45m · Published 23 Jul 23:00
On February 1st, 1966, hundreds of spectators lined up outside the Dade County Courthouse in Miami Florida, hoping to gain admission to a murder trial that had taken the area by storm.

The courtroom was filled to maximum capacity, mostly women, eager to catch a glimpse of one of the accused Candace Mossler, a socialite and wealthy heiress taking center stage in a trial so salacious, people under the age of 21 were barred from entering the courtroom.

Episode 171 - The Grudge - The Abduction Of Sasha Krause

44m · Published 09 Jul 23:00
27-year-old Sasha Krause had her whole life ahead of her. She’d already made her parents incredibly proud of the young woman she’d become and they were eager to see how her life would unfold after moving away from home.

And although Sasha was living in an entirely different state, her parents felt their daughter was safe, living in a peaceful community of Mennonites.

There was no way Sasha’s family, the community she was living in, or for Sasha herself to know, a predator was on the lookout, for someone just like her.

Episode 170 - Unlikely Assassins - The Case Of Ellen Friar

52m · Published 02 Jul 23:00
It was a cool fall morning in Medford, Oregon when police picked up three young runaways by the side of the road.

19-year-old Gavin MacFarlane, a high school dropout, his girlfriend, 15-year-old Ellen Friar, and their mutual friend 22-year-old, Russell Pierce Jones II, a young man with a criminal record and a history of mental illness.

From the back of the police cruiser, Russell made cryptic comments about being the couple’s “protector.” Ellen and Gavin claimed they’d run away because Ellen’s parents disapproved of their age difference; back at home, Ellen’s younger sisters had a very different story to tell.

Listen Now: Suspect "Five Shots in the Dark"

6m · Published 26 Jun 17:48
Leon Benson spent more than half of his life, a total of 24 years, in an Indiana state prison for a murder he didn't commit. Despite the lack of physical evidence and a questionable eyewitness identification, he was convicted. But new realities start to come to light when attorney Lara Bazelon takes up his case and is determined to secure Benson's release. Season three of Suspect, co-produced by Campside Media and Wondery, delves into the flaws in the criminal justice system that led to Benson's wrongful conviction for the 1998 shooting of Kasey Schoen in Indianapolis. The investigation aims to uncover the truth about who really committed the crime and why the eyewitness testimony that led to Benson's conviction was so shaky. Host Matthew Shaer joins co-producer and writer Bazelon to take a deep dive into the nature of memory and how it can be fallible and result in an innocent man's life being wasted, while the real perpetrator remains unpunished. As the investigation unfolds, will Bazelon and her team gather enough evidence to free Benson? And what will happen to Schoen’s real killer?

Episode 168 - Gumshoe. Hitman. Fraudster. Spy. - The Disappearance Of Rick Post

51m · Published 18 Jun 23:00
52-year-old Rick Post was bound to a chair, inside the shower stall of an abandoned house. His mouth was duct-taped shut. Even if he could scream, no one would hear him.

His abductors paced back and forth flashing their instruments of torture. He’d been in this Tijuana dungeon for five days, subjected to relentless rounds of violent beatings. They’d also done a number on his fingers with a set of pliers.

You’ll hear about jealousy, vengeance, tainted love, and paranoia. A story that veers wildly to the edge of believability.....and then some.
