NEW episode LIVE! Special guest: Dr. Veronica Gillispie-Bell
Many have known but few have had the data to contextualize until now--that pregnant and postpartum women are particularly vulnerable to violence, particularly black women and girls.
Better reporting and better access to quality healthcare can result in better outcomes for all.
In 1948 in Mississippi, socialite Ruth Dickins is convicted of savagely attacking her mother with gardening shears (150 stab wounds!) but makes an unfounded claim that a Black intruder is to blame. Despite inconsistencies in her story, she's sentenced to life, only to be released after 6 years. Joining us to dissect this case of matricide, race, and privilege is author Beverly Lowry, who explores the crime in her book, Deer Creek Drive: A Reckoning of Memory and Murder in the Mississippi Delta.
NEW episode drop! Fascinating discussion with Dr. David Gibson, author of Planting Clues: How Plants Solve Crimes
Did you know:
that there is a 'halo effect' or 'greening effect' to the vegetation surrounding a decomposed, buried body?
that someone who consumes fig seeds before they pass, can grow a fig tree from their corpse even on a Greek island?
that a forensic botanist can establish PMI or (postmortem interval) from a victim's stomach contents and possibly identify a last meal down to a Wendy's 🥗?
that Ted Bundy's infamous arrest at a traffic stop, had plant matter and soil in the tires of the stolen white van that later linked him to the site of his last known victim?
Be sure to tune in!!

Gather around the campfire! We are joined by special guest and Michelle's dad, John Bedford Jeanis, to discuss the secret but yes, well-documented, family legend of their ancestor, Jean Jeanis, who is believed by the folks of Pointe Noire to shift into a 'mangy dog' at will otherwise known as the Chien de Lune or the Rougarou.

Mark Michaud, a retired Slidell police officer, is a search and recovery expert and is the founder of Southeast Louisiana Underwater Search and Recovery 501c3, a nonprofit that offers something invaluable to the families of the missing. He shares with us some stories of recovery diving from his earlier years as well as the new advancements made to sonar. We learn some of the complexities of water recovery and how depth, current, temperature, and time of year are all a factor. We also learned a new word, saponification or as we prefer : "soapify."

NEW Episode LIVE. Discussing LISK.
Thanks to forensic genetic genealogy and a pizza crust, in July of 2023 a perpetrator was arrested in connection with the case of the Long Island Serial Killings known as (LISK). Described as 'Ogre -like' in witness reports at 6'4 , 59-year-old Manhattan architect and Massapequa Park resident, Rex Heuermann, has been linked to the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello of "The Giglo Four" and is a prime suspect in the murder of the fourth victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. In total, 11 remains of sex workers who were targeted on Craigslist were discovered on the South shore of Long Island from 1996-2011, some of who remain unidentified. It is believed he could be linked to more deaths in Las Vegas and South Carolina where he had properties.
