    On a cold March evening in 2023, police in Englewood, Colorado responded to a 911 call from 81-year-old Reginald Maclaren. Inside his upscale apartment, they uncovered a scene so brutal, it would briefly dominate headlines before vanishing just as quickly. The victims were Reginald’s wife and daughter. They were two women who lived quietly, knew no one, and left behind almost nothing. It was their bodies, and the way they were found, that told the horrifying story of their deaths.

    In a quiet Ohio suburb where families mow their lawns and kids ride bikes on the sidewalks, police uncover a bloody scene: two decomposing bodies, Regina Capobianco and her friend John Mann, buried beneath trash inside a modest home. As investigators peel back the layers, they don’t just find evidence of murder; they find broken families, desperate choices, and a trail of secrets that stretches from prison cells to nail salons. In a quiet, family-friendly town, someone let a killer through the front door.

Great podcast. The presenter is brutally honest about the current society we are living in and I respect him for this.

Respect for boldness

I really enjoy this podcast. The host doesn’t shy away from controversial topics and isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers. A heads-up if you’re sensitive: he can be quite outspoken, and occasionally says things that make me roll my eyes, but more often than not, I find myself agreeing with him. That aside, the podcast is incredibly informative. The host is sharp, keeps the narrative on track, and often asks the exact questions you’re thinking. A must-listen for true crime fans.
