Ep. 066 | Kim Jong-nam [Part 2] & the Death of Otto Warmbier

Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was assassinated on February 13, 2017, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. Two women, Siti Aisyah from Indonesia and Đoàn Thị Hương from Vietnam, smeared a lethal dose of VX nerve agent on his face, allegedly believing they were participating in a prank video. The attack was widely believed to be orchestrated by North Korean agents as part of a state-sanctioned assassination.

Ep. 064 | The Murder of Robert Wone [Part 2]

My interview with Smile Talk with Jacob


On the night of August 2, 2006, 32-year-old attorney Robert Wone was found fatally stabbed in the guest room of a friend’s home in Washington, D.C., under circumstances that remain deeply mysterious. Wone had been staying overnight at the home of college friend Joseph Price, who lived there with his partner Victor Zaborsky and their housemate Dylan Ward. The three men claimed an unknown intruder broke in, stabbed Robert, and fled—yet there were no signs of forced entry, and their behavior after the crime raised suspicions. An autopsy revealed precise knife wounds and signs that Robert may have been incapacitated before his death, possibly through chemical restraint, though toxicology was inconclusive. The case garnered national attention due to its eerie details, the unusual domestic arrangement in the house, and the fact that the three men were later charged—not with murder, but with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. They were ultimately acquitted, and to this day, no one has been held criminally responsible for Robert Wone’s death.

Ep. 062 | The Murder of Geetha Angara

Geetha Angara, a 43-year-old senior chemist at the Passaic Valley Water Commission in Totowa, New Jersey, vanished on the morning of February 8, 2005, while performing routine water-sample calibrations. Her coworkers discovered an access panel ajar above a water tank, along with broken glass from her beaker, later found along with her radio and clipboard underwater. Her body was recovered on February 9 in icy water. The autopsy revealed she was alive when she entered the tank, with bruises on her neck, waist, and elbows—signs of a possible struggle—leading investigators to classify her death a homicide.

Given the plant’s tightly controlled access and no external intruders, suspicion fell on her coworkers; though three were identified as potential suspects, no charges were ever filed and the case went cold. An alternative theory, advanced by a Scottish pathologist, noted that cold-water drowning can mimic strangulation injuries, and some investigators later proposed that she may have tragically slipped through the panel during an accidental sample-collection procedure—though her family strongly disputes that scenario.

Ep. 061 | Walburga "Dolly" Oesterreich: One Charming Manipulative B*tch

Dolly and Fred Oesterreich were a seemingly ordinary married couple in early 20th-century Los Angeles, but their lives hid a shocking secret. Fred, a wealthy apron factory owner, was murdered in 1922 under mysterious circumstances—found shot to death in their home while Dolly claimed to be locked in a closet by intruders. As the investigation unfolded, detectives discovered that for over a decade, Dolly had been hiding her secret lover, Otto Sanhuber, in the attic of their home. Otto, a former factory worker, confessed to killing Fred during a confrontation, revealing a bizarre and sensational tale of obsession, manipulation, and a literal "man in the attic" that captured national headlines.

Ep. 059 | The Murder of Grace Millane

Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a 22-year-old British tourist on a gap‑year trip in New Zealand, disappeared on the evening of December 1, 2018, after she left a Tinder date in Auckland—her body was discovered in a suitcase a day later in the Waitākere Ranges

The man she met, Jesse Shane Kempson (26 at the time), was arrested on December 8 and later convicted in November 2019 of murdering her by strangulation; he claimed it was consensual “rough sex” that accidentally caused her death—a defense widely condemned as victim-blaming.

  • Kempson received life imprisonment with a minimum of 17 years before parole, his appeal was dismissed in December 2020, and the case continues to spark discussion around violence against women and the problematic “rough sex” defense.

    Ep. 058 | The Murder of Jacob Wetterling

    Jacob Erwin Wetterling was an 11‑year‑old boy from St. Joseph, Minnesota who was kidnapped at gunpoint on October 22, 1989, while riding his bicycle home with his brother and a friend. His disappearance touched the nation and sparked frantic searches, media coverage, and advocacy from his parents, Jerry and Patty Wetterling, who went on to found the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and help pass the federal. For nearly 27 years, the case remained unsolved until 2016, when Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting, and murdering Jacob, finally leading authorities to his remains buried near Paynesville, Minnesota. Jacob’s tragic story profoundly impacted child safety laws in the U.S., and continues to remind communities of both the dangers children face and the enduring power of hope and advocacy.

    Ep. 056 | Buried Alive: Barbara Jane Mackle

    In December 1968, 20-year-old college student and heiress Barbara Jane Mackle was kidnapped from an Atlanta motel by Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Krist and Eisemann-Schier, posing as law enforcement officers, abducted Mackle and buried her alive in a ventilated fiberglass box in a remote area of Georgia. The kidnappers demanded a $500,000 ransom from Mackle's wealthy father, which was eventually paid.


    After more than three days underground, Mackle was rescued by the FBI, suffering from dehydration but otherwise unharmed. Krist was captured, sentenced to life in prison, but was released on parole after ten years. Eisemann-Schier was arrested months later, served four years in prison, and was deported to her native Honduras. Despite the traumatic experience, Mackle went on to live a relatively private life, marrying and becoming a mother.

    In January 2015, Chanel Miller, then 22, was sexually assaulted by Stanford University student Brock Turner while she was unconscious behind a dumpster on campus. Two graduate students intervened and detained Turner until police arrived. Turner was convicted in March 2016 on three felony counts of sexual assault but received a sentence of only six months in county jail, serving just three months, which sparked widespread public outrage. Miller's powerful victim impact statement, read during Turner's sentencing, went viral and became a rallying cry for survivors of sexual assault. In 2019, she revealed her identity and published the memoir Know My Name, detailing her experience and critiquing the justice system's handling of sexual assault cases. The case led to significant legal reforms in California and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky, who had delivered the lenient sentence.

    Ep. 053 | The Murder of Amber Tuccaro

    Amber Tuccaro, a 20-year-old member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, disappeared on August 18, 2010, after hitchhiking from a motel in Nisku, Alberta, toward Edmonton. During the ride, she called her incarcerated brother, and the call was recorded, capturing a conversation in which she questioned the driver's route, expressing concern that he was not taking her where she wanted to go. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) released a portion of this recording in 2012, hoping the public could identify the man's voice.


    Shortly after, Amber's remains were discovered in a field in Leduc County, south of her last known location. The RCMP faced significant criticism for their handling of the case, including delays in initiating the investigation and mishandling of evidence, leading to a formal apology in 2019. Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved, and Tuccaro's family continues to seek justice.

    Ep. 052 | Without a Trace: The Stories of Brian Shaffer & Niqui McCown

    Check out Perplexity here!


    On April 1, 2006, 27-year-old Ohio State University medical student Brian Shaffer disappeared under mysterious circumstances. After a night out with friends at the Ugly Tuna Saloona in Columbus, Ohio, he was captured on surveillance footage entering the bar but was never seen leaving. Despite extensive investigations, including reviewing security footage and conducting searches, no trace of Brian has been found. The case remains unsolved, with theories ranging from accidental death to voluntary disappearance.

    Marilyn "Niqui" McCown, a 28-year-old corrections officer from Richmond, Indiana, vanished on July 22, 2001, just three weeks before her wedding. After doing laundry at a local laundromat, she was never seen again. Her SUV was later found abandoned in Dayton, Ohio, with her laundry still inside. Despite investigations and various theories, including potential involvement of her fiancé, no conclusive evidence has emerged, and Niqui remains missing.

    Ep. 051 | The Fall of Victoria Cilliers [Part 2 of 2]

    In April 2015, Victoria Cilliers, an experienced skydiving instructor, survived a 4,000-foot fall when both her main and reserve parachutes failed during a jump in Wiltshire, England. Investigations revealed that her husband, Emile Cilliers, a British Army sergeant, had deliberately sabotaged her parachutes in an attempt to murder her and claim a £120,000 life insurance payout to alleviate his debts and start a new life with his mistress. This was his second attempt on her life; a week earlier, he had tampered with a gas valve at their home, hoping to cause an explosion. In 2018, Emile Cilliers was convicted of two counts of attempted murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years. ​

    Ep. 049 | The Murders of Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin

    True Crime Creepers Link Tree⁠

    In February 2022, best friends Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin were killed in a deliberate and calculated car crash on the A46 in Leicestershire, England. The pair had been lured to the area under false pretenses by a woman named Ansreen Bukhari and her daughter, TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari, after Saqib—who had been in a secret relationship with Ansreen—threatened to expose their affair. What followed was a high-speed chase orchestrated by Mahek and a group of accomplices, ending with Saqib and Hashim’s car being rammed off the road and bursting into flames. Investigators would later uncover a plot rooted in deception, blackmail, and social media clout, exposing the chilling lengths some would go to protect their reputations.

    Ep. 048 | The Murder of Dr. Kendra Hatcher

    True Crime Creepers Link Tree

    Kendra Hatcher, a 35-year-old pediatric dentist living in Dallas, Texas, was shot and killed in the parking garage of her upscale apartment complex on September 2, 2015. The murder was orchestrated by Brenda Delgado, the ex-girlfriend of Kendra’s boyfriend, Ricky Paniagua, who had grown jealous of their relationship. Brenda recruited Crystal Cortes to drive getaway and hired Kristopher Love to carry out the shooting, promising payment in exchange. Delgado provided Cortes with information about Kendra’s whereabouts and used her connections to obtain the murder weapon.


    The plot unraveled quickly as investigators tracked down Cortes, who confessed and implicated both Love and Delgado. Love was later convicted and sentenced to death, while Delgado, who had fled to Mexico, was extradited and received a life sentence. The case shocked the community not only for its calculated nature, but also because of the seemingly senseless motive: jealousy turned deadly.

    Ep. 047 | The Mysterious Death of Cindy James

    Cindy James, a 44-year-old nurse from British Columbia, spent seven years reporting over 100 incidents of harassment, violent attacks, and threats from an alleged anonymous stalker. Despite police investigations and media coverage, no assailant was ever identified, and Cindy was repeatedly found injured or drugged under bizarre circumstances—sometimes hogtied or with needle marks—only to survive each event.


    In 1989, her body was discovered in the yard of an abandoned house, hogtied with a nylon stocking around her neck and a fatal dose of morphine and sedatives in her system. No weapon or injection tools were found at the scene. A coroner's inquest ruled her death as an "unknown event," unable to determine whether it was suicide, homicide, or accidental. The case remains one of Canada’s most baffling mysteries, dividing opinion on whether Cindy was a victim of a cunning stalker or the architect of an elaborate and ultimately fatal psychological struggle.

    A Trial by Podcast
    Whether it's a true crime case or a morbid historical tale, we understand that the devil is in the details. In each episode, we comb through the facts, scrutinize the suspects, and deliver the disturbing stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy evidence-driven storytelling with a dash of gallows humor to make the disturbing (somewhat) tolerable, we suspect this is the pod for you. But this is A Trial by Podcast, so we'll let you be the judge.
