MAN-Slaughter tells intertwining stories about how one gunshot on a cold Wisconsin night in 1970 dramatically changed multiple lives. A bullet brutally tore through decorated law enforcement veteran LaVerne Stordock.

At the center of Dorothy’s investigation is Suzanne Brandon, LaVerne’s second wife, who confessed to the shooting -- and who Dorothy believes completely escaped justice. As it follows Dorothy’s discoveries, MAN-Slaughter explores questions around the psychology of crime, the ways women are made responsible in families, and the lasting impact of trauma.

Leona Helmsley was a force to be reckoned with. Not only did she take whatever she wanted in life by any means necessary, including her husband, she seemed to thrive on belittling those around her. This came back to bite her when, after an $8 million renovation on her "weekend" mansion, she tried to dispute charges by citing shoddy work. Little did she know, her contractors noticed that the Helmsley's company had been billed - not the couple themselves.

A 911 call comes in about a beloved member of the elementary school's after school program, and PTA President, stating she had been driving erratically and was seen hiding drugs in her car.

In the town of Dalton, Georgia, a small Bible group experienced a big miracle. After months of feeling like they had a bigger calling, a bigger purpose, their Bible began to seep oil, and didn't seem to let up. Knowing this was their moment, they began to give the oil away, encouraging people to be anointed and whatever they asked of the Lord would be granted.

But when the newspaper article was released, an employee from a tractor supply store spoke up, and what he had to say brought the whole thing in to question...

On September 2, 2010, 24-year-old Michelle O’Connell broke up with her boyfriend, St. Johns County Sheriff Deputy Jeremy Banks. Minutes later, she’s dead. The St. Johns Sheriff’s Office quickly ruled the case a suicide, without examining crucial forensic evidence or interviewing key witnesses. A medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, yet other official investigations failed to gain traction. And her boyfriend Deputy Jeremy Banks was never charged and is still working as a St. Johns County Sheriff’s Deputy. Years later, an amateur sleuth named Eli Washtock winds up murdered after investigating Michelle O’Connell’s death. What did he find out? Criminal Conduct is an investigative true-crime podcast series hosted by John Taylor and Javier Leiva. The hosts retrace the footsteps of the Eli Washtock, the slain sleuth—picking up the investigation where he left off. The trailer is available now. The podcast will be debut this Spring 2020 on all podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co /2S4KaoG Google Play - http://bit.ly/CriminalConGoogle Stitcher - http://bit.ly/CriminalConStitcher Spotify - https://spoti.fi /2S00wz7

In the 1980's, an investigative journalist makes the find of a lifetime - the previously lost diaries of Adolf Hitler. Not only would this be a snapshot into history, some of the information inside would cast doubt onto what we previously knew about one of the most notorious villains of all time. Once the diaries are published, questions begin to arise. Are they even real? If not, where did they come from? And who would be daring enough to try to rewrite history?
