Juicy Crimes with Heather McDonald

Darvo, Denise Richards, & Decoding Courtroom Lies with Michele Locke

I sit down with former family law judge and Texas attorney Michele Locke to unpack the wild, high-stakes world where love and marriage crash headfirst into the legal system. Michele gives us the raw truth about Texas's unique family law jury trials, the rise of OnlyFans content being weaponized in custody battles, and how to spot a master manipulator using the "DARVO" tactic, as seen in the toxic relationship dynamics of Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers. From ring cameras catching cheating spouses red-handed to a mind-blowing case involving a fake twin pregnancy and an AI fairy girlfriend, we cover the digital evidence changing the game and share the ultimate advice on when it's time to just "buy your peace". -Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

Maternal Instincts: Deconstructing the Netflix Doc and Why Women Fake Pregnancies & Cancer

I am joined today by true crime expert Dani Lyles from "Crime Doc Dani"! We dive deep into the unsettling world of pathological liars and the terrifying extremes of female deception. We break down the chilling Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct, analyzing how Taylor Parker's elaborate web of lies escalates to the horrific murder of Reagan Hancock to steal her unborn baby. We also draw fascinating, eerie parallels to other shocking cases, including the heartbreaking mother-daughter plot against Marlene Ochoa-Lopez in Chicago, the tragic betrayal of Heidi Broussard by her lifelong friend Megan Fieramusca, and the massive financial deception of Amanda Riley in the hit podcast Scamanda. It is an eye-opening, jaw-dropping episode exploring the ultimate masks of manipulation, faking pregnancies and cancer just to control the narrative. -Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

The Crazy New Amnesia Documentary, Party Mom Gets 35 yrs with Shannon McDonald Goldstein

Get ready for an absolutely wild and shocking ride because my sister, criminal defense attorney Shannon Goldstein, is back in the studio for another unforgettable episode of Juicy Crimes! We dive headfirst into the deeply disturbing case of Northern California's "party mom," Shannon Marie O'Connor, an affluent mother who completely shattered a community's trust by hosting alcohol-fueled teenage parties that led to horrifying grooming and facilitated sexual assault. Shannon gives us her expert legal take on how this woman managed to get a stunning 35-year sentence, even out-sentencing Jeffrey Epstein, and we unpack how her bizarre thirst for control led her to continue targeting minors even after fleeing to Idaho. Plus, we are breaking down the absolute fraud of the new HBO Max docuseries about Benjamin Kyle, a man found naked behind a Burger King who successfully faked amnesia for over a decade. From helicopter parenting gone criminally wrong to lazy investigators getting played by a chameleon, you do not want to miss this juicy breakdown!
