This week, Rose shares what might be our craziest story yet!!

In the fall of 2012, a chance encounter at an auto body shop in Omaha sparked a connection between Dave Kroupa and Cari Farver. Little did they know, this would lead to a web of deception and a chilling murder mystery.

As their casual relationship evolved, Cari's sudden disappearance left Dave puzzled and Cari's family worried. Messages from Cari took a dark turn, hinting at a troubled mind. Was it a mental health crisis or something more sinister?

The investigation took unexpected twists. Dave and Liz Golyar, his ex-girlfriend, were thrust into a chilling game orchestrated by an unseen puppeteer. Threats, stalking, and even a house fire unfolded, leaving everyone on edge.

Liz, once thought to be a victim, emerged as a suspect, pointing fingers at Dave's long-time ex, Amy. The detectives played a strategic game, allowing Liz to believe they bought her story. Little did she know, the noose was tightening around her own web of lies.

This twisted tale serves as a stark reminder that truth can be stranger than fiction, and the line between reality and deception is thinner than we think.

Join us for this spooky Halloween episode as we step back in time to the chilling winter of 1692 when the quaint Puritan village of Salem, Massachusetts was plagued by inexplicable events. 11-year-old Abigail Williams and 9-year-old Elizabeth Parris displayed eerie symptoms, sending the town into a frenzy of fear and paranoia. Witchcraft accusations and hysteria gripped the community, all ignited by none other than Samuel Parris, the village's own pastor.

This witch hunt relied heavily on spectral evidence – accusations based on dreams and visions. The court believed that spirits, guided by the accused, caused harm through ethereal means. A spectacle for all to witness, these trials weren't conducted in secrecy; they were a public spectacle filled with dramatic reactions from the supposed victims.

By 1693, a Superior Court cleared out the jails and even pardoned those who were to be executed in January 1693. But the damage had been done, with 19 executions and around 160 people accused and imprisoned.

In a symbolic gesture, Massachusetts publicly acknowledged the grave error in 1957. They continued to clear the names of the accused witches into the early 2000s. Salem, once a place of fear, has turned its history into a thriving tourism industry, dedicated to the lessons of mass hysteria and injustice.

Listen to the episode for a journey through history and a powerful reminder of the consequences of fear and paranoia.

Listen this week as Lynn manages to call the incredible artist and activist, Kathe Kollwitz, by everything but her actual name while Rose laughs uncontrollably.

Kathe's work, often characterized by its raw emotional intensity, delves into themes of poverty, injustice, and the impact of war on everyday people. Her haunting prints and sculptures convey deep empathy for the suffering of others, serving as a call to action for social change.

Kathe's dedication to the pursuit of social justice and her ability to channel her experiences into art is an inspiration to us all. Her art speaks volumes about the human condition, urging us to never turn a blind eye to the struggles of those less fortunate.

Let's celebrate Kathe Kollwitz's legacy by continuing to fight for a more just and compassionate world, using our voices, and our talents to make a difference.

In the summer of 1942, when darkness cast its shadow, Marion Pritchard emerged as a beacon of hope.

Marion became a lifeline for Jewish children, finding hiding places, providing fake documents, and delivering essential supplies. Her actions, including the daring rescue of a family with three children, showed incredible dedication.

Marion's courage knew no bounds. By the end of WWII, Marion admitted to breaking nearly every commandment, except perhaps the first. Her actions were driven by a deep sense of duty and humanity. She exemplified the belief that Jews, just as much as gentiles, were active in rescue operations.

The recent revelations of abuse within the National Women’s Soccer League have sparked a crucial conversation about player safety and well-being.
