  • When Wealth Turns Deadly: The Cullen and Priscilla Davis Story-Part One
    Sep 25 2025

    Send us a text

    From the sprawling elite neighborhoods of Fort Worth comes a true crime story so outrageous it seems pulled from a Texas-sized soap opera. The Cullen Davis case represents everything larger-than-life about Texas wealth – oil money, mansions, jealousy, and ultimately, murder.

    When platinum blonde Priscilla met oil heir Cullen Davis at an exclusive country club in 1968, both were married to other people. Their attraction quickly developed into a relationship that embodied 1970s excess. Cullen, from one of the wealthiest families in Texas, constructed a $6 million mansion (worth $43 million today) featuring technology decades ahead of its time – security keypads, video monitoring systems, and luxury amenities that made it the most enviable address in Fort Worth.

    The couple's relationship was as extravagant as their home – silver fox bedspreads, private jets, European shopping sprees, and wild parties that attracted the elite while shocking more conservative Texas society. But beneath the glossy exterior lurked darkness. Cullen, a man unaccustomed to hearing "no," demonstrated disturbing violence, once punching Priscilla's teenage daughter during an argument and killing her kitten in a fit of rage.

    When their divorce proceedings began in 1974, the judge shocked everyone by awarding Priscilla temporary residence in the mansion Cullen had built. This decision set in motion events that would culminate in a night of horror. On August 2, 1976, hours after a judge increased Priscilla's spousal support, she and her boyfriend Stan Farr returned home to find a figure in a black wig who opened fire. Stan was killed, Priscilla was wounded, her daughter Andrea was executed, and another man was paralyzed.

    Two witnesses identified the shooter as Cullen Davis, setting the stage for what would become one of the most sensational murder trials in American history, with the wealthiest man ever charged with murder fighting for his freedom against compelling evidence and eyewitness testimony.

    Join us as we unravel this twisted tale of Texas high society gone terribly wrong – a story that continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts nearly five decades later and reminds us that sometimes the most dangerous predators are those hiding in plain sight behind wealth and privilege.

  • Murder Without Reason: The Sasha Krause Tragedy
    Sep 12 2025

    Send us a text

    A young woman's devotion to faith leads her to a Mennonite community in Farmington, New Mexico, where she thrives writing church music and working for a religious publication. Her peaceful life comes to an abrupt end one January evening when she disappears while retrieving materials from her church. What unfolds next reveals the dark intersection of technology, hatred, and random violence.

    Sasha Krause was known for her beautiful writing, linguistic talents, and dedication to her faith. Originally from Texas, she had found purpose working at the Lamp and Light publication in the Mennonite community. When her roommates realized she hadn't returned home one night, they found her car still at the church but her purse at home—only her cell phone was missing. The tight-knit religious community immediately mobilized to find her, but their search would end in heartbreak.

    The discovery of Sasha's body in an Arizona national park a month later created more questions than answers. Why would anyone target a member of a pacifist religious community? How did she end up hundreds of miles from where she disappeared? With no obvious suspects, investigators made an extraordinary decision to subpoena cell phone data from all networks, searching for any device that had traveled the same path as Sasha's phone.

    This digital breadcrumb trail led them to Mark Gooch, an Air Force airman with a disturbing secret—he harbored an inexplicable hatred toward Mennonites despite being raised in the faith himself. Text messages revealed he had been "surveilling" communities before driving seven hours to commit his crime. The randomness of his selection of Sasha as a victim makes this case all the more chilling—she was simply in the wrong place when his hatred found its target.

    Through forensic evidence, digital detective work, and the killer's own mistakes, justice was eventually served with a life sentence. Yet nothing can erase the tragedy of a brilliant, kind woman whose life was cut short by senseless hatred. Join us as we examine how modern technology both facilitated a heinous crime and ultimately brought its perpetrator to justice.

  • Twenty Years of Questions: The Jennifer Kesse Mystery
    Aug 20 2025

    Send us a text

    When 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse failed to show up for work on January 24, 2006, her colleagues knew something was terribly wrong. The finance graduate had just bought her first condo in a gated Orlando community – chosen specifically because Jennifer was exceptionally safety-conscious. What happened between 10 PM the night before and 8 AM that morning has remained one of Florida's most baffling mysteries for nearly two decades.

    The clues left behind paint a perplexing picture. A damp towel in the bathroom. Clothes laid out for work. Two cell phones with SIM cards mysteriously removed. And most crucially, her car found abandoned at a nearby apartment complex with security footage capturing a grainy image of someone parking it and walking away. An eyewitness reported seeing her car leaving her condo complex "driving erratically, as if two people were fighting over the steering wheel."

    Jennifer's disappearance occurred while her condo complex was under construction, with numerous undocumented workers on site who reportedly "scattered like flies" once police began investigating. She had previously mentioned to her parents that some workers made her uncomfortable with their staring and occasional cat-calling – complaints other women in the complex had also made. Was this relevant to her disappearance, or merely a coincidence?

    Hope for resolution has recently emerged with Florida law enforcement announcing they have "several persons of interest" and are testing DNA evidence that may finally provide answers. After twenty years, could modern forensic technology finally reveal what happened to Jennifer Kesse that January morning? Join us as we examine the evidence, explore the theories, and discuss why this case continues to haunt investigators two decades later.
