A Nefarious Nightmare - True Crime

S6 E4 - "HE was my everything" - Justice for Juan Leon Laureles

CW/TW - detailed account of murder, discussion of potential hate crime against latinx and/or lgbtq+

Juan “Leon” Laureles was a kind, sweet and quiet 30 year old living in central Texas when on or around May 10, 1996, he was murdered - his car set on fire - all believed to be a hate crime. In the days prior to his murder, Leon confided in coworkers that he was being harassed and stalked. Arlene Harbison, his surviving niece, has been very vocal in trying to get his story told and to get justice and closure in the case of his murder. Was it perpetrated by those who hated him because he was different? Were the police aware and involved? Why can’t Arlene be shown an official autopsy report and where is all the media coverage on Leon? We attempt to figure out the answers and more.

S6 E3 - "A lioness’ pride" - Justice for Willow (Part 3)

CW/TW - DISTRESSING CONTENT - Displays of grandiosity, narcissism or sociopathy, suicidal ideation, domestic violence, murder of a child

For today's episode, we will wrap up this multiparter, where we await what will happen with Stephen Clare, the monster who murdered his 11 month old daughter, Willow. We will hear more from her mother, Mariah, and we ask you all to please remember Willow - the bright, beautiful, and innocent baby who’s life was stolen way too soon. Admittedly, this has been a very tough case to talk about (and hear about), but important. Mariah needs to be heard, as she is not only speaking for herself, and for her living children, but she is giving a voice back to her daughter Willow, who will forever be unable to speak for herself. Mariah, as well as her three children who survived, are true heroes in todays case. Mariah, Braylon, Copeland, Rosalie, and Willow. They all are bees.

CALL TO ACTION - ALEX VANDALSEN

We are angry. We demand justice. Say his name - ALEX VANDALSEN.

Alex VanDalsen, a transgendered man, was murdered, but his case was conveniently labeled a suicide. His mother, Jennifer VanDalsen, has spent nearly three years fighting for answers and justice. Due to recent events where Jennifer was once again tossed away and considered disposable by local authorities, we gathered together to have a round table discussion and refresh on his case, as well as a firm request of everyone listening to not only say his name, but bring awareness to his case. We want everyone in the true crime arena to please cover his case, we want authorities to dig deeper into their investigations, we want senators and government officials highlighting this case and we want Jennifer to finally have answers because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

S6 E2 - "Listen to your gut" - Justice for Willow (Part 2)

CW/TW - DISTRESSING CONTENT - Displays of grandiosity, narcissism or sociopathy, suicidal ideation, domestic violence, murder of a child

Mariah Lee Gardner escaped, barely clinging to life, from a brutal attack on her and her children at the hands of her ex-husband, Stephen Clare. Today, Mariah will continue to recall the events that led to the tragedy that occurred April 10, 2023. We dive in a little more on the links to Narcissistic Personality Disorder and domestic violence, and pose the question of whether or not you always listen to your gut. As for Stephen Clare - the crimes he committed are all pieces of a pure living nightmare, one that had all the signs, albeit difficult to see. Narcissists are very thorough with carrying through their plan if it is something that will make them look good. We urge you all to recognize the signs of Narcissistic Abuse from family members and even friends, whether you have fallen victim to it or not. You never know who's life you may save, and as always... see something, say something.

S6 E1 - "Playing The Long Game" - Justice for Willow (Part 1)

CW/TW - DISTRESSING CONTENT - Displays of grandiosity, narcissism or sociopathy, domestic violence, murder of a child

Mariah Lee Gardner escaped, barely clinging to life, from a brutal attack on her and her children at the hands of her ex-husband, Stephen Clare. In a tragic recollection of events, including murder, Mariah is still left with a huge void that cannot be filled. The lasting impact of what happened to her is unimaginable. Mariah will tell you from start to finish about the monster she married and unfortunately, didn’t realize how much of a monster he is, until far too late. The signs were there, but very difficult to see. This case is an extremely wild and heartbreaking ride - from the depths of a narcissistic monster to the scams he pulled, flying monkeys he created, the lies he told… and the murder he committed.

BONUS - Season 5 Recap, updates, teasers


CW/TW - Foul Language, brief discussions of SA, murder, hate crimes, potential spoilers


Today, Courtney and Amanda chat about plenty of things in the fashion of 2021 Nefarious (meaning, it’s casual and there will be banter so if you can’t handle it, maybe skip this one! But it’s a bonus so we can do that) We talk about:

- A delicious dessert
- A rude grocery store employee and how that ties in to ENGAGING WITH EMPATHY
- a surprisingly amazing constructive review (I hope you’re listening!)
- nip potential rumors in the bud (we aren’t divorcing.)
- shout out a new podcast (True Compass!)
- Taco Bell (Taco bell.)
- potential hints at what’s to come (possible interview with Courtney’s past employer)
- Season 5 recap
- BIG lessons we have learned
- what’s coming next week in Season 6

We are so excited at the opportunities headed our way. We are humbled by all of the victims and survivors who have trusted us and allowed us to offer our platform to share their stories and most of all, we appreciate EVERYONE who has supported us and all of these bees along the way. The only direction from here is up! Stay tuned.

BONUS - A Conversation with Haley from part 5, Minding The Beehive


CW/TW - Foul Language, discussions of SA and suicide


For today’s bonus episode, Courtney and Haley (who was interviewed in S2E12 Minding the Beehive, part 5) have an open and honest yet casual conversation - as somewhat of an afterthought and recap of the entire Still Minding the Beehive series. Everything talked about will be from the perspective of sexual assault victims. We talk about what we are into right now, and then dive a little bit into consent (wondering why there is more education and training on things like hair, but not enough when it comes to things like what consent is, advocacy and reporting), the nuances of the law, the victim blaming and shaming that unfortunately, most victims face, why people are afraid to report, senators and investigators that make (and then break) promises, advocacy, and the importance of applying pressure. We also talk smack about perpetrators because why wouldn't we? These victims and survivors have had to endure enough, so give them grace and let them lash out.

The day this episode goes live will be one day after September 25 - National Day of Remembrance for Homicide Victims. If you would like, please click HERE to see what we posted about it.

Special mentions - The H3 Podcast and The Kardashians.

BONUS - Not So Nefarious Criminals FEATURING Bob Motta, Defense Diaries


CW/TW - Foul Language



Hey there, it's Courtney! While we're taking a breather until season six, we're putting our mental well-being first. In the meantime, we've got a special treat from our Patreon archives for you - an episode from 'Not So Nefarious Criminals,' our fun and quirky podcast that takes a light-hearted look at petty crimes and dumb criminals. In this particular episode, we're joined by Bob Motta from Defense Diaries, and it's a gem we couldn't keep to ourselves any longer.

During this episode, we delve into some classic Florida man antics, discuss food a lot (ever heard of Pierogi spaghetti?) and, of course, aliens make their usual appearance. We also touch on some… um… different cases involving potatoes and a rather peculiar $150 burglary. Yes, you guessed it, it's another wild Florida man story! So, if you're looking for a dose of humor and levity in the world of true crime, give this episode a listen. And please be sure to stay tuned for more captivating content coming your way soon.

Before we dive in, I want to offer a slight disclaimer. The timing of this recording was challenging for me due to the recent loss of my mother, but I was determined to continue with 'Not So Nefarious Criminals' because I needed that sense of normalcy and laughter. I even felt like my mom was right there with us, sharing in our good time. Join us as we explore the lighter side of crime and remember, even in the darkest of times, there's always room for a good laugh.

S5 E12 - Still Minding The Beehive - Surviving Sex Crimes, Part 12


PHASE 3 - Speaking out, Jennifer


CW/TW - DISTRESSING CONTENT - detailed accounts of grooming, sexual assault and/or abuse of a minor, mental health.


This season is more serialized than it is episodic, and we felt the urgency to raise awareness on all types of sex crimes - starting with Sexual Extortion, or "Sextortion". For today’s episode, we speak with Jennifer for near finale. Jennifer is a bright and kind human being with a smile that literally lights up a room - but hidden behind that smile is a world of trauma and unanswered questions as she was sexually assaulted at a young age by another child. Jennifer has only wanted answers, closure and to pursue her right to records via FOIA, but unfortunately she's continuously silenced or brushed off. This episode will be disturbing, and yet, bring on plenty of questions because this is something that you rarely, if ever, hear about - it happens way more often than people talk about. We hope to raise a ton of awareness and warn you that ANYONE can be victimized by any of this. BEE VIGILANT.
