  • The Seth Rich Conspiracy: Murder, Lies, and the Capital’s Shadow
    Feb 18 2026
    It was a humid July night in Washington, D.C., when 27-year-old DNC staffer Seth Rich was gunned down in the Bloomingdale neighborhood. Police called it a botched robbery, but the internet whispered something far more sinister. Join host Bill Dunlap as he walks the shadowed streets of the capital to unravel one of the most controversial cold cases of the modern era.

    In this episode, we dissect the collision between a tragic street-level homicide and a global firestorm of disinformation. From the murky involvement of WikiLeaks and Russian intelligence to the sensational retraction by Fox News and the family's agonizing legal battles, we separate the noir-drenched facts from the digital fiction. Was Seth Rich a whistleblower silenced by power, or the victim of random urban violence? The truth lies hidden in the noise.

  • Kurt Cobain: The Greenhouse, The Shotgun, and the Evidence Left Behind
    Feb 16 2026
    Was Kurt Cobain’s death really a suicide — or was it staged?

    In April 1994, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead from a shotgun wound in his Seattle home. The official ruling was suicide. But new forensic claims released in 2026 are challenging that conclusion.

    In this True Crime investigation, we examine:
    • The heroin toxicology controversy
    • The missing fingerprints on the shotgun
    • The disputed suicide note analysis
    • Credit card activity after his estimated time of death
    • The latest forensic report claiming the scene may have been staged
    For over 30 years, Kurt Cobain’s death has fueled conspiracy theories, murder allegations, and intense public debate.

    This episode breaks down the documented evidence, the official findings, and the new claims — separating fact from speculation. If you’re searching for answers about Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, the 1994 death investigation, or the suicide vs murder debate, this episode delivers a forensic, documentary-style deep dive.

  • Dark Alliance: The Silencing of Gary Webb & The CIA Connection
    Feb 11 2026
    In this episode of Dark Investigations, Bill Dunlap reopens the file on Gary Webb, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who dared to expose the shadows behind the War on Drugs. In 1996, Webb’s explosive "Dark Alliance" series for the San Jose Mercury News revealed a terrifying nexus between the CIA, Nicaraguan Contras, and the crack cocaine epidemic ravaging Los Angeles.

    But instead of awards, Webb faced a coordinated media assassination and professional exile. We dissect the controversy, the internal betrayal by his own editors, and the disturbing forensic details of his 2004 death—ruled a suicide despite two gunshot wounds to the head. Did the pressure break him, or was he silenced for knowing too much? Join us as we analyze the government reports that quietly vindicated him and the legacy of a man destroyed by the truth.
