Ep 241: He Gouged My Eyes Out Whilst My Children Slept with Tina Nash, Part 3

3/18/2025
Laura and Tina discuss Shane Jenkin’s violent history, his time in prison, the 2022 Parole Board hearing where it was determined Jenkin was too dangerous to release compared to the 2024 Parole Board Hearing where it was recommended Jenkin was ‘safe’ to be transferred to an open prison, ready for release. Jenkin gave Tina a life sentence. He held her hostage for 12 hours denying her medical care and when doctors finally assessed Tina’s injuries, they told her that the 18-stone abuser had attacked her with such force that they could see his nail marks in her sockets. We don’t believe he is ‘safe.’ Do you?

Ep 230: Profiling NXIVM, Coercive Controllers, Psychopaths with Sarah Edmondson, Part 1

1/7/2025
Join Laura and Sarah Edmondson as they break down cults, coercive control, narcissism and psychopaths, as well how to help someone who is being manipulated and controlled. Sarah is a 12-year-NXIVM-member-turned-whistleblower. In March 2016 Sarah gathered with several other women in the belief they were entering a secret sisterhood they were told was created to empower women. She was not prepared for what came next. Each woman was told to strip naked and branded with what turned out to be Keith Raniere’s initial – the ultimate act of ownership and coercive control.

12/30/2024
Join Laura, Tristan Redman and Jackie Malton for the concluding episode in the series and find out whether it was possible for Dr John Dancy to fake the hesitation marks on Maurice Tribe’s neck, Dr John Dancy’s first love before Naomi, who also ended up dead, and several violent assaults committed by Dr John Dancy – contrary to what Mark Dancy said about his grandfather not being a violent man. The totality of the circumstances cannot and must not be ignored. This series is dedicated to Dr Naomi Dancy, Maurice Tribe and Mary Garstin and her unborn baby. They are the victims who deserve to be remembered and honoured.

Ep 228: Hidden Quadruple Homicide? Ghost Story Unraveled, Part 6

12/23/2024
Laura interviews Tristan Redman from Ghost Story podcast and former Metropolitan Police DCI Jackie Malton regarding Dr Naomi Dancy’s murder, and Maurice Tribe and pregnant second wife Mary Garstin’s untimely and unexpected deaths. When we know that homicide is the leading cause of death in pregnant women and more specifically the husband/ex - we must ask more questions. Join Laura as she asks the critical questions about the case and the podcast including why the séance as the ending? Why hand the case over to a ghost to decide what happened? Why weren’t the eight experienced investigative experts used more? Was John Dancy a police surgeon? Who benefited from the deaths? Has Tristan been invited to the Dancy family Christmas?

Ep 227: Sara Sharif: Exposing Family Court Judges Who Give Abusers Custody with Dr Christine Cocchiola & Amy Polacko, Part 2

12/19/2024
Sara Sharif’s killers, Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool, were sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday 17 December 2024. It was a Family Court Judge who delivered Sara into the hands of her torturers and killers, despite Sharif’s extensive history of abuse against three women and two children. Sara’s case is not an anomaly. Nearly every six days in the USA a child is killed amid a custody dispute or catastrophic family court decision. Join Laura, Dr Christine Cocchiola and Amy Polacko as they expose catastrophic failures in Family Courts where children are placed further at risk and protective mothers are framed as the problem. This is an urgent call to action.

Ep 226: Sara Sharif: Exposing Family Court Judges Who Give Abusers Custody with Dr Christine Cocciola and Amy Polacko, Part 1

12/17/2024
By the time 10-year-old Sara Sharif died, she had suffered more than 25 broken bones - 100 separate internal and external injuries - including a traumatic brain injury. Sara was failed by everyone. The risks were undoubtedly known to the senior judge who presided over all three family court cases and when Sara’s abusive father applied for her to live with him, the judge ultimately sanctioned the order which delivered her into the hands of her killers. How did this happen? Listen to Laura’s urgent and timely episode which is an exposé of Family Courts with Dr Christine Cocchiola, DSW, LCSW, an expert on the experiences of adult and child victims of coercive control and Amy Polacko, an investigative reporter and survivor turned divorce coach – and you will find out. Both are survivors of domestic abuse who work with family court victims. Together, they wrote the book, Framed, which shines a light on the dangerous and risky decisions made every day in Family Courts which put children more at risk and frame protective mothers as the problem.

Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder

12/2/2024
On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder. The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past. But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth. This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers. From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas. Listen to Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder: Wondery.fm/TCCM_CA Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
