Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover Steven Pladl! In 1998, Steven and his wife put their infant daughter up for adoption, and a family in New York raised her as Katie Fusco. Eighteen years later, after she turned 18, Katie reached out to her biological parents and moved in with them. Within months Steven left his wife, and what developed between him and Katie is the reason this case exists. They married in 2017, lying on the paperwork about being related. They had a son. They were arrested for incest in early 2018 once it all came to light. Tonight we get into how it happened, the abuse in Steven's past, and the bond decision that left him on the street.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! First, a downed US F-15 pilot, rescued after being shot down over Iran back in April, told intelligence officials he saw something strange before he ejected: multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish. Then, a Cornell paper that figured out why AI chatbots, when asked to write a story, keep inventing the same character. His name is Elias Thorne, he's almost always a lighthouse keeper, and he shows up in two-thirds of all the stories these things generate. We'll get into where this tupla-like entity came from and why the machines can't stop summoning him.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we continue our series on Gary Ridgway! We start with the day a desperate task force flew down to Florida and sat across from Ted Bundy, who told them how a killer like this thinks, because he was one. Then the 1987 search that got them a sample they couldn't use yet. The task force shrinking down to one detective working it alone. And Gary just settling into a quiet third marriage while the whole thing went dormant.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! Back in December we covered the disappearance of Gretchen Fleming, last seen leaving the My Way Lounge in the early morning hours of December 4th, 2022, with the case stuck cold and a former cop named Preston Pierce as the named person of interest. Tonight we've got the updates. Human remains turned up in Wirt County, West Virginia in September 2025, and genetic testing confirmed they were Gretchen's. That ID opened the door, and we'll go over all the updates.
