That's right, another TWO PARTER

In Part One, we walk through the final hours before Brianna Denison vanished from a rental house near the University of Nevada, Reno and the days following. From a night out at a major snowboarding event to a shocking discovery the next morning, investigators quickly realized this was no voluntary disappearance.

As early leads were ruled out, a disturbing forensic connection began to emerge — hinting that Brianna’s case was part of something far larger.

In 1876, Charles Bravo died in agony after ingesting a lethal dose of antimony inside his own bedroom. His wife Florence became the prime suspect in the court of public opinion, yet the evidence against her remained circumstantial. With six doctors involved, conflicting testimony, and multiple potential motives, this episode explores whether Bravo was murdered or whether his volatile psychology led to his own destruction.

In Part One, Inna Budnystka is found beaten and left for dead. Investigators have no clear explanation for what happened to her — or how she could vanish from a hotel filled with security cameras without being seen leaving. With no answers, and no suspect, Inna files a lawsuit against the hotel, alleging a lack of security.

Ironically, security isn’t the problem.

For the first time in months, the case begins to warm up thanks to Ken Brennan.

He is now armed with surveillance footage, a man whose actions don’t blend in, timestamps that don’t add up and a suitcase that raises questions. The pieces have always been there — they just haven’t been put together the right way.

Until now.
