She was born into the worst of situations... but is that really an excuse? Lets talk about it!

Also, the FU corner is established, and we're taking names...

Savannah was a young, bright woman who was loved and cared for by her Native American tribe. A jealous neighbor brutally ends her life and takes away the one thing Savannah loved most in this world. 

 ***TRIGGER WARNING *** all the usual violence BUT if you’re triggered by child abduction or violence during pregnancy, this one’s not for you.

The legendary Tammy Faye lived a live where she was true to herself in religion and glam. Jim Bakker believed God lead him to build a community for christians and entertainment. Scandal, trauma and crime tore them apart and left them almost destitute.

This week Natalia decided to stick with the theme of "heads" (???) and so we're hopping over to Colorado and the western US. The Colorado Hammer Killer went on a 12 day killing spree which included a home with an entire family, and no one knew who he was for 40 years... until now.

What does it mean to get revenge - or - be a vigilante? One is the act of doing something to someone, and the other, vigilante, can sometimes be misconstrued as someone with a hero complex, right? 

In this situation, there are so many factors. It is such a delicate situation. You want to root for what is right, and have the main character get their happy ending. But how the character, and what the character does, can lead them into trouble.

This story is about Jason Vukovich. He did not have the happiest beginning and that's why listeners want to be on his side. But when we learn what Jason does to get revenge, was it really worth it? Maybe there is a better way of describing Jason, but we want to cheer for the underdog. But when the underdog fights back it gets him in trouble.

In this episode Natalia and Stephanie talk about the bizarre case of Sharon Lopatka, a woman whose greatest fantasy was to be murdered. Where would you find your "soul mate" murderer? Would your killer go to prison... or walk free? Was Sharon sick, or just indulging another kind of kink? Come listen and we'll talk about it.

* HAPPY HALLOWEEN! * OCT  31 2022 UPDATE - 

Our new editor, Justin, has made this episode sound amazing. Please give it a listen, now that the sound magic is done, this story hits different, we promise! 

Jeffrey MacDonald, did he do it? I would love to hear everyone's opinions because there are so many on this one. Even though 544 Castle Dr. Fayetteville, NC no longer exists, there is SO MUCH EVIDENCE! Video, photos, testimony, YOU NAME IT!

*UPDATE*

This was found on wikipedia, however, I thought I would share because I think it is interesting. In the aftermath, Collette was buried beside her daughters Kimberly and Kiersten in Long Island, NY. The gravestones were replaced with all Stevenson, the maiden name of Collette. MacDonald was removed and now the girls rest peacefully with their mother. 

Jeffrey MacDonald is alive serving his time in federal prison. He had wasted enough of everyone's time claiming insanity, confessing to the crime and taking his words back, and attempting to appeal his convictions after sentencing. 

Do you think the military excused his actions because they knew, with the scrutiny, the in-laws could do much more outside in a civil lawsuit? TELL US!
