True Crime Wave: The Lure of Conspiracy Theories with Sam McGuire

True Crime Wave: The Lure of Conspiracy Theories with Sam McGuire

Sam McGuire studies conspiracy theories. He is a master's graduate from OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario. We were fortunate enough to get to talk to him about conspiracy theories, their prevalence in true crime, and how we can try to help people break the cycle of conspiratorial thinking.

In new segment, True Crime Wave, we’ll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims’ families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won’t get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

The Delphi Murders: The Unacceptable

The Delphi Murders: The Unacceptable

It's no secret that the Delphi murders case has attracted a robust and at times confounding internet following. But some have carved out an especially extreme and troubling niche within that space.This episode covers the bizarre online behavior by the following so-called internet sleuths: Angela Sadlowski, Courtney Parsons, Paul Mannion, and Kathryn or Kate O'Hehir. These four are dedicated to digging into the Delphi murders case, and willing to use harassment, stalking, and libel to smear just about everyone else involved in the case.In this episode, we'll also get into shocking claims that Mannion has made regarding the leak of discovery materials in the Delphi case.Listen to our past coverage of the unsuccessful lawsuit filed against Carroll County filed by Sue Wright and Angela Sadlowski: https://art19.com/shows/murder-sheet/episodes/89f862ab-f7f9-4ddd-8bf1-7136cf7e5886Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Mystery of D. B. Cooper: A Conversation with Eric Ulis

The Mystery of D. B. Cooper: A Conversation with Eric Ulis

We all have cases that for some reason or the other haunt us, that we can't stop thinking about. These are the ones that might sometimes keep us awake at night, as we turn over all the possibilities in our mind. For me, the story of D. B. Cooper is definitely one of those cases. It's not a murder case but it is a missing person case. On November 24, 1971, a man the world has come to know as D.B. Cooper hijacked a passenger plane and demanded a ransom of $200,000. After he got his money, he parachuted out into the night sky-- and was never seen again. Who was he? Why did he do it? What happened to him after he leapt out into the darkness?To get an idea of some of the possibilities, we turned to Eric Ulis. Eric is a widely recognized expert on the case-- you may have seen him discuss it on the History Channel and CNN. And he has some ideas on how the mysteries surrounding Cooper can finally be solved.
