Episode 119 is Live!

This was a very important episode to cover as it tackles the problem of toxic/unhealthy relationships and the danger they present. My good friends at the Gabby Petito Foundation are working with various partners to try and bring about awareness of this issue and I hope this episode does the same.

In 2016, high school student Emma Walker was found deceased on her bed with a single gunshot wound to the head. Her ex boyfriend, who had cultivated an extremely unhealthy relationship with the young woman, was eventually found guilty of her murder after it was proven that he shot into the bedroom to scare her into dating him again and one of the shots proved to be fatal. Listen along as we use this story as a chance to discuss the signs and dangers of unhealthy relationships and remember a young woman filled with life and promise who lost her life under such tragic circumstances.

Happy Halloween!! Episode 118 is live!

On Halloween night in 1974, a father took his two children out trick or treating. After returning home the children were allowed to eat on piece of candy before bed. Eight year old Timothy chose a giant pixy stix and after his father helped him open the tube containing the candy powder, the boy ingested some of the treat but immediately complained about a bitter taste. His father gave him some Kool-Aid to help swallow the powder but soon Timothy was vomiting and convulsing. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead with cyanide poisoning. The resulting police investigation would reveal a sinister plot, scarier than any horror movie. Listen along as we discuss the tragic death of Timothy O'Bryan and the Candy Man Killer.

After handing the items over the suspect shot and killed the homeowner and calmly walked away.
