    Shanna Gardner: Innocent or the Mastermind Behind a Murder Plot?

    A tire was deliberately placed in the middle of a dark road. When Jared Bridegan stopped to move it, he was shot while his two-year-old daughter waited inside his vehicle. Four years later, his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, is preparing to stand trial for allegedly conspiring with her second husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, to have him killed. But the man prosecutors identified as the gunman has withdrawn his guilty plea and taken back his agreement to testify. In this episode of GBRLIFE of Crimes, we examine the bitter custody battle, Shanna’s disturbing messages about her ex-husband, the “funeral potatoes” defense, the payments from her trust and the psychology behind both possible versions of this case. Can prosecutors connect Shanna’s words to the money, and the money to the tire waiting on Sanctuary Boulevard? Shanna Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has not been convicted of the charges against her.

    Lindsay Clancy: Postpartum Psychosis, Premeditation, or Medical Failure?

    On the evening of January 24, 2023, Patrick Clancy left his Duxbury, Massachusetts, home to pick up medicine and dinner. He was gone for less than 30 minutes. When he returned, he found his wife, Lindsay, catastrophically injured outside their home. Inside the basement, he found their three young children. There is no mystery about who caused their deaths. The question now before a Plymouth County jury is whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when it happened. In this episode of GBRLIFE Transmissions: Of Crimes, Kaitlyn examines Lindsay’s documented psychiatric decline, the 13 medications she was prescribed, her voluntary hospitalization, the warning signs of postpartum psychosis, and the anxiety diagnosis that remained in her chart as her condition worsened. The episode also explores the prosecution’s evidence of planning, the defense’s psychosis argument, Massachusetts’s insanity standard, the lucidity trap, and the medical and familial failures that preceded the tragedy. Can a woman appear completely lucid while moving in and out of psychosis? Can psychosis distort an intensely protective attachment until a mother genuinely believes that harm will save her children? Does planning automatically prove that she understood reality and could control her actions? This episode asks where psychological explanation ends, where legal responsibility begins, and who should answer for the warnings that were documented but never acted upon. Content notice: This episode discusses the deaths of young children, suicide, postpartum psychosis, psychiatric hospitalization, and failures within mental-health care. Do you believe Lindsay Clancy was experiencing psychosis that evening?

    Taylor Schabusiness: Insanity, Substance Psychosis, or Something Darker?

    In the early morning hours of February 22, 2022, a mother in Green Bay, Wisconsin, walked into her basement looking for her son. What she found would become the center of one of the most disturbing criminal cases in the state’s history. Twenty-four-year-old Taylor Schabusiness was arrested within hours and confessed to killing 25-year-old Shad Thyrion, someone she had known since high school. The facts of the crime were never seriously disputed. The real question became whether Taylor was legally responsible for what she had done. In this episode of GBRLIFE Transmissions: Of Crimes, Kaitlyn examines Taylor’s childhood trauma, early psychiatric treatment, decision to stop taking medication, methamphetamine use, courtroom attack, insanity defense, and the psychological questions that continue to surround the case. Was Taylor experiencing substance-induced psychosis? Did she have an underlying mental illness that existed before the drugs? Did her disturbing behavior point toward psychopathic traits? Or can all of those explanations exist at the same time? This episode explores the difficult line between understanding how someone’s mind deteriorated and holding them accountable for the harm they caused. Content notice: This episode discusses homicide, dismemberment, substance abuse, childhood trauma, psychiatric illness, sexual violence, and disturbing crime-scene details.

    Ruby Franke’s Journal: The Momfluencer Who Called Abuse Righteous

    In this episode of GBRLIFE Transmissions: Of Crimes, we examine the case of Ruby Franke, the former momfluencer behind 8 Passengers, and the journal that revealed how she justified abusing her own children. After her 12-year-old son escaped from Jodi Hildebrandt’s home asking for water and help, investigators uncovered starvation, isolation, forced labor, and a belief system that framed cruelty as righteousness. This episode looks at Ruby’s rise, her connection to Jodi Hildebrandt, family vlogging, coercive control, moral disengagement, and what happens when the image of the perfect family matters more than the children inside it. This is the story of how motherhood became a brand, and how the script kept running after the cameras stopped.

    When Truth Became Torture: The Jodi Hildebrandt Case

    In this episode of GBRLIFE Transmissions: Of Crimes, we examine the case of Jodi Hildebrandt, the licensed counselor behind Connexions whose “truth versus distortion” framework became a tool of control. After a 12-year-old boy escaped from a home in Ivins, Utah, asking for water and help, investigators uncovered the abuse of two children and the disturbing belief system used to justify it. This episode looks beyond the headlines to explore Jodi’s background, her influence over Ruby Franke, the psychology of thought reform, religious trauma, moral absolutism, and what happens when obedience is treated as more important than conscience. This is the story of how “truth” became torture.

    The Susan Lorincz Case: Fear, Bias, and the Door That Changed Everything

    On June 2, 2023, in Ocala, Florida, a long-running neighborhood dispute ended in tragedy when Susan Lorincz fired a single shot through her locked front door, killing her neighbor, Ajike “AJ” Owens, while AJ’s young son stood beside her.  In this episode of GBRLIFE of Crimes, we examine the Susan Lorincz case beyond the headline. This is not just a story about one fatal shot. It is a case about fear, racial bias, trauma, Florida’s Stand Your Ground debate, and what happens when the legal system has to decide whose fear is considered “reasonable.”  Susan Lorincz claimed self-defense. Prosecutors argued that the 150 seconds between her 911 call and the shooting were not instinct — they were choices. She walked away, retrieved a firearm, returned, and fired through a closed, locked, windowless door. A jury later found her guilty of manslaughter with a firearm.  We also talk about Ajike “AJ” Owens — a mother of four, a beloved member of her community, and a woman whose life cannot be reduced to the moment she was killed. Her family described her as a devoted mother whose life centered around her children, their safety, and their future.  This case raises difficult questions:  Was this self-defense?  How does racial bias shape perceived threat?  Can trauma explain fear without excusing violence?  And what happens when gun laws, untreated trauma, and prejudice collide?

    Taylor Parker: The Fake Pregnancy, the Stolen Baby, and the Lie That Turned Deadly

    In this episode of GBRLIFE Transmissions: Of Crimes, we cover the disturbing case of Taylor Parker, a Texas woman who spent months pretending to be pregnant while building an elaborate web of lies around the people closest to her. Taylor told her boyfriend the baby was coming. But there was no baby. There was no pregnancy. And when the truth was close to coming out, her deception turned into one of the most horrifying crimes in modern Texas history. This episode looks at what happened to Reagan Hancock and her baby, Braxton Sage, but it also goes deeper into the psychology behind Taylor Parker’s actions: the fear of abandonment, the need to be chosen, the pattern of manipulation, the fake illnesses, the identity collapse, and the dangerous belief that a baby could keep a man from leaving. This is not a story about love. It is a story about control, obsession, performance, and the devastating cost of a lie that was never going to survive. Topics Covered: Taylor Parker Reagan Hancock Braxton Sage Hancock Fake pregnancy Pregnancy deception Fear of abandonment Cluster B personality traits Manipulation and control Premeditation Texas true crime Capital murder Women who kill The psychology behind the crime Want more stories including the companion blog for this episode? https://www.gbrlife.com/blog/they-were-just-kids-what-happens-when-parents-weaponize-their-children Send us Fan Mail Momma Koala – Cozy Family ClothingFun, comfy styles for the whole family.GBRLIFE – Blog • Vlog • PodcastUnfiltered reviews, true crime, and real-life stories you’ll loveDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
