This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)
This Feels Criminal | Formerly Killer Queens | Daylight Media
There’s always more to the story. We grew up on Dateline, survived the era of AOL chatrooms, and now we’re asking the deeper, more difficult questions. Formerly known as Killer Queens, Tyrella and Nikita return with This Feels Criminal—a thoughtful evolution of the true crime conversation for an audience that’s grown up right alongside us.
The Perspective
After eight years and hundreds of cases, Tyrella has undergone a total deconstruction of the genre. Moving from the "if they confessed, they’re guilty" mindset to a deep understanding of systemic failures, her goal is to turn listeners into savvy jurors who know how to look past the surface. She is joined by Nikita, a practicing attorney who provides the legal literacy and technical breakdown needed to navigate the complexities of the justice system.
The Vibe
Think of us as your smart, slightly sarcastic filters for the chaos of all that feels criminal. We aren’t here for the shock value or the sensationalism; we’re here for the nuance. We dive deep into media framing, legal hurdles, and the psychology behind the headlines—all while maintaining an emotionally safe space and that signature dry millennial humor.
What’s In The Feed
From weekly flagship cases and trial analysis to documentary deep-dives, TFC is a home for the intellectually curious. We believe in education over exploitation and context over clickbait. It’s a research-driven, human-centered look at the stories that feel just a little too criminal to ignore.

209: The Lost Boys of Bucks County
In the summer of 2017, one young man went missing in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. While investigating his disappearance, it came to light that three other young men were missing in Bucks County at the same time. Days later, three of their bodies would be found, and the common thread between them would prove to be responsible for their deaths. His eventual cooperation led to the location of the 4th body, and all 4 of the lost boys of Bucks County were returned to their families.

208: Murdaugh Murders- Part 2
Part 2 of 2
On June 7, 2021, Alex Murdaugh came home to his large property in Colleton County, South Carolina to find his wife, 52-year-old Maggie and his youngest son, 22-year-old Paul, dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The Murdaughs were a powerful and prominent family throughout the low country of South Carolina and the murders of Maggie and Paul made national news. Unfortunately, the significant media attention shed a bright spotlight on the Murdaugh family and their suspicious involvement in multiple deaths and the theft of millions of dollars. Throughout multiple investigations, law enforcement and the media have uncovered lies on top of lies that proved the Murdaughs weren’t only powerful and prominent; they had been above the law and used their name to cover-up countless crimes without any remorse. However, the question remained…who targeted Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, and most concerning, was it their own husband and father?

205: Shooting Victim Ryan Waller's Unbelievable Abuse by Police
In 2006, Don Waller made plans to have Christmas dinner with his son Ryan and Ryan’s girlfriend Heather Quan. Don called Ryan before dinner and throughout the day to remind him, but Ryan never answered his calls. After Dinner, Don called once again, and again, the call went unanswered. Don went to Ryan’s house, and when there was no answer to the door, called the police to have them initiate a welfare check. When they finally arrived, they discovered that Heather was deceased after being shot, and Ryan looked as if he had been in a fight. They set their sights on Ryan as their prime suspect, but that all changed during his interrogation.
