The South Carolina Supreme Court erased Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction, and Blanca Simpson didn't pick up her phone. She drove to Maggie's grave and sat in silence.For twenty years, Blanca wasn't just cleaning the Murdaugh house — she was holding its secrets. She was the person Maggie trusted enough to pull into a room and shut the door. The person who heard Maggie say she'd give everything she had to make the thirty-million-dollar lawsuit disappear. The person who knew, just by looking at a

Why Were The Guns That Killed The Murdaughs Never Found?

2026/06/01

Here's a fact in the Alex Murdaugh case that never stops being strange: the two guns used to kill Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were never recovered. Not the shotgun. Not the rifle. Two weapons, two victims at the family's dog kennels, and to this day neither one has been found. With the South Carolina Supreme Court having overturned Murdaugh's convictions and ordered a new trial, every piece of physical evidence is about to get a second look — and the missing weapons are near the top of the list.Former

Valentine's Day 2022. Kouri Richins gave her husband a fentanyl-laced sandwich. He got violently sick. He called friends and told them he thought he was dying. He survived. Seventeen days later, she put five times the lethal dose in a Moscow Mule. He didn't survive.Most people can't get past the horror of the act itself.

2026/06/01

The Anna Kepner case has a detail that sounds almost too clean to be true: the phone that may help convict her accused killer is the same phone he allegedly tried to make disappear. According to unsealed court records, after the 18-year-old was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon, her phone was carried out of the cabin — pinging the ship's Wi-Fi the entire way — before it turned up smashed in a trash bin, where a crew member found it.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony

That recording is the front edge of the entire investigation — and to this day it's still locked away.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to dig into the evidentiary spine of this case: the doorbell camera that

2026/05/31

A wrench attack is an organized crypto-extortion operation. The networks running them recruit disposable operatives, use cryptocurrency payment channels that are nearly impossible to trace, and protect the architects behind layers of cutouts. They've been documented in cases across the country. CertiK, a leading blockchain security firm, placed Nancy Guthrie's name on its official 2026 wrench attack case list.
