 In today’s chilling episode of Uncovered, host Brian walks us into the dark and deranged world of one of the most horrifying criminals in American history — David Parker Ray, better known as The Toy Box Killer.

This week on Revisited, Brian and Dani sit down to do what they do best — push each other, question everything, and dig into the case that still haunts anyone who's looked at it twice: the West Memphis Three. Three little boys murdered in 1993. Three teenagers convicted in a rush of fear, moral panic, and bad police work. But two decades later, those convictions unraveled — and now, the lines betw...

You know the story. Or at least, you think you do. The brutal murders of three young boys in West Memphis. The rushed arrest of three teenagers labeled monsters. The media circus. The outrage. The so-called justice. But what if the truth was never as clear as it seemed? In this episode of The Guilty Files: True Crime ReWired , I'm not just retelling the facts you heard in Uncovered — I’m breaking...

In this episode of The Guilty Files Uncovered, Brian steps into dangerous territory — the West Memphis Three. But this isn’t your typical Uncovered case. Here, the facts tell one story, but the deeper truth refuses to stay quiet. In 1993, three young boys — Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers — were found brutally murdered in a muddy ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas. It was a crime...

Welcome back to The Guilty Files: True Crime Revisited—where the case is never closed and the conversation always goes deeper. This week, we’re bringing it all to the table: facts, fiction, and the messy, uncomfortable gray space in between. After Monday’s clinical breakdown of Israel Keyes in Uncovered with Brian, and Wednesday’s psychological spelunking through the shadows of his mind in Rewired...

Welcome back to The Guilty Files: True Crime Rewired, the show where the facts get flipped, the script gets bent, and the shadows whisper their own truths. I’m Dani—your resident chaos theorist and former cop turned armchair psychologist—and tonight, we’re opening the vault on one of the most terrifying minds to ever slip through the cracks of justice: Israel Keyes. Now if you haven’t listened to...

In this episode of Uncovered, Brian takes a deep dive into one of the most chilling and elusive serial killers in American history: Israel Keyes. Unlike most killers, Keyes didn’t fit a mold. He had no consistent victim type, no clear geographical pattern, and no obvious motive—just a methodical obsession with control, secrecy, and chaos. He traveled across the U.S., burying kill kits years in adv...

In this Revisited episode, Brian and Dani come face-to-face with one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history—Aileen Wuornos. Brian returns to the table with the case file: seven murders, a pattern of escalating violence, and a woman on death row who claimed she was fighting for her life. Dani brings his psychological lens back into the mix, raising questions that make the facts a little...

In this episode of Rewired, Dani steps into the mind of one of the most infamous female serial killers in American history—Aileen Wuornos. We’ve all heard the headlines: sex worker, serial killer, executed in 2002. But beneath the label of “monster” lies a complicated history of trauma, survival, and rage. This isn’t a justification. It’s an investigation—into how someone becomes what society fear...

In this Uncovered episode, Brian strips the Aileen Wuornos case down to its raw core. No theories. No dramatics. Just the timeline, the evidence, and the cold, hard facts. He walks you through each murder, each arrest, and each piece of testimony that led to Aileen’s conviction—and ultimately, her execution. From her troubled upbringing to the forensic evidence that nailed her, Brian lays out the...

In this special Revisited episode, Dani and Brian sit down together to take one more long, hard look at the Peterson case—and trust us, there’s still plenty to talk about. They’ve each walked you through The Staircase Murder—Brian with the facts, Dani with the fiction—but now it’s time to compare notes. What still doesn’t add up? What theories do they actually agree on? And what did they each unco...

Welcome back to The Guilty Files: True Crime Rewired. I’m Dani—your host, storyteller, and former Atlanta cop with a love for twisting true crime into new angles. On Monday, Brian gave you the straight facts of the Michael Peterson case—Kathleen’s death, the blood, the conviction, and that infamous staircase. Tonight, I’m taking you deeper, into the “what ifs” that haunt this case. We start with t...

On a quiet night in December 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her Durham, North Carolina home. Her husband, Michael Peterson, said she fell. Prosecutors said she was murdered. What followed was a years-long legal battle and one of the most heavily dissected cases in modern true crime. In this episode of True Crime Uncovered, Brian lays out the facts—step by st...

It started with one child gone missing. Then another. And another. Between 1979 and 1981, Atlanta was gripped by fear as dozens of Black children, teens, and young adults were abducted and murdered.

In True Crime Revisited, co-hosts Brian King-Sharp and Dani come together to break down The Atlanta Child Murders—examining what we know, what we think we know, and what still doesn’t sit right. This isn’t about reaching for shock value. It’s about asking the hard questions: Did the arrest of Wayne Williams really close the...

Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 young men and boys—crimes marked by brutality, manipulation, and chilling intent. But what made him one of the most infamous serial killers in modern history wasn’t just what he did. It was how long he got away with it.

He was a local contractor. A community volunteer. He dressed as a clown for children’s parties. And all the while, John Wayne Gacy was hiding something unthinkable beneath his home. In this episode of True Crime Uncovered, Brian opens the case file on one of the most notorious serial killers in U.S. history. Between 1972 and 1978, Gacy murdered 33 young men and boys—and for years, no one suspected...

John Wayne Gacy wasn’t a shadowy figure hiding in plain sight—he was front and center. A man people trusted. Smiled at. Hired. And somehow, even as boys kept disappearing, no one thought to look closer—until it was too late. In this Rewired episode, Dani reapproaches the case from the ground level—bringing you into the lives of those who were affected, and the moments that slipped past unnoticed....

We’ve laid out the timeline. We’ve stepped into the story. Now, it’s time to talk about what really happened—and why it was allowed to go on for so long. In this final episode on John Wayne Gacy, Brian and Dani sit down to unpack the case from every angle. What were the warning signs? Why weren’t they taken seriously? And how did someone like Gacy, with a criminal record and a growing number of re...
