Diary of a Death Investigator

What secrets are hiding behind the doors of a Philadelphia home?
On Chew Avenue in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood, a house has become the center of a disturbing investigation. What began with the arrest of Eugene Horsch has reportedly led investigators down a much darker path—one involving an alleged fake DEA badge, a missing woman’s identity, and questions surrounding the property’s history.
With reports of more than a million pieces of digital evidence, possible connections to multiple missing women, and suspicions stretching back to a previous generation, the mystery surrounding the so-called Olney House of Horrors continues to grow.
Join Kelly and Amy as they dig into the Horsch family’s history, examine the court records of suspects, and separate what we know from continued speculation.
Because when it comes to the house on Chew Avenue, there’s a lot to chew on.
This is an ongoing investigation. Allegations discussed in this episode have not necessarily been proven in court.

OJ, But Hold the Pulp — Part 4: The Final Squeeze
The evidence has been presented. The arguments have been made. And now, it’s time for the jury to decide.
In the fourth and final installment of OJ, But Hold the Pulp, Kelly and Amy take listeners through the courtroom drama that captivated a nation, the verdict that shocked millions, and the civil trial that would bring an entirely different outcome.
From the prosecution’s case to the defense’s strategy, we revisit the evidence, the testimony, and the decisions that shaped one of the most controversial trials in American history.
But an acquittal in criminal court didn’t mean the legal battle was over.
With a different burden of proof and a new jury, the civil case brought another opportunity to examine the evidence surrounding the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Two trials. Two verdicts. One case that continues to spark debate more than three decades later.
The final chapter is here, and we’re squeezing out every last drop.

OJ, But Hold the Pulp — Part 3
The Bronco has been chased. O.J. Simpson is in custody. And now, the whole world is watching.
In Part 3, Kelly and Amy follow the case as it moves from the streets of Los Angeles into the courtroom — and one of the most famous criminal trials in American history begins.
The evidence. The defense. The prosecution. The media circus. And, yes… the glove.
After spending the first two episodes following the investigation as it unfolded, it’s finally time to look at how that evidence was presented, challenged, and picked apart in front of a jury — while millions of people watched from home.
We made it to the trial.
And there is a lot of pulp left in this glass.

OJ, But Hold the Pulp — Part 2
The crime scene has been discovered. OJ Simpson has been notified.  And the investigation is only beginning.
Join Kelly and Amy as they continue their deep dive into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, following the evidence as investigators begin piecing together what happened on the night of June 12, 1994.
The case that would eventually become a media spectacle is still, at this point, a murder investigation — and there is a lot to unpack before we ever get to the Bronco, the courtroom, or that glove.
What did investigators find? Where did the evidence lead? And which details would become far more important as the case unfolded?

Everyone remembers the Bronco. The glove. The courtroom. And a phrase that became part of pop-culture history.
But before The People v. O.J. Simpson, there were two victims, a crime scene, and a death investigation.
Join Kelly and Amy as they revisit the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman through the lens they know best: the evidence, the autopsies, the timeline, and the investigative decisions that helped shape one of the most infamous cases in American history.
They're separating what the evidence actually tells us from what decades of headlines, documentaries, conspiracy theories, and pop culture have added to the story.
