Scams, Money, & Murder

In 1802, a journalist reported that President Thomas Jefferson was keeping an enslaved woman named Sally Hemings as a concubine and had fathered her children. Jefferson said nothing. His family denied it. America's most prominent historians dismissed the story for nearly two hundred years.

But Hemings' own descendants told a different story, one passed down through generations of oral history that the white historical establishment refused to take seriously. Did the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence have a secret family with a woman he enslaved? And if he did, why did it take the country so long to admit it? In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson revisits one of the most contested questions in American history, and the family that refused to let it go.

Andrew Erics is a twenty-five-year-old factory worker in New York City who passes his daily commute by people-watching... until he notices riders who are too still, too blank, and going absolutely nowhere. What begins as quiet curiosity slowly consumes his job, his sanity, and finally his freedom, pulling him into an impossible underground world he may never escape. And the deeper he follows, the more he transforms into the very thing that unsettled him.
