Mega Edition: The Great Basin Serial Killer (10/3/25)

The Gilgo Beach murders refer to a string of killings uncovered in December 2010, when police searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert discovered multiple sets of human remains along a stretch of Ocean Parkway on Long Island, New York. Over time, investigators identified at least ten sets of remains, including four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—collectively known as the “Gilgo Four.” These women were sex workers who had advertised services online and were believed to have been targeted in similar ways. Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Newly disclosed U.S. congressional records show that Prince Andrew was listed as a passenger on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane on May 12, 2000, traveling from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida. In a related “general ledger,” Andrew is referenced as having paid $200 for “massage, exercise and yoga” services in February 2000 — the same amount Epstein’s victims have said they were paid for massages linked to abuse. The documents also place Andrew on Epstein’s jet in later years, including 2002 and 1999 trips to the U.S. Virgin Islands, with his name appearing multiple times in the flight logsThough Andrew has consistently denied any improper conduct, the revelations are intensifying calls from U.S. officials to subpoena him to testify, alongside several other high-profile figures named in the released materials. The documents, part of over 8,500 records surrendered by Epstein’s estate, also reveal connections between Epstein and prominent public figures such as Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel — with potential meetings and visits to Epstein’s island documented in his calendar logs.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew ‘flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and received massages’Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Former U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George aggressively pursued a civil racketeering (CICO) investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s operations in the territory, focusing on how he used his private island, banks, and shell companies as part of a trafficking network. As part of that effort, she issued a wide wave of subpoenas targeting some of the most powerful players connected to Epstein’s financial web, including banking giants like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, as well as figures tied to his estate and charitable foundations. George sought extensive records on accounts, transfers, and relationships that could demonstrate not just Epstein’s individual crimes but a broader pattern of institutional complicity.The scope of her subpoenas rattled both Wall Street and political elites, because it suggested her office was building a case that Epstein had not acted alone—that there were enablers and beneficiaries. Critics allege that her firing in early 2023 by the Virgin Islands’ governor, announced just days after she filed suit against JPMorgan, was directly connected to her aggressive tactics. While she is no longer in office, her investigations laid the groundwork for ongoing litigation by the Virgin Islands government, which has since extracted large settlements from banks and forced disclosures that continue to reveal how deep Epstein’s financial ties ran.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The relationship between Prince Andrew and King Charles III has long been fraught, but it grew far more contentious in the wake of Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein. After the disastrous 2019 BBC “Newsnight” interview, Andrew was forced to step back from public duties, and Charles was widely reported to have been the driving force behind sidelining his younger brother to protect the monarchy’s image. Their tensions deepened when Charles, then Prince of Wales, allegedly pushed Queen Elizabeth II to strip Andrew of his military titles and patronages, moves Andrew resisted but ultimately could not stop.Since Charles’s accession to the throne, the rift has only widened. Charles has refused Andrew any return to public life and has moved to reduce Andrew’s role within the family, even limiting his use of royal residences like Royal Lodge. Andrew, meanwhile, has reportedly chafed at his brother’s firm stance, feeling abandoned and marginalized. What emerges is a relationship marked by power struggles and mistrust, with Charles prioritizing the survival of the monarchy’s reputation over family loyalty, and Andrew left isolated as a disgraced figure still fighting for relevance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Juror #50, identified publicly as Scotty David, became a focal point of controversy after Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial. Before the trial, on his juror questionnaire, he answered “no” when asked if he or any close relation had ever been the victim of sexual abuse. But after the verdict, David gave interviews saying he had been sexually abused as a child, and that during jury deliberations he shared parts of that experience to help other jurors understand how memory and trauma work—insisting his personal history informed their view of witness testimony.Maxwell’s defense seized on those revelations, demanding a new trial on the grounds that David’s omission and his post-trial statements suggested bias and a failure of the Court’s vetting process. In response, Judge Alison Nathan held a hearing, granted David immunity to answer questions, and ultimately ruled that his misstatement was an “inadvertent mistake” (not a deliberate lie) and did not prove that he was unable to be fair or had tainted the verdict. The appellate court later agreed, rejecting the retrial request, concluding that David’s presence on the jury did not, under law, amount to a violation of Maxwell’s right to a fair jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In State v. Bryan C. Kohberger, Case No. CR01-24-31665, Judge Steven Hippler issued a Memorandum Decision and Order addressing multiple defense motions aimed at removing the death penalty as a sentencing option. The defense presented 12 motions challenging various aspects of Idaho's capital punishment framework, including the constitutionality of execution methods and the applicability of certain aggravating factors. After thorough consideration, Judge Hippler denied all motions, affirming that the death penalty remains a viable sentencing option in this case.The court's 55-page decision systematically addressed each defense argument, referencing precedents set by the Idaho Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court that uphold the constitutionality of capital punishment. Judge Hippler concluded that the defense's claims did not warrant the removal of the death penalty, allowing the prosecution to continue seeking it as a potential sentence. This ruling signifies a pivotal moment in the proceedings, underscoring the court's commitment to adhering to established legal standards in capital cases. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:112024-Memorandum-Decision-Order-Death-Penalty-Motions.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
