What started as a headline-grabbing paternity dispute spiralled into a years-long online obsession with amateur sleuths, YouTubers, legal commentators and court-watchers trying to piece together what actually happened in the Owens-Echard case and as the proceedings unfolded, more questions than answers emerged, turning this case into a viral obsession. .Listen now to hear a story packed with paternity claims, court hearings, conflicting timelines, fake pregnancies and doctored sonograms, and worst of all - Clayton wasn't the only one...

This week, Geordie & Michelle. veer into the eerie world of liminal spaces, alternate realities and the unsettling idea that there might be places that exist just beyond our own...Have you heard of the Elevator Game? What began as a South Korean urban legend evolved into an internet paranormal ritual, spreading through horror forums and social media. The premise is simple but unsettling: enter an elevator in a building with at least ten floors, follow a precise sequence of button presses and you may find yourself transported to another dimension. That legend leads to one of the internet's most enduring mysteries: the case of Elisa Lam. What was she doing in that hotel elevator? Could her strange behavior have anything to do with the Elevator Game—or is that simply a modern myth layered onto a tragic real-life event? Geordie also explores the unsettling mythology of Backrooms, the psychology of liminal spaces and why these strange in-between places continue to haunt our imaginations.

Then in 1998, Byron "Low Tax" Looper decided to run for state senate against incumbent Tommy Burks, who was expected to win by a landslide. However, just days before the election, Tommy Burks was found shot dead in his pickup truck and almost immediately, suspicion fell on Byron, who stood to benefit politically from Tommy's' sudden death.

This week, Geordie digs into Lori and Chad Daybell’s obsession with end-times prophecy, people as “light or dark” spirits and extreme religious beliefs — and how those delusions became tied to multiple suspicious deaths and a heartbreaking murder investigation.

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie and Michelle dive into the weird and wonderful world of epigenetics, inherited trauma, reincarnation and the possibility that your DNA might be carrying more than just your eye colour...Can fear really be passed down through generations? Why did a group of mice develop a terror of cherries after their parents were traumatised in a lab experiment? And could the experiences of Holocaust survivors leave biological marks on their descendants? Recent scientific studies suggest that trauma can literally rewire DNA alongside the hopeful idea that healing might be inherited, too.Michelle then digs into the stories of two children who claim to remember past lives. Did blond-haired toddler Luke from Ohio really used to be a Black woman named Pam who died in a fire? Was Scottish child, Cameron Macaulay, really the reincarnation of a man called Shane Robertson who once lived in a white bungalow on the Isle of Barra?

This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle dive into the baffling world of people who seem to vanish without a trace…We’ve all heard stories about mysterious disappearances, but some cases almost defy explanation.

Is there any truth behind the creepy stories of people walking behind cars and never being seen again? And what really happened to Brian Shaeffer, the medical student who entered a crowded bar in Ohio and seemingly vanished forever?

This week, Geordie & Michelle explore the brutal murder of Australian mother of two, Penny Pratt...When 27-year-old Penny Pratt checked herself into a psychiatric facility on the night of November 28, 2010, she believed she was entering a place of safety and care. Instead, over the course of just a few hours, a series of failures, bad decisions and missed opportunities would leave her vulnerable — and ultimately lead to her brutal murder. Why did Penny leave the psychiatric hospital that night? How did violent offenders James Potter and Aaron Gibson become involved? How did so many people fail her at every stage? And perhaps most disturbingly of all: Why were Penny’s desperate pleas for help ignored by emergency services when she needed them most?

This week, Geordie & Michelle explore the murky world of eugenics...Most parents want their kids to succeed, but what happens when parenting stops being encouragement and starts becoming engineering? This week, Geordie & Michelle look at the bizarre and tragic story of Hildegart Rodríguez — known as The Red Virgin. Born in Madrid in 1914, Hildegart was created by her mother, Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, as a human experiment. Obsessed with eugenics and the idea of creating the “perfect woman”, Aurora carefully chose a man for his intelligence and social standing, got pregnant, raised a female 'project' and turned Hildegart into a child prodigy. Except at some point, Hildegart began to get a mind of her own and that's when things get dark... Listen now to this story about genius, obsession, control and feminism and what happens when a child is raised as a project instead of a person.

This week, Geordie & Michelle dive into the life and work of the greatest children's author of all time, Roald Dahl...If you’ve ever read a book by Roald Dahl or watched one of the films inspired by his stories, you might assume his legacy begins and ends with some of the most beloved children’s books ever written. But that barely scratches the surface. Beyond his extraordinary imagination as a writer, Dahl lived a life that was as dramatic as any of his stories. He served as a fighter pilot during World War II, survived a crash that nearly killed him, and later worked as a British intelligence agent. He wrote the most successful James Bond film screenplay of all time, caught the attention of Walt Disney, collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock and married a super successful Hollywood actress. He endured the death of a child and supported another through a life-threatening injury and even helped develop a life-saving medical device. But there's also a dark side to Dah's life that begs the question - can you separate the work from the man?
