When Debra Newell met John Meehan on dating site for the 50+ crowd, he seemed too good to be true. A handsome, fit, successful doctor? She was interested. But, beginning with their first date, there were warning signs...something wasn't quite right here. But she ignored her instincts and allowed him to move quickly. He moved in with her after a few weeks and convinced her to marry him after just two months. All the while, her adult children begged her to pay attention to the red flags, lies, and abusive behavior. FAM!! WE'RE ON TOUR!!

30 year old wife and mother of three, Maya Millete, was last seen on January 7, 2021. In the weeks before, her marriage had been falling apart. And on the day she vanished, she had called a divorce attorney. The next morning, January 8, Maya's husband, Larry, is seen on surveillance video backing his SUV into the garage--which is attached to the house--before driving off and being gone for 11 hours. Maya was never seen again. Seems pretty simple to explain what happened here, right? But nothing is ever simple. FAM!! WE'RE ON TOUR!!

Anna Nicole Smith was an icon--a bombshell--whose rise to international superstardom was as fast an unexpected as her tragic and untimely death. The world thought they knew her--a "dumb blonde" gold digger who would have done anything to become rich and famous. But now, for the first time, we get to know the real woman: the mother, the hard worker, the survivor the world refused to see. And we're left with the burning question--was this tragic beauty murdered by the people she trusted the most?  FAM!! WE'RE ON TOUR!!

Mid-afternoon on September 29, 2012, 56-year-old Harold Henthorn made a terrifying call to 911. He was in the middle of the Rocky Mountain National Forrest with his wife Toni...and she had just taken a brutal fall off a very high cliff. It was a tragic accident, he told the dispatcher, and his wife now lay on the forest floor in critical condition. Toni would not survive the fall, and as investigators took a closer look at Harold and Toni's marriage, it became clear that she had not been happy and that, perhaps, this had not been a fall after all. Maybe, they thought, Harold had pushed her. But even if that were true, could the prove it? FAM!

FAM!! I am so excited that I got a chance to sit down with our friend, Collier Landry, to get the full story on the making of his documentary "A Murder In Mansfield." As you know, the documentary tells the story of Collier's father murdering his mother and how Collier helped unravel the case and secure his father's conviction. In this interview we get all the details left out of the film and we talk about all the hot button issues that stood out to us. So go listen to our episode covering the documentary and then take a listen to this fascinating conversation. Also don't forget to check out Collier's podcasts "Moving Past Trauma" And "Survivor Squad."

On December 31, 1989, 11 year old Collier Landry woke up to the sound of his father murdering his mother, Noreen. When she was nowhere to be found the next day, it seemed like nobody believed Collier and the police treated the situation like a missing person's case. But less than a month later, Noreen's body is found buried in the basement his father's new home. So now what? This moving documentary tells the story of Collier's journey from helping put his father behind bars to a lifetime spent trying to understand the murder to maybe--just maybe--finding a way to create something good out of this senseless tragedy.
