    Jailhouse interview with multiple murderer Paul Merhige
    Nov 2 2026
    On this episode, I speak with convicted multiple murderer Paul Merhige.

    Paul Michael Merhige is a Florida multiple murderer responsible for a deadly shooting that took place on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009, at a family gathering in Jupiter, Florida. During the celebration, Merhige left the residence, retrieved a firearm from his vehicle, and returned, opening fire on his relatives. Four family members were killed, including a six-year-old child, while two other relatives were wounded. Investigators discovered that Merhige had a history of hostility and violent behavior toward members of his family, with tensions reportedly extending back several years. The shooting appeared to be a planned attack rather than the result of an argument or sudden confrontation.

    Following the shootings, Merhige fled the scene, prompting a nationwide search and a manhunt that lasted more than five weeks. He was eventually captured on January 2, 2010, in the Florida Keys. Prosecutors initially pursued the death penalty, but in October 2011, Merhige pleaded guilty to the four murders in exchange for a sentence of seven consecutive life sentences, avoiding execution. The judge made it clear that Merhige would never be released from prison, effectively ensuring that he would spend the remainder of his life incarcerated.

  • The murder of Rebecca Schaeffer: Jailhouse interview with Robert Bardo

    The murder of Rebecca Schaeffer: Jailhouse interview with Robert Bardo
    Oct 19 2026
    In this episode of Unforbidden Truth, I sit down with Robert John Bardo, the man convicted of murdering 21-year-old actress Rebecca Schaeffer in 1989. Best known for her role on the television sitcom My Sister Sam, Schaeffer was a rising Hollywood star whose life was tragically cut short. Bardo's obsession with the actress ultimately led to her murder, a case that shocked the entertainment industry and brought national attention to the dangers of celebrity stalking.

    During this interview, Bardo discusses his life, his perspective on the events that led to his conviction, and his experiences living with the consequences of his actions. We take a closer look at the case, the investigation, and the lasting impact of Schaeffer's death, while exploring Bardo's reflections on his past and his life behind bars. This is a difficult conversation surrounding a case that changed the way stalking was viewed in America and left a lasting impact on the victim's family, friends, and countless others.

  • Jailhouse conversation with convicted murderer Tadaryl Shipp: Raw Live feed Part 2

    Jailhouse conversation with convicted murderer Tadaryl Shipp: Raw Live feed Part 2
    Jul 21 2026
    Christa Pike is an American woman convicted of a notorious 1995 murder in Tennessee. At 18, she became the youngest woman on death row in the United States. Pike, along with fellow Job Corps students, lured Colleen Slemmer to an isolated location where Pike carried out a prolonged and especially violent attack. The case gained widespread attention due to the brutality involved, including testimony that Pike kept a portion of the victim’s skull. She was ultimately convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, where she remains on Tennessee’s death row.

    Tadaryl Shipp and Shadolla Peterson were Pike’s co-defendants in the case. Both were present during the murder and were convicted for their roles, though they were considered less directly responsible for the killing itself. Shipp received a life sentence, while Peterson was convicted of being an accessory after the fact and received a significantly lighter sentence. Their involvement, along with Pike’s central role, made the case one of the most disturbing and widely discussed crimes connected to the Job Corps program.
