Kristine Melton & Diane Ruiz: "Charmed to Death" | MURDERISH Ep. 206

In this episode of Say Yes to the Mess Jami welcomes former cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Katie Ginella. Jami and Katie dive right into an unfiltered discussion about RHOC, and don’t brush over sensitive topics such as racism, homophobia, and bullying. Jami shares her blunt opinions about RHOC cast members and Katie reads a text message from one of her castmates that’s never been shared publicly. If you’re like me and think Katie’s time on the show was cut far too short, you’re going to love this episode. Katie gets personal and shares things she wasn’t able to share on the show because she was forced to miss out on filming for the last half of season 19.

In 2019, two women living in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area were closely linked. Though they had never met, over the course of a single day Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz crossed paths with the same dangerous man. After both women were murdered, the hunt was on to find their killer. It wouldn’t take long for authorities to catch up to 25-year-old Wade Wilson, and it became clear that there would be more victims if he hadn’t been caught.  Subscribe to Jami’s YouTube channel @JamiOnAir: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram and TikTok.

On the afternoon of December 14th, 2025, an eerie, uncharacteristic silence settled over 255 S. Chadbourne Avenue. On most days, the sprawling New England-style farmhouse in Brentwood teemed with life. You never knew who might walk through the front door …Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Betty White, Martin Short. Icons of the entertainment world were drawn there, lured by the home’s storied past and its colorful owners: Rob and Michele Reiner. The first person to pull up to its towering iron gates that day in mid-December was no celebrity, but rather a massage therapist arriving for a 2 p.m. appointment. When no one answered, the masseuse reached out to Romy, the couple’s 27-year-old daughter. Romy arrived just after 3:30 and moved through her childhood home with deliberate steps, that low-level worry turning into a cold, sharp fear. She searched room after room until she finally reached the primary suite. Romy pushed open the heavy doors and screamed at what she saw. There, on the bed she used to sneak into as a child after she had a bad dream, lay her father, the life drawn from his face, the cream-colored sheets stained a deep, unmistakable red. She didn’t know it at the time, but her mother rested only a few feet away mercifully out of Romy’s view.  It didn’t take police long to make an arrest. The suspect came as a surprise to the public but not to those close to the Reiner family.

Valentine’s Day. It’s a time of exaggerated displays of affection, of wining and dining, a chance to reignite the passion that maybe got obscured by parental duties. Cupid’s holiday can serve as a bitter reminder of the single life or be a gentle nudge to appreciate the ones we love. Valentine’s Day usually doesn’t involve reporting someone missing. On February 14th, 2007 Michigan father of two Stephen Grant filed a missing person’s report for his wife Tara. Tara Grant, a successful businesswoman who traveled weekly for work, left their house one night in a dark sedan. She was never seen or heard from again.

In Season 1 Episode 2 of Dirty Money Moves, we explained how Mary Carole’s antics were exposed by Channel 2 News. We also described how Mary Carole managed to get her hands on a few million dollars through a “gifting” program connected to her family trust that she claimed was worth millions. By 2017, Mary Carole’s flagship company, Bellum Entertainment, was crumbling. She owed individuals and institutions millions of dollars. But, in the face of mounting lawsuits and creditors breathing down her neck, Mary Carole didn’t seem to flinch. Instead, she got together with her lawyer friend, Barry Rothman, who had a colorful past and ties to one of Hollywood’s most infamous scandals involving pop icon Michael Jackson. The two of them worked out a plan to get even more cash and this time around, Mary Carole was going BIG. Through lies and false documents, Mary Carole shockingly got her hands on almost $15 million from Banc of California. And by the time Mary Carole likely began enjoying the fruit of her multi million dollar swindle, Barry would drop dead before the FBI could even question him about the bank scam.  Sponsors:  Shopify: Visit shopify.com/murderish to sign up for your $1/month trial.
