    In the world of true crime, the stories never cease to amaze. Join us as we dive into two chilling cases that continue to captivate the nation and explore the controversies surrounding Alec Murdaugh.First up, Lori Vallow Daybell returns to the spotlight. Lori was convicted in May 2023 for the gruesome murders of her own children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and the conspiracy to murder her husband's ex-wife, Tammy Daybell. The verdict? A life sentence with no chance of parole. But is this truly the end of the story? Lori has invoked the appeals process, raising concerns about her mental state, prosecutorial conduct, and more. We'll dive into the details and explore the twists and turns of this haunting case. We also visit the complex saga of Danny Masterson, known for his role in "That '70s Show." Masterson faced shocking allegations of rape dating back to the early 2000s and (even with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis) was recently sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. And then there's Alec Murdaugh, whose controversies have garnered significant attention.

    Oxygen released a full length documentary that explores the child sexual abuse accusations that are plaguing the Jehovah’s Witness organization. I have been following the allegations for a number of years, so this is hardly a new issue, but it is gaining media attention due to the sheer number of lawsuits that are being levied against the religion.I am particularly interested in following this story because I was once married to a member of the religion (my son's dad) and I did study the Bible with my former mother in law and spouse. I had very strong opinions then, but I felt as if I wasn’t giving the religion a fair shot due to my Baptist upbringing. I have long since re-evaluated my thoughts on ALL organized religion and as the stories pile up I am glad that I never was indoctrinated into the Witnesses.Visit TCbyTB.com for sources and links for more info!Jet Fueled VixenMusic from https://filmmusic.io:"Jet Fueled Vixen" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) From  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/true-crime-by-the-book/exclusive-content
