Hey friends, Nina here. You know that

0:04

I love the Dr. Death series from

0:06

Wondery and there's a new season. We

0:09

are all too familiar with these kinds of

0:11

stories and out of this world

0:13

personality preys on the desperation of someone going

0:15

through the worst moment of their life, seeking

0:19

answers, seeking help. But

0:21

what happens when that person providing the

0:23

answers is someone you're supposed to trust,

0:26

a doctor, someone who

0:29

promises hope, survival, care for

0:31

AIDS. Wouldn't you do

0:33

anything he said to save yourself? From

0:37

Wondery comes the newest season of

0:39

the renowned podcast, Dr. Death. The

0:42

newest season is titled Bad Magic.

0:45

And this isn't just some doctor, it's

0:47

a famous doctor, a man

0:50

with prominent celebrity endorsements, a

0:52

credible biotech business, big

0:54

reputation, and yes, a

0:57

quirky fascination with magic. Don't

1:00

miss this season. Story

1:03

of deceit, narcissism, humanity,

1:05

and murder. I'm

1:08

about to play a clip from Dr. Death

1:10

Bad Magic. Follow Dr. Death

1:12

or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:29

It was late on a freezing Saturday

1:31

night in Northern Vermont. Greg

1:34

Davis was in his bedroom with his

1:36

wife, Melissa, when they heard

1:38

someone outside. Greg

1:46

opened the door and saw a man

1:48

standing there wearing a jacket and mask

1:50

with the emblem of the US Marshal.

1:53

He was holding a rifle. Behind

1:56

him in the driveway was a white

1:58

Ford Explorer with a emergency lights

2:00

flashing in its dash. The

2:03

marshal said he had a warrant for Greg's

2:05

arrest on racketeering charges. He'd

2:08

been instructed to take him into custody

2:10

and transport him to Virginia. Greg

2:13

couldn't have known what this was all about. He

2:16

was working in waste management. His

2:18

friends and family knew him as a father of

2:20

six, a businessman, and a

2:22

devout Christian. He

2:25

went to his bedroom and told his pregnant

2:27

wife what was happening. Then packed

2:29

a bag of clothes and knocked out.

2:35

Davis' 12-year-old son watched from the

2:37

upstairs window as the car pulled

2:40

away. It

2:42

was the last time he saw his

2:44

father alive. The

2:51

next afternoon, the car made its way

2:53

along a quiet stretch of Peachham Road,

2:55

about 15 miles from

2:57

Greg Davis' farmhouse. It

3:00

was another brutally cold day,

3:02

barely cracking 10 degrees. Just

3:07

off the side of the road, the driver saw

3:09

something out of place. It

3:11

was a shape jutting out of the snow

3:14

bank. There

3:16

on the ground, partially covered by

3:18

snow, was a man's body.

3:21

His wrists were shackled, 22 caliber

3:23

bullet wounds in his head and

3:25

torso, with bullet casings speckling the snow

3:28

bank. Greg

3:30

Davis was dead. How

3:34

had all this happened? Prosecutors

3:37

would later claim it all traced back

3:39

to a man whose life had long been

3:41

cloaked in mystery and who

3:43

was nowhere near Vermont that night. Well,

3:48

good afternoon, everyone. It is truly

3:50

my great pleasure to welcome an

3:52

Okean biosciences. Less than

3:54

a year after Greg Davis' body was

3:56

found in the Vermont snow, the

3:59

CEO of an emergency. The emerging biotech company

4:01

stood at a sleek white lectern

4:03

in Times Square. The

4:05

very first time I met René Cilleb, our

4:07

chairman, he told me we'll be a NASA-atlisted

4:09

company. Enochian

4:12

biosciences now traded alongside tech

4:14

giants like Apple and Microsoft.

4:17

But the CEO wasn't taking the credit.

4:20

The success of the company was largely

4:22

thanks to a man who was standing

4:24

just off stage. The

4:26

man with the ideas that drove Enochian

4:28

biosciences to its $600 million valuation. The

4:33

man with short dyed blonde hair,

4:35

stubble and an impish smile. The

4:38

very first time I met Serab

4:40

Gomruku, our scientific founder, he told

4:42

me we'll be the company that

4:44

will put an end to HIV

4:46

AIDS. Dr.

4:52

Serhat Gomruku. At

4:55

just 36 years old, Dr. Serhat

4:57

was leading a mission to end

4:59

HIV AIDS forever. He

5:02

was also working on cures for cancer,

5:04

hepatitis B and a host of other

5:06

diseases. His patients saw

5:08

him as a miracle order. His

5:11

colleagues compared him to Leonardo da

5:13

Vinci, Nikola Tesla and Einstein in

5:15

one and the same person. But

5:18

in a few years, he wouldn't be

5:20

known for world gg treatments. He

5:23

would be known as a fraud and

5:25

a key suspect in a grisly

5:28

murder. Binge
