The Dirty Truth

Most of us are at least peripherally familiar with the story of John Meehan, a.k.a the infamous “Dirty John,” the con-artist who terrorized women across the United States. But when the news broke of what happened to John during his final moments, the infamy surrounding his abusive escapades strangely led to several international TV deals, docuseries, and was even the basis for some of the most successful investigative true-crime podcasts ever created. Fortunes were made as a result of his long history of domestic violence and abuse, but the victims of the traumatic events were of the few who never saw a substantial pay day. In this episode we interview Terra Newell - the woman who finally put an end to the despicable “Dirty John.” She provides an eye opening look inside the strangest kind of limelight, discusses ethics and monetization in true crime, and explains what life’s really like after being involved in a homicide that captivated the world. Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway. Special Thanks to Terra Newell.

The Zombie Hunter (Part Two)

The Zombie Hunter (Part Two)

(Part 2 of 2) After a cold case of over 20 years was cracked thanks to advancements in forensic genealogy, Phoenix police were certain that the Arizona Canal Killings were finally over. However, after 42-year-old Bryan Patrick Miller was arrested, authorities learned their suspect may have been much more active than they originally thought…From 1992 to 2013, several underage girls and women went missing and were never found. Others turned up brutally murdered. The locations of these violent acts were Phoenix and Tempe, AZ and Machias, WA. As it turns out, Bryan Patrick Miller happened to be living in the areas where nearly all of these unsolved crimes took place - giving law enforcement reason to believe that they may very well have a serial killer on their hands… Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

The Zombie Hunter (Part One)

The Zombie Hunter (Part One)

(Part 1 of 2) The 1990’s was arguably one of the best decades ever. Creepy Crawlers and Barbie’s Golden Dream Motorhomes were under every Christmas tree while “Right Said Fred” was letting the world know that he was far too sexy for his shirt. While these were some of the best years for many of us, for residents of Phoenix, AZ - it was all nightmares and dreamscapes. When two women were found brutally murdered a year apart from one another, the similarities between the crime scenes were too profound to ignore. 22-year-old Angela Brosso and 17 year-old Melanie Bernas were both riding along the Arizona Canal on their bicycles in 1992 and 1993. The residents of this city were sure things couldn’t get any worse, until a 23 year old cold case wound up producing several more victims, all at the hands of one man who called himself, “The Zombie Hunter.” Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

Split Four Ways

Carol and Reggie Sumner were high school sweethearts back in the 1960’s. Nearly two decades later, the universe would lead them back into each other's arms in a tale that can only be explained as true romance. The couple, now in their 60's, was gearing up for retirement- fully prepared to spend the rest of their lives together down in sunny Florida. But after a neighbor of theirs, 23-year-old Tiffany Cole, realized that Carol and Reggie had some money in the bank, an evil plot began to form. One that would eventually end with 4 people facing the death penalty and two others buried alive in a shallow grave… Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

Lone Survivor (Part One)

(Part 1 of 2) The thought of marriage can be overwhelming…Even if you’re sure you’ve met the man or woman of your dreams, it’s a commitment that should never be taken lightly. You’ve got to be careful when choosing a forever partner…because a lot of people aren’t exactly who they say they are. 27-year-old Nicholas Firkus seemed like an innocent church goer - right alongside his wife Heidi. But after a black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt broke into their St. Paul, MN home, authorities eventually began looking at the husband as a suspect, after a home invasion turned deadly.  Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

#Karen

#Karen

18-year-old Zachary Latham of Vineland, NJ was every neighbor's worst nightmare. His favorite pastimes included racing fast cars down Thornhill Road, revving his engine, and terrorizing one family in particular - The Durhams. After recording their countless confrontations, Zachary Latham soon began uploading the videos to TikTok. Using the hashtag #Karen, his content soon went viral and Zachary Latham started gaining more followers. But when the lines become blurred between online personas and real life altercations, someone is bound to get hurt eventually…or even worse. In a case that would soon become controversial headline news across the nation, the very same devices used to upload video content to social media would inevitably capture a neighborhood dispute gone terribly wrong.

Sling Blade

Sling Blade

In May of 2019 a Pensacola, FL man’s badly decomposed body was discovered bound with duct tape and tightly wrapped in a tarp at the end of a desolate road next to an old mining sediment pond. The only potential clue left behind was a piece of scrap sheetrock, a bathroom tile, and a small length of orange nylon rope. All signs would inevitably point back to the man’s next-door neighbor. But would this quiet, good ‘ole Southern boy actually talk? And might there be more victims at the end of his twisted tale of lies?  Written and Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

Problem Child

Problem Child

On August 8, 2007, EMS arrived at a residential property in Esto, FL to render life saving aid to an unresponsive 7-year-old girl who had been found floating face down in a backyard pool. The child’s mother, Amanda Lewis, showed every sign of a parent in distress as her daughter was airlifted to the hospital. 7-year-old Adrianna Hutto tragically died and almost became another statistic in a long list of annual accidental drownings…that is, until a key witness came forward saying her death was no accident at all…  Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.
