True Crime Obsessed

When Joanna Hunter died in  her home in 2011, it took the cops less than 30 minutes to rule the death a suicide. Mostly because her husband said that that's what happened. No crime scene was preserved and no investigation was done. The case was closed, but Joanna's family never accepted the suicide ruling. They knew all too well about the years of abuse Joanna had suffered at the hands of her husband and all of the times she tried to leave him. Her brother Joe, who was Joanna's best friend, is on a mission to proved that his sister was murdered AND OH MY GOD SO ARE WE FAM. We are unwell. Join us as we scream our way through this one. And yes, OF COURSE WE TALK ABOUT SURVIVOR.

The body of an unidentified young woman was found in the Arizona desert in August 1992.  Over thirty years later, the incredible efforts of the forensic genealogists at the DNA Doe Project would identify her as Melody Harrison.  But how they pieced together her story traces a puzzle that brought together long-lost relatives and shed light on a little known adoption program from post-WWII Germany.

On July 18, 2022, 29 year old Sania Kahn was gunned down in her Chicago apartment by her estranged husband. We...do not have the words for what a freaking BADASS Sania was. She was a photographer and influencer who shared with the world not just her incredible art, but also her struggles of being a first generation Pakistani-American woman trying to live up to the expectations of her parents while at the same time living our her dreams. This could have been a 49 part 274 hour long series based just on the number of friends who LINED UP to share stories of how wonderful and generous and hilarious AND TRULY  LITERALLY BRILLIANT Sania was. We have nothing to say here about the piece of S**T killer who murdered her in her prime, so you'll have to listen to the episode to hear us scream about him there. Ugh. OK, we got this, fam!
