True Dat

Dennis Rader was a family man; active in his local church and community in Wichita. Over the years, his rigidity, odd behavior, and nasty temper caused suspicion among neighbors. And they were right, something was up. But it wasn't until Rader branded himself as 'BTK' (Bind, Torture, Kill) in a pathetic effort to get attention for his disturbing, sexually-motivated murders, that Rader fully committed to his double life. Being a serial killer is exhausting though, which he soon found out after having children, and took a bit of a hiatus. This hiatus ended in the early 90s, but Rader still wasn't satisfied. He continued to taunt law enforcement and the public for attention. He got sloppy and with the help of familial DNA, was finally caught in 2005 after taking 10 innocent lives. He's now serving multiple life sentences without a shred of remorse.

This year, during museum hours, robbers entered the Louvre and in 7 minutes, left with $100M worth of crown jewels. The heist shocked the world because of how brazen it was - the thieves blended in plain sight, descended out of a window down a construction ladder, and fled on motorcycles. With heightened security and DNA, it's not likely someone could get away with such a crime these days. That being said, these risky art and jewel heists are nothing new. Na'im and Xia cover some of the most infamous cases - from the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, to the Isabella Gardner Museum in 1990, and finally, the $1B jewel heist in Germany in 2019. They also discuss what these crimes symbolize culturally, and who has the right to own a piece of history. Since the recording of this episode, all four suspects of the recent Louvre heist have been taken into custody.

This week on a very special episode of True Dat, we have legendary comedian Jim Norton in the house! He, Xia, and Na'im discuss Aleister Crowley - an English occultist who earned the reputation of being 'the wickedest man in the world' in the early 20th century. Although Crowley was never convicted of a specific crime, his bisexuality, prolific drug use, and ties to the occult were enough to send tabloids in a frenzy at the time. Some suspected Crowley was a spy for the British government during WWI, while others thought he was simply a devil worshipper. Eventually, Crowley started a commune in Sicily, where he was kicked out by Mussolini for lewd behavior -- one man died on Crowley's property, and it's said his cult was making animal sacrifices. No wonder Ozzy Osbourne wrote a song about him!

Sexual misconduct in schools is nothing new, and while the majority of perps are male, there seems to be a growing number of female teachers who have been making headlines for similar offenses. Perhaps the most well-recognized case that exemplifies this trend is that of Mary Kay Letourneau, who groomed and eventually married her 12 year old student, but there have been several, more recent examples since. Na'im and Xia discuss gender differences at play in these situations, the unfair power dynamics, as well as potential mental impacts the abuse has on victims.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?

The case JonBenét Ramsey is considered by many to be the biggest unsolved murder in contemporary American history. In the 90s, her face was on the cover of every tabloid on the supermarket checkout line. The public, demanding justice, blamed the Ramsey parents for her death and subsequently dragged the family through the mud. There are a few theories on who hurt JonBenét that continue to circulate, but one thing is clear: the police need to test and retest DNA samples using forensic genealogy before it's too late.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Three days after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2024, the bodies of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington were found frozen in the backyard of their friend Joran Willis' house. While their deaths were certainly suspicious, there was no evidence of foul play - though the internet was ripe with theories at the time. It wasn't until the toxicology report revealed that the men overdosed on cocaine and fentanyl, that Willis and his drug dealer were charged.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Episode 13 of True Dat features a special guest, comedian LeMaire Lee!! The trio covers the unbelievable story of Delimar Vera, a girl who was kidnapped from her burning home at just 10 days old by a distant relative and raised under a different name. While authorities concluded that the baby succumbed to the fire, her birth mother knew in her heart that something was wrong, and never stopped searching for her daughter. Six years later, at a family party, Delimar's mother sees a little girl who has an uncanny resemblance to her. Through some cunning detective work of her own, Delimar's mother's instincts are proven right, and the two are ultimately reunited.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enFollow LeMaire:https://www.instagram.com/lemairelee/?hl=enhttps://x.com/lemairelee?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Back in the day, if you were a young man who wanted to make a quick buck in Philly, word on the street was that you could go see 'Fast Eddie' AKA Ed Savitz. Savitz was a successful business man and well-known child predator who operated for decades in West Philadelphia, relatively unscathed. By the time he was caught, 'Fast Eddie' had developed a highly detailed system of abuse, evidenced by the thousands of photos he kept in a storage unit, along with hundreds of garbage bags of his victim's undergarments.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__aliWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.
