What's that saying about the best laid plans? Well, ours were derailed this week and unfortunately we were not able to record an episode. But with Mogab's recent visit to the Masters tournament, we thought it was a good time to drop our episode, originally a mini creep over on our Patreon, about that time #1 golfer in the world Scottie Scheffler was arrested at the PGA championship.

Dr. Amie Harwick was a well known therapist in Los Angeles with a full life and a wide circle of friends, but on Valentine's Day 2020, that life was cut short in a shocking attack at her home.

But as they dug deeper, a clearer picture started to form - one that pointed to a history that couldn’t be ignored and a situation that may have been building for much longer than anyone realized.

After her death, one doctor refuses to let the case go. What he uncovers transforms a so-called “mysterious illness” into something far more sinister—and far more intentional. As investigators begin piecing things together, a chilling pattern emerges, pointing toward someone who was there all along. But in a case built almost entirely on circumstantial evidence, proving it won’t be easy. Because when there’s no direct proof, the question becomes: is it enough to convince a jury… and expose a killer? Sponsors: Quince – Go to ⁠quince.com/creepers⁠ for free shipping and 365-day returns!

When 40-year-old Esther Castellani begins experiencing strange and worsening symptoms, doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong. What starts as stomach pain quickly turns into something far more serious—numbness, vomiting, and a steady, terrifying decline that no one can explain. As Esther fights to get better, her husband, Rene Castellani, plays the role of devoted partner… but behind the scenes, his life is moving in a very different direction. With rumors swirling and Esther’s condition growing more dire by the day, the truth is quietly taking shape—hidden beneath something as simple, and as unsuspecting, as a drink.

On Mother’s Day 2020, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew went out for a bike ride near her home in Salida, Colorado… and never came back. At first, it looked like a tragic accident, maybe even a mountain lion attack. But the deeper investigators dug, the stranger things became. A missing phone. A staged scene. A husband with a story that kept shifting. And digital evidence that told a very different version of events. Then came the secrets: an affair no one saw coming, a hidden recording device, and a timeline that unraveled everything. For years, the case seemed to stall, raising more questions than answers… until a bombshell development no one saw coming changed everything.

In 1976, 20-year-old Tulane student Ken Gutzeit was stabbed to death in front of dozens of witnesses outside his fraternity house. His killer was arrested, and then... nothing happened. No trial. No conviction. No justice. Ken’s case has been largely forgotten, it's mentioned only briefly in Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever as the event that allegedly changed Jamison Bachman’s life. But the real story is far more disturbing. How does someone commit a public killing with eyewitnesses and a weapon — and walk free?

Originally released on our Patreon in January of 2022. In the summer of 2000, a drug debt set off a chain of events that no one could take back. Ben Markowitz owed money to a local dealer named Jesse James Hollywood. Jesse believed Ben was blowing him off, and what started as frustration quickly turned into something more volatile. Jesse wanted control. He wanted leverage. Then he saw it. While driving around with friends, Jesse spotted Ben’s 15 year old brother Nick walking alone. Jesse told the driver to pull over and they grabbed Nick, forced into the van, and drove away. Instead of being hurt, Nick was taken to Santa Barbara and absorbed into Jesse’s circle. For nearly three days, they partied. Nick was given drugs and alcohol. The atmosphere felt temporary, almost casual. Everyone believed Nick would eventually be taken home. That this was nothing more than a scare tactic. They were wrong.

He was charming, successful, attentive... and seemed almost too good to be true. And for a lot of women across the country, that’s exactly what he was. What started as an online romance quickly turned into whirlwind relationships filled with luxury hotels, expensive dinners, big promises, and a man who always seemed to swoop in at just the right moment. But behind the tailored suits, military uniforms, and impressive résumés was something far darker. As cracks began to form, women started asking the same question: Who is this man, really? What they uncovered was a shocking pattern of deception, stolen identities, and financial devastation—often carried out when his victims were at their most vulnerable. In this episode, we follow the trail of lies, the red flags that were easy to miss in real time, and the women who eventually connected the dots. It’s a story about trust, manipulation, and how one “perfect man” managed to vanish again and again—until he couldn’t anymore.
