The Corpsewood Manor Murders

On December 12, 1982, deep in the Georgia woods, a secluded castle became the scene of a brutal double murder. Charles Scudder and Joey Odom had built Corpsewood Manor as their dream home, hoping to escape the outside world and live peacefully, surrounded by art, music, and their beloved dogs. But that dream came to a horrifying end when visitors arrived with deadly intentions. What followed was a disturbing story involving allegations of LSD, sexual encounters, Satanism, and even supernatural influence. But behind the sensational headlines and rumors was a far more heartbreaking truth. Join me as we uncover the history of Corpsewood Manor, the murders that destroyed three lives, and the eerie legends that still surround its ruins. Got a story to tell?

TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying (Part 2)

Part 1 left us with one hell of a plot twist, but somehow, this story is about to get even crazier. When 22-year-old Brian Barrett gets pulled into the already complicated web of lies, he begins a relationship with “Jessi,” completely unaware that she isn’t who she claims to be. Meanwhile, Thomas becomes increasingly jealous, obsessive, and angry as the online fantasy he created begins unraveling around him. Threats are made. Lines are crossed. And eventually, a love triangle built almost entirely on people pretending to be someone else ends with the one person who wasn’t lying about who he was losing his life. In Part 2 of TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying, we’re getting into the murder of Brian Barrett, the investigation that finally uncovered the full truth, and the absolutely insane aftermath of one of the messiest catfishing cases I’ve ever covered.

TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying (Part 1)

What started as an online romance between two 18-year-olds quickly turned into a web of lies, fake identities, and increasingly questionable decisions. Back in 2005, Thomas Montgomery, a 46-year-old former Marine, had been posing as an 18-year-old on a site called Pogo. During this time, he developed a deeply inappropriate relationship with a young, beautiful 18-year-old high school student named Jessi, who went by the screen name TalHotBlond. When Jessi begins another relationship with a younger man, jealousy and obsession begin pushing an online fantasy toward very real (and eventually deadly) consequences. And just when you think you’ve figured out who’s lying about what…think again. Part 2 drops September 30. And it. Is. Bananas. Got a story to tell?

The Stanley Hotel: All Ghosts and No Play

High in the mountains of Estes Park, Colorado, sits one of America's most infamous haunted hotels. The Stanley Hotel may be best known as the inspiration behind Stephen King's The Shining, but its ghosts have created a reputation all their own. This week, we're checking into Room 217. We’ll explore the Stanley's history, its connection to Stephen King, how this hotel made its way into pop culture, and the paranormal activity reported throughout the property.

The Murder of Sherri Rasmussen: A Deadly Obsession

In 1986, 29-year-old Sherri Rasmussen was found brutally murdered inside her Los Angeles home. While investigators blamed a botched burglary, Sherri’s family repeatedly pointed toward someone much closer to the couple. For 23 years, the case went cold. Until DNA evidence revealed that Sherri’s killer wasn’t a random burglar at all. This was someone from her husband’s past who had spent decades hiding in plain sight… inside the LAPD. This week, we’re diving into the murder of Sherri Rasmussen, the evidence investigators overlooked, and the cold case that finally exposed an LAPD detective. Got a story to tell?
