*TRIGGER* This episode discusses crimes involving children.

      What comes to mind when you hear the term “The Dark Web”?  We think of shadows, acts committed in secrecy…maybe even the stuff of nightmares.  The Dark Web can be the stuff of nightmares, a place where even angels fear to tread.  Afterall, “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is looking”.....And what he does and is capable of, is truly dark.  We will take a deep dive into illegal activities found on the Dark Web and cover five cases related to it. The deeper we go…. The darker it gets.  Welcome to Episode 28, Crimes of the Dark Web.

     Fearless... Determined... An Overcomer.  Strong women don't have to be mascaraed as men, but our strength lies in who we are.  Intuitive.  Sacrificial.  Vulnerable.  All Beautiful.  The case we are going to discuss isn't about the badass survivor who fought off her attacker and is now an advocate for women's safety... because even when a fellow woman is overtaken by her stalker.... She is still worthy to be the symbol for bravery... And to be the face for fighting like hell.  Molly fought to her death but is also fighting beyond the grave.  And she is still a badass in my opinion.  You can try to do everything right.... But we can't right everything that the monsters plan and shouldn't place that burden on the victims or survivors.   Molly McLaren was so much more than how she died... and we hope you hear her story.  Welcome to Episode 27- No Coincidences: The Murder of Molly McLaren.

     When we think of marriage, the term "Tie-the-Knot" is a widely popular phrase.  It comes from an ancient Celtic tradition of handfasting- Where the hands are bound together, a representation of the two becoming one... But what happens when these knots become tangles...?  We all know infidelity invites many problems... The ending of marriage vows, the jealousy, deception and ruination of promises made to so many... But somewhere in the affairs, the dishonesty and cunning nature is a person with a complicated desire... A need for affection, to win, to compete and in some way, to gain a piece that was lost.  The lives in this case are forever weaved together when an illicit affair happens between two teachers...A woman we can't deny has experiences of her own that knitted her own future self.... For Carolyn Warmus, her life became intertwined with Paul Solomon and what she would do to get this... was a risk that took everything along with ending the life of Betty-Jeanne Solomon... Welcome to Episode 25, Carolyn Warmus: The Entanglement.

*Trigger* This episode discusses cannibalism.

     “Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster.  And if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you”.  When researching a true-crime podcast, we often think of this quote by philosopher Frederich Nietzsche.  We do our best to not gaze for too long, but only glance.  What cried out to us about this case…or any case we cover?  It’s not just about the crime, but how it impacts us as a society.  The case we are going to discuss is about two people from different backgrounds on a proverbial collision course, and it forever changed the lives of those who witnessed it.  The victim, his family and the passengers were not given a choice…. They were forced to gaze into the abyss and to deal with its aftermath.  We will also discuss why the Canadian Criminal Justice system had no choice but to release the perpetrator of one of Canada’s most horrendous murders.  Welcome to Episode 23-  Into the Abyss: The Murder of Tim McLean.

     Join Cassandra and Dianne in discussing the recent news of the arrest affidavit on the Delphi Murders: Abby and Libby.  Our very first podcast episode featured this tragic case.  Listen as we revisit the new information and the theories/possibilities that are still uncovered with this investigation and future trial!  

Justice for Abby and Libby 

RECAP OF EPISODE 1:
     On February 13, 2017, 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German went missing on the Monon High Bridge Trail in Delphi, Indiana.  On the day the girls went missing, Liberty uploaded 2 photos to SnapChat, one showing a photo of her friend Abigail on the Monon High Bridge.  Not too long after the photos were uploaded, Liberty also started to take a video of a man crossing the bridge towards them... It would be the last time the girls were known to be alive. We are going to get into the details of the case and discuss how social media may have possibly contributed to the murders of these two young girls and how to educate your kids on using social media safely.

     “The lake never gives up its dead”.  It’s a belief among the indigenous people of the Northwest describing a particular lake...But what if the lake desired to reveal its secret, that an act of evil went against its nature?  It started in the cold of December and made its way into deep, dark waters…mimicking dark secrets in the human soul, forever thought to be buried.  Instead, the lake decided to reveal a harrowing truth.  Because what resurfaced, the lake sought to cleanse….To purify and ultimately seek justice.  Welcome to Episode 22:  Snow Fell on the Lake—The Murder of Hallie Brooks Latham.

     Imagine you experiencing something so horrendous, so unfathomable that your life becomes like shattered pieces...Just as ink blots paper, our brain blocks memories... a last attempt at self-preservation... as survival...Being the sole survivor can be a testament to that determination or even be seen as good fortune... We wish.  The reality is those pieces are never brought together as they were... But with tenderness and a community coming together, it can be made into something new...Cracks glued and forever visible...However... What happens when this isn't the case?  After all... Family is Everything.

     Welcome to our Halloween Bonus Episode!  Candyman was the feared urban legend that would come to life.  By saying his name five times, while looking in the mirror, you could summon him.  But why would you want to?  He is a most vengeful and diabolical spirit that will appear to you with a large hook in place of what was once his hand.  What he does with that hook…. let’s just say it’s gruesome. This is obviously fiction, but with every fiction, there is a grain of truth.  And sometimes, the truth is just as terrifying.  What is little known, is that the movie Candyman was inspired by a real-life, tragic horror story.  And what is it about mirrors???
