1/01/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
Ari Squire was a successful businessman, living comfortably with his wife, Denise, in their upscale Lake Barrington, IL home. By all accounts it was a great life but in Feb 2008, it would all change. What followed a horrible accident was a puzzling investigation marked by unanswered questions, strange coincidences, and a trail of clues that never quite added up. As loved ones searched for answers, authorities were left trying to determine whether Ari was the victim of a tragic accident—or something far more complicated.

Shootin' The Shit For All | 186
12/25/2025 | 1h 7 mins.
In light of the holiday season, we're switching things up with what we call a "shootin' the shit" episode. We occasionally do these for a Patreon subscribers but today we're doing it for everyone because, honestly, I (Rebecca) couldn't get my shit together with my chemo and holiday schedule (I threw in Chemo so no one can be mad at me). Today we talk about the tragic death of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer; Joran Van Der Sloot's attempt to better the world, and read a creepy reddit story as well as a HILARIOUS one. Next week we'll will be back with normal eps, I swear.

Gary Krueger | 185

In 2010, police found the body of 62-year-old Gary Krueger in Lake Washington. It was ruled a drowning, and perhaps it was, but little did Seattle Police know, this drowning would solve the cold case of Mike Emert, the McAllister family home invasion, and 3 unsolved murders from the 80s. This one is twisty and even Sylvia Browne is involved!

Stephanie Parze | 184
12/11/2025 | 1h 19 mins.
The Parze family is very well-known within their Freehold Township, NJ community. Not only are they social and outgoing but their real claim to fame is the over-the-top Christmas display (even gaining national attention in 2014). As the holidays quickly approached in 2019, Sharlene Parze thought it would be fun to take all 4 of their daughters to a live medium/psychic show. It was an exciting night until the psychic gave them an ominous prediction about the future. It was a reading that no one understood...until the very next day Produced by Jacob Hollabaugh Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, check out our website for merch, and follow us on TikTok, Instagram & YouTube Sponsor Links / Promo Codes - AquaTru: Use code WORST for 20% off - Better Help: Visit BetterHelp.com/peoplearetheworst to get 10% off your first month - Cozy Earth: use discount code PATW - Factor Meals: factormeals.com/worst50off use code worst50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month - Force Factor: Visit forcefactor.com/pages/PEOPLE - Happy Mammoth: Use code THEWORST for 15% off your first order - HelloFresh: Visit hellofresh.com/worst10fm for 10 free meals + free breakfast for life - HoneyLove: visit honeylove.com/theworst for 20% off - Lumi: Use code WORST for 30% off - Mood: Use code THEWORST for 20% off your first order. - Quince: Visit Quince.com/theworst for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order - Uncommon Goods: Visit UncommonGoods.com/PATW for 15% off - ZocDoc: ZocDoc.com/worst Learn more about your ad choices.

Ezra McCandless and W&C | 183
12/04/2025 | 1h 17 mins.
In this very special episode, we collaborate with Women & Crime to discuss the case of Ezra McCandless. In 2018, an 89-year-old dairy farmer in Wisconsin was sitting down for dinner when there was banging on his front door. He opened it to find 19-year-old Ezra McCandless bloodied, bruised, and panicking after escaping an attack. Most bizarre, the word "BOY" was carved into her arm... What happened? A special thank you to Meghan & Amy with Women and Crime podcast. Listen to them on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.
