Kurt Money and Kateline revisit the coveted classic and all-timer, FORENSIC FILES, to talk about the 2008 murder of Alan Helmick in Colorado. His wife, Miriam, is super upset and just found a greeting card on her doorstep with a message from the killer. What does it say?! This episode is from the final season of FORENSIC FILES, Season 14, which aired in 2011. Also, K$ debuts a segment that will most likely never see the light of day again.

Kurt Money and Kateline are talking about the brand new three-part series on HBO called A KILLER STORY. Funny thing about this killer story though, it's one we have already heard! Episode #78 Deadly Obsession of our podcast talked about the Dateline on this case. But what makes it so necessary to revisit is....the fools in this documentary think Dana Chandler is wrongfully accused!! No, for real!! So the duo break down each episode and talk in awe at the seemingly bright minds that put this together and if they believe what Eileen and Keen Umbehr are trying to sell. Amazing stuff! Listen now!

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about the HBO jam 911: Did The Killer Call? It is the show that presents three stories of murder and its up to you to decide the answer. For us, the answer was simple. Talk about Season 1 Episode 3, "Reaction To Murder," but only talk about the case in Georgia, 2002, when Walter Mason calls 911 to report finding his wife murdered in the kitchen.

Oddly, K$ does not say anything The 'Burbs-related or any quotes about Walter or Queenie or anything. To make up for that egregious error, he is going to do a killer 'Burbs ref that works best in text form....WALTER, I HAVE YOUR DOG.

Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown the 1980 murder of Marlene Oakes and how wrong and dumb her husband, Bill Major, was when he said oh she just ran away on you, kids. One of those kids, LaLana Bramble, will spend years thinking her mother abandoned them. Then in 2001, new DNA advancements will confirm for her what her grandma said about her mom years ago, "Oh, she's BEEN dead."

You might be wondering what true crime episode and show we talked about that covered this case. There is a show we watched on Prime, but it is so NOT a show, and is so clearly a literal rip-off of better shows that there should be legal action. So I don't want to promote it here. We do also discuss the FORENSIC FILES episode that covers this case in the proper way, and that can be seen in Season 9's "A Daughter's Journey."

Kurt Money and Kateline kick off season four by talking about three murders that took place in Bellevue, WA, in 1990. Dr. Donald Reay was the medical examiner at the time and it is he who shall be revealing all these secrets...one of which is, Dr. Reay is still at it! Did 5,000 autopsies so far, including the cases of The Green River Killer and Ted Bundy. It is his expert opinion and knowledge that will help bring down the sadistic SOB who killed Mary Ann Pohlreich, Carole Beeth, Andrea "Randi" Levine in June of 1990.

The true crime episode that gets cleaned up today is "A Taste of Murder" from the show SECRETS OF THE MORGUE.

Holy cow, Holtheads, we've done it. We've reach the time where we sneak into the Cineramadome and have our very own awards show, giving recognition to moments from season 3. Due to popular demand, this Lestys is considerably shorter than previous ceremonies.

Tune in next week for the premiere of Season Four!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the show Homicide: Hours To Kill, yet another in a long line of true crime shows that claim to have aa new angle on the idea that “murders happen cuz of the day it happens in.” You can catch this show on Amazon Prime, we discuss the season one episode “No Place Like Home” about the murder of Diane Holik, a 43-year-old IBM specialist who met a mysterious end during a tornado in Austin, Texas, 2001. The duo break down the many suspects in this case which is a shock to neither of them because of Kateline’s proven theory.

Kurt Money and Kateline talk about he 2025 episode of A Body in the Basement about the missing person case filed in Salinas, CA, in 1984 that wasn't solved until 1998 when a drunken bet results in a lady in a crawlspace tugging on a shoe being worn by a skeleton. This really happened! Listen now to hear the details and also hear about how Christopher Denoyer did not run away from home in 1984 even if he had a bunch of great reasons to make it happen, number one being his stepdad, Jackson Villarta.
