A Murderess Affair Gabrielle

Let’s talk about the legend of Riina- called Melanasia’s female ghostbuster. She is known as the legendary leader of Pacific warriors who, when cannibalistic ghosts kidnapped two women from the Solomon Islands, rose to the cause and was able to rescue them. 

This week we're talking about "Onake" Obavva, a South Indian woman who took on an army by herself in the late 1700s, smashing men over the head with a club as they tried to sneak one by one into her town. This is a story you won't want to miss. 
 
Let's also talk about the Kaitlin Armstrong updates! Finally caught after 43 days on the run, here's what we know so far. 

Annie Dookhan is a convicted felon who pled guilty to falsifying evidence that affected up to 34,000 cases in the state of Massachusetts. She worked as a chemist for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Drug Abuse Laboratory.

In the wake of the Roe v Wade decision, it is easy to feel hopeless, and angry. I wanted to make an episode that talked about the women who came before us, and how they fought against a system that was determined to deny them their basic human rights and access to healthcare.

About the recent Supreme Court decision, founder Heather Booth said,  "It's certainly against the promise of this country and against freedoms that we've worked so hard for. but we can make a difference and we can make a future...we need to turn our anger into action. because it's when we stay hopeless and helpless that we become victims. We are not victims, we are the hero of our story." 

This week we're talking about current fugitive Kaitlin Armstrong, wanted in connection to the murder of Moriah "Mo" Wilson. Armstrong was last on surveillance footage at the Newark International Airport. US Marshals are currently offering $5,000 for any information in connection to her arrest.
