We are all too familiar with these kinds of stories, and out of this world, personality praise 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 Wundry, comes the newest season of the renowned podcast, Dr. Death, the newest season titled Bad Magic. 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. Don't miss this season, a story of deceit, narcissism, humanity, and murder. I'm about to play 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. He 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. He went to his bedroom and told his pregnant wife what was happening. Evening, then packed a bag of clothes and walked out. Davis' 12-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 10 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? 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.

Well, good afternoon, everyone. It is truly my great pleasure to welcome Enokian Biosciences.

Less than a year after Greg Davis's body was found in the Vermont snow, the CEO of an emerging biotech company stood at a slick white lectern in Times Square.

The very first time I met Ronestin Lev, our chairman, he told me we'll be a Nasdaq-listed company.

Enokian Biosciences has 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 Enokian Biosciences to its $600 million valuation. A man with short-dyed blonde hair, stubble, and an impish smile.

The very first time I met Serad Kumruku, our scientific founder. He told me, We'll be the company that will put an end to HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Serhat Gumruku. At just 36 years old, Dr. Serhat 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 grizzly murder.
