Listen Now: Dr. Death: Bad Magic


00:00
Speaker 1
A couple of years ago, I remember hearing the very first episode of the podcast Dr. Death and thinking, wow, this is amazing. This is going to be a hit. Well, I didn't know the half of it. Dr. Death has become a full blown series and one of Wondery's most popular. That's because there's something eerily familiar in all these stories. An out of the world personality preys on the desperation of someone going through the worst moment of their life, seeking answers, seeking help. But what happens when that person providing the answers is someone you're supposed to trust? A doctor who promises hope, survival, a cure for AIDS. Wouldn't you do anything, he said, to save yourself? From Wondery comes the newest season of the renowned podcast Dr. Death. The newest season titled Bad Magic. And this isn't just some doctor, it's a famous one.

A man with prominent celebrity endorsements, a credible biotech business, a big reputation, and yes, a quirky fascination with magic. Make sure you don't miss this season, a story of deceit, narcissism, humanity, and murder. We're about to hear a clip from Dr. Death bad magic.

It was late on a freezing Saturday night in northern Vermont. Greg Davis was in his bedroom with his wife, Melissa, when they heard someone outside. Greg opened the door and saw a man standing there wearing a jacket and mask with the emblem of the US marshal. He was holding a rifle. Behind him in the driveway was a white Ford explorer with emergency lights flashing in its dash. The marshal said he had a warrant for Greg's arrest on racketeering charges, had been instructed to take him into custody and transport him to Virginia. Greg couldn't have known what this was all about. He was working in waste management. His friends and family knew him as a father of six, a businessman, and a devout Christian.


02:14

He went to his bedroom and told his pregnant wife what was happening, then packed a bag of clothes and walked out. Davis's twelve year old son watched from the upstairs window as the car pulled away. It was the last time he saw his father alive. The next afternoon, a car made its way along a quiet stretch of Peacham Road, about 15 miles from Greg Davis's farmhouse. It was another brutally cold day, barely cracking ten degrees. Just off the side of the road, the driver saw something out of place. It was a shape jutting out of the snowbank. There on the ground, partially covered by snow, was a man's body. His wrists were shackled. 22 caliber bullet wounds in his head and torso, with bullet casings speckling the snowbank. Greg Davis was dead. How had all this happened?


03:26
Speaker 2
Prosecutors would later claim it all traced back to a man whose life had long been cloaked in mystery and who was nowhere near Vermont that night.


03:37
Speaker 3
Well, good afternoon, everyone. It is truly my great pleasure to welcome Enochian Biosciences.


03:43
Speaker 2
Less than a year after Greg Davis'body was found in the Vermont snow, the CEO of an emerging biotech company stood at a sleek white lectern in Times Square.


03:54
Speaker 3
The very first time I met Rona Sinlev, our chairman, he told me, we'll be a Nasdaq listed company.


04:01
Speaker 2
Enochian Bioscience is now traded alongside tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, but the CEO wasn't taking the credit. The success of the company was largely thanks to a man who was standing just off stage, the man with the ideas that drove Enochian Biosciences to its 600 million dollar valuation. A man with short, dyed blonde hair, stubble, and an impish smile.


04:28
Speaker 3
The very first time I met Sarah Gumruku, our scientific founder, he told me, will be the company that will put an end to HIV AIDS.


04:42
Speaker 2
Dr. Sarah Gamrukchu at just 36 years old, Dr. Sarah was leading a mission to end HIV AIDS forever. He was also working on cures for cancer, hepatitis B, and a host of other diseases. His patients saw him as a miracle worker. His colleagues compared him to Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, and Einstein in one and the same person. But in a few years, he wouldn't be known for world changing treatments. He would be known as a fraud and a key suspect in a grisly murder.

Ukraine's $30 Billion Problem

00:05 Speaker 1 For the last two years, Ukraine has been fighting off a russian invasion. And this effort is exhausting and costly. To keep the country running, Ukraine has been relying on tens of billions of dollars from the US and the EU. But now that money me isn't flowing, what's at stake if Ukraine doesn't get. 00:31 Speaker 2 This money for Ukraine, the money that it's waiting on from the US and the EU determines its ability to fight the war? I think there's no way around that.
