In the world of true crime, we're often fascinated more by some cases than others. Courtney joined me to talk about one that has appalled me for a very long time... Danny Rolling, media-nicknamed the "Gainesville Ripper" after a series of horrific crimes in August 1990, was just a bad dude. But he had some latent talents that could have pulled his entire life in a different direction. Guest: Courtney, The Cult of Domesticity Disclaimer: Amy G.

The last time I talked about Sheila LaBarre, it was Episode 27, with the Voice of the Victim podcast. This time, it's a different style , with a lot more walruses. Tara and Barney are so smart and so great, and I have no idea why they put up with me. Mostly sustained groveling, I think. From the Bloody Murder show notes: Diagnosed as acutely delusional and sadistic, rabbit-lovingSheila LaBarre murdered at least two of her boyfriends, Michael Deloge and Kenneth Countie, on her remote farm in Epping, New Hampshire. She said she had died of a drug overdose and was sent back to Earth as an angel with special powers here to seek vengeance on paedophiles. The problem was that her victims were not paedophiles. She would seduce slightly built, transient men, move them into her house and completely dominate their lives. Then she would torture them into confessing to being paedophiles on tape, before killing them and burning their remains. ----------- Network: Himalaya (presented by Heather, Sunshine & PowerCuts) Facebook group: The Asylum Sponsors: Bath By Bex (code CBDkate for 15% off) Merch: bit.ly/iwbpodcastmerch Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IWBpodcast Music: DFA by OnlyMeith Artwork: Emily -- UnapologeticArtist

On December 14, 2012, 20 children and 6 adults lost their lives in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, USA. It was bad.This is not the story of the shooter, or the society, or a number of other big, bad things. This is 20-some stories of the lost, or the kids, or the small, good things. Please note that there is NOT a disclaimer to this one, but it is the hardest episode I have created and it is even harder to listen to. Even though it's mostly happy. Even though there is no gore or threat. They deserve your time, if you can give it. And if you can't, you can't: no guilt there.

We've talked about substance abuse (specifically alcoholism) and sobriety more than once, here, and we're about to do so again. Kind of. But this time, there's an added element: my 18-year-old, who has yet to indulge in illegal substances to excess -- as far as I know -- and has not yet come remotely near addiction. As any good teenager does, she has lots of opinions and thoughts on the matter... some of which are actually pretty insightful, while others are happily clueless. And her compassion is well beyond her years. So, while you enjoy a Thanksgiving break, or just another Thursday, here's what I'm thankful for: all of you, for listening and putting up with me... my family and friends... and these brave, strong, beautiful women (Kim, Karla, Danielle and Emily).

April 17, 1975 - October 20, 1992 A life ended. Uncountable others changed. This episode has murder, obsession, borderline personality disorder, a truly screwy court case, and a reminder that knives in schools aren't all that weird in upstate New York. But. April 17, 1975 - October 20, 1992 David Scott Eccleston. Scotty, to his family, but Dave in school. He was athletic, artistic, and outgoing. He was looking forward to college, having already earned a scholarship before the first semester of high school was over. Then he was dead, and the circus that followed his murder completely overshadowed his life. He mattered, but aside from the things I know, from my friends and the grapevine that stretched the 45 minutes or so from New Berlin to my hometown, it is nearly impossible to fill out more of the blanks in his life. S o even in this episode, his life is lost in the haze of rumor and assumption and violence. But he mattered. Please remember him. https://david-eccleston.muchloved.com / https://www.evesun.com/news/stories/2012-10-19/16068/Letter-to-the-Editor-Remembering-David-Scott-Eccleston / https://www.evesun.com/news/stories/2007-10-19/2926/The-Eccleston-Murder-One-Friends-Reflection-Fifteen-Years-Later / http://townsquarenewyork.com/looking-back-20-years-to-the-murder-of-david-s-eccleston / ..................................................

If you haven't already checked out our shared episode on Chris' excellent show, Killer Jobs, please head over there and listen to that, first. It's not strictly necessary, in order to enjoy this one, but it will fill in a lot of blanks and maybe you'll pick up on a few more of the goofy references. Regardless, whether you wanted it or not, here you go: my concerns about sentencing and incarceration, my thoughts on what we should change first in the criminal justice system, and why this whole damn episode leaves me more optimistic than I have felt in a really long time. Because Chris and I come at this stuff from very different philosophies and perspectives, yet we're able to engage in a respectful, intelligent discourse without resorting to name-calling or insults.

This episode is different for me, in several ways. For one, it has not one, but two disclaimers. The first is done by Allyson from Dumb and Busted, and she did a lovely job. The second was my own compulsion, because the episode goes into much more graphic and specific details of a serial rapist and murderer's crimes than I typically include. For another, about half of it is scripted, and I never script anymore. It stresses me out. But I was helped -- and this is the next big exciting difference -- by the incomparable Roseanne, from Killafornia Dreaming. She wrote the first half, and I mostly stuck to it without getting distracted or perfectionistic! The second half is where we go entirely off-script, and we land in places that are both familiar and completely unexpected. Buckle in, kids. It's a wild ride.

How do you know the difference between fear and anxiety? ...between specific and generalized anxiety? ...between distractibility and ADHD? ...between inattentive and hyperactive forms of ADHD? How about the difference between anxiety and ADHD? The lines might be both clearer, and fuzzier, than you'd expect. There are diagnostic websites all over the place, including Wikipedia, but I generally prefer the (...slightly...) less horrible/catastrophic approach as in websites like Very Well Mind. https://www.verywellmind.com/dsm-5-criteria-for-generalized-anxiety-disorder-1393147 https://www.verywellmind.com/adhd -4157282 Promos by Wining About Crime and Nature vs Narcissism.

Some tattoos have more meaning than others. Don't believe this middle-aged soccer mom? Listen to Mark Bullen, who is about to release a book about Russian prison tattoos and what they mean. It can help you think twice before randomly picking a symbol out of a tattoo parlor album just because it looks neat. Mark's book can be pre-ordered on Amazon, though because I'm extra-cool I've already read it. I recommend it, assuming you're into that sort of thing. (And you're here, so...)

AA is considered by many to be the ideal treatment approach for alcoholism, of all types, and really for substance abuse, in all forms. If you've put up with me for this long, you may not be shocked to learn that I don't believe there are many catch-alls in the world. Whether it's treatment methodology, blanket statements, or mindsets. Or pants. I was #blessed to be joined by Kim (from People Are Wild) and Karla* (from Go Postal), for a very honest, vulnerable and genuine conversation about what it means to experience alcoholism, as a woman, and what it means to try to pursue help. This is the first time I have deliberately covered the same topic more than once, and yet there is sadly little overlap between Episode 22 and this one. There's just too much to say, and too many ways to say it. So hang in there. It's a lot. *I don't identify Karla's podcast in the show, because I remembered to get permission to get her name, but forgot to ask about the show. She has given me the thumbs-up.

There are facts all around us, all the time. Things that happened. Things that exist. Things that are missing. And then there are the stories we tell about those facts, the way we connect different facts in order to tell a story .And if you're very lucky, you can meet someone who is willing and able to discuss this phenomenon, in depth, in a fun and engaging way. This was my fact: I got to speak with Steven Pacheco, of Trace Evidence. Here is yours: you can listen to him, off-script, and hear that he's a thoughtful, great guy even when he's not playing one on his own show. Promos from Murderish and Asian Madness.

The first part of my conversation with Scott Reeder (Suspect Convictions) remains focused and topical. The second part tends to ...stray... a bit, but maybe it needs to in order to make it clear that whenever people talk about a single case, they're actually speaking about dozens of individuals, potentially hundreds of family members, and really the entire society in which the case exists. They're not rabbitholes if there's something important down there somewhere...right? So, here's your chance to listen to me start off in a fairly well-behaved way and eventually practically accuse a man of murder (but not really). It was a challenging, thoughtful conversation, and I'm so grateful that Scott was willing to talk with me.

I was so lucky, recently, to be able to go on a two-week adventure around the British Isles with my husband and two older kids. I was extra-lucky to be able to stay a night in Dublin, during which Sinead, from the Mens Rea podcast, was gracious enough to show us a glimpse of the city, take us to dinner and a show, and spend a few hours with me... first recording this conversation, then hanging out at the PantiBar. Sinead hosts one of the first podcasts I ever listened to, and she is fully aware of just how fabulous her voice is -- almost as amazing as the rest of her. So sit back and relax while Sinead and I (joined by Emily!) get riled up over the pedophile priest scandals on both sides of the Atlantic, ponder the existance of giraffes, narwhals and Oprah, and banter in a wildly inappropriate manner. Which, if you're into that sort of thing... there is probably about half an hour of inappropriate *and* irrelevant banter that I cut out, for the sake of time, but that I can't bear to outright discard. It will be available on my Patreon feed within the next few days. Enjoy! Promos by True Crime Island and Dumb and Busted. Check out bathbybex.com, use promo code CBDkate for 15% off!

This is a hodgepodge of silliness, weirdness and outright giddiness, captured one morning midway through our family vacation. We talk about the ways jet lag can appear in different teenagers, why Emily is now haunted, and what we mean when we say "MURDERBIRD." You probably should just skip this one, it's really random and I'm still not entirely sure why I hit "record," except it was fun and we're having an amazing vacation and it's really, really important that you understand just how dangerous owls truly are.

Most of the time, we can rely on the people around us -- family, friends, coworkers -- to help remind us what "normal" mostly looks like. But what about the times when we're allowed to believe our own hype? ...especially when our hype is more than a little off-kilter from the start? Check out the Voice of the Victim podcast for the first two parts of this story, when we lay out a more detailed timeline and narrative of the life and crimes of Sheila LaBarre, a particularly dangerous and unkind specimen of humanity. Then listen here to decide, exactly how do we know when normal has gone too far? And if Kenny Countie's mother hadn't intervened as firmly as she did, just how many other victims might she have claimed?

Sometimes the most structured and predictable situations can suddenly go unpredictably off-script, in the very best ways. Laura and I started off this episode by following a literal script about Frederick Baer, who committed a truly horrible pair of murders while coming off a meth binge, and we ended up immersed in a very real conversation about what that could possibly have to do with a mother and grandmother facing theft charges. It went deep, in a beautiful way. Thanks again to Laura for her openness and courage. Promos by The Frankenpod and What the Actual Faith...

Podcasters are an interesting bunch, especially those in the true crime world. I think we're often seen as cynical, sarcastic, potentially intrusive, thick-skinned, addicted to tragedy porn... but the truth is, we're a creative, vulnerable, diverse, mostly well-intentioned group of people who feel just as driven to create as a painter or a sculptor. It's easy for me to say, but it can be even easier to believe if you hear it from more than one person, so here you go: Justin from the Obscura true crime podcast agreed to chat with me about the process behind pressing that little "publish" button. I hope you find it as interesting and enlightening and hopeful as I did. And never fear: we also discuss serial killers and mass shooters and generally dark subjects, as well, so you get both the darkness... and the hope.

Every once in a while, if you're very lucky, you'll form a friendship with someone who is smart and self-aware and vulnerable. And if you're not that lucky, you can at least listen in on a really fabulous conversation that unfolded between me and Kim (of People Are Wild fame). She talks about the process of realizing you might be an alcoholic, even if you don't drink every day, even if you're young, even if you don't think you are. It's pretty amazing, and I'm so grateful that she was willing to talk about it all in front of a microphone. Promos by Dark Poutine and Super Serious Social Justice.

What does it mean to waste something? You have to value it first, then discard it, I think. But who decides, and how? This becomes less cerebral and more real when the topic isn't a safe, high-level cerebral exercise, but instead a truly horrific and upsetting case of child abuse. We don't go into a ton of detail here, but it's enough for you to get the picture. Concepts like waste and value aren't just for the classroom.

Before I started this podcast, I would not have been able to guess that a relatively early episode would not just touch upon, but be based entirely upon the world of professional wrestling.

Where is the line between hobby and craft... and obsession? I think most podcasts start out as little hobbies, and then they can grow, sometimes without us even realizing it's happening. Shane Waters, of the Out of the Shadows podcast, has been doing this a lot longer than I have, so I'll let him decide exactly where he falls on that spectrum. I kind of suspect that, just lately, what it all means to him might have changed, seeing as how he has found a way to pull national attention to a previously ignored SERIAL KILLER. Kind of a big deal, you know? He might argue that he's just one piece of the puzzle, and it's true that a high school sociology class and an inspirational teacher helped aim that light that Shane first started shining. But he's one of the nicest people I have ever met, so I'm not sure he would willingly admit just how important his efforts have been. Come for the splashy, serial killer intensity. Stay for the genuine empathy and concern. The full press conference is on YouTube, and a much fuller, more nuanced story can be heard on Out of the Shadows.

Anxiety is what happens when your nerves give the finger to your sense of logic. Somehow that felt profound to me, during the editing process. I don't know. I spent more time with this episode -- living it, then overthinking it, then editing, blah blah -- than any previous one. I'm losing perspective. But I know just how common, just how pervasive, just how absolutely miserable anxiety is, and in this episode, many of my friends, fellow podcasters and listeners chimed in to prove it. I opted not to share anyone's name, because somehow that sense of anonymity felt more profound, too. Feel free to identify yourself, if so inclined. I'm not opposed to it, I just wanted to be able to share everyone's story in the same way. (Except for the last guest. That's my husband. Isn't he a sweetheart?) I was heading up to face my biggest, nastiest, snarliest, scariest fear -- the dentist, because while I do take it the extra mile, I couldn't be bothered to find a unique or uncommon phobia -- and I asked people to share their anxieties, too. And almost 20 people were brave and open enough to do so. Freaking badass. So, settle in, and listen to what happens to create anxiety, what makes people anxious, and what we can maybe do (plus what we shouldn't bother doing) to make it better.

This is what happens when a bunch of podcasters say, "Yeah, we really SHOULD just get together and chat about nothing for a while."

She's baaaack... Emily joined me again, this time to stay a bit less bizarre and discuss a mysterious double disappearance in the Panamanian rainforest. Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were Dutch women in their early 20s, starting an extended stay in Panama to study Spanish and do volunteer work. They left for what should have been a short walk in the woods, but never returned. It's a case that has captured Emily's attention, imagination, conspiracy-theory neurons, etc. So we chat about it, as well as the inevitable tangents such as how adding the word "cheese" to the end of any noun suddenly creates a really gross concept (don't bother practicing it, we demonstrate it during the episode... a lot) and the concept of really huge, scary squirrels. Emily also creates a lovely motivational quote, which will be up on my merch site soon. We get goofy at times, but we know that this is a real-world case and involves real-world pain. Our hearts ache for the Froon and Kremers families, the host family, and the rest of those hurt by the girls' loss. Promos from Florida Man Strikes Again and The Short Stories of Augie Peterson.

In my first episode, I was fortunate enough to share the story of a close friend, as well as that of another domestic violence survivor, in an effort to demonstrate why people might stay in a hurtful relationship and how lives can change based on one or two small decisions. This time, I'm looking a bit more at the accumulation of experiences and culture and social expectations, and how those all build to create long-term, durable relationships that take belittlement and violence for granted. My guest in this episode has a long-term view and can describe the atmosphere better than I can, both at large and within the family... because she's my grandmother. My mother appears in Episode 8, and now you'll hear: my grandmother is pretty badass, too.

How does a psychologist cope with a Really Bad Day? Well, apparently, today, I coped by tossing together another episode, with the inadvertant help of my friend Jessa, from the Getting Off podcast.

And now we get down to it. This is what makes me happy: talking, occasionally inappropriately, about Mean People Doing Bad Things. Playing with the specificities of diagnosis. Including slang and pop culture references into a conversation that otherwise could almost pass as official. Thank you, again and several more times, to Lee from Murder was the Case, for giving me a chance to play. Hoping there is a next time, and the sooner the better. Shout-outs to Gen Why and Reveal for their different approaches to the case; this episode is already more than long enough, so knowing that there are other podcasters that have more than adequately addressed some angles lets me slide over big chunks of the narrative without worrying that important things are being left unsaid.

Nothing is sacred -- not the simplicity of a Hallmark card or the complexity of someone's Lucky Shirt for his Favorite Team -- when two scholars are allowed to ponder without careful supervision. This was intended to be an interview about a specific case, but we quickly realized there were several extra words we needed to get out of the way first. We'll be back with that actual, originally intended, case soon. Enjoy a promo from my friends Quinn and Ember at Fiercely Altered Perspective, and, possibly even more exciting, I have new music from IMUNURI.com!!

I really, really didn't think I would ever get this episode out to you all. Like, really. First of all, it's the result of a crossover with Billy & Erica, from Martinis and the Macabre, and I was so freaking fangirl-y the whole time that I wasn't sure I'd say a thing that made sense. Then, there's the fact that I'm still crap at the whole sound editing thing, so this is the best I could do. THEN, while I was in the process of trying to edit it in time to coincide with their release, my brain decided to explode. No, like, literally, I started feeling really, really unwell, so I made it up two flights of stairs just in time to let my husband know that I was feeling Really Gross, and I dropped with a grand mal seizure. Yeah. So I can't re-narrate any of my stuff, because I bit my tongue bad enough that, five days later, I still don't have SSSS-sounds. Or a bunch of others. So. Please, please enjoy this. Please think it's interesting. Because I like it, well enough to hit publish.

How do we know when it's time to go to the ER? Sometimes, we're bleeding heavily, or losing consciousness, or spiking a fever. Other times, it's harder to know, because the same organ that is primarily responsible for making that call is the one that is hurting the worst: your brain.

You know that thing where you try to make sense of a topic, and it simply refuses to click? I have that about certain corners of the internet, specifically the weird ones where creepypasta, ARGs and Cursed Images are formed. I also have that about teenagers. So what better way to try to make sense of it all than to combine those things, by asking my 17-year-old daughter to join me and explain her mysterious online life?? I'm not sure I succeed in applying rational thought to much here, but I manage to sneak in a word about the Slenderman assault in Wisconsin, and groupthink, and even the Salem Witch Hysteria. I feel a little... mush-brained... after editing this one, but I hope it makes sense to one or two of you out there.

Who escapes, and how, when the prison walls are invisible, and no physical keys exist to unlock the doors? Domestic violence is an uncomfortable, scary topic. For my first episode, I focused on the survivor's story, because my friend was brave and generous enough to share her story. For now, though, listen to the stories of two smart, capable women, but be warned: it's not as unfathomable to end up in this type of hell as you might imagine. Are you sure you want to know? Remember... sometimes, Ignorance Was Bliss.
