In 2004, the murder of a retired Los Angeles schoolteacher was “solved” in record time. A suspect was arrested within hours, charges were filed almost immediately, and a conviction soon followed. But the case’s speed concealed a devastating truth—an innocent, special-needs teenager named Jimmy Kitlas was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. Twenty years later, the case is reopened in Where Murder Lies, as investigators Burl Barer and Frank C. Girardot expose a shocking web of deception, manipulation, and investigative misconduct. What begins as a seemingly simple homicide spirals into a bizarre and dangerous criminal enterprise involving stolen gold, MDMA smuggling, and a stunning alliance between the American Mafia and the Russian Mob—one that may have defrauded the U.S. government out of billions. This episode examines wrongful conviction, tunnel vision policing, and how justice can fail when closing a case matters more than finding the truth.

Hosted by Dave Schrader, The Paranormal 60 Network is a daily exploration into the shadows and strange frequencies that hum just beneath the surface of our ordinary world. This isn't a single show but a curated collection of voices, each dedicated to dissecting a different corner of the mysterious. Every episode across the network’s schedule tackles topics from ghostly encounters and UAP phenomena to deep dives into folklore, unsettling true crime, and enduring historical puzzles. The approach is grounded yet open, favoring narrative and investigation over sensationalism. You might spend one day immersed in the regional myths and odd tales of New England with Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger, then join Dave Schrader the next for his focused take on the paranormal. The result is a consistently intriguing podcast feed that treats the unexplained with a seriousness that respects both the subject and the listener’s curiosity. It’s designed for those who find fascination in the unanswered question, offering a daily dose of the supernatural, the strange, and the historically hidden, all delivered through thoughtful conversation and researched storytelling. Tune in and let the familiar world seem a little less certain, and a whole lot more interesting.
