The Defense Was Right? (Russell Faria - Ep.5)

The Defense Was Right? (Russell Faria - Ep.5)

In this episode, Maryn walks Christie through everything that happened after Russ Faria's guilty verdict in 2013 — and Christie's reaction says it all. A second trial, a surprise DVD of 132 missing photos, a life insurance policy no jury was ever allowed to hear about, and a series of increasingly suspicious stories from someone who was never even charged. If you thought the first trial was frustrating, buckle up. **Though not explicit, this podcast explores mature themes. Listener discretion is advised.**

Naked Truth or Fabrication? (Russell Faria - Ep. 4)

In episode 4 of the Faria case, the defense finally gets their turn — and they've got a firefighter, four alibis, a Jack in the Box receipt, and a very suspicious ringtone. Christie and Maryn break down the witness parade in the Russ Faria case, where the real question isn't just what happened to Betsy — it's whether six people watching Conan the Barbarian can save a man's life. And then there's the state's closing argument, where they introduce their boldest theory yet: Russ Faria carried out a near-perfect murder — and only slipped up because of his slippers. Christie and Maryn have thoughts. Many thoughts.

Three Hours of Silence (Russell Faria - Ep.3)

In Part 3 of the Russ Faria case, Christie digs into Russ’s own words from a grueling 12-hour police interview — a suspicious string of gas station stops, bloody slippers, and a phone that went quiet for three hours. Russ says he was at game night. The detective says his alibi checks out — mostly. So why do they keep asking questions? Plus: what was Betsy’s good news, and why did Russ call the insurance company four days after her death? The state rests. But the questions are just getting started.

It's Always the Husband (Russell Faria - Ep.2)

Maryn and Christie break down Russ Faria's haunting 911 call, then walk through the first responders and forensic experts who took the stand — including a medic who immediately called it homicide, suspicious bloody slippers with no matching footprints, and a "paw print" that may or may not be blood. The evidence is piling up. But is it pointing at the right person?

56 Reasons It Wasn't Suicide (Russell Faria - Ep.1)

In Part 1 of the Russ Faria case, Christie introduces Missouri v. Russ Faria — a man charged with the 2011 first-degree murder of his wife Betsy, found dead in their home in what the state says was a staged suicide. The prosecution points to brutal injuries, a contested alibi, marital turmoil, terminal cancer, and a life insurance policy. The defense says the evidence tells a different story. Christie and Maryn dig into early testimony from Betsy’s family and friends — painting a picture of a marriage, a night, and a crime scene that raises more questions than answers.
