Listener, the story I am about to tell you is about greed, power and control exerted in the coldest way imaginable. On a normal day in July 2015 in Escambia County, Florida, three members of the same family got up in the morning and set about their daily routine. They didn’t know the brutality that was going to be rained on them, snatching away their lives before the day was done.

Since the late 90s Khan Tusion has held the crown as the boogie man of the adult industry. He showed up in 1999 and immediately made a stamp as being particularly cruel. It was the dot com boom and adult websites were created in the thousands. Khan specialized in pushing limits and avoiding consent. Women showed up to shoots only to leave crying and traumatized. Khan Tusion would punch, kick, slap, and strangle.

Listener, today's story is a study in consequences—the kind that sneak up on you in the silence after a mistake. We begin with a personal tale: a moment of breaking, a walk into the night, and the cold realization of what it costs to leave something behind. But it’s in the second half where things truly darken. In Vancouver, Washington, CDL driver Mark Fogel crashes his vehicle after drinking and spirals into a mental and emotional freefall that ends in bloodshed. A simple DUI becomes a fatal standoff, and a man already undone by guilt crosses a line that can’t be uncrossed.

Listener, not every tragic end comes with intent—but some do. And this one… it’s hard to forget.
