Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning — The Secret Graveyard: Unearthing the Truth Beneath Eaton’s Land

In this haunting installment of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, host John McColl and co-host Angela return to the desolate plains of Wyoming, where justice finally clawed its way to the surface.When forensic teams broke ground on Dale Wayne Eaton’s property, they uncovered Lisa Marie Kimmell’s black Honda CRX — buried six feet beneath the dirt, still marked with the plate the world had been searching for: LIL MISS.
What investigators found beneath that earth rewrote a fifteen-year mystery. From the chilling excavation to the forensic science that proved Eaton’s guilt, to the strength of Sheila Kimmell’s unbreakable advocacy, this episode chronicles how truth can survive even when it’s buried in silence and dust.
You’ll walk the property, feel the tension of the dig, and stand in the quiet moment when the earth itself gave up its secret. Because sometimes justice doesn’t speak — it rises.

Shadow Chat Sessions: The Billboard Cat Hack, Operation Snow White & The Mind-Reading AI

What do you get when hackers hijack a California billboard to stream cat videos, Scientology infiltrates U.S. government agencies, and Reddit swears that AI is reading everyone’s minds?You get this week’s Shadow Chat Sessions — a full-throttle ride through the strangest corners of reality, stupidity, and the supernatural.
John dives into the L.A. billboard hack that turned freeway traffic into a feline film festival, exposes the true story behind Operation Snow White, one of the largest domestic infiltration plots in American history, and explores the eerie AI-can-read-your-mind theory that has Reddit losing its collective mind.
Then it’s time for Dipshit Diaries, where the dumb criminal trifecta includes:
a burglar trapped in a chimney who had to call 911 on himself,
a DoorDash driver demanding tips at gunpoint, and
a Florida teen who faked his own abduction so convincingly, he actually shot himself.
And in this week’s Weird Shit, John covers:👻 The Haunting at the Genesee Theatre — Illinois’ “Man in the Tall Hat” makes another spectral cameo.⚓ Michigan’s Haunted Museum Ship — ghostly EVPs whisper “Still here.”🌀 The Return of the Forest Grove Screaming Sound — Oregon’s eerie night wail is back.🦇 DNA-Confirmed Cryptid Bat of Borneo — science just met folklore face-to-face.💡 Australia’s Min Min Lights — mysterious orbs chase motorists through the outback once again.
It’s bizarre, it’s hilarious, and it’s unapologetically Shadow Chat.

Dark Dialogue: The Pact of Shadows — The Simon Sue Murders in Guffey, Colorado

A teenage cult. A mountain town. And a friendship that ended in blood.
 
High in the Colorado mountains, the quiet town of Guffey hid a nightmare no one saw coming.In the winter of 2001, three members of the Dutcher family were brutally murdered — not by strangers, but by teenagers under the control of an unlikely ringleader: 19-year-old Simon Sue, a self-styled commander who built his own secret “organization” and convinced classmates to kill in his name.
The Pact of Shadows explores how Sue’s delusional creation — a supposed spy network called O.A.R.A. — blurred the line between fantasy and fanaticism. Through psychological manipulation, humiliation rituals, and fear, he transformed a small circle of high schoolers into his loyal soldiers. When one of them — 15-year-old Isaac Grimes — hesitated, Sue turned friendship into a death sentence.
Join John and Angela as they retrace how a charismatic teen’s obsession spiraled into one of Colorado’s most shocking crimes. From the Dutchers’ mountain cabin to the interrogation rooms where terrified boys confessed, this episode exposes how the need to belong can become a weapon — and how evil sometimes wears the face of someone we trust.
Dark Dialogue delivers the full story: the control, the loyalty, the murders, and the trials that followed — revealing how fantasy turned to bloodshed in a town too small to imagine such horror.

Dark Dialogue: The Neighbor Next Door: The Murder of Brett W. Smith

In October 2008, the quiet streets of North Canton, Ohio—a place known for safety, family, and small-town calm—were shattered by an act of horror that still defies belief.
Thirty-four-year-old Brett W. Smith was found brutally murdered and decapitated inside his own home at Evergreen Mobile Home Park. His killer wasn’t a stranger or a drifter. It was the man who lived just across the fence — William D. Perry, a neighbor whose rage and instability turned deadly.
Through court records, forensic analysis, and first-hand accounts, this episode of Dark Dialogue unravels the story of a man whose only mistake was trusting that home meant safety. You’ll hear about the decade-long peace shattered overnight, the haunting discovery made by Brett’s mother, and the exhaustive investigation that brought Perry to justice.
But more than the violence, this story is about who Brett was — a gentle, kind man who lived with health challenges yet met the world with quiet strength. It’s about his mother, Judy, who endured the unimaginable: burying not one, but two sons, and carrying on with grace.
Join John and Angela as they explore how the illusion of suburban safety can collapse in an instant — when the real monster isn’t hiding in the shadows… but living next door.

Dark Dialogue: Gallows and Gunfights - The Hand That Pulled the Strings – Power, Politics, and the Santa Fe Ring

Power didn’t die with the gunfights in Lincoln County—it just learned how to legislate.
In this installment of Gallows and Gunfights, we peel back the curtain on the Santa Fe Ring, the shadow government that turned the New Mexico Territory into its personal empire. These weren’t outlaws in dusters—they were judges, governors, and businessmen whose weapons were contracts, decrees, and seals of office.
Host John McColl and Angela trace how Thomas Benton Catron, Governor Samuel Beach Axtell, Judge Warren Bristol, District Attorney William Rynerson, and Colonel Nathan Dudley shaped a system where corruption became law. From the courtroom to the governor’s chair, from Fort Stanton to the capitol halls of Santa Fe, they reveal the empire of influence that crushed justice long before Billy the Kid ever drew his gun.
We’ll walk through the real power structure behind The House—the financiers, soldiers, and bureaucrats who turned a county feud into a political machine. You’ll meet the forgotten enforcers, the complicit officers, and the bureaucrats whose signatures were as deadly as bullets.And as the dust settles, we’ll meet Governor Lew Wallace, the man who tried to write peace in a land that no longer believed in it.
It’s the story of how greed, law, and power conspired to rule a frontier—and how every legend needs its villains in suits as much as its heroes in saddles.

Dark Dialogue - Shadow Chat Sessions: Mutual Munchies & Other Mayhem: Pandas, Portals, and the Kentucky Meat Shower

Welcome back to Shadow Chat Sessions, the show that digs into the bizarre, the unbelievable, and the downright stupid hiding in the shadows of the internet and history books alike.
This episode brings an all-you-can-eat buffet of chaos, starting with the story that had the zoo world buzzing — “Man Bitten by Panda at Zoo, Bites Panda Back in Rare Case of Mutual Munchies.” From there, we dive headfirst into one of rock’s strangest rumors in “Paul Is Dead”, crawl through the Paris Catacombs’ rumored portal to hell, and scroll into stupidity with The Selfie Burglar – Ashley Keast, Dennis Hawkins the “Bank Robber Barbie,” and Shop with a Cop… and a Crook.
Then it’s on to the Dog-Headed Humanoids of Pennsylvania, a historical WTF double feature with The Kentucky Meat Shower (1876) and The Boston Molasses Flood (1919), and finally the tales that keep internet legends alive — Gef the Talking Mongoose and The Watcher of Westfield, New Jersey.
Each segment mixes sarcasm, skepticism, and a healthy dose of “what the hell did I just hear?” energy — proving once again that stupidity, strangeness, and the supernatural are alive and well in small towns and big cities alike.

Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning - Lisa Marie Kimmell Part 4: DNA and the Man in the Desert

Fifteen years after Lisa Marie Kimmell vanished on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway, a single DNA sample whispered the name of her killer — Dale Wayne Eaton. DNA and the Man in the Desert follows the forensic trail that broke one of the state’s most haunting cold cases and revealed the predator who had stalked its plains for decades.
From the quiet hum of the crime lab to the empty desert where a family once fought for their lives, John and Angela retrace the chain of events that turned a forgotten rape kit into the voice that finally spoke for Lisa. This episode uncovers how Eaton’s violent past, his near-fatal 1997 kidnapping of a Michigan family, and his drifter existence all converged to expose a killer hiding in plain sight.
With cinematic storytelling and investigative precision, Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning brings you inside the case that proved justice can rise from silence — and that sometimes, survival itself is the key to solving a murder.

This episode dives deep into the psychology of teenage infamy, the timeline of the crime, and the haunting aftermath that shattered an entire community.

Dark Dialogue: The Boy in the Walls – The Haunting Case of Danny LaPlante

Home is supposed to be safe — but what if the danger is already inside?In this chilling October episode of Dark Dialogue, John and Angela pull back the walls on one of the most disturbing cases in American true crime: the story of Danny LaPlante, a teenager who secretly lived inside a family’s home, watching them, tormenting them, and ultimately becoming one of Massachusetts’ most terrifying killers.
The case begins like a ghost story — tapping walls, objects moving, eerie messages written in ketchup — but ends in real-life horror with the murders of Priscilla Gustafson and her children in 1987. What began as an invasion of privacy became one of the darkest true crime legends in New England history.
John and Angela unravel how a lonely family’s grief after their mother’s death made them vulnerable to a predator who blurred the line between haunting and homicide. You’ll hear the full story of the Bowen family’s nightmare, the Gustafson murders, the trial that followed, and how both families struggled to rebuild after the unimaginable.
This episode captures the eerie spirit of October — where the knocks in the walls aren’t ghosts, and the shadows outside may not be the scariest thing waiting for you.

Dark Dialogue: Gallows and Gunfights - Billy The Kid Part 3: The House Always Wins — Until It Doesn’t

Before Billy the Kid ever drew his gun, before the Regulators ever swore vengeance, Lincoln County was already lost—sold, signed, and sealed by a handful of men who turned commerce into tyranny.
In Dark Dialogue: Gallows & Gunfights – The House Always Wins — Until It Doesn’t, John and Angela open the record on the empire that ruled the New Mexico Territory through ledgers, credit, and fear. From Lawrence Murphy’s mercantile monopoly to James Dolan’s violent enforcement, from John Riley’s quiet corruption to Jesse Evans’ bloody loyalty, this episode traces the roots of the Lincoln County War to their true source: greed.
Follow the rise and fall of The House—the cartel that bought a county, buried its rivals, and learned too late that even empires built on fear eventually crumble. Featuring detailed historical reconstructions, courtroom-style storytelling, and immersive sound design, this installment of Gallows & Gunfights takes you straight into the smoke and politics of the Old West’s most infamous feud.
