    61 - Death of OpenAI Whistleblower Suchir Balaji
    Mar 12 2025
    On November 26, 2024, OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment—a gunshot wound to the head, a firearm registered in his name, and toxicology reports showing alcohol and amphetamines in his system. Authorities ruled it a suicide.

    But his mother, Poornima Balaji, isn't convinced. She has publicly challenged the official narrative, pointing to inconsistencies in the autopsy, the rushed investigation, and the powerful forces that may have wanted him silenced. In an emotional interview with Firstpost, she insists her son was murdered for what he knew—and she's demanding answers. Was Suchir Balaji silenced for speaking out?

    In this episode, we uncover the chilling details behind his whistleblowing claims, the corporate and legal pressures at play, and the growing public skepticism surrounding his sudden death. Joining us is international cybersecurity attorney Irina Tsukerman, who weighs in on the legal, ethical, and security implications of his case. What was Suchir Balaji exposing before his death?

    This is more than a mystery—it’s a cautionary tale of power, corruption, and what happens when the truth becomes too dangerous to tell.

    What does it take to bring a true crime story to national television?

    For nearly a decade, journalist and TV producer Claire St. Amant has worked on some of the most high-profile cases in the country, reporting for 48 Hours and 60 Minutes.

    In this episode, Claire talks about her whirlwind career—from launching her first podcast, Final Days on Earth, and hosting four gripping seasons, to her latest podcast, Justice Pending, and now, her first book. Plus, she’s collaborating with a major network to develop a new docuseries on serial killers—and we get the inside scoop.

    59 - Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?
    Feb 26 2025
    On December 26, 1996, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in her Boulder, Colorado home. Hours before the case even hit the news, convicted pedophile Gary Oliva called his friend Michael Vail, confessing that he had "accidentally" killed her. So why, 28 years later, does this case remain unsolved? Is justice within reach, or has it already been served without anyone realizing?

    Cold Case Investigator & Private detective Jason Jensen, forensic psychologist Craig Wetterer, and insider Michael Vail break down the tangled web of evidence, misinformation, and media-fueled speculation. Why won’t DNA solve this case? Why did investigative journalists in the ‘90s double down on their accusations against the Ramsey family? And why, after all this time, does the case remain frozen in uncertainty?

    Buckle up—this isn’t the story you think you know.

  • 58 - When Therapy Turns Predatory

    58 - When Therapy Turns Predatory
    Feb 19 2025
    What happens when therapy becomes the ultimate betrayal?

    Roxana Eubanks, PsyD—better known as Rox the Doc— unpacks the chilling case of therapist Kristin Marchese, who seduced her patient, Mark Huckeby, during their sessions at a mental health clinic. Already battling bipolar disorder, PTSD, and suicidal ideation, Huckeby spiraled into emotional turmoil—leading to homicidal threats and forcing Marchese to seek a restraining order against him.

    Therapy is supposed to be a place of healing, but when power is abused, the consequences are devastating. This episode exposes the ethical violations, psychological wreckage, and predators hiding behind professional titles. Other therapists have crossed the line as well. Complaints against Dr. Ali Sahebi alleged that he conducted group therapy in his home, served whiskey to patients, and engaged in a sexual relationship with a female patient. In July 2024, he was found guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct.

    In another case, Dr. Daniel Lerom was forced to relinquish his license after being caught billing insurance while having sex with a patient during their sessions. Kristin Marchese was ultimately convicted of two felony counts of sexual exploitation, highlighting the urgent need for accountability in the mental health field.

    Rox the Doc shares her own journey from working in corrections to private practice—where firm boundaries aren’t just ethical; they’re essential for survival.

    If you need a forensic psychologist to represent you for damages in civil court due to this type of predatory behavior, book a consultation with Dana Anderson at www.psychologydr.com.

    56 - Florida Doctor: Wrongful Death Lawsuit
    Feb 5 2025
    A routine surgery turned fatal when Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky allegedly removed a man's liver instead of his spleen—but was this a tragic accident or part of a disturbing pattern of negligence? Legal Nurse Consultant Shannon Boyett joins the show to dissect the 500-page civil complaint, uncovering the deeper story of a Florida surgeon with a history of malpractice, lawsuits, and an alleged cover-up. How did he keep operating for so long? Who looked the other way? And who else is named in the lawsuit?
    Boyett reveals how forensic nurses expose medical negligence, while forensic psychologists analyze the warning signs of high-risk professionals, including narcissism, lack of accountability, and an absence of remorse—traits that allow dangerous doctors to continue practicing unchecked. Discover how these forensic experts assist attorneys in high-profile civil lawsuits, exposing the truth and holding negligent professionals accountable.

    55 - Sins of the Church
    Jan 29 2025
    Jessee Baldwin exposes the sins hidden within religious institutions, recounting her sexual abuse as a 12-year-old at North Valley Christian School. For years, Jessee was ignored as those in power, including the pastor, protected her abuser and silenced the truth. Rather than reporting the crimes, they enabled the abuse by providing recommendations for the teacher’s employment at other schools and further supporting their role as a missionary, where the sexual exploitation of children continued globally for decades.

    Mandated reporters failed Jessee and countless others, highlighting a systemic issue. Now a survivor and advocate, Jessee examines the intersection of faith, abuse, and manipulation, sharing her personal journey, the psychological toll of betrayal, and the pursuit of justice through civil court. This discussion highlights the critical role of forensic psychologists in civil lawsuits, from assessing psychological damages to providing expert testimony that supports survivors in demanding accountability and systemic change.

    54 - The Butcher and The Beast
    Jan 22 2025
    Investigative journalist and Dark Mind Detective host Marc Deveraux explores the disturbing cases of two West Coast serial killers who shocked society: Robert Pickton, chillingly dubbed "The Butcher," and Clifford Robert Olson Jr., the infamous "Beast of British Columbia."

    Pickton lured vulnerable women to his pig farm, where he carried out unimaginable horrors. He butchered his victims, dismembered their bodies, and disposed of remains in ways so grotesque that investigators were left horrified—some remains were even reportedly fed to his pigs or rendered into other products. In contrast, Olson weaponized charm and deceit to prey on young victims, his year-long reign of terror claiming 11 lives. Olson’s chilling $100K “cash-for-bodies” deal, where he extorted law enforcement for financial gain in exchange for revealing his victims' locations, further solidified his reputation as a manipulative predator.

    Tune in as Marc uncovers the twisted contrasts between these men, their horrifying motives, and the immense challenges faced by law enforcement in bringing their reigns of terror to an end.
