This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

In 1991 in a small, rural town in Wisconsin, five members of the Brenizer/Berentson family left their home to go shopping.  When they didn’t return, 15-year-old Bruce was concerned that his father, stepmother, and sisters were missing.  As the investigation unfolded, rumors of an ax murderer or satanic worship were afoot, but when the truth was revealed, it was much worse than anyone in this small town could imagine.

In September of 1996, 15-year-old Danielle “Danni” Houchins was found lifeless and face down in a marshy area in Belgrade, Montana. The local sheriff’s department ruled her cause of death as drowning and her manner of death as undetermined. The sheriff told the press that there were no indications of foul play, despite autopsy findings showing the exact opposite. For 24 years, Danni’s case continued to grow cold, despite her family’s insistence that her death wasn’t an accident until a retired LAPD detective entered the chat and refused to quit.

What happens when you turn a "bullshit" police raid into a viral rap song? In August 2022, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office raided Afroman’s home looking for a basement dungeon that didn't exist. When no charges were filed, Afroman did what he does best: he made music. Using security and bodycam footage, he released hits like "Lemon Pound Cake" and "Randy Walters," leading seven officers to sue him for defamation and false light.

Join Tyrella and Nikita as they break down the March 2026 civil trial, the "actual malice" standard for public officials, and the "diabolically funny" moments in the courtroom—from "reshuffling" seized cash to a witness who didn't know if his own wife had cheated. It’s a masterclass in the First Amendment, parody as criticism, and why you should never mess with Afroman's mom’s pound cake.

In the early 1990s, New Orleans was known as the "Murder Capital of America," but the most dangerous criminals weren't just on the streets—some were wearing badges. Today on This Feels Criminal, Tyrella and Nikita break down Operation Shattered Shield, the massive FBI sting that exposed deep-seated corruption within the NOPD.

We follow the story of the Hardy Brothers, a violent drug syndicate protected by the very officers sworn to stop them. At the center of it all is Officer Len Davis, a man so feared he was nicknamed "The Desire Projects Terrorist." When 32-year-old mother Kim Groves filed a brutality complaint against him, she had no idea she was signing her own death warrant.

In this episode, we discuss:


The Hardy Boys: How Wayne and Paul Hardy built a drug empire with help from inside the police department.


The FBI Sting: How an undercover agent posing as a Miami dealer caught NOPD officers guarding shipments of cocaine.


The Betrayal of Kim Groves: The heartbreaking story of a mother who stood up for her community and the chilling moment her murder was caught on an FBI wire.


The Aftermath: The fallout of the 2012 DOJ consent decree and the quest for reform in New Orleans.

While Peter tragically succumbed to his injuries after attempting his morning routine, Joan survived to offer a chilling clue to investigators.

Did he really kill his father and attempt to murder his mother?
