Crime House 24/7

In the 1950s and 60s, at the height of the Cold War, the CIA launched a secret program called Operation Midnight Climax as part of its notorious MKUltra mind-control research. Operating out of safehouses in San Francisco and New York, agents used sex workers to lure unwitting men, then dosed them with LSD without their knowledge and observed the results through one-way mirrors. The goal was to study whether psychedelics could be weaponized for interrogation, coercion, and control. What unfolded was a chilling abuse of government power, hidden from the public for decades until investigations finally exposed it. In today's first episode of Conspiracies & the Unknown, Vanessa Richardson investigates Operation Midnight Climax, the Cold War paranoia that drove the CIA to experiment on its own citizens, and the disturbing legacy of a program that treated unsuspecting people as test subjects in the search for a mind-control weapon.And for more cases just like this one, be sure to check out the Crime House Original, Conspiracy Theories, Cults and Crimes.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!

After suspicion fell on Shrien Dewani in the murder of his wife, Anni, the case quickly expanded into an international legal battle over whether he would be extradited to South Africa to stand trial. As prosecutors worked to build their case, the question of what truly happened on the couple’s honeymoon became even more contested. In today's second episode of Justice Served, Carter Roy examines the fight over Dewani’s extradition, the courtroom proceedings that followed, and the testimony surrounding Anni’s killing. The prosecution argued that the attack had been carefully orchestrated, while the defense challenged the credibility of key witnesses and the deals made in exchange for their cooperation. As the case moved toward a verdict, it left behind deep uncertainty about the truth. More than a decade later, the murder of Anni Dewani remains one of the most debated and controversial international true crime cases.And for more cases just like this one, be sure to check out the Crime House Original, Murder: True Crime Stories.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!

In the third of our four-episode Campus Crimes limited series, Vanessa Richardson follows the events of the Friday after Thanksgiving 1969, when 22-year-old graduate student Betsy Aardsma was stabbed through the heart in the basement stacks of Penn State's Pattee Library, surrounded by people, in broad daylight, and dead within minutes.
