About This Podcast
Some stories are solved. Most aren’t.
The interesting ones refuse to stay buried.
Mugshot Mysteries is a deep-dive podcast hosted by Kathryn and Gabriel, exploring true crime, conspiracies, paranormal encounters, cults, historical disasters, government cover-ups, and the stories that keep people awake long after the episode ends.
Every episode blends immersive storytelling, psychological analysis, dark humor, and the kind of rabbit holes that make you question whether history is telling the full truth.
One week it’s serial killers. The next it’s MKUltra, haunted hospitals, vanished ships, UFO encounters, or deaths that still don’t make sense decades later.
Kathryn brings the research. Gabriel brings the questions, the theories, and occasionally a comment so out of pocket it completely derails the conversation.
Expect deep dives, unexpected tangents, and at least one moment where Kathryn has to stop and say, “Wow. Wow wow wow.”
If it’s disturbing, unexplained, historically strange, or impossible to forget… it belongs in the lineup.
New episodes every week.
