Nature vs Narcissism

Heather Wrightwww.facebook.com
Nature vs Narcissism is a true crime/comedy podcast based in Cincinnati, Ohio where Heather and her guests discuss true crimes and the narcissists who commit them. Sometimes we have alcohol and sometimes things get weird. Relaunching on our 4th PodBirthday (Oct 22, 2021), the structure changed a lot. Every episode is different and every episode is entertaining! We will delve into whether we think nature made the criminals commit these heinous acts, or if it's simply their narcissism getting the best of them. Keep in mind, this podcast is strictly for entertainment purposes and is in no way a professional diagnosis of the subjects discussed.

0310 - Damn it, Diane!

In episode 10 of Season 3, we will discuss Diane Odell. Born on 1953; who, is responsible for the death of four babies…her own babies. Her case is referred to as “The Babies in Boxes Murder Case”. From that tag alone; I’m sure you can determine where her babies were found. But, do you know how long they were there? Diane ended up giving birth to a total of twelve babies…eight of which were given the chance to grow into functioning members of society. The four babies who weren’t so lucky were car...

Apparently, she didn’t know he planned to kill them as...

0308 - Daaaaamn Dorothea, Back at it again with the Old Men

In episode 8 of Season 3, we will discuss Dorothea Puente…meanie grannie. Born in Redlands, California in 1929; Dorothea’s childhood was way less then ideal. By the time she was 9 years old; both her mother and her father had passed away (father from tuberculosis and mother from cancer). But that wasn’t the sad part. Her mother and father were super abusive to her. Dorothea’s formative years were scathed by abuse and torture. At some point during her adolescence, she even stayed in an orphanage ...

0307 - Tillie Vanilli

In episode 7 of Season 3, we will discuss Tillie Klimek. She was a Polish-American serial killer operating in the Ukrainian village of Chicago; better known as Chicago’s Little Poland Neighborhood.

She married her first husband in 1879 and then sent her young son to an institution after her husband died. She moved on rather quickly though…running through and tossing out husbands as if they were expired produce. In the mid-1880’s, after her attempt to kill another husband went awry, she fled to Vermont a...

0304 - Big Booty Judy

In episode 4 of Season 3, we will discuss Judy Buenoano - an American serial killer. She had a very terrible upbringing...BUT as we've stated plenty of times in the past, that doesn't give you the right to kill people. She apparently didn't get the memo on this though, because Judy was executed in 1971 for the murder of her son, one of her husbands, and attempted murder of another one of her husbands. For these crimes, she received a 12-year-sentence for the attempted murder of one husband, a li...

In episode 3 of Season 3, we will discuss one of the most sensationalized criminal events in Canadian history. Evelyn Dick (aka The Torso Killer) was a stunningly beautiful woman who basically grew up in a society where her looks would get her whatever she wanted. Even in the end, there was something about her that kept her from really serving time for her crimes. At the age of 24/25, she murdered and mutilated her husband...leaving only his torso on "The Mountain" (at Niagara Falls). What inves...
