*TW* This case deals with drug abuse and brief mention of childhood sexual assault

River Phoenix, older brother of Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix, was at one point one of the most famous 90's heartthrobs. He was one of the youngest people to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. It wasn't long before Hollywood got to him, a dark role stuck with him, or his lack of a childhood caught up with him, and it all came crashing down.

Because Taryn hates Madison (or payback from thee exorcism episode) today we're talking about alien abduction. Barney and Betty Hill were driving back from their honeymoon in 1961 when they noticed something weird in the sky. They pulled over to investigate and woke up 2 hours later 35 miles away.
