Why witnesses keep changing their story in this Kentucky murder case (00:40:50)
Quincy Cross is in prison for the murder of Jessica Currin. In August of 2000, Jessica’s body was discovered behind a middle school in Mayfield, Kentucky. Her clothes were ripped. She was bruised, beaten and her body burned. For years, it looked like the case would go unsolved. Until a woman named Susan Galbreath started digging around. Susan had an unlikely connection to the case: she said God had instructed her to solve Jessica’s murder. And while she followed God’s plan, the police began following her lead. From the beginning, all Susan could focus on was Quincy Cross. Eventually police set their sights on four other people as well.

Andrew Tate got rich selling misogyny. Now he's fighting human trafficking charges. (00:47:09)
Although there are plenty of disturbing personalities on social media, few are as vicious, and as influential, as Andrew Tate.Tate, who began his career as a professional kickboxer, rose to prominence in the late 2010s as a social media influencer and self-described misogynist. On TikTok, his videos have been viewed billions of times, mostly by young men. Over the last couple of years, as Tate’s influence has spread, a growing body of evidence has emerged that his digital empire wasn’t just corrosive – it may have been criminal. In 2023, Romanian authorities charged Andrew Tate, and his brother Tristan, with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal organization to sexually exploit women. But before any of that came to light, two journalists received a tip about Tate back in 2019. That tip would send Jamie Tahsin and Matt Shea on a four year odyssey into the bizarre and disturbing subculture of Andrew Tate’s manosphere, which they document in their new book Clown World.
