New Jailhouse interview with convicted murderer Tadaryl Shipp!
Christa Pike is an American woman convicted of a notorious 1995 murder in Tennessee. At 18, she became the youngest woman on death row in the United States. Pike, along with fellow Job Corps students, lured Colleen Slemmer to an isolated location where Pike carried out a prolonged and especially violent attack. The case gained widespread attention due to the brutality involved, including testimony that Pike kept a portion of the victim’s skull. She was ultimately convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, where she remains on Tennessee’s death row.

Tadaryl Shipp and Shadolla Peterson were Pike’s co-defendants in the case. Both were present during the murder and were convicted for their roles, though they were considered less directly responsible for the killing itself. Shipp received a life sentence, while Peterson was convicted of being an accessory after the fact and received a significantly lighter sentence. Their involvement, along with Pike’s central role, made the case one of the most disturbing and widely discussed crimes connected to the Job Corps program.

Please note: From 11:10-12:04 Shipp played a snippet of an instrumental he produced but it wasn’t picked up due to a noise cancellation setting that was enabled, it removed it as ‘background noise’.

The case of Mickey Douglas centers on a deadly shooting at a Coney Island–style restaurant in Detroit in July 2020, where Douglas opened fire inside the establishment after a brief interaction reportedly triggered by a comment about his girlfriend. The attack killed three victims—Brian Jackson, Carnell Watts, and Courtney Willis—and left a fourth person seriously injured.

Prosecutors charged Douglas with multiple felonies, including three counts of first-degree murder and assault with intent to murder, and evidence showed he had a prior violent criminal history and was on parole at the time. He was later convicted of second-degree murder and related charges and sentenced to decades in prison (roughly 40–60 years per count), with the court describing the shooting as senseless and unprovoked, stemming from a minor dispute that escalated into lethal violence.

Isabella Young is a cult survivor who has rebuilt her life after escaping from a high-control, religious group that she joined with the belief it was a spiritual community under the guidance of a spiritual teacher. What began as a search for healing, purpose, and belonging became a fight for sanity, truth, and freedom from years of mind control, emotional abuse, and strict obedience to a charismatic and deranged leader. Over time, she recognized that emotional, psychological, and spiritual tactics were being used to control cult members, including cutting off contact with family, brainwashing, and punishments for independent thinking and disobedience.

Leaving required great courage because the cult leader threatened everyone who wanted to leave with endless suffering and personal tragedies.
After her escape, Young faced the difficult process of creating a new life with new relationships, stable housing, employment, and the process of healing from the trauma of the cult. Recovery is ongoing: she has spoken about struggling with guilt, shame, fear, trust, and the challenge of making decisions after years of being told what to think and how to live. A range of healing modalities and support from other cult survivors have played a major role in regaining her self-confidence and rebuilding her sense of identity.

She has described the islands as a place for renewal where she can focus on personal growth and emotional well-being while distancing herself from a painful past and creating a new foundation for her future.
In recent years, Young has become an advocate for raising awareness of cults, high control groups, and psychological manipulation. By sharing her story, she aims to reduce the stigma around cult survivors and encourage others to question environments that demand total loyalty or suppress individuality and critical thinking. Her journey from control to independence highlights the vulnerability that can draw some-one into a cult and the resilience it takes to reclaim one’s life afterward.

New episode out now!
The criminal case of Eric Hainstock centers on a 15-year-old student who, in September 2006, brought a shotgun and handgun into Weston High School and fatally shot his principal, John Klang, after a confrontation over disciplinary issues. Hainstock had a history of behavioral problems and claimed he had been bullied, though investigations found mixed evidence supporting that claim. Following his arrest, he was charged as an adult and later convicted of first-degree intentional homicide; in 2008, he was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after a lengthy period, reflecting the severity of the crime and the court’s view of premeditation.

Wendy Holland is an Alabama woman who became publicly known after a broader criminal investigation involving members of her extended family in Mobile County. The investigation gained attention during the time of the 2012 disappearance of her teenage relative, Brittney Wood, a case that drew significant media coverage and later became the subject of true crime documentaries.

As a result of the investigation, Wendy Holland was convicted of charges related to sexual abuse and incest involving minors. Her convictions stemmed from evidence uncovered by authorities during that period, and she was sentenced under Alabama law for those offenses. Brittney Wood’s disappearance remains unsolved.

New episode out now! Lazale Ashby is a Connecticut inmate whose legal saga stems from the December 2002 rape and murder of 21-year-old Elizabeth Garcia in her Hartford apartment; DNA evidence and his own statements led to his arrest and a 2008 conviction on multiple counts, including capital felony, for which he was sentenced to death — making him one of the state’s youngest death row prisoners — but after Connecticut abolished the death penalty, that sentence was converted to life plus 125 years. However, in 2020 the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned his conviction because his rights were violated at the original trial, and Ashby later pleaded guilty in 2023 and received a 46½-year prison sentence, the third sentencing in the case; he is also serving a 25-year term for another 2003 murder

I just wrapped up an interview with convicted quadruple murderer, Paul Merhige.

Paul Merhige was responsible for one of the most notorious family mass murders in Florida history. On Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009, Merhige, then 35 years old, attended a large family gathering at his cousin’s home in Jupiter, Florida. During the celebration, he suddenly retrieved a handgun and opened fire on relatives inside the house. He fatally shot his twin sisters, Lisa Knight and Leslie Johnson, his aunt Christine Wright, and his six-year-old cousin, Benjamin Wright. Several other family members were present at the time, including children, who narrowly escaped being killed.

After the shootings, Merhige fled the scene in his vehicle, prompting a massive manhunt across Florida.

Family members reported that he had been withdrawn and emotionally unstable in the years leading up to the shooting, though no one anticipated the scale of violence that would occur. The case deeply impacted the Jupiter community and reignited national conversations about mental health treatment, warning signs, and the challenges of preventing sudden acts of mass violence within families.

This interview will be released by the end of April 2026.

New episode out now! When he was 15 (later described as 16 when sentenced), Betournay was tried and convicted for killing his 14-year-old sister (April Betournay) and her 14-year-old friend (Beth Garbe) on December 14, 1994. He bound the girls’ wrists and ankles with duct tape, then sealed plastic bags over their heads — suffocating them. He later confessed. Although his defense argued that mental illness and diminished capacity should preclude a first-degree murder charge, a judge ruled he was competent to stand trial as an adult. A jury convicted him of two counts of first-degree murder after 6½ days of trial and about seven hours of deliberation.

At sentencing, Betournay — then 16 — was given a prison term of 63 years and 4 months, which exceeded by over ten years the standard sentencing range for two first-degree murder convictions in such a case. Even accounting for possible good behavior reductions, prosecutors estimated he would likely remain imprisoned until around age 70. Dani Holder was recently in late 2025.
