  Inside the 'mushroom murder' trial that stunned the world | Unreported

  Sep 23, 202649 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan breaks down the Australian "mushroom murder" case that gripped the world. She's joined by Duncan McNab, a former police detective turned investigative journalist and author of “Recipe for Murder," who covered the trial from inside the courtroom. They discuss how Erin Patterson poisoned four lunch guests with death cap mushrooms, why she served herself on a different plate than her victims, how a wiped phone and a hidden dehydrator helped unravel her story and why investigators believe she may have been secretly poisoning her estranged husband for months before the fatal lunch. "It's an act of brutality. ... The most bizarre and the weirdest murder case I've ever looked at," McNab says. #Australia #truecrime #mushroommurder Follow Meagan! https://x.com/Producer_Meagan instagram.com/ProducerMeagan tiktok.com/ProducerMeagan CREDITS: Host: Meagan Medick Executive Producer: Andy Gipson, Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Will Tomasi, Christine Jenkinson Editor: Anthony Diasio NewsNation`s Unreported with Meagan Medick is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don`t make the headlines.

  The cycle no one wants to talk about: Fame, isolation and silence | Unreported

  Sep 16, 20261h 22m

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan asks whether a disturbing pattern of young Hollywood stars' struggles and deaths is coincidence or something more, joined by Isaac Weishaupt, an author, researcher and host of the podcast “Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt.” They discuss the theories swirling around Hayden Panettiere's death months after publishing a memoir describing her troubling teenage years, how occult symbolism and numerology show up across decades of Hollywood's biggest hits, the recurring pattern child stars describe falling into after being introduced to industry insiders and why so many young celebrities' public unravelings follow the same script. "There's clearly something happening, but what is it?" Weishaupt says.

  Security guard leaks footage of zoo 'creature'; zoo goes silent | Unreported

  Sep 3, 202649 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan digs into leaked security footage of an unidentified creature caught on camera at the Toledo Zoo, joined by paranormal investigators Colin Browen of "The Paranormal Files" and YouTube creator Kelsi Davies. They discuss whether the creature could be a shape-shifting "crawler" entity, why the zoo is refusing to authenticate or comment on the footage, the dark history buried beneath the zoo's grounds — including a reform school for boys that burned down — and why so many zoos across the country report their own unexplained paranormal activity. "There's clearly something happening ... but what is it?" Browen questions.

  Inside 'Operation Snow White': Scientology's war on government agencies | Unreported

  Sep 2, 20261h 1m

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan asks how Scientology allegedly infiltrated government agencies, targeted journalists and still walked away with tax-exempt status. Medick is joined by Tony Ortega, a journalist who has spent decades investigating the church and writes the website, The Underground Bunker. They discuss how Scientology's "fair game" policy is used to destroy critics, how the church allegedly bullied the IRS into restoring its tax-exempt status after running covert operations against individual agents, why celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta may be true believers rather than victims of blackmail, and how Danny Masterson's rape conviction exposed the church's cover-up culture. "They operate like an intelligence operation, a spy network. ... They operate like a mafia," Ortega says.

  Hugh Hefner reported Jeffrey Epstein to FBI, then nothing happened | Unreported

  Aug 26, 202641 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan digs into a former Playboy Playmate's allegations that Hugh Hefner reported Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI after learning she was being assaulted and trafficked — and wonders why nothing happened. Joining Medick is Tracy Walder, a former FBI special agent and CIA officer. They discuss how Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell may have sourced and sold information on women to traffic them, why an FBI tip like Hefner's should count as evidence of a crime rather than something agents can simply ignore, whether Epstein could have been protected as a valuable intelligence asset and why the lingering government secrecy around the Epstein files continues to erode public trust. "It's not like this far-off conspiracy theory... in real life, that happens," Walder says.
