About this listen

In Human Stains, we peel back the layers of humanity’s darkest impulses to expose the indelible marks left behind by crime. This true crime podcast doesn’t just recount grisly details—it interrogates the psychological, cultural, and emotional residue that lingers long after the headlines fade. Each episode dives into a case that left a permanent stain on the lives it touched, whether through betrayal, obsession, or sheer brutality.

The title Human Stains reflects the haunting idea that crime is never clean. It leaves behind traces—on victims, families, communities, and even the perpetrators themselves. These stains are metaphors for trauma, guilt, and the irreversible consequences of human choices. Some fade. Others never do.

From infamous cold cases to lesser-known tragedies, Human Stains is a raw, reflective journey into the shadows of the human psyche. Because some stories don’t wash away.

    On a quiet Florida morning, a livestream began — and within minutes, three children were fighting for their lives in the deep end of a community pool. Their mother, Shaniece Willingham, had tied them together with a rope and jumped in with them, declaring it her “last goodbye.”

    In this gripping episode, Kealoha unpacks the events leading up to the attempted murder-suicide that shocked a nation. From Shaniece‘s unraveling mental state and history of violence to the system that failed to intervene, *The Pool* is more than a true crime story — it’s a haunting reflection on missed warnings, broken support structures, and the question we can’t stop asking: *Could this have been prevented?*

    Listen as we trace the red flags, the silence, and the reckoning that followed.
    The children survived. But the scars — physical and emotional — remain.
