The story doesn’t end when the sirens stop. Hosted by Kiara and Tanesha, Aftermath is a deep-dive investigative series by the Main Event Mamas. We decompress from the headlines to look at the "hidden" chapters of true crime: the digital manhunts, the courtroom fever dreams, and the resilient families who turn their pain into power.
From the streets of Oakland to the suburbs of DC, we examine not just the crime, but the wake it leaves behind.

Case File #003: The MacArthur Station Tragedy (Nia Wilson)
"The streets had the reach." On a warm Sunday night in Oakland, a routine BART transfer turned into a national tragedy. When 18-year-old Nia Wilson was targeted in a sudden, unprovoked attack, the Bay Area didn't wait for the evening news—they took to the digital streets. Kiara and Tanesha deconstruct the "Digital Manhunt" that captured a killer in 24 hours and the bizarre "alien conspiracy" legal battle that followed.

Case File #002: Three Weeks of Hell (The DC Sniper)
"A city under siege." In October 2002, the Beltway was paralyzed by a white van, a blue Chevy Caprice, and a series of random shots that could come from anywhere. We revisit the twenty-three days of terror orchestrated by John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. From the cryptic tarot cards left at scenes to the psychological fallout of a city that couldn't pump gas without fear, we look at the scars this spree left on the East Coast.

Case File #001: The Grim Sleeper (Lonnie Franklin Jr.)
"Twenty-five years of silence." For over two decades, a predator terrorized South Los Angeles, hiding in plain sight while the system turned a blind eye to his victims. We dive into the chilling history of the "Grim Sleeper," the investigative failures that allowed him to vanish for years at a time, and the revolutionary "familial DNA" breakthrough that finally ended his reign.
