Podbit · Crime, Conspiracy, Cults and Murder
Colin Strickland met Moriah Wilson at a gravel race in Idaho in 2021, and a brief romantic relationship followed just days after his split with Kaitlyn Armstrong. Mo didn't know Kaitlyn was still living in Colin's house. Kaitlyn found out, called Mo directly, and the obsession began.

Born in Livonia, Michigan, in 1987, Kaitlyn Armstrong built a life that looked deliberately assembled: mortgage lending at 19, a career spanning three continents, extended stays in Bali for breathwork and meditation, and a Sotheby's International Realty profile that projected confidence and achievement. She was remembered for her red hair voted 'Best' by her high school class. But beneath the polish was a loose thread — a misdemeanor warrant for getting $1,650 worth of Botox injected at an Austin med spa and simply walking out before paying, claiming she was going to her car for a different card. That warrant, seemingly trivial at the time, would later become the tool police used to bring her into an interrogation room. And in 2019, she matched with Colin Strickland on a dating app, and their relationship set everything else in motion.
Colin Strickland built one of cycling's most remarkable careers without a coach, a team, or a conventional path — he just kept winning. He swept four consecutive Red Hook Crit victories across four countries, broke the 10-hour barrier at Unbound Gravel, then turned down a WorldTour contract because he wasn't willing to let anyone else write his schedule.
Colin Strickland became the first person ever to finish the 200-mile Unbound Gravel race in under 10 hours, winning by more than 9 minutes.
A man used ChatGPT as a de facto lawyer, sharing self-incriminating details in his chats. When the transcripts were subpoenaed, the judge ruled no attorney-client privilege applied and admitted the chats as evidence against him. AI first passes are useful — treating AI as your counsel is dangerous.
CIA operative Edwin Wilson armed Muammar Gaddafi with 10,000 machine guns and 20 tons of C4 hidden in barrels of mud and flew them to Libya himself. He was sentenced to 52 years and served 12 in solitary. He was also a founder of the same arms network Oliver North contracted for the Contras.
Kim Dotcom's legal nightmare had nothing to do with copyright infringement. He donated to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange — and the US government charged him under RICO statutes, seeking 186 years in prison as payback.
More than a decade after his indictment, the US is still trying to extradite Kim Dotcom from New Zealand — even after he suffered a stroke. He cannot be convinced the authorities are on his side; only the legal process, run by his lawyers, keeps him free.
The illegal wildlife trade and the drug trade aren't just parallel industries — they actively overlap. Smugglers force-fed cocaine to boa constrictors to evade customs, packed drugs beneath layers of live animals in crates with spitting cobras on top, and exploited the chronic under-resourcing of US Fish and Wildlife inspection teams.
Mario Tabraue was sentenced to over 100 years in prison for murder and drug trafficking. He served 12. Nobody — not even the DEA agent who put him there — knows why he got out. That agent, Larry Lovelace, now lives in rural West Virginia with a gun within reach every night, still expecting retaliation.
Anson Wong from Malaysia was the Pablo Escobar of the global reptile trade, supplying rare animals — including Komodo dragons — to buyers across the world. He was caught in a sting, extradited to the US, and served the longest wildlife crime sentence at the time. The animals seized from him went on to stock some of America's biggest zoos.
Zelig Williams landed a role in Hamilton at just 19 while still in college — a rare achievement in a world where most Broadway dreams die young. By 28 he was a veteran ready to mentor the next generation, until he disappeared without a trace on October 3, 2024.
Season 5 of Dateline: Missing in America brings six new unsolved mysteries. The show is explicitly asking listeners to engage — because a detail someone remembers might be the break investigators need.
