Dr. Michael Swango, also known as Dr. Death, had his residency rescinded after his internship at Ohio State due to patients dying under his care while he was working in an ambulance, and due to his falsification of internship documents. His faculty and peers expressed their concerns, and yet, nobody alerted police or other medical institutions. After working as an EMT for an Illinois ambulance service, several of his colleagues fell ill after consuming food he brought in, or coffee he prepared. Dr. Death was arrested for arsenic poisoning and served five years, but he was still able to work as a resident in New York and Zimbabwe following these incidences. After his rotation at the VA in New York, Special Agent Bruce Sackman set his sights on Swango, leading to his capture. Next week, be sure to listen to my interview with retired Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, Criminal Investigation division, Bruce Sackman regarding Dr. Death, as well as several other medical serial killers he has investigated and brought to justice. Bruce is truly a pioneer in investigating medical serial killers, and the investigation and arrest of Michael Swango is just one of many cases Bruce has handled.

This week, I spoke with Chad Huber, a TikToker known for his viral series "Catfishing the Catfish." In this series, he turns the tables on romance scammers in a hilarious game of digital cat and mouse. Chad not only exposes scammers, but he also provides valuable insights into their deceptive practices, as well as education for the general public on how to protect themselves from scammers. If you paid a romance scammer with a gift card, wire transfer, credit or debit card, or cryptocurrency, contact the company or your bank right away. Tell them you paid a scammer and ask them to refund your money. If you think it’s a scam, report it to the FTC at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/. Notify the social networking site or app where you met the scammer, too. DON'T GIVE RANDOS MONEY, especially in this economy!

In January of 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers began their expedition across the Northern Ural Mountains in The Soviet Union. Their goal was to reach Otorten Mountain, a place whose name ominously translates to "don't go there." After harsh weather conditions forced the group to establish camp on the open mountain slope, they were never heard from again. Eventually, the bodies of the nine hikers were discovered under strange circumstances.

RIP Nathan Deslippe As Domestic Violence Awareness month winds down, I had a special guest on the show. In 2016, Ashley Michelle’s on-and-off again partner, William Joles, brutally murdered his best friend, Nathan Deslippes. William then lured Ashley to the apartment, where he assaulted her, attempted to strangle her, and forced her to clean up the scene. Ashley escaped, but the trauma endured… However, Ashley has been able to use her experiences to help others in need, and has recently written a book titled, “Finding Strength Through Tragedy.”

We are angry. We demand justice. Say his name. ALEX VANDALSEN. What happened to Alex VanDalsen? Alex went missing on the night of February 3rd, 2021. On February 4th, after realizing he was gone, and not at his girlfriend's (which he normally was), his mother Jennifer called 911. It isn't until the 9th... let me repeat that, THE 9TH, that Alex was found. Alex's death was ruled as a suicide, in spite of all of the evidence pointing to homicide. I implore you to dig deep, and ask yourself, "do I really think this is a suicide?" I don't. After Jennifer's petition to have Alex's case re-opened was denied this month, myself, along with four other podcasters who covered Alex's case decided to have a round table discussion in the hopes of bringing more attention to this case. Alex was murdered, and Alex deserves justice.
