Murder, Mysteries and Conspiracies with Glenn P Clinger III

In 1907, millions of immigrants came to America seeking opportunity—but government assistance was limited, and newcomers were generally expected to support themselves.

Today, billions of taxpayer dollars go toward immigration-related services, including emergency shelter, healthcare, and education.

What changed? Who pays the price? And could returning to earlier immigration principles ease the financial burden—or create new economic problems?

Join Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies as we compare two eras of American immigration and ask one provocative question: Are we learning from history, or repeating its mistakes?

In 2018, President Trump signed an executive order declaring foreign election interference a national emergency. Now, just weeks before the 2026 midterms, that emergency remains in effect.

Could foreign cyberattacks, AI-generated disinformation, or election investigations create political chaos?

Join Glenn P. Clinger III on Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies as we explore the order's powers, its limitations, and its potential impact on the midterms.

Could the greatest threat to our elections be losing faith in the results?

Could the 2026 midterm elections trigger the next major stock market collapse?

A Bank of America strategist has warned that a Democratic takeover of both houses of Congress could send stocks falling by more than 10%. With inflation concerns, elevated stock valuations, mounting government debt, and uncertainty surrounding artificial intelligence investments, could Wall Street already be sitting on a financial time bomb?

In this What If? episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, host Glenn Clinger investigates the potential economic consequences of the 2026 midterms, the warning signs financial experts are watching, and how political uncertainty could threaten Americans...

Sonny Liston was one of the most feared heavyweight champions in boxing history. But in 1971, he was found dead in his Las Vegas home under mysterious circumstances.

Heroin was discovered in the house, yet the coroner ruled his death natural. Friends claimed Liston feared needles, and his connections to organized crime raised even more disturbing questions.

Was it a tragic medical emergency, a drug overdose, or a mob-related murder? Did someone want the former champion silenced?

NFL superstar Gene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb was a giant on the football field, feared by opponents and loved by fans. But in 1963, at just 31 years old, he died from a heroin overdose. The mystery? His teammates claimed he was terrified of needles and questioned whether he would ever inject drugs.

Was it a tragic accident, a robbery gone wrong, or something far more sinister?

Join Glenn P. Clinger III on Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies as we investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

You Be the Detective. Was Big Daddy Lipscomb murdered?

Two parties. One country. And a government that seems more interested in winning elections than saving America's future.

Republicans blame Democrats. Democrats blame Republicans. Meanwhile, the national debt skyrockets, government spending continues, and the American people are left paying the price.

From Elon Musk's DOGE initiative to Washington's refusal to compromise, one disturbing question remains:

Have our elected officials lost the courage to put America ahead of their political careers?

In this explosive episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, Glenn P. Clinger III confronts Washington's political gridlock and asks what happens...

As the 2026 midterms approach, is the news simply reporting events...or helping shape how voters see them? In this episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, Glenn P. Clinger III examines documented studies from Harvard, Pew Research Center, Reuters Institute, and other sources on negative political coverage, media framing, headline psychology, and declining public trust in journalism. Are Americans being informed, influenced, or both?

What if the most powerful propaganda machine ever created is already in your pocket?

In this episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, Glenn P. Clinger III explores how radio, television, smartphones, social media, and algorithms have changed the way information influences us.

Are our phones listening? Are algorithms reinforcing our beliefs and making us more polarized? And is social media becoming less social and more like personalized television?

Maybe your phone doesn’t have to read your mind.

Maybe it already knows enough about you.

Years before COVID changed the world, experts were warning about pandemics. There were coronavirus simulations, vaccine research already underway, billions of dollars eventually at stake, and questions about the virus’s origin that still have not completely disappeared.

Coincidence?

Preparation?

Or something more?

In Part Four of our COVID series, we examine Event 201, earlier pandemic scenarios, mRNA research, pharmaceutical profits, the lab-leak debate, and the difference between preparing for a pandemic—and planning one.

We present the evidence. You decide what it means.

Sources

Masks. Lockdowns. Changing guidance. Breakthrough infections. Social-media warnings. Conflicting experts.

During COVID, the rules seemed to change almost as quickly as the virus itself.

Was that simply science evolving in real time or did poor communication, censorship, fear, and misinformation make it impossible to know who was telling the truth?

In Part Three of our COVID series, we examine the confusion that surrounded the pandemic and the information war that followed.

When the guidance keeps changing, how do you know what to believe?

A drug that failed to become the answer for Ebola suddenly became one of the most important treatments of the COVID era.

At the same time, cheap medications like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin became deeply controversial, social-media platforms restricted certain treatment claims, and governments spent billions on newer pharmaceutical drugs.

Was this simply medicine evolving under extraordinary pressure—or did money, fear, and institutional power shape the treatments we were told to trust?

In Part Two of our COVID series, we examine the trials, the pricing, the competing treatments, and the unanswered questions that st...

In Part One of our COVID series, Broken Trust, we examine how confidence in doctors, hospitals, vaccines, and public-health agencies began to fracture. Were people reacting to changing science, poor communication, real adverse events, personal loss or something deeper?

Years later, the questions remain.

What happened to our trust in medicine… and can it ever be restored?

What if the next global crisis wasn’t real?

A decades-old conspiracy theory claims technology could be used to fake an alien invasion, simulate religious events, and manipulate billions.

Impossible?

Maybe.

But with AI, drones, deepfakes, and modern surveillance technology, Project Blue Beam raises one terrifying question:

What happens when you can no longer trust your own eyes?

As America heads toward the 2026 midterms, both parties are making big claims about the economy. But what do the numbers actually show?

In this episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, Glenn P. Clinger III compares the first 19 months of Joe Biden’s presidency with the first 19 months of Donald Trump’s current term.

Inflation. Groceries. Gas. Wages. Jobs. Housing. Purchasing power.

Which period saw prices rise faster? Did wages actually keep up? Are families really better off today—or does it depend on what you measure?

No campaign slogans. No partisan spin.<...

What would actually happen if America abandoned capitalism and moved toward a communist system? Your business. Your property. Your retirement. Your grocery store. Your freedom to criticize the government.

In this hard-hitting “What If?” episode, Glenn examines what happened to ordinary people in Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, and Venezuela—and asks what those lessons could mean for the United States. From nationalization and shortages to mass migration, political repression, and economic collapse, history gives us some disturbing clues.

Could America make that transformation and still remain the America we know?

What happens if Republicans lose control of Congress in the 2026 midterms?

In this special What If? episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, Glenn P. Clinger III looks at history to explore what could happen if Democrats win the House, the Senate, or both.

Could Trump’s agenda grind to a halt? Would investigations intensify? What happens to judicial appointments, federal spending, executive orders, and the possibility of impeachment?

Using the Clinton, Bush, Obama, and first Trump administrations as historical examples, we examine how divided government has reshaped presidencies before—and what it could mean...

In 1982, Italian banking tycoon Roberto Calvi was found hanging beneath London’s Blackfriars Bridge. In his pockets were thousands in foreign currency. Hidden in his clothing were pieces of masonry. Behind him was a collapsing financial empire with connections to the Vatican Bank, a secret Masonic lodge, and allegations involving organized crime.

Authorities initially believed Calvi committed suicide, but evidence would eventually raise a far more disturbing possibility.

Follow the money, examine the evidence, and decide for yourself.

Celebrity hairstylist Fabio Sementilli seemed to have it all—a successful career, a beautiful Los Angeles home, and a family. But behind closed doors, his wife Monica was having a secret affair with racquetball instructor Robert Baker.

Then Fabio was found brutally stabbed to death on his own patio.

Investigators initially considered a home invasion. But when DNA pointed directly to Monica's lover, the case exploded into a story of sex, money, betrayal, and murder.

Prosecutors said Monica helped orchestrate her husband's killing and stood to collect $1.6 million in life insurance. But at he...

He built an island, made a fortune during Florida’s wild real-estate boom—and then vanished without a trace.

In 1926, millionaire developer D.P. Davis, the visionary behind Tampa’s famous Davis Islands, boarded the luxury ocean liner Majestic bound for Europe. Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, Davis disappeared through an open porthole.

His body was never recovered.

Was it a tragic accident during rough seas? Did financial and personal pressures drive him to take his own life? Or could Davis have deliberately disappeared and started over somewhere else?

For nearly 34 years, she was known only as “Claudia”—an unidentified woman found murdered beside a California highway in 1992. Police eventually learned she was a victim of notorious serial killer Keith Jesperson, the Happy Face Killer. They knew who killed her, but they still didn’t know who she was.

Now, after more than three decades, DNA and genetic genealogy have finally given the woman without a name her identity back.

Could an American election actually be rigged?

If someone wanted to change the outcome, how would they do it? Who would benefit? How many people would have to know? And could it happen without anyone discovering the truth?

A handyman from Clarksburg, West Virginia, sends police a chilling confession: five murders and four arsons. Then he tells investigators where to find the bodies and they actually find them.

But before detectives can question James E. Childers, he takes his own life, leaving behind a disturbing mystery. Authorities ultimately connected him to three deaths, but Childers claimed there were more victims.

Was he telling the truth? Are there still bodies that have never been found?

Three young Girl Scouts went to sleep at Camp Scott, Oklahoma, on the night of June 12, 1977. By morning, Lori Lee Farmer, 8, Michele Heather Guse, 9, and Doris Denise Milner, 10, were dead.

Then the investigation took an extraordinary turn.

Authorities focused on escaped convict Gene Leroy Hart, a man familiar with the surrounding wilderness. After a massive manhunt, Hart was captured and put on trial for the murders.

The jury found him not guilty.

But decades later, advances in DNA testing brought investigators' attention right back to Hart.

So did a...

On February 2, 2008, a gunman entered a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, and turned an ordinary Saturday morning into one of the Chicago area's most haunting unsolved murder cases.

Five women were killed. One woman survived.

Police had something most cold-case investigators never get: a surviving eyewitness, a detailed description of the killer, and even his voice captured on a 911 call.

Yet nearly two decades later, no one has been publicly identified or convicted.

On November 17, 1978, four young employees vanished from a Burger Chef restaurant in Speedway, Indiana. Two days later, Jayne Friedt, Ruth Shelton, Daniel Davis, and Mark Flemmonds were found murdered in a wooded area more than 20 miles away.

Nearly five decades later, the Burger Chef Murders remain unsolved.

What began as an apparent robbery became a quadruple kidnapping and murder. Investigative mistakes may have destroyed crucial evidence, multiple suspects emerged, and years later a convicted criminal made a disturbing confession—but no one was ever brought to justice.

One of the most powerful men in America was found dead beneath a sixteenth-floor window.

The official verdict was suicide.

But decades later, questions still remain.

James Forrestal was America's first Secretary of Defense, a key architect of U.S. military strategy during the early Cold War, and a man with access to some of the nation's most closely guarded secrets.

Was Forrestal a brilliant leader suffering from exhaustion and depression?
