🔪 E | 155 — The Devil's Checkmate ( BONUS) In this bonus episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio and Branden Morgan sit down to unpack the disturbing, decades-long mystery behind the disappearance and murder of Mike Williams. They revisit the original episode and go deeper into the investigation — how a simple duck-hunting trip turned into one of Florida’s most confounding cold cases. Carolyn reveals what shocked her most about the confession that finally broke the case open, and Branden explores the psychology behind premeditation, cover-up, and the lengths people go to for greed and control. It’s an inside look at the making of the episode — the research, the aftermath, and the haunting truth that even in real life, evil rarely looks like what you expect. 🎧 Listen now to Criminal Mischief — available wherever you get your podcasts. ⚖️ From the Evio Network Explore the rest of the Evio Creative slate — where truth, myth, and madness intersect: • 👹 The Devil Within — True crime and the supernatural collide. • 🏺 Taboo Treasures — History’s most forbidden relics. • ⚔️ The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the turning points of history. • 💀 The Devil’s Ledger — Your weekly wrap-up from the underworld. • 🔪 Criminal Mischief — Because every crime starts with a plan.
