Show Notes
Imagine sitting in an interrogation room, terrified, exhausted, and completely isolated. Under intense pressure from a notoriously aggressive detective, you sign a piece of paper just to make the nightmare stop—not realizing you’ve just signed your own death warrant.
This week on Slippery, we break down the harrowing case of Marilyn Mulero. In 1992, a horrific gang-related double murder in Chicago's Humboldt Park set off a rush for justice. Enter Detective Reynaldo Guevara, a cop whose track record for "solving" cases has since come under devastating scrutiny. Marilyn was sent straight to death row based almost entirely on a coerced confession for a crime she didn't commit.
How does a system designed to protect the innocent end up stealing nearly three decades of a woman’s life? We track Marilyn’s grueling, 27-year fight for survival from inside a maximum-security cell, the stunning legal breakthrough that finally changed everything, and her new chapter on the outside. Plus, learn the shocking truth about what happened to the man with a badge who stole her freedom?

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
