    The Trail's Gone Cold (The Disappearance and Murder of Angela Nicole Bradbury)

    Mitchell County Iowa, July 12th 2021, 5:27 PM. A local girl was taking a walk down the Greenbelt River Trail when something strange and terrifying caught her attention. She looked once, rubbed her eyes thinking she must be seeing things, and then looked again. Upon further inspection it was clear that no she wasn't seeing things, there among the lush grass and stately trees was a human skull dangling off a wooden spike. Police rushed to the scene immediately and interviewed everyone who had been along the trail that evening. Among the briefly interviewed was Nathan Gilmore, a man who authorities would eventually find out followed his satanic delusions down a murky rabbit hole to murder and dismemberment.    Click To Learn More Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet https://lawandcrime.com/crime/nathan-gilmore-sentenced-to-decades-in-prison-for-angela-bradbury-murder/ https://www.radioiowa.com/2023/10/16/father-of-mason-city-woman-speaks-out-as-osage-man-sentenced-for-her-death/   WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation

    True Crime TLDR: Gay Nazis (Ernst Röhm and the Eldorado Cabaret)

    Happy Pride Fiends! Alright we know it's July, but we had one more pride episode on the books so we're giving it to you anyway. This one is for the musical theater fans! Before The stonewall there was the Edorado Cabaret, a german, multi locational, enlightened, anything goes wonderland where liberation was was abundant. We have learned that you cannot talk about LGBTQ+ history without mentioning Weimar Republic era Berlin. There, for a time, life really was beautiful. This is the story of the real  Kit Kat Club and the glittery, tragic history that inspired the musical Cabaret. This episode had us riveted, and if you like it as much as we did, be sure to watch the Netflix documentary Eldorado: Everything the Nazi's Hate, link below.    Click To Learn More https://about.netflix.com/en/news/eldorado-everything-the-nazis-hate https://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/celebrating-queer-joy-in-1920s-berlin/ https://adventuresintimeandgender.org/stories/the-club-history/ https://perspectives.ushmm.org/item/photo-of-the-eldorado-club   WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation
