Mugshot Mysteries
Hosts Kathryn and Gabriel dive deep into historical crimes, infamous outlaws, unexplained mysteries, and modern cases that divide America with the kind of dark humor and chemistry that makes hour-long deep dives fly by. From vintage mugshots to ghost ships, from exorcisms to healthcare scandals, from disappeared outlaws to haunted houses: if it's unsolved, unexplained, or unforgettable, we're putting it in the lineup.
What we cover: True crime (historical and modern), cold cases, paranormal investigations, unsolved murders, conspiracy theories, forgotten criminals, and the mysteries that still haunt us. Expect thorough research, psychological analysis, skepticism mixed with curiosity, and two hosts who aren't afraid to disagree, joke, or go down rabbit holes together.
Our vibe: Smart storytelling meets dark comedy. We take the cases seriously but not ourselves. Because sometimes the best way to examine a murder, a haunting, or a centuries-old mystery is with a partner who gets it
