Paranormal wizard Tony Felosi was back on the Murder123 podcast with Dr.John Stamey and Robin McCray. They take a look at the highest profile murder case of the century - Jeffrey Epstein and discuss some of the mysterious details surrounding it.
Another special guest is Dr. Tray Dunaway, he is a surgeon and pathologist, he will weigh in on the Epstein case.

Later in the program Tony Felosi joins them for "The Cell Block" segment with EVPs of the Manso Shepard murder case. Tony will be a regular contributor for the podcast and we want to share this aspect of our research with everyone.

While most of you know we research numerous cryptids and general weirdness, we also dive into unsolved murders, historical events, and missing person cases, just to name a few. It has not been very long ago I was personally contacted to search for a missing woman. The people knew I know the mountains very well in our area and reach out to me. We have not shared very much of this aspect of our team, but we hope to start adding some of this in the future.

Paranormal investigator Tony Felosi joins Dr. John Stamey, Devin Tait and guest host Robin McCray to discuss the story of Manzo Shepherd and the events that spawned one of the most infamous trials in Harlan County, Kentucky history.

Taking place on  Black Mountain at 4,145 feet (the tallest peak in Kentucky) in late April 1942, cab driver Joe Christian was brutally murdered by Shepherd and his two friends.

Within one month of the murder, Shepherd would be shot in a crowded courtroom of 300 people and his accomplices, Sherman Clouse and Howard Hensley, would both eventually get life sentences to avoid the death penalty.
