Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

What do you get when you mix a YouTube-famous 10-year-old, an overbearing stage mom, and millions of views? You get Piper Rockelle, The Squad, and the chaos of Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing—Netflix’s docuseries that exposes the disturbing reality behind viral childhood fame. In this episode, we’re diving into Episode 1: #Momager, where we meet Tiffany Smith, Piper’s momager-slash-mastermind, who built an influencer empire—and may have shattered a few childhoods along the way. We’re talking: * Pageant moms turned power-hungry content creators * Kids filming until 2 a.m. for “exposure” * Puppet dogs used to emotionally manipulate children (yep, you read that right) * Early signs of toxic control that set the tone for everything that followed If you thought slime videos and prank wars were harmless, think again. 🎧 Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow—and check out our YouTube for more true crime breakdowns that’ll leave you yelling at your phone.

A real-life maritime mystery meets true crime tragedy in this jaw-dropping case that rocked the Northeast. In 2016, Nathan Carman was rescued from a life raft after a supposed boating accident that left his mother, Linda, missing at sea. But behind the headlines of survival was a far more sinister story—a wealthy family, a cold case grandfather’s murder, suspicious inheritance battles, and a twisted trail of lies. From the unsolved 2013 shooting death of Nathan’s grandfather, real estate mogul John Chakalos, to the eerie circumstances surrounding the fishing trip that ended in Linda’s disappearance, this case left investigators—and the public—wondering: Was Nathan Carman the unluckiest man alive… or a calculating killer? We’ll dive deep into the family dynamics, forensic evidence, and courtroom drama—including the insurance fraud, the Slayer Rule petition, and Nathan’s shocking death behind bars before trial.
