Severed | True Crime Podcast Rogue Media Network

In this episode, Drew Hudson solo-hosts on the Arne Johnson case (or The Devil on Trial documentary streaming on Netflix). Drew explores possession and what necessitates an exorcism, in general, and as it applied to 11-year-old David Glatzel, and his family, who firmly believed he was possessed. The conversation also considers the parasitic relationship of Ed and Lorraine Warren on the Glatzels, and the murder of Alan Bono for which Arne Johnson stood trial in October 1981.

CW/TW: This episode focuses on demonic possession and murder. Graphic imagery and details of the case and crime will be discussed. Listener discretion is advised.
