Ep. 164 Burglary - The Bling Ring - Crime Defined Series
2026/02/04
Crime Defined is a series where we break down the law, one crime at a time. Each episode, we start by explaining exactly what a specific crime is — what makes it illegal, how it’s defined under the law, and the consequences for those who commit it. Then, we dive into a real-life case, exploring someone who actually committed that crime, the investigation, and the impact of their actions. Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most infamous celebrity crime sprees of the 2000s: the Bling Ring. What started as a group of bored teenagers in Los Angeles turned into a years-long burglary spree targeting some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Orlando Bloom.
We’ll break down how they chose their victims, how they kept getting away with it, and what finally led to their downfall. This is a story about fame, entitlement, and how shockingly easy it was to rob the rich and famous.

Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.
In this episode, we break down the crime of bribery, what it means, how it’s prosecuted, and why it remains one of the most persistent forms of corruption. Then, we connect the law to the real world by examining Operation Varsity Blues, the massive college admissions scandal that exposed a network of wealthy parents, coaches, and consultants using bribes to secure admission for their children.
We explore how the scheme worked, who was involved, the legal fallout, and what the case reveals about privilege, access, and accountability in the U.S. education system.
If you’re interested in how bribery shows up beyond the headlines, this episode offers a clear, accessible look at both the law and one of its most talked-about cases.

2025/07/15
It wasn't a phase, mom will go over the life and crimes of teens and young adults
On March 5, 2001, a typical Monday morning at Santana High School in Santee, California, turned into a nightmare. Fifteen-year-old Charles Andrew Williams walked into a school bathroom with a stolen revolver and opened fire—killing two students and injuring thirteen others.
In this episode, we dive deep into the events leading up to the shooting: the red flags, the isolation, and the systems that failed him and everyone around him. We’ll look at the life of Andy Williams—what he endured, what he said, and the chilling warnings that went ignored. We'll also examine the aftermath, the trial, and the long-term impact on the school, the survivors, and the community.
This case is a haunting reminder of what can happen when cries for help are dismissed as “just a phase.”
Listener discretion is advised.

Ep. 152 Richard Grissom Jr. - It Wasn't a Phase, Mom Series
2025/06/10
It wasn't a phase, mom will go over the life and crimes of teens and young adults
In this week’s episode of Murder Bucket, we continue our "It Wasn’t a Phase, Mom" series with the chilling case of Richard Grissom Jr. — a seemingly charismatic and well-mannered young man whose charm masked a sinister pattern. In the summer of 1989, three young women went missing in Johnson County, Kansas. Though Grissom was quickly identified as the prime suspect, their bodies were never found — and his calculated, cold demeanor during the investigation still haunts those who worked the case.
Join us as we uncover how a troubled past, a mask of normalcy, and terrifying precision made Richard Grissom Jr. one of the most disturbing killers you've probably never heard of.

2025 Murder Bucket Trailer
2025/05/07
Welcome to Murder Bucket — the podcast that dives headfirst into the dark, the twisted, and the completely unexplained.
I’m your host Hannah, and every other Tuesday, we pull a new case from the bucket — from cold-blooded murders and chilling kidnappings… to unsolved mysteries, strange disappearances, and the paranormal stories that keep you up at night.
Some cases are well-known. Others… you've probably never heard of. But each one will leave you questioning just how far the human mind can go — and how deep darkness can run.
We don’t sensationalize. We don’t hold back. Just straight-up storytelling, research, and the facts that matter.
So if you’re into true crime, the supernatural, and the stories that stick with you long after the episode ends… this is your kind of show.
