Gone, But Never Forgotten Lance Ryan

As we have covered in recent episodes, people are seemingly killing one another for reasons that are frankly stupider and stupider.  Murder has become an answer to struggles, strife and issues that many people face daily in their lives.  This week we are going to look at a case where two young men, Dominic Russo who was 20 and his friend Davion Flanaghan, who was 19, lost their lives in a  car crash that the courts deemed to not only be planned and carried out on purpose but even foretold prior to the event happening by the driver, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon

On April 15th, 2014 the city of Calgary Alberta Canada would be absolutely rocked with the news of the deadliest mass murder in the city’s history.  One young man would stab five young adults to death at a house party that was being held to celebrate the end of the winter semester at the University of Calgary.  One man was responsible for the lives of five people being taken and now, just over ten years later there are a lot of moves being made to try and give the killer some semblance of a life, something that his victims, nor their families, will ever get the chance to have again. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon

High school can really and truly be some of the hardest years of a young person’s life.  Within those walls teenagers are trying to find out who they are, who they want to be and where they fit into the world around them.  Usually that includes making a tight knit group of friends and those people generally become your ride-or-die partners, if not for the rest of your life, at least for those high school years.  Two weeks ago we took a look at the case of Brianna Ghey and the way that a friend and that friend’s acquaintance brutally murdered Brianna because of a mixture of sadism and hatred.  This week we are going to look at a case where two friends, seemingly not driven by very much at all, make the decision to murder a very close friend of theirs in cold blood and they the carried on their lives, for a time, as though nothing had happened and they had no idea what had happened to their missing friend. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon

Over all of the episodes that we have talked about here on the podcast I don’t think that we have ever covered one that is quite like this one in so many ways.  This week we are going to talk about a young woman who went missing not once, not twice, but three different times within her life and sadly she has not been heard of or found since her last disappearance.  This is a case that covers a contentious, with some people, diagnosis, a young woman who seemed truly and wholly like the best person that anyone could ever meet and a story that has as many twists and turns as one could possibly handle. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon

In a world that is filled with crime and murder and people doing unexplainable and awful things to one another one of the worst things that I can find to read and write about is the killing of children by other children.  As we are going to see in this case today our children are growing up in a world that is sick and our children are growing up in a world that seemingly breeds hatred around each and every corner.  This week we are going to talk about a very young trans-gendered girl who was lured out of her home by someone that she considered one of her very few friends and another teen with their soul goal being to murder her.  This story has so many sides to it that are sad and distressing.  We have teens, children really, who are riddled with anxiety, dealing with autism spectrum disorder and being influenced by one another, the world around them and so much hate.  This is a case that covers the horrifying and far-to-soon end to one life at the hands of two people who were, and are, clearly dealing with a plethora of their own issues, not the least of which were sadism and hatred. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon

There have certainly been cases where entire family’s have disappeared under strange circumstances over the years.  In many case it is believed that the family’s simply needed to, or wanted to, start a new life and went off the grid to do so.  This week though we are going to look into a case that is certainly much more sinister than that and even though the remains of a husband, wife and young daughter were recovered, proving that they did not disappear purposely, there still are no concrete answers, no suspects and there has been no resolution whatsoever to what happened to them.  Over the years many theories abound as to what may have happened in this case and investigators themselves have even said that most people investigating murder would wish for the evidence that they have in this case, and yet, the evidence seems to point in many directions without any clear path to take to solve the crimes. Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher MusicSocial Media for GBNF:GBNF on FacebookGBNF on TwitterGBNF on InstagramGBNF on TikTokGBNF on YoutubeGBNF on Patreon
