With theories ranging from neighborhood dogs to Massachusetts coyotes, this episode explores the bizarre possibilities in a case where every detail matters.
What will the jury believe—and could a dog really hold the key to the truth?

Wendy Williams didn’t hold back during a rare interview on The Breakfast Club, where she addressed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mounting legal troubles, her personal experiences with the music mogul, and her ongoing fight for independence amid health challenges.
Host Charlamagne tha God revisited Williams’ controversial departure from Hot 97 in 1998, suggesting that Diddy played a role in her firing. Williams confirmed the speculation, stating, “Diddy will go to prison for life, people.”
“You don’t know things I knew about Diddy back in the day,” she continued. “And you want to know what? It’s about time, people, it is about time. Diddy done.”
Williams did not elaborate further on what she claimed to know about Combs, but her comments added to the growing discourse surrounding the embattled music mogul.
Combs, who was arrested in September on sex-trafficking charges, has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail awaiting trial, which is set to begin May 5. In addition to the criminal charges, Combs faces dozens of lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, including a new claim that he drugged and raped a 16-year-old girl in 2000.
In response to the allegations, Combs’ legal team has denied any wrongdoing. “No amount of lawsuits against our client will change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex-trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” his lawyers said in a statement to Rolling Stone.
Williams’ history with Combs dates back decades. In her 2004 book The Wendy Williams Experience, she alleged that Combs tried to sabotage her career during her tenure at Hot 97. Speaking to New York magazine in 2005, Williams said it was her “belief” that Combs played a role in her dismissal, referencing rumors she had spread about his sexuality.
Following Combs’ recent arrest, Williams claimed vindication. “Multiple people told me I called it,” she told the Daily Mail in November. She also criticized footage from 2016 that appeared to show Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible,” she said.
During the interview, Williams also opened up about her own struggles. Her TV show was canceled in 2022 following a series of health-related absences. She has since been placed under guardianship and was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. However, Williams remains defiant, telling The Breakfast Club, “I feel like I’m in prison. I’m not cognitively impaired.”
Her remarks sparked both support and controversy, adding another chapter to the ongoing saga of two public figures navigating turmoil.

Lawyers for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, have filed a motion to partially lift the "veil of secrecy" surrounding the high-profile case. The defense team aims to make public records related to DNA evidence and investigative genetic genealogy techniques used by law enforcement.
“This matter is of utmost importance to Mr. Kohberger’s right to a public hearing,” attorney Elisa Massoth wrote in a court filing Thursday. "Holding the hearing in open court will not prejudice the parties, and this should be held in open court."
Kohberger, who was a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Prosecutors allege that on November 13, 2022, he broke into an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, and fatally stabbed Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.
Following a six-week investigation, Kohberger was arrested on December 30, 2022, at his family’s home in Pennsylvania. The case garnered national and international attention, with significant public interest in the methods used to identify him as a suspect.
Central to the defense’s motion is the controversial use of investigative genetic genealogy, which law enforcement employed to link Kohberger to the crime. This method involves building a "family tree" using publicly available DNA databases to identify potential suspects. Prosecutors allege that Kohberger’s DNA, found on a knife sheath at the crime scene, matched a cheek swab collected after his arrest.
Kohberger’s legal team contests the validity of the genetic genealogy process, calling it unconstitutional and claiming that the DNA evidence was "illegally gathered." They are requesting that the court suppress this evidence, arguing it should not be presented to the jury in the death penalty trial set for August.
Massoth emphasized the importance of transparency in the case, stating, “Due to national and international attention to this case, and in the interest of protecting Mr. Kohberger’s right to a fair trial, many pleadings in this case have been sealed.” She added that both Kohberger and the public have a “right to know how genetic information was used in this case.”
Two critical hearings are scheduled in the coming days. On January 23, a pretrial hearing will address unresolved evidentiary issues, including the DNA dispute. Before that, a closed-door session will determine whether the request to disclose genetic genealogy materials will proceed.
“In addition to Mr. Kohberger’s right to a public trial, the public has a First Amendment right to know what goes on in its courts,” Massoth stated in the filing.
Prosecutors argue that the genetic genealogy process provided a significant lead in identifying Kohberger and connecting him to the crime scene. They assert that the DNA evidence, a "statistical match," is a key component of their case.
As the legal battle over the admissibility and transparency of this evidence continues, the court’s decision could have far-reaching implications for the trial and for the use of genetic genealogy in criminal investigations.

What happens when one man’s unchecked ego collides with a justice system teetering on his every whim? The allegations surrounding Michael Proctor, a now-sidelined investigator with a questionable legacy, might hold the answer. From alleged case tampering to creating ripple effects of mistrust and appeals, Proctor's involvement in high-profile cases like Karen Read, Sandra Birchmore, and others raises glaring questions about the integrity of justice itself.
Could his alleged habit of "playing God" with evidence and investigations be a symptom of unchecked power, or was he just a man cutting corners in pursuit of what he thought was justice? As disciplinary hearings loom, we’re left with a chilling thought: How many lives have been irreparably altered by one individual’s need to pull the strings? And more importantly, will those strings ever be fully untangled?

Did Karen Read’s alleged involvement in the case hinge on a conspiracy too wild to believe—or just wild enough?
In this episode, defense attorney Bob Motta pulls no punches as he breaks down the complexities of the case. From the defense's bold attempt to paint a narrative filled with smoke and mirrors to the state's theory that seems equally shaky, it's a battle of plausible explanations versus improbable leaps. Was this a tragic accident involving ice, alcohol, and bad luck, or is there something more sinister lurking in the shadows? The defense has convinced a crowd of skeptics, but will it be enough for 12 jurors?
And let’s be real—if you were drunk, in the dark, and there was a fire hydrant nearby, would you notice much of anything at all?

What happens when a family adopts a child, only to question if she's actually an adult with sinister motives? The Natalia Grace saga dives into this chilling premise, unraveling a story fraught with alleged abuse, manipulation, and a cascade of jaw-dropping twists. From Ukrainian orphan to supposed 22-year-old con artist, Natalia's journey leads her through multiple families, including one that allegedly prioritized financial gain over her well-being.
As the final chapter unfolds, unsettling truths emerge about the role of the foster system, religion, and even the media in her life. Were the Barnetts' accusations justified? Did the 'cult-like' behavior of the Manses exploit her further? And what about the cameras—did the spotlight help or hurt Natalia in her search for a normal life?
In a case that’s as convoluted as it is heartbreaking, the real question remains: was Natalia Grace a victim, a villain, or both?

Lawyers for Sean 'Diddy' Combs are taking aim at the prosecution’s narrative in the high-profile sex trafficking case against the hip-hop mogul, calling it "sexist and puritanical." In a letter to a Manhattan federal judge, the defense team argued that nine key video recordings allegedly proving the charges depict consensual adult activities and not criminal acts.
"Any fair-minded viewer of the videos will quickly conclude that the prosecution of Mr. Combs is both sexist and puritanical," the lawyers wrote, asserting that the government's case perpetuates "stereotypes of female victimhood and lack of agency."
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges stemming from allegations that he organized "elaborate and produced sex performances" referred to as "Freak Offs." Prosecutors allege these encounters were orchestrated by Combs, involved male sex workers, and were accompanied by drug use to "keep the victims obedient and compliant."
The indictment describes "Freak Offs" as events lasting days, with participants drugged, recorded, and provided with items like baby oil and lubricant—over 1,000 bottles of which were allegedly found during raids of Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes.
Combs’ legal team challenges this portrayal, stating that the nine videos, supplied by a woman identified as "Victim-1," depict consensual and voluntary interactions.
"In all six of these encounters," the lawyers wrote, "Victim-1 is not only consenting; she is evidently happy, dominant, and completely in control." They emphasized that the recordings show no signs of violence, coercion, or incapacitation.
The defense also argued that the videos lack evidence of orgies, minors, or the involvement of other celebrities, countering claims that the events were exploitative.
The legal team criticized the government for allegedly policing "non-conforming sexual activity" and assuming that "a woman's willing participation must have been coerced."
Combs has been held without bail since his September arrest, with multiple judges denying his release. His trial is scheduled for May 5.
Defense lawyers are requesting further access to the videos, noting that they’ve only been allowed to review them twice over the past two months. They contend that the recordings, described as "quite dark and grainy," require expert analysis to enhance the quality and verify metadata.
The prosecution has not commented on the defense’s recent submission.
Combs’ attorneys argue that the government's portrayal depends on characterizing the sex performances as "dirty, disgusting, or inherently unsavory." They maintain that the evidence contradicts the prosecution’s claims of trafficking and coercion, portraying their client as a target of overreach and societal bias.

In a highly anticipated revelation, R&B singer Al B. Sure! speaks out for the first time about Sean "Diddy" Combs in the new Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The "Nite and Day" artist shares shocking claims, including allegations about Diddy's behavior, his ex Kim Porter’s fears, and the broader music industry's hidden dangers.
“For the record, I received more than 40 inquiries from production companies and networks since brother Sean’s incarceration,” Al B. Sure! explains in the film. “I decided to speak out because I owe it to the late Kim Porter to share the truth.”
Al B. Sure! and Porter, the biological parents of actor and musician Quincy Brown, maintained a close relationship even after their romantic involvement ended. Porter later dated Diddy, with whom she had three children.
Porter, a model and former Uptown Records colleague of Diddy, reportedly confided in Al B. Sure! about her growing unease regarding the music mogul. “She did say that something’s not right. His soul was going completely dark, like he’s just not there,” Al B. Sure! shares. He claims Porter made him promise, on their son Quincy’s life, not to disclose what she revealed, fearing for his safety.
The singer-songwriter also alleges Porter kept detailed notes about her experiences with Diddy. “She was keeping a diary and things of that nature. Someone got the passcode to her phone and computer and found out she was writing what was going on behind closed doors,” he says.
Porter tragically passed away in 2018 at 47 years old. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office determined her death resulted from lobar pneumonia, but Al B. Sure! disputes this. “That’s just a day that will never, ever leave my mind. And just that empty feeling of like, ‘Nah, something is not right with this.’”
The documentary delves into broader accusations, with Al B. Sure! hinting at sinister patterns within the music industry. “Let’s just say there’s a lot to uncover, a lot that goes on in the industry, which is not my job to uncover. But it’s something that’s been going on, and those who speak about it usually meet their demise.”
In response, Diddy’s legal team categorically denied all allegations presented in the documentary. “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months. It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind,” they stated to Extra.
Al B. Sure! also recounts his own near-death experience in 2020, alleging foul play. “I was in a coma, having multi-system organ failure. Every organ is working off of a machine, except for the liver,” he reveals. The singer suggests someone attempted to take his life. “I kept a record of every single one of you who was sent to set me up, to assist in the attempted murder of Al B. Sure!”
Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, faces federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and awaits trial in May 2025.
Al B. Sure!'s revelations come as a significant addition to the ongoing conversation surrounding Diddy, shedding light on alleged misconduct and raising questions about the treatment of those who dare to speak out in the entertainment industry.

On Monday, 24-year-old Joshua Nareau pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in the death of his grandfather, 71-year-old James S. Khoury. Circuit Judge Shannon H. McFee sentenced Nareau to 246 years in prison, which works out to 20 1/2 years, with credit for time served, court records show.
At his grandfather’s funeral, Nareau spoke as if he wasn’t the one responsible for his grandfather’s death. He took the microphone at the podium and took a deep breath.
“Jim, I called him Grampy, by blood he was my grandfather, as a person he was my father. He helped raise me. He made me the person I am today,” he said to the crowd of mourners. “You are all here because you knew and loved my grandfather and I thank you so much for that. My goal in life is to be as good as this man was. He helped everyone in this room in some way and I know that.”
Khoury was a beloved deacon at the First Baptist Church of North Port.
On Dec. 28, 2023 at 5 a.m., Khoury’s wife called 911 to say her husband had been shot. Deputies arrived to find Khoury in front of his home, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He had a gun holstered to his hip. His lunch box lay next to him. Paramedics arrived and pronounced Khoury dead.
While deputies searched the scene, they saw Nareau sitting in the grass beside the home. Nareau told deputies his grandmother called him after the shooting and he rushed from his home which is a few hundred yards away, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit.
Khoury’s wife in an interview with detectives said she gave her husband a kiss before he walked out the door. Seconds after he walked outside, she heard a gunshot and her husband called out for her. She ran out and heard him fall. She saw a gunshot wound to his chest and “knew he was dead,” the affidavit said. Fearing for her safety, she rushed back inside and called 911. She mentioned to deputies her husband told her the day before that he heard a gunshot while driving to work but did not notice anything else out of the ordinary.
She said she called Nareau after the shooting. Nareau told deputies he was in bed when his grandmother called him and he quickly dressed and ran over. He also said she told him there may be a sniper outside. Detectives noted in the affidavit that Khoury’s wife never mentioned anything about a sniper. He also allegedly said he did not hear any shots or see anyone else in the area.
Investigators later found a projectile in a large pine tree which suggested the shooter was on the south side of the home. It’s also the location where Nareau would have come from to get to his grandparents’ house, deputies said.
A download of Nareau’s phone showed his grandma had indeed called him after the shooting. But data also showed that he had walked several hundred meters around the time of the shooting, which is roughly the distance to his grandparent’s residence and back, the affidavit said. The activity occurred when he told deputies he had been in bed and before his grandma called him. Detectives confronted Nareau about this, but he again claimed he was in bed and “didn’t know” why the cellphone data would say otherwise, according to the affidavit.
An analysis of the projectile found in the tree showed it could have come from a “Savage” bolt-action rifle that Nareau owns. On Feb. 14, the lab results confirmed the projectile came from Nareau’s rifle, the affidavit said. Detectives did not give a motive for the shooting.
“I am glad to finally be able to bring an update to you on this terrible incident. As you can see, even though we were not able to share much with you, my detectives and forensics team did a great job and we had a direction for the investigation and ultimately got the person responsible,” Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell said in a statement. “This does not make it any easier for the family of the victim, who now have even more grief to cope with, but I hope it brings peace of mind to the community once more. Please pray for Mr. Khoury’s family as they navigate this unthinkable situation.”

What happens when a case involving a tragic death takes a sharp detour into allegations of conspiracy, questionable police conduct, and deep-seated bias? Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to dissect the tangled web surrounding the Karen Read trial. With Michael Proctor's controversial history now in the spotlight, from alleged tunnel vision to connections with other high-profile cases like Sandra Birchmore's, how will this impact round two of the trial?
The discussion unravels how Proctor's reputation might stain the prosecution's case and why the defense strategy could hinge on this shadowy figure. Can the jury navigate through layers of alleged corruption, small-town relationships, and a defense theory that toes the line between plausible and sensational? Or are we simply watching the gears of justice grind through a case destined for another hung jury?
And in a trial where every move could sway public opinion, whose approach will ultimately prevail: a defense looking to reshape its narrative or a prosecution aiming to control the chaos?

What really happened on that icy, fateful night? Did Karen Read’s alleged actions lead to a tragic accident, or is the story far murkier than anyone expected? As expert witnesses clash over "dog bites" and "inexplicable wounds," the courtroom feels more like a battlefield of half-truths and unproven theories. From strange pig DNA to coyotes lurking in the woods, the evidence piles up but seems only to deepen the mystery. And what about the controversial investigator whose credibility has become a trial of its own? With so many questions and no clear answers, one thing is certain—this case has more twists than a thriller novel. But will we ever really know the truth?
