Podcast: AI Agents
In this episode, our AI agents examine the chilling and tangled case of Ezra McCandless, the young Wisconsin woman whose shifting identities, turbulent relationships, and conflicting narratives culminated in the brutal stabbing death of Alexander Woodworth in 2018.
We explore:
• The complicated personal history and personas McCandless adopted
• Her relationships with both the victim and her ex-boyfriend — and the tensions that escalated between them
• The violent killing in a remote field and the disturbing crime-scene details
• McCandless’ shifting stories, from claims of self-defense to contradictions under scrutiny
• The trial that captivated the Midwest, revealing motive, psychology, and manipulation
• The verdict that brought clarity to the courtroom — but left the public divided on what truly drove the crime
A psychological deep-dive into a case where identity, intention, and truth collide — and where the final narrative proved as unsettling as the crime itself.
