Crime House 24/7

In 1990, 22-year-old Pamela Smart's husband was shot in the head inside their New Hampshire home. Investigators soon learned Pamela — a media coordinator at a local high school — had been sleeping with a 15-year-old student, and had talked him into killing her husband. Her trial was the first murder trial in the country ever televised gavel to gavel. She got life without parole. This past week, at 58, Pamela was back in court arguing that the transcripts of the secret recordings that convicted her were inaccurate — and that she deserves a new trial. Vanessa walks you through the case, the trial, and what's happening now.

This afternoon, Vanessa is bringing you an episode from another one of her shows: Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes. In this episode: "The Disney Machine." Walt Disney didn't just build a theme park — he built a system of total control and convinced the world to call it magic. Vanessa unpacks the nine-acre tunnel network beneath the parks, the 56 years Disney ran its own government in Florida, and the documented fact that Walt himself was an FBI informant — separating the Disney myths from the documented conspiracies. To hear more, follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On an October night in 2022, 21-year-old Grace Jennings was killed with a sword inside a Santa Fe garage. The woman who wielded the blade — Kiara McCulley — has already pleaded guilty. But her boyfriend, Isaac Apodaca, never touched it. Prosecutors argued he didn't need to: he'd convinced 19-year-old Kiara they were part of a secret society that hunted down "bad people," and that killing Grace was how she'd earn her place. Last week, a Santa Fe jury agreed, convicting Apodaca of first-degree murder. He now faces a mandatory life sentence.

In July 2023, 28-year-old professional dancer O'Shae Sibley was voguing to Beyoncé's "Renaissance" with his friends at a Brooklyn gas station when a 17-year-old approached them, hurled anti-Black and homophobic slurs, and stabbed O'Shae in the chest. He was dead before the night was over. This past week, three years later, a Brooklyn judge sentenced Dmitriy Popov to 20 years in prison for what a jury found was a hate crime. Vanessa walks you through O'Shae's life, the trial that split down the middle, and the sentence that finally landed.
