Weird True Crime

The Murder of Cassie Jo | From The Vault

We're throwing it back to the very first episode we ever recorded together — and it's a case that still gives us chills. Sixteen-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart was house-sitting for her aunt and uncle when what should’ve been a quiet night turned into an unthinkable nightmare.
In this episode, we cover how two of Cassie’s classmates carried out a cold, premeditated murder — all while documenting their plan on video. It’s a case that’s not only heartbreaking, but also incredibly disturbing in how calculated it was.
If you’ve never heard this one, buckle up. And if you have, it’s worth a revisit — this case sticks with you.

Crook County: Unraveling Family Secrets with Kyle Tekiela

What would you do if you discovered your father had been leading a double life—one as a respected firefighter, the other as an alleged hitman for the Chicago Outfit? That’s exactly what Kyle Tekiela faced when he learned the shocking truth about his father, Kenny "The Kid" Tekiela. In his gripping podcast, Crook County, Kyle unpacks his father’s alleged ties to the infamous Chicago Outfit—a crime syndicate that operated under mob bosses like Sam Giancana and Al Capone.
In this episode, I sit down with Kyle to discuss what it was like to uncover his father’s past, the emotional toll it took on him and his family, and why he decided to share his story with the world.
