Exposed: Scandalous Files of the Elite

In this emergency episode, Jim Chapman breaks down the newly released “enhanced” emergency call placed by friends as the boat they were on was sinking and explains why this enhanced version may be creating more misinformation in this case. 

On July 4, 2026, Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old Ocean Springs, Mississippi native and incoming freshman football player at Southwest Mississippi Community College, joined a group of friends for a boat trip to Horn Island, a wilderness barrier island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thousands of people were on the island that day. According to his friends, the boat began taking on water that afternoon. They say Nolan chose to stay behind talking to a young woman while they returned to the mainland. His phone made it back. He did not.

This special Monday episode is packed with some wild crime related stories. Rapper Boosie Badazz finds himself tangled up in a wild Trump pardon scam that’s raising more questions than answers. A Florida woman named Stephanie Perdue is convicted in a truly bizarre murder-for-hire plot that sounds like it was ripped from a bad movie.
Tempers flare hard at Taco Bell when one man’s rage boils over in spectacular fashion, while another woman completely loses it over a long wait time in a separate fast-food meltdown.  Online, the disturbing “Gooner” trend at Dollar Tree is producing some shocking new stats that have parents and shoppers on edge.
In this week’s True Crime Time Machine, we head back to the case that forever changed how America protects its children: the 1981 abduction and murder of Adam Walsh. Elsewhere, quick-thinking kids alert an adult just in time to stop an attempted drowning.  A former prosecutor is accused of repeatedly trying to poison people in a case that proves age is no barrier to alleged crime. Authorities finally catch a man on the most-wanted list after a jaw-dropping $600 million Medicare fraud scheme. And the son of the infamous Long Island Lolita is arrested in Florida, bringing a new chapter to a notorious family story.

This week on the show, the Nolan Wells case takes another dark turn as private autopsy results are released and raise even more questions. A man is sexually assaulted by two inmates inside East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. We take a quick detour for some completely unrelated Florida chaos involving risqué license plates that are turning heads across the state. A New Jersey doctor who’s been on the run for 20 years is finally captured… on a sailboat.A New York K-9 dies after being left in a hot vehicle.
Six cruise passengers get arrested mid-vacation for outstanding warrants. Then it’s time for Lustful Lawbreakers when a simple foot massage request goes sideways, and Foolish Felons when a woman stabs her friend in an Uber… over a beer. We close the main show with True Crime Time Machine: the murder of Michael Jordan’s father, plus an update on the Florida man who got sentenced alongside his vacuum cleaner. 
Then In Overtime:
We discuss Eagles star Saquan Barkley’s home is invaded. A Memphis mother is charged after shooting a man she found under her daughter’s bed. A Key Largo man hides a kidnapped girl in his dryer. And a hard lesson on why you should never hire your ex.

Once the flashy stars of the hit USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, Todd and Julie built a public image as self-made Southern millionaires living a lavish lifestyle filled with luxury cars, designer clothes, sprawling homes, and over-the-top family drama. But behind the cameras, federal prosecutors alleged a years-long scheme of bank fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy that defrauded banks out of more than $30 million.
Jim breaks it all down: their rise from real estate roots to TV stardom, the 2019 indictment, the high-profile 2022 trial and convictions, Todd's 12-year sentence and Julie's 7-year term, their time behind bars, and the relentless family fight for justice that culminated in President Donald Trump's full pardons in May 2025.
The real details of the alleged fraudulent loans, hidden TV income, the impact on their children—including Savannah's public advocacy—and what life looks like now for the Chrisley’s one year post-release.
