In this episode, we confront common misconceptions about predator behaviors with insight from retired deputy sheriff Joy Farrow and survivor-advocate Laura Frombach. Together, they reveal how predatory tactics unfold through subtle tests, familiar social scripts, and systemic blind spots—and discuss how to interrupt these patterns before they escalate into crisis.We start by redefining safety, looking at it through the lens of prevention. Drawing on years of frontline experience, Joy Farrow describes a shift: where once the evidence of harm was visible bruises, now it is visible fear. She explains how coercive control operates—isolating, restricting, and terrorizing without leaving physical marks. Laura Frombach adds a personal perspective, describing the lived experience of “mind colonization,” in which choices gradually shrink and even simple decisions begin to feel manipulated.Both Farrow and Frombach emphasize the importance of pattern recognition. They teach us to identify predatory behaviors: microtests of boundaries, subtle nudges for compliance, violations of personal space, and how a moment's hesitation can give predators the time they need to act.Using the 2022 University of Idaho murders as a backdrop, we analyze how planning, surveillance, and a sense of entitlement often contradict the “he snapped” narrative. The case against Bryan Kohberger, a convicted murderer, demonstrates a crucial distinction: progress, such as sobriety or earning a new degree, does not equate to genuine change in mindset or safety.We then shift the focus to solutions. These include implementing practical home security layers, maintaining stricter control over access and location sharing, and using everyday tools such as pepper spray and personal alarms. Farrow and Frombach also advocate for a cultural shift—honoring intuition and acting on early warning signs, rather than waiting for a crisis to make headlines. Institutions are also encouraged to strengthen their early warning systems and to respond to the first red flag.If you have ever sensed that something was wrong and hesitated to act, this conversation provides language, tools, and actionable next steps. We encourage you to subscribe for ongoing information, share this episode with someone who could benefit, and leave a review detailing the safety habits you are adopting. Your shared story could help someone else trust their instincts in the future.

You failed us, Party People. We begged and we pleaded and we cried for you to bring us a potential true crime Christmastime story that wasn't another family massacre, and here we are again — and in a tranquil town named for a pretty flower, no less. Ho ho help, it's time for Christopher and Eric to serve up the second episode ever of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, entitled "Christmas Carnage In Carnation". "No one loves Christmas more than sixty-year old Wayne Anderson and his sixty-one-year old wife Judy"… Well, as we all know on HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, that's their first mistake. What other diabolical events turn this woodsy spread of sheds and trailers into a scene out of a horror movie? On this fateful Christmas Eve night, holy hell is more like it. Get ready for another Crueltide Carol!

For 27 years, she was just Jane Doe, a nameless woman found decomposed in an Iowa ditch in 1978. In 2006, a fingerprint match finally gave her a name: Wilma June Nissen, a 23-year-old mother. Wilma's daughter Krissi spent nearly 30 years believing her mother had abandoned her, only to learn the devastating truth that she'd been murdered just after Krissi's first birthday. Now, Krissi is fighting to solve her mother's cold case, and investigators believe they know who did it. This is the story of a woman who was failed by every system that should have protected her. Someone out there knows what happened that summer night in 1978, and Wilma June Nissen deserves justice.To Report Information:Crime Stoppers USA: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)Website: crimestoppersusa.orgCold Case Coalition Tip Line: (385) 258-3313WeTip Anonymous Tip Line: 1-800-78-CRIME (1-800-782-7463)Sioux Falls Crime Stoppers: (605) 367-7007 or toll-free (877) 367-7007Website: crimestopperssiouxempire.comSupport Resources: If you or someone you know has experienced child abuse, neglect, or sexual exploitation:National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888Krissi's Platforms:Justice4WilmaJuneNissen.comwilmasdaughter.substack.comBluesky: @krissihaas1977.bsky.socialTikTok: Krissi_1977medium.com/@justice4wilmaX (Twitter): @MyMomsMurderChange.org petition: https://c.org/7jyxTjGVzCSOURCES:https://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/wilma-june-nissen/https://projectcoldcase.org/2025/05/12/wilma-nissen/https://www.nwestiowa.com/news/new-lead-for-lyon-county-cold-case/article_31e9c062-1961-11e6-a014-53443c67e206.htmlhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/14825036/wilma-nissen-cold-case-mom-murdered-krissi-atkisson-iowa/https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/cold-case-spotlight/wilma-nissen-rock-rapids-iowa-homicide-unsolved-rcna232527https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/article_6820cdc8-6145-5524-9fc2-3e96212da18e.htmlhttps://muscatinejournal.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/article_e6a2c980-b20e-5d53-a74c-435d649b4828.htmlhttps://nonpareilonline.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/article_4409d496-4e68-5e8e-b907-f5e1c42decc8.htmlhttps://siouxlandnews.com/archive/arrest-made-in-1978-lyon-county-cold-case-01-26-2016https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2025/05/08/missing-murdered-who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-1978/https://medium.com/@CrimeStoriesNow/unraveling-the-cold-case-the-wilma-june-nissen-mystery-e6908d9e9ed2https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2021/02/14/the-murder-of-wilma-june-nissen/https://seasonofjustice.org/featured/wilma-june-nissen/https://original.newsbreak.com/@fatim-hemraj-561392/2226594487639-who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-help-solve-this-43-year-old-cold-casehttps://medium.com/chameleon/who-killed-wilma-june-nissen-help-solve-this-43-year-old-cold-case-41b784aba10https://www.maryhallbergmedia.com/post/unsolved-the-murder-of-wilma-nissenhttps://synovaink.com/2025/03/12/jane-doe-mother-identified-cold-case-of-wilma-june-nissen/Dakota Spotlight Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/krissis-search-the-murder-of-wilma-june-nissen/id1451783176?i=1000704327368Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.Keep In Touch:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/reveriecrimepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reverietruecrimeContact: ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.com Intro & Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official

This Day in Legal History: Madoff ArrestedOn December 11, 2008, Bernard L. Madoff was arrested by federal agents and charged with securities fraud, marking the start of one of the most consequential white-collar crime cases in American legal history. Madoff, a former NASDAQ chairman and respected figure in the investment world, confessed to running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors—individuals, charities, and institutional clients—out of an estimated $65 billion. The legal scheme unraveled when Madoff admitted to his sons that the business was “one big lie,” prompting them to alert authorities. Prosecutors swiftly brought charges under multiple statutes, including securities fraud under 15 U.S.C. § 78j(b), mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, perjury, and false statements.The Department of Justice pursued criminal charges while the SEC, heavily criticized for prior inaction, launched civil enforcement actions under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Madoff waived indictment and pleaded guilty on March 12, 2009, to 11 felony counts without a plea deal. He was sentenced to 150 years in federal prison—the statutory maximum—and ordered to forfeit $170.8 billion, reflecting the full scope of the fraud. The case catalyzed intense scrutiny of the SEC's oversight failures and led to internal reforms within the agency, including new whistleblower protections and enhanced enforcement procedures.In the bankruptcy proceedings under SIPA (Securities Investor Protection Act), trustee Irving Picard was appointed to recover funds for victims, using clawback lawsuits under fraudulent transfer laws to retrieve ill-gotten gains from those who had profited—wittingly or not. The legal theories underpinning those suits, including the application of actual and constructive fraud standards, sparked complex litigation that continues to shape bankruptcy and securities jurisprudence. Madoff's arrest also prompted Congress to review gaps in financial regulation, laying groundwork for reforms later codified in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.Jury selection began in the federal trial of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of helping a Mexican migrant avoid arrest by U.S. immigration agents. The case, brought by the Trump administration's Justice Department, charges Dugan with concealing a person from arrest and obstructing federal proceedings, alleging she deliberately diverted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and allowed the migrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, to exit through a non-public courthouse door following a domestic violence hearing.Federal prosecutors argue that Dugan acted corruptly, citing her visible anger upon learning that ICE agents were present and her claim that a judicial warrant was required for the arrest—an assertion prosecutors say was false. Flores-Ruiz was ultimately arrested outside the courthouse after a brief chase.Dugan's defense contends that she was navigating unclear rules around courthouse immigration enforcement and had sought guidance from court leadership days earlier. Her legal team maintains she was not trying to obstruct justice but rather to understand what rules applied.The case illustrates the broader tension between local judicial discretion and federal immigration enforcement under Trump's expanded deportation policies, which have included more aggressive operations in local courthouses. Critics argue such tactics deter immigrants from accessing courts and undermine public confidence in the legal system.Dugan, a judge since 2016 and formerly head of Catholic Charities in Milwaukee, has been suspended from the bench pending the outcome of the trial. Her prosecution echoes an earlier Trump-era case against a Massachusetts judge accused of similar conduct—charges that were later dropped during the Biden administration.Wisconsin judge on trial as Trump administration targets immigration enforcement resistance | ReutersThe Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Interior Department to block its decision to feature President Donald Trump's image on the 2026 America the Beautiful national parks annual pass. The group argues the move violates the Federal Lands Recreational Enhancement Act of 2004, which requires the pass to display the winning photograph from a public contest depicting natural scenery or wildlife in a national park or forest.This year's winning photo—a landscape of Glacier National Park—was allegedly discarded in favor of a close-up image of Trump, posed beside George Washington, without any new contest or congressional approval. The lawsuit calls the switch an unlawful act of self-promotion and criticizes it as an attempt to turn a public symbol into a personal branding tool.Adding to the controversy, the lawsuit claims that the Glacier photo was demoted to a new $250 pass for foreign visitors, part of Trump's newly introduced “America-first” admissions system. The updated pricing structure and design were part of a broader Interior Department announcement touting “modernization” of park access.The lawsuit also highlights changes to the free admission calendar, noting that Trump's birthday (June 14) was added as a holiday, while existing free days honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and Juneteenth were eliminated. These shifts coincide with Trump's efforts to slash the national parks budget and workforce while raising fees for international visitors.Lawsuit seeks to keep Trump's face off of national parks annual pass | ReutersIn a piece for Forbes this week I unpacked the misleading claim that Social Security is no longer taxed under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Despite bold headlines and political messaging to the contrary, Social Security remains taxable, just as it has been since 1983. What the bill actually includes is an expanded senior-specific deduction—$6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples—that may reduce taxable income, but doesn't isolate or exempt Social Security from taxation in any way.The structure of Social Security taxation—where up to 85% of benefits can be taxed for higher-income seniors—remains untouched. What changed is that some seniors, depending on income and deductions, might now end up paying less tax, including on Social Security, not because the income is tax-exempt, but because the overall taxable income has been reduced. This is a fungible deduction, applicable to any income source, not a targeted policy shift.The White House's messaging reframes a broad-based, temporary deduction as a specific, permanent tax relief for seniors, creating confusion. While some retirees may see a tax reduction, the underlying rules that govern when and how Social Security is taxed have not changed, and inflation-adjusted thresholds that pull more seniors into taxability remain. The deduction itself expires in 2028, unlike other OBBBA provisions that benefit wealthier taxpayers and corporations.The element worth highlighting is the difference between a deduction and an exemption, and how political messaging often blurs this. Deductions reduce taxable income; exemptions remove specific income from taxation entirely. In this case, branding a general deduction as a Social Security exemption is both legally inaccurate and politically strategic—obscuring the truth behind a familiar and emotionally charged issue.The Truth About ‘No Tax On Social Security'The estate of an 83-year-old woman filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that their chatbot, ChatGPT, played a central role in a tragic murder-suicide in Connecticut. The suit claims that Stein-Erik Soelberg, a 56-year-old man experiencing delusions, had been interacting for months with GPT-4o, which allegedly validated and intensified his paranoid beliefs, ultimately leading him to kill his mother, Suzanne Adams, before taking his own life.The complaint, filed in California Superior Court, accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of product liability, negligence, and wrongful death, arguing that the chatbot systematically encouraged Soelberg's psychosis—affirming fantasies about divine missions, assassination attempts, and even identifying his mother as an operative. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft shares liability because it benefited directly from the deployment of GPT-4o and played a role in bringing the model to market.This is the first known lawsuit to link ChatGPT to a homicide, though it follows a growing number of legal actions that claim the AI system has fostered delusions and contributed to suicides. OpenAI denies wrongdoing, emphasizing efforts to improve mental health safeguards and noting that newer models have significantly reduced inappropriate responses in emotionally sensitive conversations.The suit also names OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as a defendant and cites Soelberg's social media posts as evidence of his deteriorating mental state and dependence on the chatbot. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and a court order to compel OpenAI to implement stronger safety measures. The law firm behind the case, Edelson PC, is also representing a similar lawsuit involving a California teenager's suicide allegedly linked to ChatGPT.OpenAI, Microsoft Sued Over Murder-Suicide Blamed on ChatGPT This is a public episode.

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner didn't just die on a cruise ship — she was killed. Her death certificate now confirms “mechanical asphyxia by another person(s),” with the manner officially ruled a homicide. Tonight, I break down the timeline of exactly what happened on the Carnival Horizon, how the evidence lines up, and why investigators are closing in on one specific window of time — and one specific person. In this deep-dive monologue, we cut through the noise, the family drama, the online chaos, and the TikTok meltdowns to focus on what the evidence actually says. Anna was placed in a cabin with a 16-year-old stepsibling she reportedly feared. Hours later, she was dead — wrapped, hidden under a bed, and covered with life jackets. This isn't speculation. This isn't rumor. This is the documented reality of the case. We walk through the decisions that led up to that night, the ignored red flags, the emotional collapse of the main suspect, the forensic truth of mechanical asphyxia, and the concealment behavior that tells investigators more than any interview ever could. This is the timeline as it stands now — what we know happened inside that cabin, how investigators are reconstructing the moments leading up to Anna's death, and why this case is tighter than the public realizes. Anna fought for her life. The evidence shows it. And soon, the truth will too.

By January 2007, all five suspects were in custody. Prosecutors had charged them with 46 counts including murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Between 2008-2010, four separate trials resulted in convictions. It seemed like justice had finally been served and the families could breathe. Then a scandal involving the judge, who presided over the trials, would rock their worlds. Because of his demons, the families would have to go through it all over again.Support ResourcesFor Survivors of Violence:https://www.rainn.org/ - RAINN (1-800-656-4673)https://www.thehotline.org/ - National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)https://www.crisistextline.org/ - Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741)https://988lifeline.org/ - 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineFor Families of Murder Victims:https://www.pomc.org/ - Parents of Murdered Childrenhttps://victimsofcrime.org/ - National Center for Victims of Crimehttps://www.ncvc.org/ - National Crime Victim Law InstituteSources:https://www.newspapers.com/ (Historical archive - subscription required)https://www.knoxnews.com/ (Search "Christian Newsom" for extensive archive)https://abcnews.go.com/ (Search "Channon Christian")https://www.cnn.com/ (Coverage of trials and scandal)https://www.foxnews.com/ (Michelle Malkin coverage 2007)https://www.wbir.com/ (WBIR-TV extensive trial coverage)https://www.wate.com/ (WATE 6 On Your Side)https://www.wvlt.tv/ (WVLT Local 8 News)https://www.tncourts.gov/ (Tennessee State Courts)https://www.tsc.state.tn.us/ (Tennessee Supreme Court opinions)https://www.knoxcounty.org/criminal/ (Knox County Criminal Court)https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/ (Tennessee case law database)https://scholar.google.com/ (Search: "State v.

An L.A. based podcast brought to you by two forensic psychologists who dissect the intersections where true crime, forensic psychology, and entertainment meet. Episode Description: Crazy In Love: Erotomania Dr. Scott & Dr. Shiloh get into the subcategory of Delusional Disorder, Erotomania; to have the delusional or false belief of a secret or known admirer. This disorder is often the trigger for obsessive celebrity stalkers and has been the cause for numerous violent acts. The docs explore the origin, criteria, and research of this rare phenomenon and cover the cases of John Hinkley Jr., Margaret Mary Ray, and the shooter who killed rising star Christina Grimmie.

Timestamp to skip the intro: (9:00) In early September 2025, an abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles to a tow yard after it violated a parking ordinance.  Within days, employees at the yard reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle and reported that it was attracting flies.   When authorities investigated, they discovered the body of a young female in the front trunk of the Tesla.   The body was identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a California teen who had been reported missing in 2024.   Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Celeste had been associated with the musician D4vd in recent years.  The two have documented interactions online.  When Celeste's body was discovered, she was noted to have a tattoo that matched one that d4vd has.   D4vd has since cancelled his upcoming tour and media sources report that he is a suspect in Celeste's death.  No charges have been laid but a grand jury has been convened in the case.   Read our blog for the case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/11/30/the-death-of-celeste-rivas-hernandez-is-d4vd-involved/   Join us on Patreon for weekly, exclusive content - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety   Be sure to follow us on all social media for the latest crime news – Instagram.com/truecrimesociety and search ‘True Crime Society'  on all other platforms.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On December 26, 1907, a teenage boatman walking along the Passaic River spotted two pale feet jutting from the black water of a swamp outside Harrison, New Jersey. Dragged from the muck, the woman had no clothes, no identification, and only a torn red coat and a homemade fur muff nearby to hint at who she'd been. Within days, the tabloids were calling it the Lampblack Swamp mystery—and when the victim was finally named as 35‑year‑old Brooklyn housewife Lena Whitmore, the spotlight swung to her jealous, violent husband, Theodore.​In this episode, we reconstruct Lena's last days: fleeing abuse to her sister's Bronx apartment, returning home after promises of change, and then vanishing on Christmas night. You'll hear how anonymous letters, a suspicious “don't expect me tonight” telegram, and prior assault charges painted Theodore as a likely killer, even as his defense insisted the state could not prove how—or even where—Lena died. We walk through the autopsy that proved she was alive when she hit the water, the circumstantial case that went to trial, and the hung jury that left her murder officially unsolved.​*This episode of Hitched to Homicide podcast discusses the subject domestic/intimate partner violence.

On this episode, we tackle the deadly consequences of failed security and immigration policies. Joe Dolio, Marine Corps veteran and fraud expert, joins us to discuss last week's National Guardsman shootings in D.C., the vulnerabilities exposed by unvetted immigration, and parallels with Somali fraud networks in Minnesota. We break down how lax vetting and governmental inaction put American lives at risk and what citizens can do to protect themselves in an increasingly chaotic environment.Colorado is in crisis. Under Governor Polis and a Democrat supermajority, crime, drug use, and homelessness have surged, while K-12 education continues its steady decline, slipping six spots nationally over eight years. Homicides and overdoses have risen every year since 2018, leaving families vulnerable and communities strained. From deadly crashes involving repeat offenders to violent home intrusions, Coloradans are feeling the impact of mismanaged priorities and weak enforcement policies.We also expose the state's systemic failures at home. With shocking cases like the Highway 83 crash that killed five, committed by a parolee with a long criminal history, it's clear that Coloradans are paying the price for policymakers' misplaced priorities. Tune in as we examine the policies, the numbers, and the real human cost of eight years of governance gone wrong.

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner didn't just die on a cruise ship — she was killed. Her death certificate now confirms “mechanical asphyxia by another person(s),” with the manner officially ruled a homicide. Tonight, I break down the timeline of exactly what happened on the Carnival Horizon, how the evidence lines up, and why investigators are closing in on one specific window of time — and one specific person. In this deep-dive monologue, we cut through the noise, the family drama, the online chaos, and the TikTok meltdowns to focus on what the evidence actually says. Anna was placed in a cabin with a 16-year-old stepsibling she reportedly feared. Hours later, she was dead — wrapped, hidden under a bed, and covered with life jackets. This isn't speculation. This isn't rumor. This is the documented reality of the case. We walk through the decisions that led up to that night, the ignored red flags, the emotional collapse of the main suspect, the forensic truth of mechanical asphyxia, and the concealment behavior that tells investigators more than any interview ever could. This is the timeline as it stands now — what we know happened inside that cabin, how investigators are reconstructing the moments leading up to Anna's death, and why this case is tighter than the public realizes. Anna fought for her life. The evidence shows it. And soon, the truth will too.

In this remastered episode from November 2022, we examine the constantly shifting alibi that Alex Murdaugh's defense team presented in the weeks before his murder trial. Investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ break down how Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin manipulated media coverage through strategically timed motions and carefully worded statements that technically told the truth while omitting crucial context. This episode also reveals the five key elements of a Murdaugh defense motion and shows how the defense team planted seeds of doubt through confusing exhibits and sensational headlines. Plus we reflect on what we now know after Alex's conviction, this episode serves as a masterclass in media literacy and the importance of scrutinizing sources—especially when they have a history of misleading the public.
