Cover Up: The Anthrax Threat

On July 4, 1954, a pregnant woman was bludgeoned to death in her Ohio home, and suspicion immediately fell on her husband, a young surgeon who claimed a "bushy-haired" intruder was responsible. The case became a media sensation and later inspired the film The Fugitive. Decades on, the question remains: did Dr. Sam Sheppard get away with murder, or did the system nearly destroy an innocent man?

The Real Fugitive: Murder of the Fourth of July

A 19-year-old Cal Poly freshman leaves a Memorial Day party in 1996 and never makes it back to her dorm. No body, no crime scene – just one last person seen walking beside her in the dark.

For nearly 25 years, the case of Kristin Smart went cold — kept alive only by a family that refused to stop asking questions. It took a small-town sheriff willing to break silence and an outsider podcaster methodically knocking on doors to finally crack open what happened that night — and why so many people stayed quiet for so long.

Where is Kristin Smart?

On June 17th, Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison without parole — but the verdict only deepens the question at the heart of this case. What kind of man keeps a private "how to get away with murder" playbook and still convinces his wife, his neighbors, and his coworkers he's just an ordinary Long Island dad? 

In this Crime Scene bonus, forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston joins us to unpack the psychology of the Gilgo Beach killer: how Rex Heuermann compartmentalized two lives for more than a decade, why the people closest to him never saw it, and what the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit will be looking for when they finally sit across from him.

BONUS: Inside the Mind of Rex Heuermann — with Dr. Joni Johnston

A Long Island architect and family man pleads guilty to killing multiple women — finally putting a name and a face to a case that haunted New York for more than a decade. 

But as investigators unearth Rex Heuermann's private "how to get away with murder" playbook and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit prepares to sit across from him, the real chill comes from how carefully he studied the people hunting him, and how many chances those closest to him had to see who he really was before the bodies were ever found.

Gilgo Beach Killer

He had the trailers. He had the real law-enforcement locations. He had photos of himself grinning beside power players in Washington. The one thing Joseph Medawar didn't have was the show — a patriotic prestige drama about the Department of Homeland Security that he raised millions to produce, and that never aired a single frame.

This week, Jonathan and Cooper trace how a B-movie producer in Los Angeles turned a TV series that didn't exist into the most convincing performance of his career — and how long it took the people writing the checks to realize the only thing in production was the con itself.

Hollywood Con Man

A church organist in Springfield, Missouri buries her husband, then her son, both written off as victims of the same nasty “flu.” When a third family member suddenly collapses, that “coincidence” starts to look more like design than fate, and the question becomes who inside the Staudte house was quietly deciding who lived and who died.

The Antifreeze Murders

Four days before a 600‑person Georgia wedding, a churchgoing bride laces up for a quick jog and disappears, leaving her keys and three‑carat ring behind like she’s been plucked out of her own love story. As search teams flood the town and the FBI closes in on her fiancé, a call from hundreds of miles away blows apart the kidnapping tale and leaves everyone wondering whether Jennifer Wilbanks was running for her life…or from it.

The Runaway Bride

A reclusive “mountain man” in the Montana backcountry lives off the grid with his wolf‑dogs and a stack of trespass complaints, convinced the rutted dirt track to his cabin is his to control. When he disappears and dismembered remains in garbage bags surface along a lonely mountain pass, the bad blood on Turk Road suddenly looks less like a neighbor dispute and more like the start of a chilling question: who decided this feud would end in murder?

Mountain Man Mike

Kouri Richins has been sentenced — and we're breaking down every detail with Annie Elise. But first, Cooper and Jonathan share the wild ride that got Kouri here. 

Convicted of aggravated murder for poisoning her husband Eric with five times a lethal dose of fentanyl, Kouri faced either 25 years to life or life without parole. 

The prosecution asked for the maximum — and Eric's own sons said they're afraid of what she'd do if released. 

Annie Elise (Serialously, 10 to Life) joins us to break down the verdict, the victim impact statements, the sentencing decision, and what comes next — including the expected appeals process.
