Conversations of the Strange

Jodi McDaniel Lowery chronicled the story of murderer Janice Buttrum. In September 1980, she and her husband, Daniel, murdered 19 year-old Demetra Parker in her book, JAN: The Youngest Woman Sentenced to Georgia's Death Row from Outskirts Press. After being caught, both of them were sentenced to death. However, Janice's sentence was commuted to life in prison.  

Jodi talks with us about chronicling the murder, her interviews with Janice and the real story behind the murder and Janice's life in prison.

About a year ago, I watched an independent movie called EMPTY ROOMS (made in 2012). 

It freaked me out! 

It reminded me of "THE OTHERS" with Nicole Kidman and Christopher "The Doctor When DOCTOR WHO was Good" Eccleston! 

I managed to track down the director, Adam Lamas, and we began to talk. 

I had to have him on "Conversations of the Strange" and he was kind enough to do an interview! He also shared a link to see his movie on Vimeo here. Use the password: Emptyrooms2323!  to see it!
