April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but we believe this is a topic that should be open for discussion everyday. When victims come forward there is an err of disbelief and negativity surrounding them and we need to do better. Let's open the conversation to make it easier for victims to get the help and justice they so deserve!

In this episode we discuss Sexual Assault as a whole, but more specifically at the collegiate level by discussing the case of Brock Turner's crimes at Stanford University in 2015.

In the summer of 1976 a school bus full of children seemed to disappear into thin air on the way back from a field trip. On this bus were 26 children and 1 bus driver. These victims were kidnapped and held for over 16 hours as their kidnappers had a ransom plan in mind. How do you hide that many people at once you ask? Well... you put them underground... Join us as we talk about the kidnapping of an entire school bus and the victims' brave escape!

Familicide, also known as family annihilation, is a type of mass murder and according to research is perpetrated more by men than women. In addition, researchers have also put familicide and the reasoning behind these events into 4 different categories to try and get a better grasp on such unfathomable and tragic events. Today we go over familicide in general and discuss cases that fall into 2 of the 4 categories, including the cases of Robert Fisher and Steven Sueppel and the terrible crimes they committed against those closest to them, their families.
