1 Oregon's Deadliest Shooting – Umpqua Community College 1:23:56

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOn October 1st, 2015, tragedy struck the quiet town of Roseburg, Oregon, home to the Umpqua Community College campus. When 26-year-old Christopher Sean Harper Mercer opened fire, it became the scene of Oregon’s deadliest shooting. He fired erratically on both students and staff, senselessly killing nine people, wounding several, and leaving countless others with unimaginable trauma. Investigators would slowly uncover the story of the man behind the violence and what led him down such a deadly and destructive path. Much of his time was spent, either isolated, or in the darkest corners of the internet. That’s where his penchant for violent, hateful ideologies seemingly began. In this episode, we peel back the layers of a deeply disturbing story—exploring Harper Mercer’s childhood, his struggles with mental health, his obsession with guns, and his dogmatic descent into incel and racist philosophies. As we remember the victims, this case serves as a grim reminder of America’s ongoing mass shooting crisis. While this story undeniably centers around violence and loss, it’s also a story of resilience and humanity even amidst horror and in the face of tragedy. We also honor the incredible bravery of survivors, including Chris Mintz, a U.S. Army veteran and student who risked his life to save others during the attack. This is the story of survival, heroism, and tragedy in Snyder Hall.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHana and her adoptive brother, Immanuel, were brought from Ethiopia into what was supposed to be a loving home, but they instead found themselves in an abusive environment of isolation, starvation, and cruel punishment. Perhaps the warning signs were too subtle, because no interventions came in time to prevent the unimaginable tragedy that unfolded in May 2011. Far too often abuse is only exposed in hindsight. Larry and Carri Williams appeared to be a kind, wholesome couple devoted to raising their family in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. But behind closed doors, their strict fundamentalist Christian beliefs and harsh parenting practices would lead to a horrifying case of abuse, ultimately resulting in Hana’s tragic death. In this episode, we examine the rise of the homeschooling movement particularly in fundamentalist Christian homes, the influence of controversial child-rearing books like To Train Up a Child, as well as some of the troubling adoption practices that led us here. Hana’s death laid bare the dangers of abusive parenting ideologies and the failures in adoption oversight. She endured years of mistreatment before her body sadly succumbed to the persistent abuse that she had already endured for years at the Williams family’s rural home. What red flags were ignored along the way? Can justice ever truly be served? Join us as we uncover the heartbreaking story of abuse, control, and religious extremism that devastated a community.

The backdrop was both scenic and rugged. What was supposed to be a carefree adventure outdoors turned into a chilling mystery when Anu walked away from their campsite—completely nude, save for her fanny pack—and never returned. Despite extensive search efforts, the only trace of her was a set of footprints leading toward a road. Her extremely limited supplies, tucked into the fanny pack she’d donned, would do little to stave off any number of threats she may have encountered in the woods.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOn June 30th, 2001, in the quiet town of Hood River, locals would be saddened by the discovery of Eric Tamiyasu’s body in his rural home. But nothing could prepare them for the shocking realization that would come just a day later following his autopsy. He had been shot three times in the head, his body left undisturbed in his bed for nearly a week prior to the gruesome discovery. There were no signs of forced entry and nothing was stolen. It appeared that whoever entered his home that night had one purpose—murder. On the day his body was discovered authorities made an inexplicable decision: they burned Eric’s mattress before determining his cause of death. Whether this was an act of negligence or the intentional destruction of evidence remains a point of controversy. The case, which seemed solvable in its early days, quickly became muddled by speculation, rumors, and lost forensic opportunities. Three main suspects emerged, though some speculate about a potential fourth. A business partner accused of embezzlement. A supposed close friend who knew more than he should have. A sheriff whose involvement in the case raised serious questions. There was even talk of a romantic rivalry, one that could have turned deadly without Eric even realizing. With each revelation, the mystery surrounding Eric’s death seemingly only deepened. Despite being featured on Unsolved Mysteries, no arrests have ever been made, and his family continues to seek justice. Was this a crime of passion, a financial dispute turned deadly, or something even more sinister? As we unravel the timeline, the evidence, and the missteps in the investigation, one thing becomes clear—someone knows the truth about what happened to Eric Tamiyasu. Visit our website!

This episode, we delve into the life and crimes of Scott Scurlock, the bank robber who captivated law enforcement, the media, and public in the early 1990s. Known as "Hollywood" for his cinematic disguises & high-stakes escapades. We’ll provide a glimpse into the life of Scott Scurlock, better known as the Hollywood Bandit. Born to a preacher father and special education teacher mother, Scott's early years gave no hint of the dark, adrenaline-fueled, and ultimately, criminal, path that he would later take. We explore Scurlock’s unconventional lifestyle, including the construction of his iconic treehouse hideout deep in forested Olympia, Washington, and his early involvement in manufacturing drugs. His seemingly addictive thirst for adrenaline led him to assemble a team of unlikely accomplices, execute meticulously planned heists, and evade capture for years—all while amassing an admittedly impressive stack of cash. Discover how Scurlock’s double life blurred the lines between villain and antihero. Follow his progression from manufacturing meth to orchestrating over a dozen daring bank robberies, all from his secluded treehouse fortress in the Washington woods.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, we dive into the shocking 2016 case of Benjamin Jay Barber, one of the first individuals convicted under Oregon’s groundbreaking ‘revenge porn’ legislation House Bill 2596 — a groundbreaking law criminalizing the unlawful dissemination of intimate images. This and other pivotal cases shed light on the darker corners of the internet, the loopholes in privacy laws, and the consequences of weaponizing intimate content. (Just one of the many reasons that we can’t have nice things). Barber, sentenced to a mere six months in jail and five years of probation, became a grim example of how revenge porn devastates victims and exposes the urgent need for stronger protections. While his case may have proved a legal landmark, it also revealed significant gaps in enforcement—raising questions about why perpetrators like Barber often avoid being classified as sex offenders. Why do we still struggle to balance free speech with basic human decency? Caitlyn doesn’t hold back as she critiques the societal norms and legal blind spots that let predators exploit others with impunity. But this isn’t just about one man. In this episode, we also examine the broader cultural and legal implications of cases like Barber's. From the shocking up-skirt photo case at a Target store in Beaverton, Oregon to the broader prevalence of nonconsensual pornography, we explore how systemic failures allow predators to thrive—and what changes are still desperately needed.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode we drive into the Gruesome Crimes of Jake Bird – Tacoma’s Ax-Killer, possibly one of America's most prolific, yet lesser-known, serial killers. Though he was born in Louisiana, he spent much of the short time that he wasn’t incarcerated traveling across the country as a transient laborer, allegedly leaving a bloody trail of unsolved murders. However, it wasn’t until he committed a horrifying double homicide in Tacoma, Washington, that he was finally caught, tried, and ultimately sentenced to death. Jake Bird was arrested in 1947 after murdering Bertha and Beverly Kludt in their Tacoma home, using an axe he found on their property. That might seem like the end of the story but Bird’s reign of terror didn’t stop there—he shockingly confessed to being involved in over 40 additional murders throughout the United States, potentially making him one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history, as well as, a potential suspect in crimes that occurred in numerous states all over the country at the time. This episode also explores the chilling "Jake Bird Hex.” His infamous statement given before the court left many with an eerie sense of unease, particularly once several people connected to his trial met their end in short succession following his sentencing. This narrative is rich in historical detail (and a dash of superstition) and may leave you questioning whether the curse of Jake Bird still lingers today.
