Mega Edition: The Department Of Justice And The El Chapo Appeal Brief (Par 7-8) (9/1/25)
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The LISK Files: The Arrest Of Rex Heuermann
In July 2023, Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old Manhattan architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island, was arrested near his Midtown office in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders. Investigators linked him to the killings through DNA evidence obtained from a discarded pizza crust and subsequent cheek swab, as well as hair recovered from the crime scenes that matched his wife. Authorities also traced burner phone usage, witness accounts of a distinctive vehicle, and a disturbing pattern of internet searches. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello—three of the “Gilgo Four,” whose remains were found wrapped in burlap near Gilgo Beach in 2010.Following his arrest, prosecutors widened the case, bringing additional charges in 2024. Heuermann was indicted for the murders of Sandra Costilla, dating back to 1993, and Jessica Taylor, killed in 2003. In December 2024, he was further charged with the murder of Valerie Mack, identified through genetic genealogy after her remains were discovered in 2000. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains held at the Riverhead Correctional Facility while awaiting trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@porotonmail.comsource:Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect arrested for murders of 10 women on Long Island | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The LISK Files: Did Rex Heuermann Murder His Victims At His Home?
Prosecutors allege that Rex Heuermann may have carried out the murders in the basement of his Massapequa Park home. A chilling planning document, titled “HK2002–2004” and discovered on his hard drive, includes instructions referencing “set‑up stage,” “holding area,” “build table,” “cross bar,” and “hard point”—terms investigators say align with tools and structures used in torture and bondage. The presence of violent, bondage‑style pornography on his computer helped corroborate these assumptions. Authorities believe that with his wife and children frequently out of state during the victims’ disappearances, Heuermann had “unfettered time” to commit the crimes and clean up afterward at his residenceIn December 2024, Suffolk County prosecutors formalized this theory by charging Heuermann with the murder of Valerie Mack, indicating that the basement was likely the site where at least some of the killings occurred. According to the indictment, the “planning document” included lists of supplies such as tarps, push pins, medical gloves, and guidance to remove identifying features—including tattoos—from the bodies. Prosecutors stressed that while they don’t necessarily have to prove the crimes occurred at home, the planning evidence strongly supports that scenario. Heuermann has since pleaded not guilty to all charges.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Rex Heuermann's Long Island home is possible crime scene in Gilgo Beach murders, investigators say | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Gilgo Beach Murders: How Shannan Gilbert Became An Unintended Hero (Part 2)
In May 2010, Shannan Gilbert vanished after calling 911 from a client’s home in Oak Beach, Long Island, claiming someone was chasing her. What began as a missing-person investigation for Shannan unexpectedly sparked one of the largest homicide probes in Long Island’s history. Her disappearance prompted authorities to expand the search area, leading to the discovery in December 2010 of four bodies—later known as the “Gilgo Four”—which revealed a potential serial killing spree along Ocean Parkway. Although Shannan’s death was eventually ruled accidental by drowning, her absence served as the catalyst for uncovering these victims and thrusting the broader case into the public eye.Shannan’s mother, Mari Gilbert, harnessed her grief into unyielding activism, pressuring law enforcement for accountability and greater transparency in her daughter’s case—and by extension, the larger investigation. Her persistent advocacy earned Shannan the label of an "unintended hero": it was her disappearance that opened the door to solving—or at least recognizing—the pattern of murders that might otherwise have remained hidden. Mari’s efforts kept media and public attention focused on the victims, laid groundwork for further forensic investigation, and ultimately helped bring about a suspect’s arrest in the long-standing Gilgo murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mari Gilbert's quest to find daughter Shannan led to arrest of Rex Heuermann | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

From Newsnight to 2015: How Prince Andrew Misled the World About Jeffrey Epstein (9/1/25)
Newly uncovered leaked emails show that Prince Andrew remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein until at least 2015—five years longer than the Duke claimed in his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview. At the time, Andrew insisted he cut ties after meeting Epstein in December 2010, following Epstein’s sex crime conviction. But the emails, originating from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s hacked inbox, include messages where Epstein passed along information attributed directly to “Andrew,” with Epstein confirming the source. These discussions involved potential business ventures, including a private security project in China.The revelations directly contradict Andrew’s carefully crafted public narrative and expose him as a man who misled the public, the monarchy, and investigators about the true extent of his ties to Epstein. By insisting he severed contact in 2010 while secretly maintaining communications for years, Andrew not only damaged his own credibility but also dragged the Royal Family deeper into scandal. His willingness to keep dealing with a convicted sex offender behind the scenes reveals a level of arrogance and dishonesty that makes his 2019 Newsnight denials look like a calculated performance. Far from being a victim of bad judgment, Andrew now appears complicit in sustaining a relationship he knew was toxic, raising the question of what else he has concealed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew 'remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein five years longer than he claimed in Newsnight interview', emails suggest | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Morning Update: Jeffrey Epstein, The Treasury Department And The Red Flags That Were Ignored (9/1/25)
Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, are confidential filings that financial institutions are legally required to send to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever they detect transactions that may indicate money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, or other criminal activity. They’re not evidence of a crime by themselves, but rather red flags—signals that something looks off. Banks, casinos, brokerages, and even crypto platforms file them routinely, and once submitted, they’re closely guarded, unavailable to the public, and protected by strict “no tipping off” rules. Law enforcement uses SARs to trace illicit networks, connect patterns across different institutions, and build out investigations into everything from drug cartels and terrorist cells to human trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes.Now those same reports sit at the center of a political firestorm. House Oversight Chair James Comer has formally requested that the Treasury Department turn over all SARs connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His demand signals an attempt to pull back the veil on what banks flagged about Epstein’s vast financial web—wires, transfers, shell accounts, and potential facilitators. If granted, the request could provide Congress with a rare inside look at the money trails behind Epstein’s operations, though it also raises thorny questions about confidentiality, precedent, and how much of this intelligence should be made public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Comer requests Epstein, Maxwell records from Treasury Secretary | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
