    207. No-Body Homicides with Tad DiBiase, Part 2
    Jul 7 2026

    In Part 2 of my conversation with former federal prosecutor Tad DiBiase, we dig into how investigators distinguish a missing‑persons case from a homicide, why the absence of evidence can be the most powerful clue, and how prosecutors build no‑body murder cases.

    We talk through successful prosecutions — including Lloyd Lee Welch in the Lyon sisters case and Sante and Kenneth Kimes in the murder of Irene Silverman — as well as failures like the dismissed case against Michael Turney in the disappearance of his daughter, Alyssa. We also explore what it may take to finally resolve long‑standing no‑body cases, from the Lewis‑Clark Valley disappearances to the cases of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner and Jermain Charlo.

    206. No-Body Homicides with Tad DiBiase, Part 1
    Jun 23 2026

    Tad DiBiase, a former federal homicide prosecutor, joins me to discuss his path to specializing in no-body homicide cases, how investigators recognize when a missing person may actually have been murdered, and the core challenges of proving these cases. We explore historical and modern no-body homicides, along with ongoing cases that remain unresolved.

    202. Why Transitions Are So Hard with Victoria Grady
    May 5 2026

    Why is change so hard? Victoria Grady, an organizational psychologist and expert in adult attachment theory, joins me to discuss the space in between, where you are letting go of one thing and grasping for something new. When my mother died, the Paddington bear she gave me as a child gave me a clue about why and what we can do to make it a little easier for ourselves and others.
