November 9, 1994 was an ordinary Wednesday night for Laura Hoelscher and her husband, Darren, until they were startled by gunfire across the street. Rushing to their living room window, they witnessed their neighbor, Farah Fratta, fall to her garage floor and a masked man escape in a getaway car.

Dr. Thomas Burchard, a pediatric psychiatrist, was exceptional at taking care of others. Though he had good intentions, his habit of sending money to pretty women who were down on their luck, was not a good look for the esteemed doctor.

Tyshika Askins was a beautiful, 22-year-old mother with her whole life ahead of her. She was responsible and organized, which is why her baby's father, Alonza Dennis, grew concerned when she didn't arrive to pick up their 2-year-old son. After finding her lifeless body in the bedroom of her apartment, police immediately zeroed in on Alonza as their prime suspect. With the circumstantial evidence piling up against Alonza, investigators were stunned when a crucial piece of evidence excluded him from the crime scene.

The Mahmod family fled Iraq to pursue a better life in South London in the late 1990's, but a better life was not waiting there for the young girls in the family. The parents and other elders imposed strict, religious values onto Banaz Mahmod and her sisters; compromising everything they understood about right and wrong.

In Part 1 of The Yosemite Serial Killer: Cary Stayner, we discussed Cary's little brother Stephen and how he turned his personal tragedy into a way to help other and do some healing of his own.  In this episode, we talk about how Cary Stayner lived with a dark force that clouded his mind and made his murderous fantasies come to life. 

This is the story of how trauma can either catapult a victim into endless hopelessness or down a path of purpose and fulfillment. In Part 1, we discuss how a survivor was molded by tragedy, to do good. But, lurking in the periphery of his life, was a festering darkness that would spiral out of control and give way to a murderer.
