    RIP Mahbod Moghadam

    RIP Mahbod Moghadam

    Zevon's dear friend, and a great freind of the show, Unicorn Tech Founder and larger-than-life impressario, Mahbod Moghadam has passed away.   On this episode Zevon talks about Mahbod, his life, their friendship, and who he REALLY was as a person (not just his headline-grabbing, sometimes-scandalous, online persona).  Then Kinda Murdery replays Mahbod's guest appearance from 2021 as they explore three different Kinda Murdery stories from Olancha,CA, including: "The Case of the Missing Body," "Steve Leslie Wilson," and finally "Super Human Pilot Peter Deleo."

    RIP Mahbod Moghadam you are so RAD and you are so MISSED.

    Hotel Houdini: The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim - PART TWO

    Hotel Houdini: The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim - PART TWO

    Within Private Detective Ken Brennan's mind, the image of the suspect was vivid and constant—an imposing figure moving through life with an air of untouchable confidence. This mental portrait of the suspect, casually interacting with potential victims while secure in the belief that his heinous acts were untraceable, fueled Brennan's resolve. The notion of the attacker, brazen and unrepentant, blending into the everyday while hiding in plain sight, propelled Brennan forward. It was this compelling image, and the desire to shatter the perpetrator's smug assurance of anonymity, that drove him to push the limits of his investigation, seeking justice in a case that had become far more than just another job...

    Follow Private Detective Ken Brennan on his hunt for "The Suitcase Rapist," in the thrilling conclusion of Kinda Murdery's, "HOTEL HOUDINI: The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim..."

    Hotel Houdini: The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim - PART ONE

    Hotel Houdini: The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim - PART ONE

    In the early hours of a chilly winter morning in 2005, a grim discovery marks the beginning of a perplexing case that would haunt the western edge of Miami. Amid the transition where the orderly outer suburbia surrenders to the wild embrace of the Everglades, with its towering grass and dark, unforgiving mud, a scene unfolds that seems almost too brutal, too out of place. A local power-company worker, navigating through the routine of his day, drives by the desolate expanse of an unbuilt cul-de-sac. It's here, amidst the weeds and solitude, that he spots something. A young woman, merely 21, with long blond curls, lies facedown. She's naked, her body battered, an undeniable signal of the violence she endured, discarded at the very threshold of civilization and wilderness...

    Father of the Bride?...The CIA Hitman's Daughter and the Murder of Gary Patterson w/ Anson Maddocks

    Father of the Bride?...The CIA Hitman's Daughter and the Murder of Gary Patterson w/ Anson Maddocks

    In the sweltering early summer heat of the El Paso County desert, a search had persisted for three grueling days. Leading the operation was a young female detective, now gripped by a sense of anticipation that often precedes a significant discovery in homicide investigations. She harbored a strong conviction: the victim's body was concealed somewhere close. After a year marred by frustration, misleading leads, and dead ends, she felt today would mark a pivotal turn. Today, they would uncover what they had been tirelessly searching for. The search team was a diverse assembly: dog teams sniffing for any trace, high-tech gear scanning the rugged terrain, and volunteers from both a local military base and a nearby prison. Among them, a veteran Texas Ranger stood out. It was he who stumbled upon the first clue—a human bone, seemingly disturbed and brought to the surface by animals. Following this, a weathered tennis shoe emerged, then another bone...

    Legendary Magic the Gathering artist Anson Maddocks returns (with some CRAZY stories about art theft and crafting with a human femur...) as Kinda Murdery investigates the murder of Gary Patterson...
