In April 2012, 61-year-old Mark Staudte died on the floor of his home. When the authorities arrived, his wife, Diane, seemed.. .unphased. And the kids were playing video games in the living room. It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE. Again, Diane had no questions. So what in the ever loving hell was going on here? You're about to find out, Fam, by way of SOME OF

OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there

One dark night in their home led to a terrible mistake - or was it? Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper and run a comb through your hair, Fam, and follow along with the story with us.Find and watch

2026/09/29

In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED

OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do with it. But, shockingly, it was well preserved. And though it would take THIRTY FIVE YEARS to get it

Fam, let us ask you a question: Would you ever, say, give up your home, your job, your friends and family to move to move to Minnesota and live in a house where you sleep on the floor in sleeping bags and work FOR FREE for 18 hours a day? Yes? Yes you would? THEN DO WE HAVE THE CULT FOR YOU!!! Ugh, here we go again: sleep deprivation, free labor, AND AN INSUFFERABLE LEADER WHOSE BODY IS CONSTANTLY BEING TAKEN OVER BY SPIRITUAL ENTITIES FROM THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. And the names.

When no suspect emerges, Jerry's best friend Randy - WHO HE MET AT A GAY LINE DANCING BAR - presents the cops with a critical piece of information that eventually solves the case. It involves a loser shitbag roommate, a gay bakery, and a CAKE DECORATING ROOM.

Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband. Perhaps a bit... too close. We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie. Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her?

Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character? Yeesh. This creep runs the gamut from theft to selling dogs online to rape and murder - but talks his way out of things thanks to gullible investigators, at least for a time until someone close to him turns the tables.

Take a deep breath for this one, Fam! On December 6, 1991, four teenaged girls were found sexually assaulted and murdered in an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop in Austin, Texas.
