Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the true crime podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True crime.
STS host and award-winning journalist Joel Waldman brings us up to date in the latest investigation of missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki. Sudiksha was in the Dominican Republic on a trip with college friends when she vanished on March 6th, 2025. It's now been 11 days and no one knows where Sudiksha is. We're hoping and praying she's okay but these cases don't always end well...
Police are holding the passport of an American man who was last seen Sudiksha on surveillance videos. What are investigators doing to rule him out? Has the situation escalated...? Could he become a suspect or is this all a tragic drowning accident?
Our STS #BESTGuests break it all down for us. #BestGuests include:

Additionally, text messages exchanged between the surviving roommates on the night of the murders add a new layer to the timeline, and Kohberger’s defense is now arguing that his autism diagnosis could impact his trial.

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending cases like the shocking allegations against the Alexander Brothers.
Seven new lawsuits have been filed against Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, adding to the growing legal troubles of the once high-profile real estate moguls. The latest accusations, brought as a legal deadline closed, now bring the total to 24 lawsuits, spanning both civil and criminal courts.
The allegations describe a disturbing pattern of sexual assault, drugging, and trafficking—with claims dating back over a decade. The brothers, who were arrested in December on federal sex-trafficking charges, remain jailed in New York and are set to face trial in 2026.
Even more shocking, these latest lawsuits expand the net of accountability to include the Alexander brothers’ parents, their family business, real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman, and even an estate owner in the Hamptons—all accused of enabling or turning a blind eye to the alleged abuse.
With new victims coming forward, the scandal has rocked the world of luxury real estate, where the Alexander name once carried power. Are the lawsuits a search for justice—or, as the defense claims, a cash grab?
We break down the latest developments with the #BestGuests, bringing you expert analysis on this explosive case.

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on America’s biggest trending cases.
Big trouble for Donna Adelson as the judge denies two major motions from her defense team:
1️⃣ No Bond: Adelson’s plea for release, citing a laundry list of health issues, was rejected—meaning she stays behind bars.
2️⃣ Vietnam Escape Call Allowed: The court ruled that a damning phone call about her discussing a one-way ticket to Vietnam can be used as evidence against her.
With jury selection set for June 3, these rulings could be devastating for the Adelson matriarch. What does this mean for her upcoming murder trial? Our top legal experts break it all down!

To everyone's surprise, Defendant Donna Adelson, who faces murder charges in the case of her ex son in law Dan Markel, took the stand in a motion hearing where she displayed an emotional side--and shared a lot of insight into how she's spending her time behind bars--and the alleged abuse she's been facing.
Donna Adelson and her defense team filed motions to have jail house calls removed from the trial's evidence and is asking that she allowed to go on house arrest until her trial begins in June.
Donna Adelson will go on trial for the murder of his ex son-in-law Dan Markel who was shot and killed in 2014 in a murder for hire plot. Dan Markel was married to Wendi Adelson, Donna's only daughter. Donna's other child, Charlie Adelson, is now in prison after her was tried and convicted of being involved in the murder for hire plot, too.
This is a true crime case out of Tallahassee, Florida where Donna now awaits her trial in the Leon County Jail.

Newly uncovered DNA evidence could dramatically impact the case against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022.
DNA from two unidentified males—one found on a handrail inside the home and another on a glove outside—has sparked heated debate. Kohberger’s legal team argues this evidence could prove his innocence, despite the prosecution’s key piece of evidence: Kohberger’s DNA on the knife sheath found at the crime scene.

Welcome to the podcast that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.
The Jared Bridegan murder-for-hire case takes a shocking turn as Henry Tenon, the confessed gunman, backtracks on his previous testimony, claiming it was false. In response, defense attorneys for Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez successfully motioned to obtain Tenon’s jail phone records, which could unravel the entire case.
Judge London Kite also authorized the Secret Service to transfer encrypted evidence for forensic review.
But wait...there's more. The alleged mastermind behind the murder, ex-wife Shanna Gardner, is also getting into trouble behind bars and she now has a new lover...and is gushing to her family about them.
With Gardner and Fernandez facing murder charges for the ambush-style 2022 killing of Bridegan, this new development raises questions about Tenon’s credibility and the future of the prosecution’s case.
We'll dig into all of this in today's episode.
