About this episode

Austin Picard and Jake Shields explore the disturbing connections between notorious criminals and systemic protection in society.

In this eye-opening episode, Austin Picard and Jake Shields dive deep into the disturbing connections between John Wayne Gacy's rise in the Jaycees (including meeting First Lady Rosalynn Carter), the Franklin Scandal, Paul Bonacci's testimony, and the 1987 Finders Cult arrests in Tallahassee. Discover how names like Alan Baer, Harold Stevenson, and John David Norman's clients appear across multiple cases, and why these overlaps suggest systemic protection at the highest levels. This is heavy but essential listening.
