  • 97: Merlin Santana Case Explained: How a Rumor Led to a Deadly Shooting
    Feb 25 2026
    In this episode of That’s Disturbing, we break down the shocking murder of Merlin Santana, the young actor gunned down in Los Angeles after a false accusation spiraled into deadly revenge. What started as a lie became a setup. What should have been a confrontation became an execution. We unpack the timeline, the motive, and the disturbing chain reaction that ended in murder. Because sometimes… the most disturbing part isn’t the crime. It’s how easily it could have been avoided.

  • 96: The Coast to Coast Killer: A Serial Killer With No M.O.
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode, we’re talking about the self proclaimed Coast to Coast Killer, Tommy Lynn Sells, a man who drifted across the United States leaving absolute chaos behind him. No victim type. No consistent method. No warning. Just violence, randomness, and fear stretching from one coast to the other, or so he said. Gayle breaks down how Sells managed to evade capture for years, the disturbing details of his crimes, and the confessions that only made this case more unsettling. Eat your saltines and die!
