Episode 134 - Framed: The Story Of Russ Faria - Part 1/2
We take a look into a case with so many twists and turns, that it’s made its way into a dramatized series “The thing about Pam” starring Rene Zellweger. However, in this version of events, Pam Hupp takes a backseat as we focus on the destruction she left in her wake. Her victims, the survivors, and how Russ Faria was left picking up the pieces of his life, ignited by a single mission - to prevent his experience from ever happening to someone else.How to support:For extra perks including extra content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterSpecial Thanks:Russ FariaCarol McAfeeResearch & Writing:Ryan DeiningerSources:Bone Deep, Charles Bosworth, Jr. & Joel Schwartz (2022)WikipediaThe Thing About Pam (NBC Podcast)911 CallNewsweekForejustice.orgFOX2

Episode 130 - Hiding In Plain Sight
Watch enough crime shows and it doesn’t take long to figure out the steps a killer will take to get away with murder.
They stage the crime scene, they ditch the murder weapon, they fabricate an alibi, and at all costs, make sure to keep their mouths shut until the day they die.
But in the case you’re about to hear the killer takes things a step further by actually manipulating information in the case file. Even making evidence disappear. All while hiding in plain sight for more than two decades.
