Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast

Tyler Nulisch loved his life in the Florida Keys, especially days on the water with his dog, Chief. At 30, he was restoring a boat and working toward starting a fishing charter business. He was also building a life with his girlfriend, Brittany Holbrook, though his longtime friends had begun to worry about what they were seeing in the relationship.
Early on June 17, 2023, the couple’s roommate woke to Brittany screaming for help. He found Tyler bleeding on the living room floor of their Big Coppitt Key home. Brittany initially said she could not remember what happened, but Tyler was still able to speak. What he told his roommate became central to the investigation.
In this episode, we follow Tyler’s life, the accounts his friends shared with detectives, and the evidence presented at Brittany’s 2025 murder trial. We also discuss her claim of self defense and the warning signs that people close to Tyler remembered after his death.

On July 17, 2020, Brandon Rollins, Keven Springfield, and Damion Tillman met near Lake Streety Road in Frostproof, Florida, for a night of fishing. Later that evening, Brandon called his father, Cyril Rollins, and pleaded for help. When Cyril arrived, he found all three friends had been shot.
A receipt left at the scene led investigators back to a Dollar General and surveillance footage from earlier that evening. As detectives pieced together the group’s movements, they focused on a dispute involving a truck engine, a remote road, and the evidence left behind after the shootings.
In this episode, we follow the Frostproof triple murder investigation, the years of delays that kept the victims’ families waiting, and the trial that finally took place in 2026. Tony “TJ” Wiggins was convicted of three counts of first degree murder and sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

In November 1928, Nelson Rehmeyer was killed inside his farmhouse in southern York County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer and a practitioner of powwowing, a Pennsylvania German healing tradition that used prayers, scripture, and folk remedies.

John Blymire believed a hex was responsible for years of illness, sleeplessness, and bad luck. After a woman told him Nelson was the person behind it, John became convinced that he needed Nelson’s copy of The Long Lost Friend or a lock of his hair to break the curse. He recruited 14 year old John Curry and 18 year old Wilbert Hess, and the three went to Nelson’s home looking for a way to end the supposed hex.

In this episode, we follow the murder at what became known as Hex Hollow, the beliefs and rumors surrounding the case, and the trials that followed. All three men were convicted of murder, but the story that survived in newspapers and local folklore often obscured the person Nelson was before his death.

On July 2, 2021, Krista Halderson did not show up for work. When a friend went to her Windsor, Wisconsin, home to check on her, Krista and her husband, Bart Halderson, were both gone, but their cars were still in the garage. Their son, Chandler Halderson, said they had left for the family cabin with friends, but he could not say who had taken them there.

As the holiday weekend passed, the cabin trip made less and less sense. Investigators found that Chandler’s story was only one part of a much larger pattern involving college records, a job he never had, a planned move to Florida, and a series of explanations that fell apart under scrutiny.

In this episode, we follow the disappearance of Bart and Krista, the evidence that led investigators to two separate locations, and the case that went to trial. Chandler was convicted in 2022 and is serving two life sentences without eligibility for release. His remaining convictions were affirmed on appeal, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined review in June 2026.

In the woods of northwest Georgia, Dr. Charles Lee Scudder and Joseph “Joey” Odom built an off grid home unlike anything their neighbors had seen. There was stained glass, a golden harp, a pink gargoyle, and a reputation that grew stranger with every rumor told about the place they called Corpsewood Manor.

On December 12, 1982, two men Charles and Joey had welcomed onto the property arrived with a plan to rob them. What happened next left Charles and Joey dead inside the home they had spent years building, sent two teenage witnesses fleeing in fear, and led to another murder across state lines.

In this episode, we follow the real story behind Corpsewood Manor, the rumors that surrounded it, and the violence that turned an unusual home in the Georgia woods into a lasting piece of true crime folklore.
