Prepare to step into the chilling world of Todd Kohlhepp, as we guide you through the twisted journey of his life and crimes. In this episode, we unmask the facade of a seemingly reformed man, revealing the cold-blooded killer hidden beneath, responsible for the horrifying Superbike Motorsport massacre and more.
Starting with an exploration of Todd's tumultuous childhood, we discuss the early signs of violent tendencies and lack of empathy. The episode illuminates the path of a disturbed journey that began with animal cruelty and escalated to a heinous act of kidnapping and sexual assault at just 15. We consider the many missed opportunities for intervention, underscoring the critical need for early identification and support for individuals struggling with violent tendencies and mental health issues.
As we continue our deep dive, we scrutinize Todd's manipulative tactics during his sentencing, his additional confessions, and the shockingly normal life he led between his crimes. In a haunting conclusion, we highlight the resilience of Melissa Ponder, widow to one of Todd's victims, serving as a poignant reminder of the human ability to confront trauma and find strength in the face of immense pain. Stay with us as we close this chapter and prepare to embark on a new series, focusing on unsolved murders and the importance of remembering those horrifically taken from us.

LaDonna Humphrey and David McClam, discuss the troubling murder case of Deanna Stevison, who was fatally shot entering an apartment, a case that has raised significant questions about Florida’s stand your ground law. The law, which was not challenged in Deanna’s case due to its provisions, has been criticized for not improving public safety and potentially exacerbating racial disparities. The circumstances surrounding Deanna’s death—her estrangement from her fiancée and the involvement of a former police officer—underscore concerns about the potential misuse of such laws. Despite Deanna expressing fears for her safety, the motives behind her shooting, and the details of her visiting someone’s house to pick up a letter, suggest investigators may have overlooked key elements.
The broader misuse of stand your ground laws across the United States is highlighted, showing how they can lead to deadly outcomes in various scenarios, including disputes and custody battles. These laws have sometimes enabled aggressors and law enforcement officers to justify deadly force improperly. Furthermore, individuals such as women in abusive relationships and people of color often find it challenging to effectively use these laws in their defense. The case of Marissa Alexander is particularly noted, where her claim under the law was initially rejected despite facing violence, leading to a conviction later overturned on appeal.
The podcast also critiques the investigation efforts by the Escambia County sheriff’s office and calls for a reconsideration of stand your ground laws in Florida and elsewhere. They argue these laws might protect individuals who claim self-defense in situations where harm could have been avoided. With a focus on statistics from Florida and examples from Arizona and Tallahassee, the conversation underscores instances where claims of self-defense were questionable. The speakers express frustration over the lack of thorough investigation and proper application of the law in cases like Deanna’s, advocating for a reevaluation of such cases and a rewriting of the laws to prevent further injustices and ensure justice is served. The text concludes with an encouragement for listeners to engage with the content and stay updated on developments, hinting at future discussions on the topic.

We delve into the mysterious disappearance of Clinton Devon Nelson in September 2006, a young man from Nebraska who went missing after trying to reconnect with his biological father in Louisiana. Despite a hopeful beginning, including a job offer and plans to live with his father, Clinton’s story took a dark turn when he vanished following an encounter at a friend’s house, where his stepfather Jeff last saw him peering through blinds. Clinton had a history that included a drug possession charge and an outstanding arrest warrant for missing a court date, but his sudden disappearance left many unanswered questions. His family firmly believed he wouldn’t have left voluntarily, especially since he was excited about upcoming fatherhood and left behind his paycheck.
Investigations revealed drug activity at the friend’s house Clinton visited, linking it to methamphetamine distribution, and suggested Clinton might have been using heavy narcotics, possibly leading to paranoia and erratic behavior. Despite extensive searches and theories ranging from voluntary departure to drug-induced disorientation or even foul play, Clinton’s fate remains unknown. LaDonna along with Amy Smith, participated in search efforts and are working on a documentary to bring attention to Clinton’s case, hoping for closure and justice.
