Holy Polygraph, it's a Christmas miracle! Newest episode of the pod drops A DAY EARLY so all you Holtheads can spend the big day doing what you really want: listening to the story of the most twisted case of murder, incest and ziploc bags of your dead wife's hair at the bedside you've ever heard. Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the month old episode of HBO Max's MOTHER MAY I MURDER about Damon and Sonya Bamberg and their love affair for the ages. What's the best method for open mouth kissing, Damon wonders...well, Mommy knows best!

"Thasshis MOMMA!"
Kurt Money and Kateline hop across the pond to watch a 22-minute banger of an ep about the plight of Jens Söring and Elizabeth Haystrom for the years 1986 to 1990. Those names sound familiar? They might, because Netflix did a four-part docuseries on this case recently. Guess what, though? This 35 year old 22 minute episode tells the story WAYYYY BETTER. Oh and wouldn't you believe it, cops in the 1980s think for a hot sec that a satanic cult did the crimes.
This episode first appeared on our now-defunct Patreon pay wall earlier this year but is on the main feed for the first time TODAY. Kurt Money will give you the scoop at the beginning, but both K$ and KL will be back next Friday with a brand new episode about a hilarious episode of Mother, May I.
Michael Winner's True Crimes was streaming on Prime at the time of this recording. Available at ANY time? Our social handles! @truecrimecleanup on Instagram and YouTube!!!
Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the shortest Dateline episode in history, "The Ruse," which aired Friday, December 5th, 2025. But even more interesting than that is that it is, in fact, hosted by Lester Holt! This is his first episode that's all his, and well...K$ and KL got questions. Questions for Lester, questions for the producers, and most importantly, questions for the all-timer Deputy Dinguses that dared show their face on TV.
In 2018, Tom Perez Jr faced the most harrowing interrogation session with the most questionable of tactics...and a crime hadn't even been committed yet. Who is to blame? Is it the—lol, who are we kidding. The dinguses are to blame!! Give a listen to a fascinating case and our thoughts on where they went wrong and how it went right. Spoiler: The dog, Margo, is the all-star of the episode.
Kurt Money and Kateline head back to the swamps!! Today they discuss the season one episode of Swamp Murders about the murder of Carol Hutto, in Largo, Florida, in December 1976. Have you been feeling like there haven't been any deputy dinguses lately? Well you're in luck! We got a BIG one today! Plus a non-dingus saves the day decades later.

After the super duper episode last week, Kurt Money and Kateline return to the FF well to find their center again. And guess what? All FFs are 10 outta 10s, and that's the case with season 2's "Sex, Lies & DNA" about the murder of Ruby Morris in Phoenix, June 1989. Her husband Earl Morris was on a road trip to manage their daughter's country music career, so there is no way he is involved in the murder. Just like there is no way that's a toup on his head. That's totally real. Give a listen to hear at the very least THREE bomb drops that this 22-minute FF gives the viewer like its nothing. And check out our IG @truecrimecleanup for pics of proof!
Kurt Money and Kateline discuss a three-part documentary series from across the pond, the absolutely BANGIN’ The Body Next Door. A body wrapped 41 times is found in the garden of a four unit apartment complex. The body is only a few weeks old but can only be tied to 70-something Leigh Sabine. Only problem is…Leigh died the month before after a long battle with cancer. So who is the body in the bag and who put it there? This story unfolded in Beddau, Wales, in November of 2015 but the real story begins in New Zealand in 1969. Watch The Body Next Door on BBC Select.
Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the terrible luck that respected pastor AB Schirmer has when it comes to wives. One wife, Jewel, dies by tripping on the vacuum.

And are those the only suspicious deaths in AB's life? NOPE!!

CUE THE BAHA MEN, BABY!! MURPHDOG IS BACK IN ACTION!! That's right, Dennis Murphy makes his triumphant return to Dateline for an update episode on the Dan Markel murder case. We've already locked up Charlie Adelson for life...which Adelson is next? Why, Donna, OF COURSE!!!! The entire Adelson clan is super miserable these days and Kurt Money is Here For It™. Did Kateline like the episode better the second time around than she did originally in April of 2024 when we first covered the Dan Markel case? Listen to find out!
Also...since this is an update case, K$ and KL are not breaking down the entire case, just discussing what's been added to this, the trial of Donna Adelson. Oh, and Charlie Adelson stubs his toe and absolutely loses it on a prison guard. Top shelf comedy, folks.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the extremely disturbing and hard-to-believe-but-it-actually-happened "Killer in the Walls" episode of The Real Murders on Elm Street (HBOMax, S1E01 aired 2024).

This is a doozy of a case and a pretty dang good podcast episode so give it a listen!

With a show with "Forensic" in the title, you just KNOW its a banger, and this does not disappoint.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the murder of Christine Schultz by her ex-husband, Elfred Schultz, and how in 1982 Laurie Bembenek got convicted for it and Elfred Schultz lived a full and happy life as a free man. The backbone of this episode is the "Deadly Divorce" episode of THE PERFECT MURDER, but you know that K$ Read That Book™ and has plenty of additional info to prove to Kateline why THE PERFECT MURDER got it wrong and how the cops involved in the case are the King Dingus Supremes of all Deptuy Dinguses for their handling of the case in 1980 and sticking to their BS story today.
The books read were RUN, BAMBI, RUN by Kris Radish and Laurie's own book, A WOMAN ON TRIAL.
