In 1964, Jacques Mossler, a multi-millionaire financier, was found brutally murdered in his Key Biscayne apartment, stabbed 39 times. The investigation quickly turned toward his wife, Candy Mossler, and her nephew, Mel Powers, uncovering an allegedly illicit and incestuous romance that shocked the nation. This episode dives into the sensational trial that followed, exploring how the defense turned the 'forbidden' nature of the defendants' relationship into a distraction that led to one of the most controversial 'not guilty' verdicts in Florida history.

Eight children, ages 3 to 11, lost their lives in a single morning in Shreveport, but was this tragedy preventable? In this episode, we analyze the ignored warning signs that preceded Shamar Elkins’ rampage. From his 2019 conviction for firing shots near a school to his January 2026 stay in a VA hospital for 'dark thoughts,' the red flags were waving long before the first shot was fired on Harrison Street. We investigate the legal systems meant to prevent felons from obtaining firearms and the specific failures in domestic violence intervention that left Elkins’ wife and ex-wife vulnerable despite the escalating tension of their separation
