The Gilded Rage: Ep. 1

2026-10-22

The Gilded Rage starts with an email from Penelope “Penny” McGee, who says she was sexually assaulted as a teenager in 1981 by an entitled man who has never been held accountable. What starts as one woman’s search for justice unfolds into a sprawling investigation—through police reports, court records, and firsthand testimony—revealing a disturbing pattern of allegations surrounding the same man, missed warnings, and an investigation riddled with inconsistencies. And host Lauren Malloy and producer Aliza Rosen find something even more sinister: the same man was implicated in the mysterious 1985 death of Sherri Clark, an 18-year old freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Where can you listen?

One autumn night in 1997, 18-year-old Anastasia WitbolsFeugen is found brutally murdered, her body discovered in a place meant for eternal rest. But nothing about this case would prove peaceful or simple. Investigative journalist Leah Rothman peels back the layers of a haunting case that defies everything you thought you knew about murder investigations. Does it all come down to one recorded phone call or an eyewitness who may not have seen a thing? Who killed this promising young woman and why? Who is telling the truth and who has a motive to lie? This season's hit podcast promises a heart-stopping journey through a teen tragedy so complex, so twisted, that each episode will leave you questioning: who is The Real Killer?
