S2 E15 - Minding the Beehive, surviving a serial rapist Part 8 - “Alex” - FINALE CW/TW - heavy and triggering topics such as murder, rape or animal harm Adrian Vildusea has been on his own crime spree of causing brutal sexual violence and torture to over 50 victims, targeting those namely of the alt (alternative) community and including minors. He also swindled money from most of them. This week, for our season AND series finale, we talk to an anonymous survivor who was exploited and victimized as a minor by this sick and sadistic perpetrator. Be sure to listen to the end to hear a final word from many of the victims throughout this series. To ALL victims and survivors - thank you. We admire your strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. We advocate and stand WITH and for you. Never stop telling your story. Let’s continue applying pressure. Thank you for your bravery. A Nefarious Nightmare will take a brief hiatus to deal with life outside of this true crime podcast, and will return with Season 3 late July to early August. In the meantime, be on the lookout for some feature drops! **UPDATE** Approximately one week after the finalization of this 8 part series, we received an email and phone call from an investigator of one of the survivor's cases. This investigator said that the series has been instrumental to law enforcement in moving forward toward the capture of Adrian Vildusea. The bees have seen movement and justice, and we are so proud of all of these incredible and inspiring women, as bees are resilient, strong yet vulnerable. Beehives are a collective and they fly fast (and STING) so, we must protect them at all costs. With that, always bee vigilant - for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive.
