    Jonestown Massacre

    From a young age, Jim Jones had his eyes set on becoming a preacher. At 24 he would accomplish that goal by opening the Peoples Temple church in Indianapolis. But, by the end of his life he lead over 900 people to their death in what is now known as the Jonestown Massacre. Before 9/11 the Jonestown Massacre was the largest loss of U.S. civilian lives from a non-natural disaster, and I caution anyone who decides to look up this case because the pictures alone will have you shaking.

    Charles Manson: A Delusional Mess

    Family is everything. No question about it. True, they will get on your nerves like nobody’s business. But at the end of the day, it's all love. I WISH that was the theme for today. But, this “Family” is nothing of the sort. This “Family” ruthlessly murdered without remorse or care, all led by a deranged racist who couldn’t deal with rejection. What better way to kick off the cult season then by starting with Charles Manson.

    UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO MURDERS

    On November 13, 2022, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves lost their lives in a tragic quadruple homicide. Xana, Ethan, Madison and Kaylee all attended the University of Idaho and had come back from a night out when their lives were taken. Much of this episode’s facts and topics are coming from the Probable Cause Affidavit that was released last week. It is a statement made by Brett Payne, Corporal at the Moscow Police Department. CPL Payne is being assisted by the members of the Idaho State Police and the FBI. To be clear: There may be (and there probably is) more evidence in this case that is not in the affidavit. That is because the affidavit’s purpose is not to outline everything that the police know. It is to satisfy the probable cause for arrest standard. Please be sure to keep up with the case as the investigation is ongoing and new facts are sure to emerge.  Sources for this episode: THE AFFIDAVIT https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/05/us/bryan-kohberger-affidavit.html WTF ARTICLE https://www.wsj.com/articles/bryan-kohberger-idaho-murders-explained-11673046120 Jennifer Twitter (Former FBI Agent) ​​https://twitter.com/CoffindafferFBI 2014 Isla Vista Killings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Isla_Vista_killings

    THE BOY IN THE BOX IDENTIFIED!!!

    **TW: In this episode we discuss topics that are not suitable for all listeners. The topics we discuss include abuse toward children and gross mistreatment. Please take care and be well :) It’s February 25, 1957, and someone reports finding the body of a little boy in a box in Philadelphia. This was nearly 64 years ago, yet the boy in the box, or rather “America’s Unknown Child” is still considered one of the most infamous and mind boggling cases to strike our country. Last week we FINALLY got the news that the boy in the box has been identified!!!
