When Mandy Stavik went missing while jogging during the Thanksgiving holiday, her family was terrified they were going to live through the loss of yet another child, after her brother Brent had been tragically murdered years prior. Soon, those fears were realized when Mandy’s body was discovered in a river. Desperate to solve her case, detectives followed the trailblazing steps of British detectives who used a “DNA sweep” to catch a killer of their own. But even if a DNA match was found, would Mandy’s killer be brought to justice? This is part one of Black Friday.

In today’s episode, Alisha shares two of her favorite Patreon episodes. First up is “Fear”. Can everyone feel fear? What scientifically happens when you feel fear? Can you be scared to death? This is the case of Mary Parnell whose life was cut short by a random turn of events that would quite literally leave her scared to death.

Next up, “Section 490”, the story of Manbir Kajila, Samandeep Gill and the importance of following protocol. When a newlywed couple is involved in a fender bender, the task of exchanging information becomes one of dodging bullets and what would have been a crash investigation becomes a murder investigation. The police work, or lack thereof, would end up determining the fate of the killer.

In the days before April 27th, our instagram, along with others, were posting phone numbers and information about how to contact Texas’ Gov. Abbot, requesting he grant clemency to Melissa Lucio- a woman who was set to be put to death. The outcry and calls worked and her life has, thus far, been spared. There’s additional good news- not only will she not be murdered by the state, but her appeals are being reviewed which could lead to a new trial and possible release! So, before her next hearing, let's take a look back at her case to understand why there was such an outcry surrounding her possible death and what chance she may have of being cleared of all wrong-doing.

In the early 1980’s medical personnel at Bexar County Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, noticed that patients in the pediatric intensive care unit were dying at an accelerated rate. They suffered seizures, ceased breathing, some had their hearts completely shut down, and others would bleed uncontrollably after being given a shot or IV. After one nurse looked into the issue, she found that most of these deaths occurred during a single shift, the night shift, when one particular nurse was working. This is the story of Genene Jones, a nurse who was known as the Angel of Death.
