Pamela Colloff, reporter for ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, joins the show to discuss her debut book, Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast (Knopf). The book examines Paul Skalnik, a con man and jailhouse informant whose testimony helped convict dozens of people, including James Dailey, a Vietnam veteran sent to death row for a 1985 murder despite the absence of physical evidence against him. Colloff discusses how she found the story, her own experience being deceived by Skalnik during years of reporting, and what his case reveals about the use of jailhouse informants in the American justice system.   Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Herb Baumeister lived a quiet family life in a nine thousand square foot estate in Westfield, Indiana, while authorities believe he secretly targeted gay men at Indianapolis nightclubs during the 1990s, luring them back to his property where he killed them before dying by suicide in 1996. Director and executive producer Alex Jablonski returns for a second conversation, this time about the follow up to the Emmy nominated docuseries The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer. The new special, Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets, streams July 8 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, and explores efforts to identify additional victims along with emerging questions about potential accomplices, missing evidence, and witness accounts that have shifted over time, including the story of Roger Goodlet, whose disappearance led investigators to Baumeister, and new scrutiny of Thomas Ackerman's connection to the case.      Reality Life with Kate Casey Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After twenty-six years in the Coast Guard and a hard-earned retirement in a Margaritaville-branded community in Daytona Beach, Florida, Emily thought her next chapter was set. Then she noticed her husband's niece had vanished from his brother's Facebook page. What followed was a discovery that the seven-month-old had been placed in Florida's foster care system, and the beginning of an eighteen month legal battle that included a three day custody trial, allegations of fraudulent adoption paperwork, and a fight against a state system that seemed determined to keep her with a foster caregiver rather than family.   Emily and her husband ultimately adopted both the niece and, months later, her newborn brother, becoming parents to two young children in their fifties after raising a son who is now thirty. Emily talks about the toll of the legal process, what she learned about family adoption cases in Florida, the isolation of feeling like her family was fighting the system alone, and what it has been like to parent toddlers as a retired Gen Xer, decades after raising her first child.     Reality Life with Kate Casey Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ruby Wrenn, co-host of Bad TV podcast, joins Kate to break down Million Dollar Nannies on Hulu.   Million Dollar Nannies (Hulu / Freeform) follows a group of eight young, elite nannies, including an ex-Kardashian-Jenner family nanny, a New York City "manny" with a social media following, and a professional dancer. They head to Ibiza to launch a luxury childcare agency catering to the world's wealthiest families. They're promised VIP clients, life-changing money, and a shot at building something bigger than any of them could do alone. But the competition for placements is cutthroat, the client expectations are absurd (text updates every twenty minutes, round-the-clock availability, strict NDAs), and personal drama and a scandal from the past threaten to blow the whole thing up before summer ends.   Now streaming on Hulu.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary?srsltid=AfmBOor1AVadYxDg9mPddfhreQOMcCE-M3FQtvB2IDV4jg5s9TFwJTo9See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At 38 years old, Katie Delimon opened a DNA test expecting to confirm what she'd always believed about her heritage. Instead, she discovered the man who raised her wasn't her biological father, and that the truth had been hiding in plain sight her entire life. A man her family called "the beach guy," someone she'd actually described as "creepy" in her first memoir, turned out to be her biological father. Both he and her mother had already passed away, leaving Katie with questions no one alive could fully answer. When she started making calls, the responses stunned her, one aunt admitted she'd known since Katie was four years old and never said a word.   Katie is a trauma-informed coach and keynote speaker. Her bestselling memoir is Trust the Flames.     Reality Life with Kate Casey Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hoyt Richards was one of the world's first male supermodels, a Princeton graduate and 1980s fixture in the pages of the biggest fashion magazines in the world. However, behind the glamour was a secret life he could barely explain to himself. At 16, he met a charismatic Manhattan socialite named Frederick von Mierers on a Nantucket beach, and what began as a mentorship slowly became something far more controlling: a New Age spiritual group called Eternal Values, built around von Mierers' claim that he was an alien reincarnated from the star Arcturus, sent to Earth to save a chosen few before the apocalypse. Hoyt lived a double life for over two decades, jet-setting by day, sleeping on a mat in von Mierers' apartment by night, before he finally walked away.    Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Zach Heinzerling, the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director behind Netflix's new four-part documentary series Rafa. The series follows Rafael Nadal across the final year of his career, from his 2024 return through his retirement, while reaching back across two decades to tell the fuller story of one of the most decorated and most physically punished athletes in the history of tennis. The series goes beyond the 22 Grand Slams and 14 French Open titles to reveal what it cost to win them: a rare, incurable foot condition called Müller-Weiss syndrome, diagnosed when Rafa was just nineteen; years of aggressive medical intervention that left him with perforated intestines; and a 2022 Roland Garros run played on a foot deadened by nerve-blocking injections. For the first time on camera, Rafa removes his sock and shows the foot itself — an image he had guarded from the public for twenty years.   The series also explores the formative role of his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal, whose tough-love methods shaped Rafa from the age of three; the anxiety and ritual beneath the on-court persona; and the rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that defined a generation, including the now-famous Laver Cup farewell where Rafa and Federer sat side by side and wept.   Featuring testimony from Federer, Djokovic, John McEnroe, and the family, coaches, and inner circle who have stood beside Nadal his entire career, Rafa is less a highlight reel than a portrait of a champion in negotiation with his own body — and an answer, or an attempt at one, to the question of why he kept playing long after that body told him to stop.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melissa and Kate first met when their sons played flag football together as kids. In this sobering episode, Melissa shares the terrifying story of how her 14-year-old son was approached by an older man on a public dock in Newport Beach in the middle of the day. Claiming he was suicidal, the man drew the teenager into an increasingly personal conversation, asked for his phone number, and later attempted to contact him again through text messages.   After investigating with the help of a local Nextdoor post and Megan’s Law records, Melissa discovered the man is a convicted violent sexual predator with a history involving kidnapping, lewd acts with a minor, and a stabbing that led to prison time. Melissa explains how she uncovered the truth, the emotional toll on her family, and why she wants other parents to understand how predators can manipulate young people through fear, sympathy, and emotional pressure—even in seemingly safe public places.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shannon and Eric Evangelista, and retired FBI Special Agent Ken Maxwell, discuss the two-night docuseries about a man found naked and injured behind a rural Georgia Burger King in August 2004, a man who couldn't remember his own name, and called himself "Benjaman Kyle."   What began as a mission to help Benjaman recover his identity became something far darker. Over more than a decade of reporting, filmmakers Shannon and Eric Evangelista watched the cracks in his story widen into a true crime labyrinth, three unsolved cold cases, a possible connection to a powerful Midwestern crime family, and escalating threats that ultimately put one of their own in danger.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the summer of 2023, two Utah teenagers barricaded themselves in an upstairs bedroom and livestreamed the standoff on TikTok for fifty-four days. Ty and Brynlee Larson were refusing a family court order that would have placed them in a reunification program with their father, Brent Larson, whom they had accused of sexual and emotional abuse, allegations he has consistently denied and was never criminally charged for.
