On our second Under the Microscope episode, we delve into two individual cases.

Kendra explores one of the most famous unsolved murders in DC history, that of Chandra Levy. Chandra disappeared in May 2001 and it would take them over a year to find out what happened to her. In the meantime, the media was more focused on the fact that she had an affair with a much older married congressman. This focus may have distracted the police and locating where Chandra's remains were eventually found. To this day, there are still no real clear answers on who violently killed Chandra Levy.

Jessica shares a tragic story of a young woman, Abbi Winters, and how she lived through an inexplicable violent tragedy inflicted on her by her ex-husband and father of her young son. Abbi now speaks out about red flags and how to deal with an abusive relationship before it is too late. Listen now for all of the details!

On February 13, 2017, two best friends—13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German—set out for a walk along the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana. They never returned. What began as a quiet afternoon in a small Midwestern town quickly spiraled into one of the most high-profile unsolved murder cases in recent American history. 5 years later, police would arrest a local man, Richard Allen and charge him with the murders. But many believe there is more to the story and this guy may not actually be the killer.

In this episode, we revisit the events of that day, the discovery that shocked the nation, and the now-infamous audio and video clip recovered from Libby’s phone—evidence that turned the entire country into amateur detectives. We’ll talk through the investigations, suspects, theories, the trial of Richard Allen and the questions that still remain eight years later. Listen now for all of the details!

Robert Maudsley is one of Britain’s most infamous and dangerous inmates. From a childhood marred by relentless abuse to a series of gruesome murders, Maudsley's life is a dark exploration of trauma, revenge, and justice. We look at how his early suffering shaped his violent path, earning him the chilling nicknames "Hannibal the Cannibal" and "The Brain Eater," despite false reports of cannibalism.

Robert became a serial killer behind bars. We discuss the four murders and explore the extreme measures taken to contain him—solitary confinement in a specially designed glass cell for over 46 years. Does prolonged isolation serve justice, or is it another layer of cruelty?

Join us as we dissect the mind and legacy of Robert Maudsley, a man whose story forces us to confront the thin line between justice and vengeance.
