503: The Body in the Sand (from "Naming the Dead")

<div> The body of an unidentified young woman was found in the Arizona desert in August 1992. Over thirty years later, the incredible efforts of the forensic genealogists at the DNA Doe Project would identify her as Melody Harrison. But how they pieced together her story traces a puzzle that brought together long-lost relatives and shed light on a little known adoption program from post-WWII Germany.

502: The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson

<div> Moriah Wilson could do just about anything. As a kid she became a world-class skier, and then as an adult she became one of the best gravel bike racers in the world. In May of 2022, she was in Austin, Texas, for a race when she was brutally murdered in her friend's home. The investigation was swift and the killer was quickly identified BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT BECAUSE THIS INSANE PERSON STOLE A PASSPORT AND SKIPPED THE COUNTRY. An international manhunt ensued and because this person IS A COMPLETE IDIOT, they were caught. But then THEY ESCAPED AGAIN. Anyway, none of this is the point. Moriah's murder was tragic and senseless, but this is one of the best docs we've seen in a long time. Get ready to learn Moriah's story and keep the tissues close, fam!

500: TikTok Terror (from "Deadly Influence")

<div> On July 18, 2022, 29 year old Sania Kahn was gunned down in her Chicago apartment by her estranged husband. We...do not have the words for what a freaking BADASS Sania was. She was a photographer and influencer who shared with the world not just her incredible art, but also her struggles of being a first generation Pakistani-American woman trying to live up to the expectations of her parents while at the same time living our her dreams. This could have been a 49 part 274 hour long series based just on the number of friends who LINED UP to share stories of how wonderful and generous and hilarious AND TRULY LITERALLY BRILLIANT Sania was. We have nothing to say here about the piece of S**T killer who murdered her in her prime, so you'll have to listen to the episode to hear us scream about him there. Ugh. OK, we got this, fam!

499: Trainwreck: The Real Project X

<div> Merthe just wanted to throw herself a small "Sweet Sixteen" birthday party at her house, so she made an event on Facebook and invited her closest friends. What could go wrong? Well... she left her event marked "Public," and as details of the party spread, what was supposed to be a private party turned into a municipal crisis as thousands of party-goers threatened to descend on the party. Will the festivities turn into a riot? Will the Dutch town of Haren be overtaken by the revelers? And will the Night Mayor and the Day Mayor of the town ever agree on how to handle the situation?!?!?!Find and watch "Trainwreck: The Real Project X" on Netflix LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?
