Reality Life with Kate Casey

The story of the Kissel brothers, two wealthy siblings murdered on opposite sides of the world within three years of each other. Robert Kissel, a Merrill Lynch executive in Hong Kong, was killed by his wife Nancy in November 2003 in a case that became known internationally as the Milkshake Murder. Less than three years later, his older brother Andrew, a Greenwich, Connecticut real estate developer facing federal fraud charges, was found stabbed to death in his own home. This episode covers both cases in full: the collapse of Robert and Nancy's marriage inside Hong Kong's expatriate finance world, Nancy's two trials and her conviction, overturned conviction, and second conviction, and the murder-for-hire investigation into who killed Andrew, including the eventual pleas, verdicts, and the question of who actually held the knife. The episode closes with where the case stands today and where to watch more, including Dateline NBC, 48 Hours Mystery, American Greed, and the 2008 Lifetime movie The Two Mr. Kissels starring John Stamos.

John Henion, director of Netflix's new documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young, joins the show to unpack the rise and fall of the Texas Longhorns legend, from his childhood in Houston's Hiram Clarke neighborhood, raised by his mother and grandmother while his father was in and out of prison, through his legendary run at Texas under Mack Brown, and into the conflict-riddled NFL career that followed. On January 4th, 2006, Vince Young delivered what's still argued to be the greatest individual performance in college football history, 467 total yards and a game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left, beating USC to give Texas its first national title in 35 years, and the Rose Bowl made him a legend. What came after became a cautionary tale: a bruising relationship with the Tennessee Titans, a leaked Wonderlic score that followed him for years, a very public mental health scare, and a $26 million bankruptcy. The film culminates in how Vince has worked to become the present, hands-on father he never had.

Chris DeRosa joins Kate to discuss season 3 of Love Is Blind: UK on Netflix. They break down this exceptionally attractive cast, the hilariously dramatic music, the differences between the UK and American versions, and the couples heading toward the weddings. They discuss Ciara’s expensive expectations and habit of stirring the pot, Jack and Faye’s chances of making it down the aisle, Ryan’s mysterious career and the Reddit rabbit hole surrounding his work, why Yasmin deserves the world, and whether Sophie and Taylor could become one of the franchise’s most successful couples. Chris and Kate make their wedding predictions, pick the cast members most likely to cause chaos at the reunion, and explain why this season’s biggest problem may be that the British cast is simply too polite.

Alexa Berger is producer of Netflix’s three-part documentary series Death of the Pastor’s Wife. The series tells the story of Mica Miller, a 30-year-old pastor’s wife from South Carolina whose April 2024 death was ruled a suicide. Mica grew up deeply rooted in her faith and met John-Paul “JP” Miller, a pastor sixteen years her senior, when she was 13. Years later, the two married, and Mica became a prominent presence in his church. As their marriage deteriorated, allegations of abuse, coercive control, surveillance, and harassment emerged, and Mica began speaking publicly about abusive relationships. Two days after serving JP with divorce papers, she was found dead in a North Carolina state park. Featuring never-before-seen footage and firsthand accounts from Mica’s family and friends, Death of the Pastor’s Wife examines her life, marriage, final months, and the troubling questions that emerged after her death.
