  • Bonus: Advocacy Con with Eric Carter-Landin & Whitney St. Andre

    Bonus: Advocacy Con with Eric Carter-Landin & Whitney St. Andre
    4 Sep 2026

    In this special edition of Weird True Crime, Gina sits down with Whitney St. Andre (co-host of Navigating Advocacy) and Eric Carter Landin (host of True Consequences) to talk about AdvocacyCon — a one-of-a-kind conference built for families of the missing and murdered, happening September 11–13 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Eric shares his deeply personal story of fighting for justice for his brother Jacob, who was murdered in 1987, and how decades of being failed by the legal system drove him to found the nonprofit Angel's Voices Silenced No More and create a space where families don't have to navigate their grief alone. Whitney recounts how she and her co-host Melissa stumbled into advocacy through the Brandon Lawson case and eventually teamed up with Eric to build AdvocacyCon from the ground up — a conference designed not for content creators or entertainment, but for the families themselves.

    This year's conference features a powerful lineup, including a keynote from Nicole Schmidt (Gabby Petito's mother), sessions on missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, investigative genetic genealogy, private forensic testing, wrongful convictions, and new law enforcement–led panels requested by attendees. With on-site licensed mental health clinicians, therapy dogs, a "Wall of Hope" art project, a trauma writing workshop, and intentional shared meals, AdvocacyCon goes beyond education to foster genuine community and long-lasting support networks. Eric and Whitney also discuss scholarships available through the Impact Advocacy Foundation, a new virtual attendance option, and their ambitious future plans — including a mountain grief retreat and potential expansion into domestic violence and human trafficking advocacy. Listeners can donate, purchase merch (100% of proceeds fund family scholarships), or simply help by sharing and spreading the word.

  • What Melissa Left | Episode 6: Undetermined

    What Melissa Left | Episode 6: Undetermined
    2 Sep 2026
    Melissa Casias's long awaited autopsy report is finally in, and in this episode, Gina and Amber break down exactly what it says, including new context from the Mondragon family about the remote stone basin where Melissa was found, and why it doesn't match what NMSP originally told them.
    They walk through the gunshot trajectory, the toxicology findings that are still incomplete, and why forensic experts, including former FBI Special Agent Daniel Bruner, are questioning whether the manner of death, officially listed as undetermined, tells the whole story.
    They also revisit key evidence and statements from earlier episodes in light of what's now known, and share where Gina and Amber personally stand on the case. Everything shared in this episode comes directly from the official autopsy report, documented evidence, and statements from Melissa's family and their legal team.

  • UNSOLVED SKYJACKING || D.B. Cooper | Your Host Jules (guest episode)

    UNSOLVED SKYJACKING || D.B. Cooper | Your Host Jules (guest episode)
    26 Aug 2026
    As the rest of the country was settling in and finalizing holiday meals, a man in his mid forties with unremarkable features, yet a quiet and steady demeanor walks through the Portland International Airport. It’s Thanksgiving Eve, Nov 24th, 1971. He approaches the ticket agent at Northwest Orient Airlines and requests to purchase a one- way ticket to Seattle aboard flight 305- a mere 25 minute journey in the air.
    The Boeing 727 holds the man, and 36 other passengers. He is kindly served a bourbon and soda, but before settling in for the rest of the flight, he brings a briefcase to his lap and calls over to the stewardess once again. What she witnesses next, will change not only the course of the flight, but her life, for everyone on board is about to become involved in the most notorious unsolved flight- hijacking in American history. Her eyes glance into the man’s case and widen as she realizes what she is seeing- a bomb.

    This is the case of America's largest unsolved skyjacking and the man who to this day is still unidentified.
