  • Is Scott Peterson Innocent?: Latest Documentary Presents New Bombshell Claims

    Is Scott Peterson Innocent?: Latest Documentary Presents New Bombshell Claims
    Jul 15 2026
    On December 24, 2002, 27-year-old Laci Peterson disappeared, seemingly without a trace. The story of the missing woman from Modesto, California, who was eight months pregnant with her first child, captured the attention of the entire nation. Investigators were suspicious of her husband almost immediately. Scrutiny from both the media and public heightened after it was revealed that not only was Scott having an affair in the weeks before his wife went missing, but he continued that relationship in the days immediately following her disappearance. In April 2003, the bodies of Laci and her unborn son, Conner, were found in the San Francisco Bay, and days later, Scott was arrested. A jury ultimately found him guilty of both murders, but for over two decades, he maintained his innocence. The Los Angeles Innocence Project recently took on Scott's case. The group pushed for a new trial, claiming they had new evidence, but in April, a California judge rejected Peterson’s latest bid for freedom. Attorney and legal analyst Chris Pixley investigated the Los Angeles Innocence Project’s claims for the new documentary, “Scott Peterson: The New Evidence,” and joined “Forbes True Crime” to discuss what he found.

  • Insiders Talk 'The Real Wolf Of Wall Street': Movie Only Showed A 'Mild Version' Of The True Story

    Insiders Talk 'The Real Wolf Of Wall Street': Movie Only Showed A 'Mild Version' Of The True Story
    Jul 14 2026
    In 1991, a Forbes magazine article described Jordan Belfort as a “twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers,” and said Stratton Oakmont, the brokerage firm that he founded, specialized in “pushing dicey stocks on gullible investors.” A handful of years after that article was published, he was charged with money laundering and orchestrating a pump-and-dump scheme. He chronicled his wild days at Stratton in a memoir, and his story got the Hollywood treatment. Directed by Martin Scorsese, “The Wolf of Wall Street” grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, racked up five Oscar nominations, and starred actor Leonardo DiCaprio. But people close to Belfort—both personally and professionally—say the movie and book don't tell the whole story. Howie Gelfand, an ex-Stratton Oakmont employee, and Ross Portenoy, a former close friend of Belfort, join “Forbes True Crime” to discuss their stories that are featured in the docuseries, “The Real Wolf of Wall Street.” Learn more about your ad choices.

  • What Happened On Herb Baumeister's Property? New Doc Goes Back To Fox Hollow Farm

    What Happened On Herb Baumeister's Property? New Doc Goes Back To Fox Hollow Farm
    Jul 8 2026
    In the early to mid-1990s, gay men in Indianapolis kept vanishing, and no one had any idea what was happening to them. That was, until police were led to a man named Brian, which they soon learned was an alias for a successful Indiana business owner named Herb Baumeister. When law enforcement was eventually allowed to search his sprawling 18-acre property in Hamilton County, what they found was truly horrifying– around 10,000 bone fragments in the woods surrounding the house. Days after the gruesome discovery, Baumeister ended his own life, so any shot at charging him died too. Despite never being convicted for a crime related to the bodies found on his property, authorities believe that Baumeister is one of the country's most prolific serial killers, with over one dozen victims. “The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer” told the story of the tragedies that transpired at Fox Hollow Farm, its victims, and the investigation into what exactly happened. “Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets,” picks up where the 2025 docuseries left off, and director Alex Jablonski joined “Forbes True Crime” to discuss.
