Originally released in January 2023, CW: SA, violenceOn June 23 1993, after enduring years of physical and emotional abuse, Lorena Bobbitt infamously cut off the p*nis of her sleeping husband, John Wayne Bobbit. The case instantly becomes content for the 24 news cycle and a joke for late night comedians but the backstory is much more sinister. In this episode, we will discuss how Lorena was a victim of domestic abuse during a time when there were no laws and few systems in place to protect or help women stuck in dangerous relationships.We will also examine the trials of John and Lorena, gender bias in the media and the court room, domestic violence and the difficulty of leaving abusive situations. Lastly, we'll go over why this story is still important to talk about thirty years later and ask whether there are more options now than there were then. Sources: Bell, Rachael.

The next year her backpack was found buried in trash bags 30 miles from where she was last seen. For years there was no new information in the case until September 2024 when search warrants were released, suspects were named and confessions were alleged.

In this episode we'll be going through the time period after Casey's arrest on July 16th and before her arraignment on October 14th. We'll also be hearing her jail house visits, the Timer55 Theory, George and Cindy's media interviews and media appearances as well as talking about missing children's cases and how they play out in the media, and meeting a new character of this story Nancy Grace.When we last left off it was July 17th and Casey was booked into The Orange County Jail. She'd been arrested less than 24 hours after her mother Cindy had made three 911 calls, the last one frantically explaining “my granddaughter has been taken she's been missing for a month, my daughter admitted to me she's been missing for a month I just found my daughter But I can't find my granddaughter. I found my daughters car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car….This is a three year old little girl… I need to find her,” when police arrived Casey explained to them, she had left Caylee with her longterm nanny Zanny 31 days ago at Sawgrass aparmtments, she met Zanny through co-workers and her closest friends at Universal Studios where she'd worked for four years, when the detectives went to Sawgrass Apartment unit 210 had been empty for months; when Casey led detectives to her office at Universal Studios where she worked as a party planner they hit a literal dead end and told detectives “I don't really work here,” she's interrogated and placed under arrest. She gets her one jailhouse phone call asking for her boyfriend's number, the Anthony's do not realize this will later be played on the news, and she aquires Jose Baez as her attorney. Jose Baez writes in his book that one of the State's biggest mistakes was how quickly Casey was arrested, because once she was lawyered up, that was that she was not talking— but both the prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Jose Baez do offer a reason that made sense to them on the swiftness of the arrest, and that reason was a woman named Melinda Duckett.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.
