from Coffeehouse Crime · host Coffeehouse Crime

He was brilliant. He was a scientist with a near-superhuman IQ. He believed his intellect made him immune to capture. He was wrong.In this episode, I bring you the fascinating true crime story of a 197IQ scientist who used his genius to plan a murder — and then made a stupid mistake that sent him to prison. From elaborate schemes undone by a single oversight to the hubris that blinded him to his own flaws, this case proves that intelligence does not equal wisdom. Based on real police reports, court transcripts, and forensic evidence, this is a gripping deep dive into the downfall of a man who thought he was too smart to get caught. Perfect for true crime enthusiasts, criminal psychology fans, and anyone who loves watching arrogance meet reality. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because even geniuses bleed.
