Gulf Coast Confidential with Mollye Barrows
I’m Investigative Journalist Mollye Barrows. For years, I’ve covered the stories that made headlines in Northwest Florida and all along the Gulf Coast - murders, missing persons, and mysteries of all kinds. These cases are far from over for many victims because the full story has yet to surface. Join me for Gulf Coast Confidential, where I dive into the saltier side of the South and expose the lies, greed, and corruption that often weighs down the truth.

He called 9-1-1 to report the "suicide" and when officers responded they had no reason to doubt how she died until they started noticing inconsistencies.
Like why was Kendy's gun in the bathtub? Why wasn't there more blood if she died in the tub? And why w...

The 21-year-old rising senior was also in love with t...

Linda Duffey was such an animated character few questioned her wacky and wonky story about the sudden and violent death of her husband, Patrick, who was found dead on their living couch after Linda said she shot him twice in the head accidentally.

Two iconic fathers with adult, mentally health challenged sons. Movie director and actor Rob Reiner and renowned gospel, opera, and jazz singer Jubilant Sykes were both allegedly killed by their grown sons, a week apart, in the Los Angeles area.
The tragedies are similar in that the suspects are the victims' own children. Both young men, in their 30s, have substance abuse, addiction and mental health issues, in...
When did we start calling beat downs and assaults “hazing?”
Hazing is the word you use when you’re pledging a fraternity or a sorority and now it’s being used interchangeably with locker room bullying and brawls as well as isolated attacks on individuals.
Officially, hazing is strictly against the law when it’s part of abuse, but the word doesn’t hold a candle to the terror, anguish, and sometimes death victims expe...
Exactly two years ago I broke this story and remember standing beside the front door of Dr. Ben Brown’s office, Restore Plastic Surgery, where someone had left holiday poinsettias as a kind gesture after Brown’s wife, Hillary, had gone into cardiac arrest just on the other side of the door just before Thanksgiving 2023, after he had performed several procedures on her and later died.
Since then, Brown has been charg...
