True Crime Defense

A couple are subjected to a frightening home invasion and kidnapping and then are blamed for faking the whole thing! We discuss the benefits of watching Home Alone, I get so angry I stand up to record part of the podcast and I get some outside information from a lady cop. This one is a real bummer, but we have yet another inspiring female investigator. Check out my Kidnapping Defenses video here https://youtu.be/Y4jw9kij_YU

Join us as we discuss a sinister premeditated murder with some twists, turns and a dedicated, sweet lil' southern mama who blows the whole case wide open with her pigtails, persistence and sass.

Was it Murder or Self-defense? I talked to my baby brother Kevin about the Netflix series "Killer Sally." Sally killed her husband Ray with a shotgun, in either a steroid-fueled act of vengeance or in a desperate act of self-defense. Kevin and google taught me, when faced with a shotgun shooter, to run, hide and ideally conceal myself behind something impenetrable to shotgun blasts. Check out the video below for the Plan A and Plan B of shotgun safety. https://youtu.be/cAcWJj6p_Qk

It's a cult bonanza over here! We nerd-out on Nixxyum? Is that how you say it? And Love Has Won, two bonkers examples of high control groups.

Join us for a special episode where I talk about the origin story of my fascination with true crime and give you tips on how to deal with a knife-wielding attacker. In my childhood neighborhood and in a nearby town, a serial killer attacked 6 women between January and September of 1990. Some of the murders occurred while the target was in the shower. Tangents include second-hand smoke, the movies Psycho and Home Alone and the story of how uncool Radhika and I are, as if you didn't know already. It's my first try at embedding a video so hopefully below you can click the link and watch my knife attack defenses. https://youtube.com/shorts/ivT_e98gBbs?feature=share
