Fit For TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser | Serial Streamers TV Club

We’re bringing back a very special episode featuring none other than True Crime Legend, Josh Mankiewicz of Dateline NBC. My good friend, Kari Martin of White Wine True Crime podcast, and I got together with Manks and recorded this episode. We talked about murder, relationships, Dateline episodes, Scott Peterson, childhood …and Eminem even came up during our convo. At the end of the episode, you’re going to hear a little ditty that Kari and I wrote and performed for Josh. Once this episode airs, any dignity and self-respect Kari and I had will have been flushed down the toilet. But I have to say, it was welllllll worth it.  Sponsor: NomNom - For 50% off your no-risk two-week trial head to trynom.com/murderish Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast.

Kelsey Turner was the kind of woman who drew people in without trying. Her bleach-blonde hair and hourglass figure made her a natural model. In a sea of beautiful California women, though, modeling gigs weren’t plentiful enough to support her expensive tastes. Like many young women nowadays, she turned to online sites to sell amateur photos.  By doing so, Kelsey caught the attention of many admirers. Among them was prominent psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Burchard. Despite pushing 70, he was infatuated with 25-year-old Kelsey and offered her ample financial perks to keep her happy.  But the doctor’s attraction for Kelsey began to seriously cloud his judgment. It turned out his giving, sympathetic nature only made him more vulnerable to dangerous predators. Ultimately, that vulnerability led to the doctor’s demise.   Become a MURDERISH | Behind the Mic member and get access to bonus episodes, ad-free episodes and many other exclusive perks.

What would you be willing to do for your best friend? Tell a lie? Keep their darkest secret? Commit a crime? What if your best friend asked you to take their life? What would you do then?   Trevor Bartlett and Mario Mills were best friends. On cold Wyoming nights, the pair would escape to Mills’ garage to drink, smoke and play cards until they could barely stand. Most times, the worst damage was some vomit and a splitting hangover. But on the evening of March 25, 2020, the result was far different. An early morning 911 call drew police to the nondescript home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Inside the garage cops found 37-year-old Trevor Bartlett, a loving father and loyal friend, shot through the head, dead on the cold concrete floor.   Was it a suicide? Murder? Or something else?   Become a MURDERISH | Behind the Mic member and get access to bonus episodes, ad-free episodes and many other exclusive perks.

When a 25 year old Jessica McCormack and her three young daughters disappeared suddenly in July of 2019, Jessica’s closest friends thought she was taking time away to decompress. They had conversations with her on Facebook while she was gone, but it soon became clear that the person on Facebook was just an imposter who’d hacked into Jessica’s account. Several weeks later, Jessica’s body was found on a highway in the Ozarks after apparently falling out of a suitcase that she’d been stuffed into. The shocking discovery prompted a search for Jessica’s three daughters. This would mark the beginning of an ongoing fight to find answers: who killed Jessica McCormack?   To report information regarding the murder of Jessica McCormack, please contact the McDonald County Sheriff’s Office at (417) 223-4319, or try calling the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

When heading out to run errands, you fully expect to make it home safely. In June of 2007, 18-year-old Kelsey Smith went to the store, but she never made it home. No one could’ve predicted that less than two weeks after high school graduation, Kelsey’s life would come to a violent end. Outside a Target store less than 10 minutes from her childhood home, Kelsey was forced into her car and abducted. As Johnson County detectives frantically searched for the missing teen, the community struggled to understand how something like this could’ve happened in broad daylight.   The Kelsey Smith Foundation: KelseysArmy.org   Become a MURDERISH | Behind the Mic member.

Entering the spring of 1986, Margo McKee’s story could’ve been ripped from a Hallmark movie. Despite losing her mother and father to cancer when she was 12, she’d blossomed into a straight-A student who attended church and volunteered around town. Her foster parents, Ross and Wyona Sterling, were satisfied they’d delivered on the promise they made to Margo’s dying parents five years earlier ..that they would raise the brown-eyed girl as their own. But by summer’s end, Margo would be dead ..her beaten and battered body buried in a shallow grave beneath a foot of sand, driftwood and dirt. Gone, too, was the baby inside her womb. How does such a promising young life take such a dramatic and dark turn?   Become a MURDERISH | Behind the Mic member. Members can get access to exclusive, ad-free episodes & many other great perks.
