Introducing: Morbidology –  a true crime podcast created and hosted by Emily G. Thompson, author of “Unsolved Child Murders,” “Cults Uncovered” and co-author of “Unsolved Murders: True Crime Cases Uncovered.” Morbidology was voted ‘Best International Podcast’ at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. Join Emily as she covers a new true crime case – solved and unsolved – released weekly. You can listen to Morbidology across all podcast platforms.

I’m going to play a preview of episode 277 on the murder of Lise Fredette, a 74-year-old woman who failed to show up for her shift in Walmart in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Her daughter drove over to her home, and when she pulled up outside, she observed her car parked in the driveway. She headed up the drive but was stopped in her tracks by a large pool of blood on the ground. An investigation into her whereabouts got underway, and suspicion immediately fell upon an ex-boyfriend who had refused to accept that the relationship was over.

Host Jake Deptula and former family court judge and family law attorney Michele Locke sit down with Terra Newell, a victim advocate, public figure, and survivor of multiple toxic relationships.

They explore the complexities of toxic relationships and the expectations placed on survivors who become public figures. They also confront misconceptions stemming from media portrayals that often oversimplify these experiences, particularly beyond the sensational headlines of “Dirty John.” Additionally, they discuss the responsibilities of true crime content creators, focusing on the glorification of serial killer culture and the ethical considerations that come with storytelling. Also, how advocating for a victim-centered approach is essential for fostering safe spaces for survivors and recognizing that each individual's journey through trauma is uniquely their own.

The conversation also highlights the themes of coercive control, gaslighting, financial manipulation, and the emotional toll these experiences have on physical health, including the long-term effects of trauma. Also, they discuss the importance of support systems and reflect on the necessity of self-care in the healing process.

They discuss the challenges of co-parenting with a narcissistic ex-partner, the complications substance abuse brings to custody battles, and how custody laws can prioritize parental rights over child welfare. The discussion also touches on why therapists might be reluctant to testify in custody cases. Strategies for handling high-conflict situations include documenting interactions, careful planning, and setting boundaries. Additionally, they examine the appeal of toxic relationship patterns and the warning signs to watch for.
