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

Bill Richardson’s political career in New Mexico has long been shadowed by persistent allegations of corruption that never fully disappeared, even after federal prosecutors declined to bring charges. The most serious accusations centered on a suspected “pay-to-play” network in which state investment contracts and pension-fund deals allegedly flowed to major campaign donors during his tenure as governor. Multiple reports detailed how financial firms that contributed heavily to Richardson’s political committees later secured lucrative placement fees or state investment mandates, raising questions about whether public funds were being used to reward political loyalty rather than financial merit. Additional claims — including accusations that judicial applicants were pressured to donate to Richardson-aligned campaigns — only deepened public suspicion that political access and personal advancement in the state were intertwined in ways that undermined transparency and trust.Because these allegations sit atop an already troubled history of political ethics scandals in New Mexico, watchdog groups and legal observers argue that the entire system demands a comprehensive, independent investigation. The state has endured a long pattern of corruption cases involving high-ranking officials, from state treasurers convicted of extortion and racketeering to judges implicated in political bribery schemes. Against that backdrop, the unresolved questions surrounding Richardson’s tenure — the investment deals, the political fundraising machinery, and the federal probe that forced him to withdraw from a Cabinet nomination — continue to raise legitimate concerns about oversight failures. A full, transparent examination of these issues is not only warranted but necessary if New Mexico hopes to repair public confidence and determine whether political influence distorted the management of taxpayer money.to contact me:bbbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Steve Mnuchin’s ties to Jean-Luc Brunel surfaced when public corporate records showed Mnuchin listed as the official “state point of contact” for Next Management Corporation, the U.S. entity founded by Brunel and his brother in 1988. The designation placed Mnuchin on paperwork connected to Brunel’s modeling empire — the same empire later accused of funneling underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein. Mnuchin’s office publicly distanced him from the connection, claiming he had no memory of meeting Brunel, no involvement with the company, and no explanation for why his name appeared on the documents. But the linkage remains one of the many odd, unresolved overlaps in the Epstein network where powerful figures appear on paperwork nobody seems eager to explain.Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly acknowledged that he flew twice on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. He said the first flight was in 1993 when he was traveling to Florida with his wife and two children, and the second occurred on another occasion when he was joined by his wife and four children going to South Dakota “to go fossil hunting”. He asserted these trips took place about thirty years ago, before Epstein’s criminal conduct was widely known, and insisted he was never alone with Epstein.  Kennedy emphasized that his participation was incidental and familial in nature—he described the flights as carrying his family on leisure or research-oriented outings, not as part of any ongoing relationship with Epstein. He also called for full transparency around Epstein’s network and urged that the “high-level political people” involved in Epstein’s activities be subject to public disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:KB-25-01-23-Hearing-Redacted.eclBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Alice Poe filed a civil complaint under a pseudonym (Alice Poe) against Epstein’s estate, alleging that she had been sexually abused by Epstein over a long period starting when she was a minor. Media reports state she accused him of grooming her, abusing her for about 15 years, and moving her through his orbit under false pretenses.In connection with her lawsuit, she sought a Motion to Proceed Anonymously (i.e., to keep her identity under seal) — asking the court to let her use the pseudonym “Alice Poe” rather than her real name. The motion was grounded in the highly sensitive personal nature of the alleged abuse and the risks she claimed would come with having her identity publicly revealed — including trauma, stigma, and potential retaliation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

President Trump’s recent call for an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — even though driven by his desire to target political enemies — has unexpectedly opened the door to the one thing victims, journalists, and the public have demanded for decades: a full, unfiltered, scorched-earth investigation into the entire Epstein network. Regardless of Trump’s motives, the demand for a comprehensive inquiry is long overdue. The evidence already available is more than sufficient to launch a massive multi-pronged federal RICO case involving human trafficking, financial crimes, money laundering, international transport of minors, conspiracy, bribery, foreign intelligence ties, prosecutorial misconduct, and systemic institutional corruption. If accountability is real, then every person connected — billionaires, politicians, bankers, intelligence agents, celebrities, academics, royals, lawyers, prosecutors, and yes, Donald Trump himself — must be investigated without exception or favoritism. Justice cannot be selective. No more theatrics, no more distraction campaigns, no more redaction games.The only viable pathway forward is the appointment of an independent special investigator with absolute authority — someone outside the political system, immune to pressure, blackmail, influence, or partisan interference. The investigation must include full subpoena power, unrestricted access to financial records, sealed depositions, recovered digital evidence, and sworn testimony from every powerful figure who once believed they were untouchable. Anything less is cosmetic theater. This is no longer about Republican vs. Democrat, or about protecting reputations — it is about whether the United States still possesses the moral backbone and institutional will to pursue truth when it threatens the elite class. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, he should welcome the spotlight. If others do, they should tremble. The time for excuses has expired. Appoint the investigator. Open the vault. And let the truth burn.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
