Welcome to The Guilty Files Podcast, where two former police officers take you beyond the headlines and deep into the heart of true crime. Each week, Brian delivers the hard facts—laying out the case details with precision, just like he would in an investigation. Then, Dani takes those same files and flips the perspective, analyzing the psychological and sociological aspects of the crime. But he doesn’t stop there—he reimagines key moments, asking What if? to challenge the way you think about justice, motive, and the human mind. Finally, in a third episode, Brian and Dani come together to break it all down, debating theories, dissecting motives, and revealing insights only former cops can bring to the table. If you love true crime but crave deeper analysis, unexpected twists, and expert perspectives, you're in the right place. Two Hosts. One Crime. Double The Story.

    TGF 011 The Staircase Murder: Rewired

    Welcome back to The Guilty Files: True Crime Rewired. I’m Dani—your host, storyteller, and former Atlanta cop with a love for twisting true crime into new angles. On Monday, Brian gave you the straight facts of the Michael Peterson case—Kathleen’s death, the blood, the conviction, and that infamous staircase. Tonight, I’m taking you deeper, into the “what ifs” that haunt this case. We start with the case file recap, then open a fictional drawer filled with Kathleen’s secret diaries. What might she have seen coming? From there, we imagine what modern forensics could uncover, reimagine a jury room with hidden agendas, and revisit Elizabeth Ratliff’s eerily similar fall. We even explore a version where Kathleen’s daughter, Caitlin, takes justice into her own hands. This is The Staircase like you’ve never heard it—rewritten, reimagined, and recharged. So buckle up, hit subscribe, and let us know what you think. Is Michael Peterson a master manipulator—or a man swallowed by circumstance? This Rewired episode is your Netflix binge in podcast form—a collision of fact, imagination, and the dark allure of “what if.”Got a theory of your own? Think we nailed it—or missed something big?
