    Lisa Hayden-Johnson: She Made Her Healthy Son Sick

    Lisa Hayden-Johnson was praised as a devoted mother caring for her desperately ill son. But Matthew was healthy. For years, Lisa convinced doctors that he had numerous serious conditions, resulting in a wheelchair, feeding tube, oxygen bottles, and more than 325 unnecessary medical procedures. She even added glucose to his urine samples to create false evidence of diabetes. In this episode, we examine how Lisa deceived an entire medical system, what she gained from keeping Matthew sick, and why she still insists she was only putting her son first.

    Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza: The Stolen Newborn

    Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza spent months convincing her husband and family that she was pregnant. She gained weight, altered medical documents, produced fake ultrasound images and celebrated at a baby shower for a child she knew she was not carrying. But a fabricated pregnancy came with a very real deadline. On June 17, 2009, Ale entered the maternity ward of Hospital General de México carrying an empty department-store bag. Hours later, she walked out with newborn Katia Valentina hidden inside it. In this episode of GBRLIFE of Crimes, we examine the pregnancy losses and relentless shame that surrounded Ale, the psychology that allowed her lie to keep growing and the choice that turned another mother into its victim. We also uncover what happened to Ale’s husband, Arturo, who believed the pregnancy was real and spent more than two years imprisoned for a crime he did not know was happening. Ale’s losses were not her fault. The kidnapping was. Everything worth understanding about this case exists in the distance between those two truths.

    Donna Adelson: The Family Fixer | The Murder of Dan Markel

    Donna Adelson had no direct connection to the men who murdered her former son-in-law, Dan Markel. What investigators found instead was a trail of phone calls, suspicious payments, family interference, handwritten scripts, and a 2014 day planner containing the license plate number of Dan’s car. In this episode, we examine the Adelson family’s enmeshed dynamics, the custody dispute that prosecutors said created the motive, and how investigators spent 11 years climbing from the gunmen to the woman accused of helping set everything in motion. This is the story of Donna Adelson, the family she spent a lifetime building, and what happened when protecting that family became indistinguishable from controlling it.

    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.
