In this deeply reflective episode of Exhuming the Truth, we explore the stories of two Australian women, Tamika Chesser and Lauren Flanigan, both involved in acts of extreme violence, but with vastly different outcomes.

One was sent to a psychiatric facility, the other died in custody.

Why was only one systemically recognized as mentally unwell? What role did race, class, and public perception play in how they were treated? Through a forensic and criminological lens, we dig into the complex interactions of mental health, systemic bias, and the way society views women who kill.

This isn't just about the crimes, they're symptoms of deeper issues. Join us as we ask: when women commit violnce, how does the system decide who is "mad", who is "bad" and who is simply disposable?
