A Family Annihilation in Moscow

On March 23rd 2022, affluent Russian businessman Vasily Melnikov was found dead alongside his family in their upscale Moscow apartment. They’d all been stabbed to death: Vasily, his wife, and their two sons aged 4 and 10 years old. The killings were brutal and tragic. In the crime scene photos one of the murder weapons can be seen. It's a Russian Special Forces combat knife... In this episode we investigate the Melnikov family annihilation. Did Vasily kill his whole family as the Russian police claim, or is something else going on?

Season 2 Trailer

When an angry crowd of MAGA supporters were seen storming the Capitol Building on January 6th, the whole world was suddenly forced to reckon with the power of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Quickly though, after Trump lost the election, the QAnon reporting was dropped from the news cycle. Many presumed that QAnon was finished. After all, Q himself has vanished, none of their predictions came true, and Trump is out. Surely they’d lose steam? Sadly, no. QAnon has gone underground and the adherents are becoming more hardcore than ever. Something very disturbing is brewing in the world of Q, so join us for season two of Q Clearance as we document the wild evolution of QAnon without its leader. Episode one lands June 8th. You can hear it on the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
