16: Ashes of Betrayal & a Vagabond Criminal

This week, Kailee opens with the real-life story of Holley Lynn James, a young Army nurse whose sudden disappearance in 2008 sent shockwaves through her community. What began as a simple missed shift quickly unraveled into a disturbing investigation involving a burned apartment, hidden motives, and a tragic truth that pointed back to someone close to her. Kailee traces the emotional and investigative journey that followed, highlighting both Holley’s dedication to her work and the betrayal at the center of her case. Michael then shifts gears with the almost unbelievable exploits of Victor Lustig, the infamous con artist best known for “selling” the Eiffel Tower. With charm, audacity, and meticulous planning, Lustig pulled off some of the boldest scams of the early 20th century — leaving behind a legend that still feels surreal today.

13: Freak Fridays & A Pizza Planchette

It’s episode 13! Join us as Kailee explores the origins of this long-standing superstition and how it shows up in today’s world — from the bible to buildings that skip the 13th floor, and even some stories of people having a not-so-great Friday the 13th. Meanwhile, Michael takes us back to the 1950s game show scandal that shocked America — the Twenty-One controversy. He unpacks how producers rigged the show, the fallout that changed television forever, and what it revealed about fame, greed, and trust in the media. Tune in for a blend of history, scandal, and a little superstition — it’s an episode you won’t want to skip (even if it’s number 13).
