    Episode #201: Yara Gambirasio | The Flatwoods Monster & the Italian Gentleman

    In this episode of Brutal, Bizarre, and Boozy, Jane explores the heartbreaking case of Yara Gambirasio, the 13-year-old Italian girl whose disappearance sparked one of the largest investigations in Italy's history. From an exhaustive DNA hunt involving thousands of samples to a controversial conviction, this case remains one of the most discussed true crime stories in modern Europe. Then Deklan heads into the bizarre with the legend of the Flatwoods Monster. Was it an extraterrestrial visitor, a case of mass hysteria, or a misidentified owl? More than 70 years later, the strange encounter in rural West Virginia continues to fuel UFO debates and cryptid lore. We also drink the Italian Gentleman cocktail.
