The Prison Priest | Chapter 4
By 1996, because of pressure from Dana Ireland’s family and the media and the want to close this case for good, the police decided to send the case to prosecutors—despite DNA evidence excluding Ian and Shawn Schweitzer, as well as Frank Pauline Jr. But as the public scrutiny grows, so do the lies. Frank, hoping for leniency, spins a series of contradictory stories to the police and the press—before ultimately recanting on live TV and accusing the police of coercing his confession. In Chapter 4, Amanda Knox, drawing from her own experience, exposes how flawed science, false testimony, and prosecutorial egos can turn a weak case into a nightmare conviction. --- You can view the materials referenced in this episode at https://threepodcast.com/chapter-4-the-prison-priest Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction .

The Aftermath | Chapter 2
In a place where everyone knows everyone, during the early days of the investigation, police have no shortage of tips. Soon they turn their attention to three potential suspects: Frank Nasario, Anthony Torres and Roy Santos…but only a few months later, any hope that this case would be open and shut is dashed; none of the men’s DNA matches what was found on Dana Ireland or at the scene. Then, just when the Hawai'i Police Department think they have no other leads to explore, they conveniently get a phone call implicating who this man says are the real people who killed Dana Ireland. --- You can view the materials referenced in this episode at https://threepodcast.com/chapter-2-the-aftermath/ Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction .

In the early morning hours of November 2, 2007, Justin Gaines walked out of a popular nightclub on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia and was never seen again.

Though this detailed confession described what happened to Justin Gaines, who was involved, and where his body was placed, no arrest has ever been made. Host Sean Kipe digs into this story to find out what really happened to Justin Gaines and tries to make sense of the still ongoing investigation.

Trial by Twitter | Season 1 Trailer
After midnight on July 6th, 2012, three teenage girls walked into the thick Appalachian woods somewhere along the Mason-Dixon line. Hours later, under the glow of a nearly full moon, only two walked out. The very last time Dave and Mary Neese saw their only child Skylar was in a grainy black-and-white video. In it, she's sneaking out of her ground-floor bedroom in the middle of the night, her purse over her shoulder, her brown hair swinging as she hurries across the small parking lot to a waiting car. What happened to Skylar Neese has become gothic American lore: the odd girl out in a vicious teenage triangle. But in the ten years since that fateful night beneath the West Virginia stars, a fuller portrait of what happened has emerged. From award-winning journalists Justine Harman and Holly Millea comes a gripping 10-part series featuring Skylar's family, closest friends, and law enforcement who lived the case— and are still living it. “Harman and Millea interview Skylar's family and close friends, as well as investigators on the case, about the chilling dynamic at the heart of this teen triangle — and how it reached its sinister pinnacle.” – Mashable, The 20 Bests Podcasts of 2024
