    Episode 482 takes us to Mountain Meadows, Utah Territory, 1857, where Arkansas emigrants accept safe passage under a white flag. The flag is a lie. A hundred and twenty dead, seventeen toddlers spared, and one man sitting on his coffin twenty years later, waiting for bullets his prophet won't share.

    Femme Fatale Ann O'Delia Diss Debar
    2026/05/08
    New York, 1888. Ann O'Delia Diss Debar — self-styled Spirit Princess, alleged daughter of Lola Montez — convinced a grieving Madison Avenue lawyer that Raphael and Rembrandt were painting for him in his own parlor. The paintings were chemical tricks. The deed to his townhouse was hers. And the worst of her career was still ahead.

    B. Gratz Brown — ex-senator, sitting governor, Vice-Presidential nominee of two parties at once — was handed the stage built to topple Grant's corruption and showed up drunk. He fainted at a New York rally, forgot his own policies, and buttered a watermelon at a campaign picnic. The reform ticket died. The Whiskey Ring kept pumping.

    American Scoundrel Stephen Wallace Dorsey
    2026/05/05
    Gilded Age Washington, 1876. Senator Stephen W. Dorsey and the Second Assistant Postmaster General ran a bid-rigging racket that bled the Post Office of millions — fake mail routes, real money. Two trials, two acquittals, one stolen castle on the New Mexico prairie. The jury said not guilty. The record disagrees.

    The Smuttynose Island Murders of 1873

    Jump To The AD-FREE Safe House Edition

    Episode 476 explores a case would become one of the most sensational crimes of the American Gilded Age. It would produce a manhunt, a near-lynching, a jail break, and a hanging, among other tropes. It would haunt the New England coast for a century and a half, and it haunts it still. But before it was any of those things, it was a story about people who crossed an ocean looking for a better life, and for a few short years, found one.
