  Rolling prairies of lush grass billowing in the wind; snow-capped mountains looming in the distance; it sounds like a heavenly landscape that only exists in a fever dream. Despite the ever-dwindling natural areas of the United States, Alaska remains a mostly-untouched and wild state where fever dreams become a reality. This beautiful haven comes at the cost of being around large populations of some of the most deadly predators on the continent: Grizzly Bears, and for most people that is enough of a deterrent to avoid making Alaska a bucket-list destination. or at least enough to do some research and be prepared for such a wilderness.
  Timothy Treadwell did none of these things. Facing the elements - and the animals - alone and without protection, Park Services and visitors thought of him as just another lunatic out to get himself killed - but nobody could have anticipated that Timothy would risk bringing other people into his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

  Joining us for this ridiculous story backed by uncovered Government documents is none other than Samantha and Traci, hosts of The Suspended Sentence Podcast. With a history rich in professional mental health and predator preparedness in Bear country, these two help dispel myths and navigate a twisted road through Timothy's childhood, his deteriorating mental health, and the poor victim who just wanted to love him.

  This episode contains graphic content including authentic audio descriptions from witnesses, detailed autopsy findings, mental health issues, adult language and more. Listener discretion, as always, is advised.

  There is something about a free-spirited woman that makes all of us envious. Taking risks and leaping into the unknown to follow her passions, creating friendships and memories everywhere she goes, and excelling at every single thing she puts her mind to. 
  That was the lifestyle of Diana Bober. She grew up with a strong adoration of nature, and that pull to be among it intensified as she became an adult. After following a string of passions back and forth across the United States, she finally found herself drawn to the gorgeous trails and mountains of Oregon. Her family members and friends grew to expect glorious panoramic views of mountain ranges during Diana's many hikes, until the day all communications stopped.
  After reporting her missing to police, family and officials left no stone un-turned in finding Diana, but the fate she met was far more horrifying than anyone was prepared to acknowledge.
  Join us for Episode 7 as we discuss the many twists and turns on the trail of Diana Bober's life - and tragic death - and listen to the end for some animal biology and a very bizarre surprise!

 Innocent. Curious. Playful. Inquisitive. 
  These are all words that can describe nearly any 6-year old. But Arthur wasn't like other 6 year old boys; behind his bright, blonde hair and light eyes hid a world of darkness. After losing his mother to incarceration following a vigilante murder, Arthur found himself at the mercy of his father Thomas and his new girlfriend, Emma Tustin. Together, they would lead Arthur into a world of pain, neglect, and isolation as they systemically tortured him for over a year until his death, and all behind closed doors, conveniently hidden in the throes of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 
  Tune in as Amanda walks you through the timeline of events that led to that fateful day, as well as audio clips from the 911 call and the conversation between Emma Tustin and first responders. There is a lot to unravel but we separate the truth from the media sensationalism in this horrifying episode about a child who slipped through one of many cracks in an already-broken system.

  This episode contains triggering topics such as child abuse, child death, domestic violence, murder, and foul language. This content may be sensitive to some listeners; discretion is highly advised.
