Method & Madness returns soon! Until then, let’s revisit a case that didn’t get a lot of attention in the U.S. An award-winning journalist boards a submarine for a long-awaited interview and is reported missing the following day. This is the case of journalist Kim Wall, a talented up-and-coming journalist from Sweden who was brutally murdered aboard a homemade submarine in Denmark in 2017 by Peter Madsen.  ___________________________________________________________ Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, and produced by Dawn Gandhi Sound Editing by moInspo Music by Tymur Khakimov from Pixabay REACH OUT: [email protected] FOLLOW:

On Tuesday, April 21st, 2020, 39-year-old John Palmer and his wife, 38-year-old Katie Palmer set out for a morning walk in their rural neighborhood in Denison, Texas. It was a sunny morning with temperatures in the mid-60s. The road they were walking is residential- with homes and a country club- not a road with significant traffic early in the morning. There are no sidewalks and the couple was walking facing the direction of oncoming traffic. At 7:45 am, as they walked alongside the asphalt road- they were hit from behind- by their neighbor Cory Foster, who was driving a 2019 Ford F250 pickup truck. John and Katie didn’t even hear the truck coming- they were both injured, Katie, fatally. Katie passed away from her injuries the next day, just after midnight. John has recovered and has spent every day since, not only grieving the loss of his soulmate; but also waiting for and then fighting for justice. The man that killed his wife had alcohol in his system, was driving with a fogged-up windshield, on the wrong side of the road, and still walks free. Thank you to John Palmer for joining me and for fighting for Katie every single day.

42-year-old Betsy Faria was vibrant, positive, and surrounded by a supportive circle of family and friends. In 2011, she was murdered in her own home, allegedly by her friend, Pam Hupp. In this episode, Dawn sits down with Betsy’s daughter Mariah Day. Mariah is speaking out about an investigation that was misguided from the start, and the irreparable damage it has caused her family. Although her stepfather Russ Faria was exonerated after being wrongfully convicted for the murder of her mother, Mariah is still facing obstacles. She wants people to know that what you hear or see in the media isn’t always the whole story. Thank you to Mariah Day for sharing your experience with me. You’re amazing. ___________________________________________________________ Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, and produced by Dawn Gandhi Sound Editing by moInspo Music by Timmoor from Pixabay REACH OUT: [email protected] FOLLOW:

She went missing in September of that year, and the investigation uncovered a secret world of incomprehensible abuse.

70-year-old woman, mother, and grandmother Dorothy Donovan was found brutally stabbed to death in her bedroom in June of 1991. Her son Charles Holden had discovered her in the middle of the night and was immediately brought to police headquarters for questioning. Charles was the likely suspect; a man in debt who was the beneficiary of Dorothy’s life insurance policy. But Charles insisted that he was not his mother’s killer and was about to tell an implausible story of the night’s events.

Sid and Nancy have been called a modern-day “punk Romeo and Juliet”, but underneath that surface-level romanticism was a dark reality. Sid Vicious, the notoriously rebellious member of the punk band The Sex Pistols met bleach-blonde groupie Nancy Spungen (yes, Spungen is pronounced with a “hard G”) in London at the height of the punk rock movement. What followed was a relationship fueled by drug addiction, and Nancy would end up dead from a stab wound in NYC in 1978.

In June 2009 the body of a man in his 50s or 60s was found on a beach in Sligo, Ireland. With no identification found in his belongings, investigators had their work cut out for them. They were able to construct a timeline of the mystery man’s final 4 days which were spent at a hotel in Sligo. But the more they searched for the man’s identity, the more questions would arise once security camera footage was reviewed and bizarre behavior was revealed. More than a decade later, this one remains a mystery. Who is the man who called himself Peter Bergmann; and what was the reason for his strange but deliberate acts during that weekend in Sligo? If you have any information on the identity of this person, please use the following contact details: Sligo Garda Station Call: +353719157000 Address: Sligo Garda Station, Pearse Road, Sligo, Co. Sligo, F91 E372.
