Nineteen-year-old PFC LaVena Johnson was found dead on a military base in Iraq, with the Army ruling it a suicide. But the evidence—broken teeth, burns, a dislocated shoulder, and signs of sexual assault—tells a different story. Her father, a psychologist and military veteran, refused to accept the official explanation and uncovered disturbing details suggesting a cover-up. Was LaVena murdered? And if so, why has the truth been buried for nearly two decades? Let's explore this case, the fight for justice, and the questions that still demand answers.Connect with Paige:BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.socialInstagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paige.elmoreWritten by: Chelsea PerryIntro and Outro by: Jahred GomesResources:Department of Defense.

In this episode Nicolene and Jana both need to talk through the research they are doing at the moment. Nicolene discusses her constant fascination with the grid in her painting works and wonders how it will morph to fit with what she is making now. From a data log to a meditation medium and now a tool to speak about political identity, the grid seems to follow her everywhere. How do we recognise the geographic realities that are so often positioned “off the grid”? Jana airs out some of her current research on anticolonial and feminist geography. She draws on Sylvia Wynter's work on humanism to explore connections between philosophy, place-making, and being human.

In 1838, Frenchwoman Henriette d'Angeville set out to climb Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, against the advice of nearly everyone she knew. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow d'Angeville up the mountain to fulfill what she called "a monomania of the heart." We'll also escape Australia in a box and puzzle over a fixed game. Intro: In 1986, Florida bankruptcy judge A. Jay Cristol issued an order inspired by "a little old ebony bird." Puzzling poet S.R.
