Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast

A luxury apartment in Miami, a high-profile OnlyFans model, and a 911 call where she pleads for help after her boyfriend has been stabbed. But was it a clear case of self-defense, or was it cold-blooded murder? The story of Courtney Clenney and Christian Obumseli is a tangled web of toxic love, public fights, and shocking evidence that will make you question everything you think you know.

In this episode, we unravel the volatile relationship between the social media influencer and her boyfriend, and the tragic night that ended in Christian's death. We'll examine the evidence, from the secret recordings Christian made to the controversial elevator surveillance footage, and the ongoing legal battle that has captivated the public.

What happens when a suburban love affair turns deadly? When the prosecution's star witness is also negotiating a Netflix deal from her jail cell?On February 24, 2023, Christine Banfield, a beloved pediatric ICU nurse, was found dead in her Fairfax County, Virginia home.

Also dead: Joseph Ryan, a man Christine had allegedly been communicating with online about violent fantasies.

But prosecutors say Christine never sent those messages. They say her husband Brendan Banfield and their au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães were having an affair, and instead of getting a divorce, they hatched a plan to kill Christine and stage it as a home invasion gone wrong.

In this episode, we break down the first four days of Brendan Banfield's murder trial, including Juliana's explosive testimony as the prosecution's star witness. We cover the fake online persona created to lure Joseph Ryan, the forensic evidence pointing to a staged crime scene, jailhouse love letters, and why Juliana is negotiating a Netflix deal while testifying.

In the summer of 1999, 17-year-olds J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett took a wrong turn on their way to a party and ended up in Ozark, Alabama. After a frantic call to Tracie's mom from a gas station payphone, the two girls vanished.

The next morning, their bodies were discovered in the trunk of J.B.'s car, each with a single gunshot wound to the head. The case went cold for nearly two decades until a breakthrough in genetic genealogy led investigators to a shocking suspect: a man who had been living a seemingly normal life in their own community.
