Investigators initially believed a single serial killer was responsible, but over time the case became far more complicated.The Great Basin Murders remain one of the most chilling unsolved serial killer mysteries in American true crime history. This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, sexual assault and trauma that some listeners may find distressing.

We just bumped up our podcast library overnight!  Today's episode is a summary, about the 11 location-specific episodes we added into the My Life As A Landlord Library, which are LIVE NOW.  The summary today features US States of:  Delaware, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Oregon, Georgia, Indiana, Utah and Maryland; 2 Canadian Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and Australian State of Tasmania  For each of these locations, there is an entire podcast dedicated to each State or Province.  In each one we explore the overview of the housing guiding document for each location, answering the same four questions:  1) What are the basics of the State or Province or Territories' Tenancy or Housing Document, 2) What are the nuances of this location – what is different that stands out?, 3) Some guidance about abandoned items left behind by a tenant in a rental in each State or Province, and 4) Where to get help in your local area in that State or Province.  As I answer these questions, you'll see me screenshare all kinds of documents specific to that location, as well as check off items on my bingo card to see what each location has, what they don't, and what is different.  Today's episode is NOT all inclusive for any of these locations, mind you – you must research further in your specific area including your County, Regional District, Parish, City or any other Governing Body that involves your rental location, but today's summary episode will get you started!

In this episode, Nicnac talks about and reads some of their recent writing. This includes a letter to the State Governors, the Prime Minister of Canada, and some other writings.Should you want to reuse these letters, please feel free to do so. They are included belowRaindrop Rhapsody by Option 42. Used with the artist's permission.The Fools Guide By ⁠Antony Rotunno.⁠ Used with the artist's permission.  Dear Governors,I am writing to express my fears about the Federal Government's poor choices and their devastating effects on our States.The Trump Administration has repeatedly violated the Federal Constitution, ignored judicial rulings, and Congress.  The Trump Administration has also systematically attacked the fragile social safety net that I and others like me rely on for survival. I have no faith that this approach will change. Nor do I have any faith that Congress will impeach and imprison any member of this horrific administration. Finally, I have no faith that Congress will reverse the drastic policies put in place by the barbaric Trump AdministrationThis being the case, I think it's long past time for The States to give the Federal Government an ultimatum; Either give us the funds and services we are entitled to, or we are leaving the union!This may seem extreme and foolhardy, but I see no other option. Obviously, our States can't meet the needs of residents on their own. But maybe if we worked with Canada, other states, and any other interested parties, there may be hope.No matter what you decide, please remember and consider the many poor, disabled transgender and otherwise vulnerable people that live in our States. As a part of this vulnerable population, I am asking for your protection. We are under direct threat from the Federal government. We need housing, medical care, mental health services, and in some cases, much more. We need these vital services now!It is your duty to protect all residents of your state. Please seriously consider this proposal.Sincerely,Nicnac MarshDear Prime Minister Carney,I am a disabled, neurodivergent, and transgender person living in the USA.Although I am a citizen of the United States, I feel unsafe and scared by the rapidly unraveling state of my country. In a last-ditch effort to turn things around, I've sent messages to every State Governor I thought might be open to the idea, requesting that they issue an ultimatum to the US Federal Government along the lines of "Either give us the funds and services we are entitled to, or we are leaving the union!"I sincerely doubt this will be effective, but it seemed like a good step given the Trump Administration's inhuman,  unconstitutional conduct and policy. The US Congress does nothing to effectively combat or control this crisis. The lower courts get ignored, and the Supreme Court is under the Trump Administration's control.So, I feel compelled to seek assistance of any kind from Canada.Please, hear this request and consider it. All across the US, vulnerable people like myself are living in terror. We fear law enforcement breaking down our doors. We fear the lack of due process. We fear dying in a concentration camp or a mental institution. We fear dying in the streets because the Federal Government is too callous to properly house, feed, or provide medical services to us. We fear speaking our minds. We fear being targeted because we are different and vulnerable.Please help us! Do whatever you can. Open your borders to more US refugees. Engage in more diplomacy that helps end Trump's reign of terror. Work with your allies to liberate us.  Help support and protect former US States if they seek independence.Canada seems to be the new leader of the free world. Please step up to help! Take the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Lift whatever you've got by your borders.Thanks for your time and service. May the free world survive this.Sincerely,Nicnac Marsh
