Gore and Guilty

In the summer of 1947 - New Mexico was rife with UFO sightings. When Mac Brazel found a massive pile of shiny silver debris on his ranch, he couldn't explain it. When he involved the local Sheriff - things began to unravel. The local military published a press release claiming evidence of a flying silver disc had been recovered - but they quickly changed their mind and said it was, in fact, a weather balloon. 

However, conspiracy theories began to run wild. There were local claims of alien bodies and autopsies done on extra-terrestrial corpses. Is it possible the Government was trying to cover up the truth of what happened at Roswell? 

This week on G&G we discuss the not so sweet grandmother Dorothea Puente. A classic "don’t judge a book by its cover" case. Dorothea looked like a sweet, elderly lady. However, she was much younger than she seemed! She set up a boarding house for people who were homeless, suffered with drug/alcohol abuse, or had disabilities. However, this generous act was not as it seemed, she would steal their social security benefits and overdose them on a concoction of sleeping pills.

Belle Gibson isn’t like the usual criminals we share on G&G; however, she is just as calculating and evil. Compulsive liar and con-artist, Belle falsely claimed she had terminal cancer and because of this she monetised off her 3 million followers on social media through book and app releases. The influencer claimed that a healthy diet cured her cancer and that the scientific medical treatments didn’t work. This was all false!

Between 2010 and 2017, 8 men vanished from the gay village in Toronto, Canada. Many of those men were struggling to come to terms with their own sexual identity. Their killer, Bruce McArthur, used that to his advantage. To those around him, Bruce appeared a jovial man that enjoyed his job as a landscaper. However, inside was a monster. 

Despite several close calls, including being arrested for assault and questioned in relation to a killing, Bruce was able to carry out his murderous spree for years. This episode puts a lot more emphasis on the stories of the victims who were tragically killed by Bruce to fulfil his sick, sexual fantasies. As always, this episode comes with a trigger warning. 

On the 1st September 2015, Lieutenant Joseph 'G.I. Joe' Gliniewicz calls for back up after pursuing three males into the wooded area of Fox Lake. Moments later, Joe is found lying face down after a fatal shooting. Suspicions began to rise surrounding the death of the cop fallen in the line of duty. There were no visible signs of a physical altercation or defensive wounds as well as more unsettling evidence. Find out who Joe was and what happened in this week's episode. 

Imagine spending your whole life stuck in a home with faeces smeared on the walls, trash piled high and a stench so foul you could hardly breathe. In the home, you're beaten by your own parents for any breaking of the rules. Sometimes you're chained up and left for days on end - simply because you tried to feed yourself.

That home was a reality for the Turpin children. This week we cover the horrid case of the Turpins. David and Louise Turpin thought they were commanded by god to have many children. Yet, they neglected and abused those children across their whole lives. Prepare yourself as this one contains some truly harrowing details.

Heard about Robert Durst? The convicted killer was heir to the Durst Organization, a real estate empire based in New York. However, as his life went on, he became embroiled in several scandals. It is firmly believed Durst killed his first wife Kathleen McCormack Durst. When Kathleen went missing, it took Durst 5 days to report her missing, and his explanation was full of contradictions. Still, Durst remained free. Later, a former friend of Durst, Susan Berman, was killed. Not only was Durst linked to her killing, but his wife's disappearance could be one of the factors. 

Durst eventually took on a new identity - that of a mute woman! Still, he found himself implicated in the murder and dismemberment of an associate. If this case could get any crazier, Durst took part in a documentary that uncovered evidence that led to his eventual prosecution. This week's episode is a must listen!
