Missing Scientists: Your Brain Is the Conspiracy | Pt. 2

Author: This Feels Criminal | Formerly Killer Queens May 14, 2026 Duration: 37:41
A Substack post became a federal probe in eight weeks. That's faster than most podcast episodes get edited. So what actually happened — and what does it mean that it can happen again? In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita move from the individual cases and start interrogating the system. They break down apophenia — your brain's tendency to find patterns even where none exist — and trace exactly how one influencer newsletter traveled from fringe post to White House press briefing to multi-agency FBI investigation. They also cover the cases that genuinely do deserve more scrutiny, including Amy Eskridge's deeply unsettling prediction about her own death. The verdict: overwhelmingly apophenia. But the mechanism that got us here? That's the real story. ⚠️ This episode discusses suicide and harassment of grieving families. If you're struggling, call or text 988.

You might remember Tyrella and Nikita from their previous work as the Killer Queens. After eight years and hundreds of cases covered, their perspective has fundamentally shifted, leading to a thoughtful evolution of the true crime conversation. This new chapter, titled This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens), is for an audience that has matured alongside them, moving beyond the straightforward narrative to ask deeper, more difficult questions about the stories we think we know. Grounded in a shared history of growing up with Dateline and the early internet, the hosts now approach each case with a deconstructed viewpoint, examining the societal and human layers often glossed over. The podcast delves into the historical context surrounding crimes, exploring how time and place shape tragedy. Listeners will hear nuanced discussions that prioritize perspective over sensationalism, focusing on the complex "why" behind the "what." It’s a natural progression for hosts and audience alike, offering a more considered space within a crowded genre. Each episode of this podcast builds on a foundation of extensive research and lived experience, aiming to understand the full weight of the story, because there’s always more to it.
