When 44-year-old Collin Small vanished from his Bronx apartment, police followed a trail that led to a shocking discovery and a familiar face. His longtime friend, Sheldon Johnson Jr., once celebrated as a reformed Harlem activist, now stood accused of his brutal murder.
Crime Estate unpacks how a bond forged in childhood ended inside a Bronx apartment.
Bootlegger. Lawyer. Killer.
During Prohibition, George Remus — a lawyer, pharmacist, and self-made millionaire — discovered a loophole in the Volstead Act that made him one of America’s richest bootleggers.
With his bourbon fortune, he built a 35-room Cincinnati mansion where the parties were legendary, the liquor flowed freely, and the secrets ran deep. But behind the glamour and jazz-age extravagance lay betrayal, obsession, and murder.
In this episode of Crime Estate, Heather, Elena, and Melanie uncover how one man used his law degree, ambition, and greed to build an empire on bourbon — and how it all came crashing down.

Show Notes & Sources:
On a quiet street in Brentwood, California, nestled among palm trees and million-dollar homes, sits a nondescript townhouse that became ground zero for one of the most infamous crimes in American history.
In June of 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found brutally murdered just outside her front door — a crime that sparked a media frenzy, divided the country, and changed the way we talk about fame, race, and justice.
At the center of it all was her ex-husband — football legend, actor, and celebrity icon O.J. Simpson. Acquitted in criminal court, found liable in civil court, and forever tied to the shadow of what happened that night.
But what happened after the trial — to the crime scene, to O.J.’s lavish Brentwood mansion, and to the people left in the wake? Today, we're not just revisiting the murder — we’re tracing the strange real estate trail left behind, and how even bricks and addresses couldn’t escape the gravity of the case. Listen as we discuss the stories behind the crime, and the places they left behind.
The Real Estate: 875 S. Bundy Drive (Nicole) & 360 N. Rockingham Ave. (OJ)

In this episode, we delve into the captivating and tragic story of Roseanne Quinn, a young woman whose life ended in a shocking and mysterious murder. Roseanne, an aspiring dancer and actress, lived in an apartment at 253 West 72nd Street, nestled in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. At the time, this neighborhood was known for its bohemian spirit, sandwiched between the cultural landmarks of Central Park to the East, Lincoln Center to the South, and Columbia University to the North. Unlike the wealthy, polished Upper East Side, the Upper West Side thrived as an artistic, intellectual, and edgy enclave.
While today the area has undergone gentrification—replacing its gritty edge with luxury apartments, high-end retail, and upscale dining—back in Roseanne’s day, the neighborhood still carried the pulse of urban decline alongside its creative energy. Join us as we explore Roseanne’s life in this vibrant, yet turbulent, environment, and uncover the chilling events that led to her untimely death. Her story is a poignant reminder of how quickly life can be upended and how the heart of a neighborhood can change forever.
