As with all great manhunts, our acclaimed podcast series Megan Wants a Murderer has come to an end, starring Megan superfan Lydia Bugg, series creator Seanbaby, and amateur reality show murder investigator, Robert Brockway. Listen to episode five now to finally find out which contestant from the 2009 show Megan Wants a Millionaire was the killer! And more importantly, learn if Brockway deduced it!
We discuss the final, unaired episode where Megan had the aspiring woman-buyers play a game that’s going to sound like I’m making it up because we’re doing a murder-hunting podcast about it, but it’s this: they wear each other’s faces and perform skits as the others. Then Megan asks each of them probing questions written by the men trying to destroy them. It’s an activity too cruel and stupid to be fun, but weirdly perfect for helping a podcaster guess which man is a killer 12 years later.
Was it Lipless Al, the man who spent the entire episode in a fussy rage?
Was it Corey, the collective of fungus piloting a man shell?
Could the murderer be Canadian Ryan, the homophobic dick who only feels joy when he is hurting others?
Brockway made it through this entire podcast series without ever looking it up. Maybe he thinks it could still be Corey?
When asked to put on other men’s faces and become them, the contestants revealed many new personal failings and character flaws. Maybe Brockway should revisit some of the suspects he eliminated. Could the killer be Francisco or Punisher?
Brockway still considers Foot Collector Dave, the pathetic, horny quitter to be a lead suspect. Could he be right?
Wait, has Brockway checked with cartoonishly obvious mafia hitman, Big Mike, to see if he was the killer?
As the episode continues, Brockway collects data and builds possible narratives. You can listen in real time as his keen mind traps the murderer a mere 12 years after he was caught!
Brockway even considers T.J., the man so generic we didn’t learn his name for four episodes.
In the end, Brockway had only his wits and 220 minutes of deceptively edited reality show footage to find the culprit. Did he do it!? Find out wherever you listen to podcasts! Like and review! Thank you to Liddy, our patrons, Megan, all the non-murderer contestants, and the amorality of late ’00s TV producers!
We also thank Corey.
We also are Corey.

absolutely no hyperbole at all – i am not prepared for this series of podcasts to end. i know not every reality tv show can be linked to a brutal murder, at least, not directly, but please make more podcast series, it’s been great!
This run has reminded me of the late, great Earwolf podcast The Reality Show Show, by the Hollywood Handbook boyos.
Is it wrong that the part that most unnerves me about that this is that production took so long that at least one of the guys met and married someone else in the time it took between the end of filming and the first episode airing? Just like not spoiling the murderer *cough-the entire cast and the caterer-cough* I don’t want to spoil who ended up married (to not Megan)
Just wanted to come back and say thank you for the great run on the podcast. I loved how much you could tell Lydia was enjoying the assignment.
