  • The Detective Who Buried a Man Alive: The Barry Gibbs Frame-Up

    The Detective Who Buried a Man Alive: The Barry Gibbs Frame-Up
    2 Nov 2026
    The Detective Who Buried a Man Alive: The Barry Gibbs Frame-Up

    A postal worker, a decorated detective, and two witnesses - but only one man spent nineteen years in prison. This episode reveals how a single off-duty detective steered an investigation, coerced an identification, and left a Vietnam veteran to serve nearly two decades for a murder he did not commit. How did a routine life become perfect cover for a frame-up?

    In this episode, we walk through the events of November 4, 1986, the roles played by the people at the Belt Parkway crime scene, and the gaps that turned a four-day trial into a nineteen-year conviction. What evidence was hidden, who was pressured, and how did the truth finally emerge?

    Person: Barry Gibbs
    Person: Louis Eppolito
    Date: November 4, 1986
    Location: Belt Parkway, Brooklyn
    Duration: 19 years in prison

    - Barry Gibbs was 38 years old, a postal worker and Vietnam veteran with no prior arrests.
    - The victim was found strangled and thrown from a moving vehicle on November 4, 1986.
    - A jogger named Peter Mitchell witnessed the body being thrown and later identified Gibbs at a lineup after Eppolito showed him who to select.
    - Parks officer Gentili saw the driver at the scene but never identified Barry Gibbs and was not presented at trial by the defense.
    - Barry Gibbs’ trial lasted four days and led to a conviction that resulted in 19 years of imprisonment.

  • The Axe That Vanished: How Evidence Was Turned Into Silence

    The Axe That Vanished: How Evidence Was Turned Into Silence
    1 Nov 2026
    The Axe That Vanished: How Evidence Was Turned Into Silence

    Fear sits behind ordinary nights: two seventeen-year-old girls cycled home from Teddington Lock in 1953 and by morning one body floated in the Thames and another washed up two miles downstream; an axe thought to be the murder weapon was handled so casually it became nearly useless as evidence - how did an object vanish into silence and change the course of justice?

    In this episode, we tell the story of the disappearances and deaths of Barbara Songhurst and Christine Reed, the arrest and conviction of Alfred Whiteway, and the unanswered question about the axe that jurors sent to the judge before delivering their verdict; could the missing forensic clarity around that axe explain why this case still matters?

    Person: Barbara Songhurst
    Person: Christine Reed
    Person: Alfred Whiteway
    Date: 31 May 1953 (night of disappearance)
    Location: Teddington Lock, Thames

    - Barbara Songhurst was found floating in the Thames at 8:15 the morning after, 800 yards downstream from Teddington Lock.
    - Christine Reed’s body was discovered five days later on Glover’s Island, two miles further downriver.
    - Both victims were seventeen years old and had their shoes neatly placed together in undergrowth beside the towpath.
    - Alfred Whiteway was twenty-one, lived less than a mile from the lock, and had prior convictions including a 1948 burglary sentence and recent sexual assaults in the area.
    - The axe believed to be the murder weapon was taken home by a police officer and used to chop firewood before reaching the courtroom.

  • When the Wrong Cargo Arrived: Undercover in a Medellín Sting

    When the Wrong Cargo Arrived: Undercover in a Medellín Sting
    31 Oct 2026
    When the Wrong Cargo Arrived: Undercover in a Medellín Sting

    The wrong shipment turned a year-long undercover sting into a surreal trap: agents found 272 crates with 19,000 pounds of marijuana worth over $21 million-none of it what was promised. How did a meticulously built identity and a single misdelivered container upend an operation that had taken months to earn trust?

    In this episode, we follow Detective Richard Eppolito’s undercover work as "Tony Romano," the months of cultivation inside New York’s drug networks, and the simultaneous February 3, 1993, raids that unfolded across a warehouse and six locations. What went wrong between the broker’s promise and the cartel’s delivery?

    Person: Richard Eppolito
    Alias: Tony Romano
    Date: February 3, 1993
    Seizure: 272 crates, 19,000 pounds of marijuana
    Value: more than $21 million

    - Operation began with a December 1991 tip naming a broker called Eduardo.
    - The port of New York received approximately 5,000 shipping containers per day.
    - Each shipping container held between 18,000 and 30,000 pounds of cargo.
    - Wiretaps were deployed after an initial buy established probable cause.
    - The raid targeted one warehouse and six separate New York locations simultaneously.
