Alex Murdaugh's Defense Says Maggie Wasn't the Last Person to Hold THIS

Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s reported prison words about Ken Urker have resurfaced after his death, while a separate online campaign is challenging the accepted story of Dee Dee Blanchard’s treatment of her daughter.Recordings reported to be from prison calls in 2020 and 2021 capture Gypsy discussing Ken with Ryan Anderson and saying she had told Ken she hoped he would overdose. Ken died at his Raceland, Louisiana home on October 1, 2026, his thirty-fourth birthday. According to the sheriff’s incident report, deputies found syringes, a spoon near a brown powdery substance, another syringe and a holstered handgun. Authorities said there were no signs of foul play, and an official cause of death had not been announced when the report became public.The episode also examines the growing claim that Dee Dee was wrongly portrayed as a mother who fabricated Gypsy’s illnesses. Gypsy has a documented chromosome 1q21.1 deletion, which can produce a wide range of symptoms. That diagnosis does not erase the separate medical record surrounding Dee Dee’s claims. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Bernardo Flasterstein documented a strong possibility of Munchausen by proxy after evaluating Gypsy and questioning the history he was given.Dee Dee’s own family adds another piece that is difficult to square with the online rehabilitation campaign. Her father, Claude Pitre, said in Mommy Dead and Dearest that nobody wanted Dee Dee’s cremated remains and that he told the family to flush the ashes down the toilet.Tony Brueski and Bob Motta separate the documented record from the claims now circulating around Gypsy, Dee Dee and Ken — including the facts investigators still have not resolved.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sandra Birchmore’s family was told her death was self-inflicted. Years later, Matthew Farwell faced federal charges accusing him of killing her and staging the scene. A federal prosecution filing says a state lab found male DNA on the strap in 2021, but officers did not collect Farwell’s sample for comparison. State Police investigator Matthew Dunne testified about interviewing Farwell without making a recording or taking notes. The jury also heard FBI Agent Heidi Kelsch read private text exchanges between Farwell and Birchmore. Prosecutors say the messages show contact dating back to her teenage years. The defense says Sandra died by suicide and disputes the government’s interpretation. Tony Brueski examines why the gaps in the early inquiry matter and what the jury must decide. Farwell has pleaded not guilty.In testimony, Dunne said the unrecorded interview strategy was meant to keep Farwell talking. That choice gave investigators an account, but it left no audio record for jurors to hear. Prosecutors contrast those limits with the thousands of messages later recovered. A court still has to decide what those messages prove about the charged conduct.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Leo Hengstler drove the ambulance that responded to the Brookfield Boarding Kennels on February 16, 1981. He testified to something that appears in no book, no movie, and no dramatization of this case. He heard Debbie Glatzel tell her father while Alan Bono lay dying: "You know how he gets when he's been drinking." Not possessed. Drinking. Debbie had counted five blackout episodes in the months after Arne challenged the demon. She said each one looked exactly like David's. The Washington Post described a different Arne Johnson — quick to anger, possessive, a man who ripped a stuffed animal apart with his knife. He'd carried that folding knife since he was a kid. On a holiday afternoon, Bono drank red wine for hours and grabbed a 9-year-old girl. Arne told him to let go. Bono was dead on his own lawn.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two of the biggest cases on the docket share a question about the police, and Eric Faddis joins me to work through both Sandra Birchmore and Alex Murdaugh.The FBI says a Stoughton police employee told Matthew Farwell about a friend's call reporting his relationship with Sandra, 12 days before she died. A dispatcher testified he carried that call to Farwell's office. Prosecutors say Farwell's DNA was on the strap found with her body.In South Carolina, Murdaugh's defense says prosecutors suggested a police officer who was his friend arrived at Moselle before other officers and could have helped hide the guns and clothes. The state cites grand jury secrecy and won't confirm anything.We also cover Chief Donna McNamara's lawsuit and the DNA under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. Eric tells me which case the police connection matters more in.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every year the Assemblies of God sends licensed ministers a form asking whether they've upheld the moral code. Timmy Gibson says not one pastor he personally knew answered honestly. On Homicide Happy Hour, Gibson explained the system. If you told the truth, you lost your license and your livelihood. One friend admitted to marijuana and was removed from ministry immediately. Gibson says JP Miller's church was built on top of that structure. Miller set things up so no one could override him. Miller faces cyberstalking and false statements charges federally. He has pleaded not guilty. He is not charged in Mica Miller's death. Tony asked about Suzie Skinner, Miller's current wife, whose previous husband was paraplegic and died under circumstances both hosts called mysterious. Gibson says Skinner is being told not to listen to outside voices, classic cult isolation.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alex Murdaugh's lawyers asked for one thing the state didn't want to give them, and on October 16 Judge Debra McCaslin gave it to them anyway. Eric Faddis joins me to weigh the ruling.The defense gets its own testing on unknown male DNA from Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and her phone. Prosecutors warned the tests could exhaust the samples. Murdaugh's team says the state withheld evidence and wants to know whether that DNA belongs to someone else who was at Moselle.The same hearing ended Dick Harpootlian's polygraph talking point. The judge said Murdaugh failed a test about hiding financial records.The missing guns are the next fight. The defense wants to know if a grand jury is looking at a police officer friend of Murdaugh's, and prosecutors won't say. Eric explains why that matters for April.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Glatzel was 11 years old when he described visions of Arne Johnson killing someone. Months before anyone died. Before February 16, 1981, when Johnson stabbed Alan Bono on the lawn of a Brookfield, Connecticut boarding kennel — the first homicide in the town's 193-year history. His brother Carl was in the room the day it allegedly started. Carl saw nothing. Their parents divided — their mother believed, their father slapped David during an episode and he stopped immediately. Ed and Lorraine Warren arrived and told the family to start recording. Those cassette tapes survived more than 40 years. On them, an 11-year-old's voice is deep, guttural, screaming profanities at his mother. The Church sent priests but refused the formal exorcism. Then Arne Johnson challenged the entity to take him instead. David improved. Arne started blacking out.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna McNamara ordered the 2021 investigation that found three Stoughton officers had inappropriate relationships with Sandra Birchmore. Now McNamara is the one on leave, and Eric Faddis joins me to ask how.Her lawsuit says that on July 7, Town Manager Thomas Calter called her in, gave her a choice to resign or be fired, and barred her from headquarters. Calter says she was put on leave over a complaint and never got an ultimatum. Her suit says his office named an acting chief within 48 hours of her harassment complaint against him.At the center of the fight is a second Birchmore report from 2024. Calter has said it examined how the department handled one specific phone call. McNamara says he wanted it destroyed. He denies that.Eric explains why that one call matters to the federal case against Matthew Farwell.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sarah Sproul had an affair with Matthew Farwell while she was friends with his wife. She testified that at parties, with his wife in the room, he'd come around a corner to kiss her. He never wore a mask or told her to delete a text. Two more women said the same, after the defense had told the jury that the mask Farwell wore into Sandra Birchmore's building was what people having affairs do.Prosecutors say the secret with Sandra was more than an affair. The father of her baby, Jason Pickard, testified under immunity that she told him it began when she was 13 or 14. Her friend Sarah Odams testified Sandra said Farwell grabbed her phone, screamed in her face, and told her he hoped she'd die or kill herself. Odams's last message to Sandra, at 9:37 on the night of February 1, 2021, was never answered.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For more than three years, the official word was that Sandra Birchmore took her own life. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to go through the five strongest signs, all from sworn testimony, that the people investigating her death protected one of their own.The parking lot comes first. Trooper Matthew Dunne testified he and his sergeant interviewed Farwell outside an elementary school. Then the phone. Examiner Nicholas Guarino testified Sandra's laptop password was built from Farwell's name, and that he still handed Farwell's phone back after finding no messages.The FBI says a Stoughton employee told Farwell about a friend's call reporting the relationship 12 days before Sandra died.And the top of the department says it saw Farwell's lobby video when the public did. Eric tells me what a jury hears in all of that.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
