Listener Discretion Advised.

Colleen Stan was kidnapped in 1977 by Cameron and Janice Hooker and held captive for seven years. During her captivity, she was subjected to extreme physical and sexual abuse, including being confined to a box for long periods. Cameron manipulated Colleen into believing that she was a slave and that an underground organization called "the Company" would harm her and her family if she tried to escape. He forced her to sign a "slavery contract" and subjected her to brutal punishments.

In 1984, Janice, consumed by guilt, confessed the truth to Colleen and helped her escape. Colleen returned home to her family and eventually revealed the details of her ordeal. Cameron was arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including kidnapping and rape. He was found guilty and sentenced to a lengthy prison term. Despite the immense trauma she endured, Colleen survived and has shared her story to raise awareness about the horrors of human trafficking and abuse.

In 1989, a man named Alexi Indris-Santana was accepted to the prestigious Princeton University based on not only his intellect but also his incredible back-story of being a self-educated ranch hand with a 1410 SAT score. The school was so taken with Santana, that they agreed to defer his enrollment one year so that he could care for his sick mother. 

The catch? – the man wasn’t caring for anyone; he was in prison. And his name was not Alexi Santana. It was James Arthur Hogue, a master conman who had fooled even the brightest minds at Princeton. It would be years before anyone there knew Hogue’s real identity, and his past full of lies and deception was unraveled – even then it was all by chance.

Jason discusses the Friendly murders that took place in Palm Springs, California in 1978. The victims were Edward and Sophia Friendly, a wealthy couple with ties to prominent families, and their maid, Francis Williams. The murders were particularly gruesome, with all three victims shot in the head at close range.

The initial investigation focused on Edward Friendly's business dealings, but later shifted to Sophia's strained relationship with her children, Edward Hutton and Sophia Hutton. Sophia had amended her will to disinherit her children after they contested her control over a San Francisco townhouse. The inheritance hinged on whether Sophia or her ex-husband, Curtis Hutton, died first. Curtis was terminally ill at the time of the murders.
