Slay or Survive

This week Carly covers a murder house - would you live in one? What if it was cheap?

This specific murder house is in Mississauga Canada. Three deaths occurred in this house over a period of five years. First, Bill Harrison died of what seemed to be natural causes, then his wife Bridget died from falling down the stairs, but after a closer look the death was ruled suspicious. The last family member to die in the house was Bill and Bridget's son, Caleb. His death screamed foul play, and this caused the police to take another look at all three deaths. Listen to find out who's behind the murders!

Dani shares some facts about sexual assault awareness month, taking place now in April, and covers the infuriating case of Brock Turner. We were all shook when he only received 6 months for sexual assault, but what about his victim? She remained anonymous for years, but has now released her identity - Chanel Miller. Her powerful victim impact statement (which she reads in full here) went viral and she published the memoir "Know My Name". She is an accomplished writer and did not let the sexual assault define her.

April is sexual assault awareness month (SAAM) which has two main goals: (1) to raise visibility about sexual assault and (2) share how it can be prevented. To learn more, visit the national sexual violence resource center.

Happy Easter! They say Jesus has risen, and today Carly's survivor has risen from a container.

Kala Brown and her boyfriend Charles Carver were hired by Todd Kohlhepp to do some work on his 95 acre property. But when the couple arrived, Charles was shot and killed, and Kala was put in a container with a collar chained to her neck. For the next two months Kala was held in the container until Todd decided he needed to post on Facebook to make the couples disappearance look less suspicious. But he did the opposite

The posts were reported to the police, who were able to track the phone, and catch Todd.
While in custody, Todd also confessed to several other murders. This may have shocked people who only knew him as a successful real estate agent, but Todd had served 15 years in prison and was a registered sex offender. He had a long history of violence, listen to find out more!

There's a glitch in the matrix this week. One minute before recording Dani and Carly decided to focus on one story this week since Dani's case is complicated, fascinating, unbelievable, and we had never heard of it before this week!

Do you about the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, the half brother of Kim Jong Un?

Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong smeared a chemical agent on Kim Jong Nam in broad daylight in an international airport. One hour later he was dead.

The news called the women "female assassins" and "femme fatales", but Siti and Doan didn't know they killed Kim Jong Nam, they didn't even know who he was. They thought they were starring in a prank show.

This story is the craziest one yet. Listen in!

Warning: Long intro alert! Dani and Carly need to fill you in on some current events before jumping into their stories! They give the latest developments in Sarah  Everard's case and what's going on in Derek Chauvin's trial.

Now to the stories for this episode - 

Carly covers another EPIC QUEEN from history - Ranavalona I, also known as the Mad Queen of Madagascar. Ranavalona's famously savage behavior came to light after her husband's passing. She brought back the practice of trial by "Tanguin" essentially forcing an accused person to swallow a poisonous nut. When she wasn't forcing people to eat poison, she was having them thrown off cliffs, boiled to death,  and having their bodies sawed in half (lengthwise, head first) - yikessss. 

Dani covers the tragic sole survivor case of Brenda Lin. On July 18th, 2009 in New South Wales, Min Lin, his wife Yun Lin, their sons Henry and Terry; and Yun Lin's sister Irene Lin, were bludgeoned to death in the Lin family home. 15-years-old Brenda Lin found out about her family's murders while she was away on a school trip. The police's investigation indicated that the killer may be closer to home than anyone would have ever expected. Listen in to hear more about this case.

With a slashed throat and a gaping wound to her abdomen, Alison defied all odds as she crawled to a nearby road in hopes of finding help.
