Before abuse hot lines and safe houses were widespread, June Briand shot four bullets into her husband’s head and was sentenced to fifteen years to life. This is the shocking true story of survival—and the intense bond June shared with her pathologically violent husband, a monster who physically and sexually tortured, degraded and dominated her so relentlessly that she refused to believe he was dead even after she killed him......The Beast I Loved by Robert Davidson is available from WildBlue Press.

Author Robert Davidson will discuss battered women's syndrome and the answer to "why didn't she just leave?" 

Robert Davidson speaks nationally and has written numerous columns for various publications. He examines family dysfunction, the psychology of violence, and the resulting tragedy. He was the winner of New England’s venerable Seacoast Writers Association award for Best Nonfiction.

What responsibility does media and news reporting have to victims of crime? Our media culture has created pop icons out of criminals, yet we rarely remember the names of the victims. Is this fair and balanced journalism? Our guest, Diane Dimond will discuss her experiences as one of the country's most trusted source for the truth in media.

Diane Dimond is one of the few journalists who can claim proficiency as a crossover media personality – proficient in radio, television, print and as the author of three books. She has reported on several high profile issues including The Casey Anthony murder trial, the political corruption trial of former Senator John Edwards and the child molestation case against former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Many of us remember her as the anchor of daytime court coverage and Chief Correspondent of the CTV investigative Unit, as well as several other networks. She is best known for breaking the story of child molestation allegations against singer Michael Jackson in late 1993 and following the story through the entertainer’s criminal trial in 2005.

On April 30, 2011, Kevin Griffin called 9-1-1 to his apartment in Villa Rica, Georgia, stating his girlfriend, 22-year-old Samantha Sutton, was on the floor and unresponsive. Responding medical personnel were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead. A subsequent autopsy determined her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose. However, her mother, Dee Sutton, doesn’t buy that and believes she has the evidence to prove it.

The goal of The Transparency Project is to help families who are survivors of victims of murder or suspicious death, to gain access to police records related to the investigation of the death of their loved one. This will primarily involve making sure the police agency involved is complying in full with the Sunshine or Open Records laws in effect in their particular jurisdiction. It can include filing appeals when requests for records are denied, and/or recommending changes to existing laws that are overly restrictive.

On September 1, 2013, then 20-year-old Kayla Skeen was found dead by her boyfriend, an alleged suicide. But Kayla’s mother, Drema Allen, doesn’t accept that ruling. She believes her daughter was murdered by her abusive boyfriend and she has developed substantial evidence in support of her theory.

Kayla's mother, Drema Allen and her investigator, Clu Wright join us to dig deeper into the details of Kayla's death. Was it suicide? Or was it murder?
