**Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses stalking, domestic violence, and intimate partner homicide.** As January marks Stalking Awareness Month, Kat introduces us to Dominique “Nique” Leili - a devoted moom navigating a troubled marriage—& a victim of escalating control & surveillance that ultimately turned deadly.   In 2011, Dominique disappeared in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Months later, her remains were discovered in a wooded area, and suspicion quickly focused on her husband, Matthew Leili. What followed was a deeply unsettling case marked by recorded jailhouse phone calls, conflicting accounts from their daughters, years of legal appeals, and a defense that framed Dominique’s murder as a mystery—despite substantial evidence presented at trial.  In this episode, Kat takes us through the case & reminds us all that stalking is not a “lesser” offense. It is a documented predictor of intimate partner homicide.  This is the hill Kat will die on, y'all! Grab a drink and join us as we explore the darker side of humanity - with beer!

In this week's episode, Ashley discusses the abduction and murder of Amber Hagerman, a 9 year old child from Arlington, TX in 1996. Her case led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system as well as the national sex offenders registry list amongst many other positive law changes involving how we treat child abductions. We discuss some of the laws plus international variations of the AMBER alert system.  Amber's case is considered a cold case. If you have any information please contact the Arlington Police Department or Crime Stopper's anonymous hotline.

 In 1957, a missing-person call in small-town Wisconsin led police to a farmhouse that would redefine horror forever. What they found inside Ed Gein’s home shocked the nation — and inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Kat takes you deep into the chilling true story behind “The Butcher of Plainfield” — a quiet, lonely man whose obsession with his mother and the dead blurred the line between grief and madness.  References: “Ed Gein.” Wikipedia –  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein“Ed Gein.” Britannica – biographical overview and case summary. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ed-Gein“Real-Life Psycho Ed Gein Dies.” History.com ( https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/july-26/real-life-psycho-ed-gein-diesCrime + Investigation Network (UK). “Ed Gein – The Butcher of Plainfield.” https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/ed-geinA&E / Biography. “Ed Gein’s Childhood: The Butcher of Plainfield Fixated on His Domineering Mother.” https://www.aetv.com/articles/ed-geins-childhood-the-butcher-of-plainfield-fixated-on-his-domineering-motherTIME Magazine. “Portrait of America’s Original Psycho Killer.  https://time.com/3879490/ed-gein-portrait-of-americas-original-psycho-killerLawyer Monthly. “Ed Gein Timeline – True Story, Crimes, Trial & Legal Legacy.” https://www.lawyer-monthly.com/2025/10/ed-gein-timeline-true-story-crimes-trial-legal-legacyHarold Schechter.

When beloved Florida State law professor Dan Markel was gunned down in his driveway in 2014, it shocked the academic world and ignited a years-long search for justice. But what first appeared to be a random act of violence soon unraveled into something far more sinister—a murder-for-hire plot tied to his bitter custody battle and his ex-wife’s powerful family, the Adelsons. In this episode, Kat dives deep into the tangled web of suspects, shady phone calls, and suspicious payments that ultimately led to a courtroom showdown no one saw coming. Who ordered the hit? How far would a family go to “solve” a custody dispute? And will everyone involved ever be held accountable? This is a story of privilege, power, and premeditation. Get ready for a wild ride, y'all!
