Show Notes
In this gripping episode we pull back the curtain on one of the most baffling and notorious hoaxes in recent history: the disappearance of Sherri Papini.
We are joined by former FBI Agent Denise Farmer and Melissa Morolla, formerly of the FBI’s legendary Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) who both worked on the notorious case.
Farmer gives us an exclusive, insider look at what was really happening behind the scenes during the years-long federal investigation. From the initial frantic search to the growing inconsistencies that ultimately cracked the case wide open. Agent Farmer reveals the hidden turning points that the public never saw during her investigation, while Morolla breaks down the psychological anatomy of the deception. Morolla explains the complex motivations behind the fabrication and provides a fascinating look into the mind of a master manipulator, explaining exactly how and why Sherri continues to alter her narrative to this day.

In this inaugural debrief episode, co-hosts Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello pull back the curtain on the opening chapters of The Lexi CON. Joined by the two tipsters whose relentless digging blew the case wide open—Ally Lifsey (a Nashville nurse) and her friend Sarah (also a nurse)—Scott and Nancy explore how a decade-long medical fabrication began to unravel.
Lexi Thomas doesn’t just tell stories—she controls them. As her alleged illness morphs into an all-out cancer battle, her emotional blog posts rally an entire community, launching massive fundraisers, charity games, and tens of thousands of dollars in donations.
To her tight-knit Maryland community, Lexi Thomas was the picture of devout resilience. She was a courageous young woman facing a sudden medical crisis in 2012. Anchored by her blog—where every post opened with Romans 8:28—Lexi shaped a story of suffering, divine trust, and cutting-edge treatments that inspired an entire community to rally around her and donate thousands of dollars.
In this episode, Scott and Nancy check in on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum Jen Shah before taking a sharp turn into one of the wilder sports-and-faith financial controversies: the high-pressure wealth seminars fronted by former Heisman winner Tim Tebow. Later in the episode, the hosts answer viewer feedback and drop an exclusive sizzle reel for their upcoming project, The Lexi CON. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
