    400. Why Didn't She Report It?

    TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault Why didn't she report it? Why did she keep talking to him afterward? Why didn't she just leave? We ask these questions about survivors of sexual assault all the time. But when even a conviction doesn't guarantee meaningful consequences, and the very things someone does to stay safe can be used to question their credibility, the answers become a lot more complicated. This week, we're examining what happens when survivors seek justice, and why so many never do. Need more WMMM in your life?

    396. THROWBACK: Where is Fawn Marie Mountain?

    Fawn Marie Mountain disappeared from Claysburg, Pennsylvania in 2012. At the time of her disappearance, she was in a relationship with a reportedly abusive, controlling woman named Heather Dibert. The police investigation didn’t start until 2015, three years after she was last seen. This case is infuriating. If you have any information at all related to Fawn Marie Mountain, even if you don’t know how useful it could be, please call the Pennsylvania State Police (814) 696-6100 or the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers 1-800-4PA-TIPS.
