The Expert Witness from Uncover

Don Malarcik might finally uncover how Cybercheck works, as its creator Adam Mosher travels to Ohio to demonstrate the software to Don’s legal team and independent experts. While parts of the program appear functional, its core AI remains hidden, and Mosher refuses to provide full access or explain how it reaches conclusions that place suspects at crime scenes. His answers raise concerns about bias, and when he claims Cybercheck was peer-reviewed by a Canadian university, Don discovers the university denies any involvement. Believing this proves Mosher misled the court, Don prepares for a decisive hearing that could determine whether Cybercheck is legitimate evidence—or junk science.

As Don connects with Colorado defense attorney Eric Zale, they compare notes and troubling inconsistencies emerge—Adam Mosher’s claims about his experience, expertise, and courtroom testimony don’t hold up under scrutiny. Investigators discover that key cases Mosher cited either never went to trial or never involved him at all, leading prosecutors in Colorado to drop charges rather than rely on his evidence. But in Akron, Cybercheck remains in use, and Mosher continues testifying under oath despite mounting doubts. Determined to stop what he believes is a dangerous and unverified system, Don launches a broader effort, reaching out to other defense attorneys and building a coalition to expose the truth—knowing the outcome could affect not just his clients, but the future of criminal justice itself.

In the ‘parallel universe’ of Boulder Colorado, defense attorney Eric Zale is working on a very similar case. A report claims to link a suspect to incriminating online activity, but offers no clear explanation of how it works or how its conclusions were reached. Unaware of Zale or any other Cybercheck cases outside of Akron, Don Malarcik continues to dig deeper. Don hires experts and investigators, but no one can verify Cyber Check’s methods or it’s creator Adam Mosher’s credentials. Meanwhile, prosecutors continue relying on the technology, presenting it as powerful, cutting-edge evidence. As Don prepares to challenge Mosher in court, he realizes he’s not just defending one client—he’s confronting a black-box system that could quietly reshape how guilt is determined, without transparency or accountability.

On June 11, 1998, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Aujay set out for a run in California’s Devil’s Punchbowl park — and never came back. Aujay has yet to be found. The Sheriff’s Department rules Aujay’s disappearance a suicide, but friends, family, and fellow deputies insist the story doesn’t add up. Instead, they believe Aujay may have stumbled into the Mojave Desert’s criminal underworld — where outlaw biker gangs crank out methamphetamine and local cops operate on both sides of the law.

The Outlaw Ocean is an anthology podcast that plunges you into the vast and often lawless world of the open seas. Today we're featuring an investigation from S2 called The Shrimp Factory Whistleblower.  In this episode, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ian Urbina joins Josh Farenello. What started off as a dream job, slowly revealed itself to be a nightmare. Josh moved to southern India to oversee a shrimp-processing plant, but it soon dawned on him that he’d been really been hired as an American face to “whitewash” a forced-labour factory. The largely female employees were effectively trapped on the compound, routinely underpaid, and forced to live in inhumane, unsanitary conditions. Over several months, Josh meticulously gathered evidence that he brought to the Outlaw Ocean team for this exclusive exposé.
