    Fraudster: Belle Gibson

    In 2009, a young woman in Perth, Australia, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and told she had 4 months to live. She started doing conventional treatment which made her very sick. During this time, she found out she was pregnant. She stopped all treatments at this time and completely changed her diet. Three years later, she was still alive and thriving. She created an Instagram account where she documented her healthy lifestyle and claimed this lifestyle had cured her cancer.  She quickly grew a massive social media following which led to a health and wellness app, The Whole Pantry, and a book deal of the same name. Her followers were inspired by her and thought her story was amazing. And it would be…if any of it were true.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss Hannah’s dust phobia, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Dr. Phil.     CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of fraud and cancer.

    Serial Arsonist: Paul Keller

    Over a 6 month period of 1992 in Seattle, WA, a serial arsonist was on the loose. He started by burning down churches and then moved on to businesses and homes. He was quick and sneaky, and police couldn’t catch him. Eventually, with the help of a forensic hypnotist and sketch artist, police received a tip from a man who believed his son, Paul Keller, was the arsonist. After surveilling Paul for ten days, he was arrested and confessed to setting over 75 fires, one of which led to the death of three elderly women.   Come along with Hannah and Lainey as they discuss bringing a friend on walks, hypnosis, and do taller people walk faster?  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of arson and homicide.

    National Day of Awareness for MMIW: Hanna Harris

    Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. In honor of this day, today’s episode is about just one of these missing and murdered women.  Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992 in Montana. She was raised in Lame Deer, MT on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. On July 3, 2013, Hannah left her 10 month old son in the care of her uncle while she went out with family and friends to the 4th of July Powwow. Her car was found abandoned on a dead end road early the next morning.  Without the help of police, her family was able to gather over 100 people to help search for Hanna. After five agonizing days, her body was discovered in a field near her car. Hanna’s killers were eventually arrested and prosecuted, but if the authorities would have stepped in and helped from the beginning, maybe one of her killers wouldn’t be free right now.  This is just one Indigenous woman’s story, but there are countless others. The statistics are staggering. If you want to help bring awareness to this epidemic, wear red today, share this episode, donate to or get involved with the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center at https://www.niwrc.org/.   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, violence, and homicide.

    The Brutal Murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers

    In 2015, Dr. Teresa Sievers was brutally murdered in her home in Florida. She had left a family trip early because she had a medical practice to run. Her husband and two daughters were thousands of miles away at the time of the murder, but investigators still suspected her husband almost immediately. Mark Sievers was over the top dramatic during his initial interview with police. Unfortunately, investigators had nothing to link him to the crime.  Until two weeks later when they received an anonymous tip from someone in Missouri. This led them to Curtis Wayne Wright and Jimmy Ray Rodgers. Turns out, Curtis and Mark had been best friends since high school. In fact, Mark had just been Curtis’s best man in his wedding two months earlier.  With the help of recovered GPS records and CCTV footage, detectives were able to link Curtis, Jimmy, and Mark to the murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers. All three received different sentences and two of them continue trying to appeal.   Come along with Hannah and her mom as they discuss Hocus Pocus the cat, the “Hammer”, and how we’re not the friend you call to help you bury a body.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of violence and homicide.

    Missing for 27 years: Jacob Wetterling

    During the fall of 1989 in a small Minnesota town, three young boys rode their bikes to the video store to rent a movie. On their way home, they were confronted by a man in a mask who ordered them to lay in a ditch. The man told two of the boys to run away and not to look back or else he would shoot them. The boy that was left with the man was Jacob Wetterling. It would be 27 years before his remains would be discovered and his family would see justice.  In 2016, Danny Heinrich was questioned about Jacob’s disappearance. He made a full confession and led investigators to his body. In exchange for his full cooperation, Heinrich was not charged with murder but just the child sexual abuse charges he was already facing.  Jacob’s family and community are the epitome of hope. On October 22, 2016, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton declared October 22nd to be “Jacob Wetterling Day.” Every year on this day, residents leave their porch lights on to honor Jacob and all other missing children.   Come along with Hannah and Lainey as they discuss this case and Hannah’s favorite things: Harry Potter and Taylor Swift.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of child abuse, abductions, and homicide.

    White Island Eruption

    Tourists had been visiting White Island in New Zealand for over 30 years. Despite it being an active volcano, no one had ever been injured by it erupting before. On December 9, 2019, there were multiple tour groups visiting the island when it started to erupt. Because White Island is a stratovolcano, it isn’t lava that erupts out of it, but steam. There were forty-seven people on the island when it erupted. Twenty-two people lost their lives, but the rest survived. The survivors have overcome horrific burns but that’s nothing compared to the psychological trauma that comes with surviving a catastrophic event.  In the midst of all this chaos and pain and terror, there were ordinary people who did extraordinarily brave things to help others. Ordinary people who defied orders in order to save lives. The stories of these survivors and rescuers prove that you can always find goodness and hope if you look for it.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss demontors, pyroclastic surges, the Titanic, and Star Wars.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of natural disasters, severe injuries, and PTSD.

    The Horrific Murder of Sarah Cherry

    On July 6, 1988, 12-year-old Sarah Cherry was babysitting for the first time. Mr. and Mrs. Henkel had hired Sarah to watch their 10-month-old baby, Monica. When Mrs. Henkel arrived home around 3pm, baby Monica was sound asleep in her crib, but Sarah was nowhere to be found. Her glasses, shoes, and jacket were still in the home so Mrs. Henkel knew something was horribly wrong. She called 911.  When detectives arrived, Mrs. Henkel handed them two items she had found in her driveway that afternoon: a notebook and a receipt to an autobody repair shop. The name at the top of the receipt was Dennis Dechaine. After Sarah’s body was discovered two days later, investigators were able to arrest Dennis Dechaine for her murder. Despite all the evidence pointing towards Dennis, he still maintains his innocence and his family and friends have created a nonprofit dedicated to proving he was framed for the murder.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss hotdog preferences, keeping your children in bubblewrap, and our favorite Spongebob moments.

    The Brutal Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier - Part 2

    In part two of this two part series, Hannah tells Bob all about Ian Bailey and his multiple arrests for the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Ian had given a statement to police early on in the investigation just because he was a neighbor and journalist. After Marie Farrell identified Ian as the man she saw on the bridge the night of Sophie’s murder, police closed in on him. Ian was arrested twice but had to be released after 12 hours of questioning both times because police didn’t have enough evidence to keep him.  Ian ends up suing the papers twice for libel and loses both times. In fact, these trials bring to light a lot of evidence that makes Ian look more guilty of the murder. But then in 2008, Marie Farrell retracts her original statement about seeing Ian on the bridge the night of Sophie’s murder. She ends up lying so much that she was no longer a reliable witness. Listen to the entire episode to find out what happens to Ian and if anyone is ever convicted of killing Sophie. Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss rollercoasters, canes, and are women who consume true crime content more observant than the rest of the population?
