509: Death in Hell's Kitchen

IT'S PRIDE MONTH AND STILL WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE. Ugh. In 2022, a string of unusual deaths of young gay men rocked the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Well "unusual" only if you're not the NYC cops who just assumed that because these men were gay, and that they died of self-inflicted drug overdoses. But thanks to the friends and loved ones of these victims WHO DEMANDED ACTION, the deaths were finally connected and understood for what they were - a serial killing spree. Join us as we track down these POS bad guys who robbed and killed these men LITERALLY TO BUY BOOZED AND SNEAKERS. But then go listen to Lady Gaga or Barbra or Madonna or whatever BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT STEAL OUR JOY!  Find and watch "Death in Hell's Kitchen" on Discovery+ LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

506: Joe Hunter's Mission (from "48 Hours")

When Joanna Hunter died in  her home in 2011, it took the cops less than 30 minutes to rule the death a suicide. Mostly because her husband said that that's what happened. No crime scene was preserved and no investigation was done. The case was closed, but Joanna's family never accepted the suicide ruling. They knew all too well about the years of abuse Joanna had suffered at the hands of her husband and all of the times she tried to leave him. Her brother Joe, who was Joanna's best friend, is on a mission to proved that his sister was murdered AND OH MY GOD SO ARE WE FAM. We are unwell. Join us as we scream our way through this one.
