Bernadette Lesage was a 21 year old woman living in Burlington, Vermont. She and a friend went to eat on the lawn of a church one sunny July day in 1980. A disturbed and mentally ill man rushed her and beat her to death with a lead pipe. The 2 were strangers, and what lead this man to commit such a heinous murder left us sad, frustrated, and confused. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss Louis Hines and the murder of Bernadette Lesage.

Natalie and Michael Cochran had a seemingly happy marriage and two wonderful children. The two decided to start two companies in 2017 and by all accounts looked as if they were successful at running them. Little did everyone know, the Feds were investigating them and then Michael falls ill and dies suddenly. This case is not fully resolved, but I could not help but tell it. If needed, we will update you in the future.

Jon Amerault was a 25 year old kind, smart, successful young man who loved to hike and had a bright future ahead.

This case is appalling and brings about some interesting discussion surrounding intimate partner violence and the culpability of a victim.

Lisa Ann Millican was a 13 year girl living in the foster system of Georgia. She mysteriously goes missing in September of 1982, and was later found murdered in a canyon in Alabama. Her killers then went on to abduct and murder a 22 year old woman named Janice Chatman. Unknown to Lisa, her death helped law enforcement in 3 southern states to apprehend a serial killer couple that had no intention of ever stopping. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss this tragic case of multiple victims, and some very depraved murderers.
