186. Father, father, father: Marvin Gaye’s tragic death

Posted on November 20, 2025 by maureenmilliken

Singer and songwriter Marvin Gaye made beautiful music, but what most people didn’t know until his tragic death at his father’s hand was that his life growing up with Marvin Gaye Sr. had been anything but. What led up to the Gaye’s April 1, 1984, shooting death? Rebecca tells the story.

Maureen takes on iconic true crime series “Dateline” in our Negative Nellies Watching review.

We also have updates on the Cocoanut Grove fire, one of the stranger cases from our 2023 Maine Homicide List and the ongoing Brian Walshe murder trial.

Episode 70: If she died in the tub, wave the red flag

Posted on October 19, 2019 by maureenmilliken

Shele Danishefsky was fed up with her unemployed (except for those professional backgammon tournaments), abusive husband. Unfortunately, two days before she was going to make sure he didn’t get access to her $5 million in assets in their divorce, she had an accident in the bathtub…

Funny how many women with bad husbands that happens to.
