The Perplexing Murder of Dorothy Jane Scott & The Satanic Panic Grip on the McMartin Preschool, Episode 30


Listen Later

Happy Memorial Day Weekend and cheers to Episode 30! Ashley and Alena are back to talk about two very different cases, but both will have you scratching your head in confusion. Ashley kicks off the episode with a disappearance, a murder and questionable antics of a mysterious caller. Not known for a lavish or wild lifestyle, Dorothy was called a great mom, a good friend and a faithful Christian. The whole case starts with a series of phone calls from an unknown person and escalates to Dorothy's disappearance. While the case is unsolved, listen in to learn how this disappearance from the 80's is still baffling police. Alena backtracks to the case of the McMartin Preschool, previously mentioned in Episode 28 about the Satanic Panic of the 80's/90's. From standard child abuse accusations to outrageous claims that police still looked into, the preschool was one of many schools affected by people claiming that teachers and caretakers were involved in Devil worship. It all started with one woman who claimed her son was violated and it all went downhill from there. Tune in to understand how the longest and most expensive case with over 300 counts of child abuse ended with no convictions and no arrests.
