We needed a bit of a palette cleanser, so Megan is bringing us back into the world of white-collar crime. However, today’s case is TECHNICALLY legal, it doesn’t make it any less shady. Shrinkflation is when a company makes changes to a product, reducing its value, while keeping the price the same or even increasing the price ever so slightly. This entirely legal practice is yet another way for companies to cut corners at the expense of consumers. BUT we’re here to help you stay informed and know what to look for! 👀🔍

We have another exciting guest episode for you! In episode 65, Mallory covers the Seminole Heights serial killer, who pled guilty to multiple charges related to a series of murders. Ann Brey joins us to talk about how she LITERALLY WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE KILLER 😧😳
Howell Emanuel Donaldson III admitted to killing four people in the Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa, Florida, in 2017. They were Benjamin Edward Mitchell, Monica Carisa’s Hoffa, Anthony Namibia, and Ronald Felton. The victims were targeted randomly, and the murders led to widespread fear in the community. Listen now to learn how a McDonalds salad bag led to his downfall 🍟

In May of 2019, 49-year-old Ronald Greene died after being arrested by Louisiana State Police after a chase. Body camera footage, released YEARS after the incident, shows troopers beating, choking, stunning, and dragging him on the ground while handcuffed. He was left face down on the ground for nine minutes. He died on the way to the hospital.

At least six white troopers were involved in the arrest; five were criminally charged in December 2022. As of January 2025, no officer has served any jail time in connection to Greene’s death. And just last week, federal prosecutors told the family they would not bring ANY charges in his death… citing insufficient evidence.

Ronald Greene was a barber. A cancer survivor. A father. He was beloved by those who knew him. And he deserves justice. Listen along as Megan breaks down what happened.

In September of 1996, 15-year-old Melanie Ethier disappeared while walking home in northern Ontario.

This week’s case is the definition of a buried byline. 12-year-old Nicolas Zavala disappeared in August of 2002 while living with his grandmother in Northwest Indiana. Despite being his temporary guardian, the boy’s grandmother waited a full week before reporting him missing. Eight months later, Nicolas’ remains were found on an Illinois farm. Not only is this case unsolved but it’s received little to no media attention. We have OPINIONS!

At least 21 victims died at the hands of Larry Eyler, who was dubbed the Interstate Killer. Buckle up because this is a long one!

In this powerful guest episode, we dive into a deeply personal story with Lindsey Hull, Mallory’s lifelong best friend, former competitive gymnast, and a survivor of sexual abuse. Lindsey bravely shares her journey, including her decision in 2017 to join the lawsuit against disgraced U.S. Olympic doctor Larry Nassar. But for Lindsey, Larry was more than just a doctor—he was a family friend, a neighbor, and someone she once considered a safe haven from the abusive culture within her gymnastics organization. In this episode, Lindsey opens up about her relationship with Larry, the moment she realized she was a victim of his decades-long manipulation, and her fight for justice against him and his enablers. This one is a DOOZY.
