We left off last week with the murder of Gary Hinman. Bobby Beausoliea was the one said to have murdered Hinman and when he was arrested Charlie was not happy. Nervous in fact. Thought that bobby’s arrest may point the finger at the rest of the family, mostly himself. And Charlie had plans that didn’t include that. Still wanting to be a rockstar but likely confidence dwindling in that category after Terry mulches said "no" to him…. He was good at the power of suggestion and manipulation…he was g...
It was the summer of 1969 and just a few weeks before the infamous Manson murders of actress Sharon Tate and Leno Labianca; Manson ordered his follower Bobby Beausoleil to get drug money from their friend Gary Hinman. Hinman was a local music teacher and dealt a little drugs on the side - what started as a shakedown for money turned into 3 days of torture and a murder that would propel the Manson Family past the point of no return and into the darkest nights of the Summer of '69 See Privacy Poli...

I remember being so shocked and saddened when this family’s story hit the news several years ago and it’s one that I’ve been hesitant to tell on this podcast because it is so graphic and unimaginable. What these kids (some of them adults) went through at the hands of their parents for years … it turns my stomach and brings tears to my eyes. But their perseverance and strength is so admirable that I wanted to shine an even brighter light on their resilience. Trigger warnings ahead — this episode ...
Larry Nassar is a master at the art of deception, a man who used his brain to manipulate and con young girls, their parents, school boards, Olympic heads of the industry. He used his brain. He was smart, and he was bold often committing his life shattering crimes to people who considered him family, often right when the parents were in the room, or upstairs at their own home. What Larry Nassar succeeded at doing for decades to cover up his crimes WOULD BE A STARK DIFFERENCE , TO WHAT Larry Nassa...

We took a much needed breather from the topic of this episode. We recorded part 1 several months ago and news has continued to pour in from Kenya regarding the Shakahola massacre. If you haven’t listened to that first episode, I highly recommend doing so before jumping in here (it is episode 145 from May 7). Now that we have a bit more insight … .it seemed high-time to record this second episode. This episode will focus on the other pastor arrested for their alleged involvement in the case as we...

The death toll in the African nation seems to tick higher and higher each time I open my web browser to continue my research. I’m honestly afraid to know what the number will be by the time we record this episode Saturday evening. Dozens more bodies have been found in less than 24 hours in this bizarre starvation cult and I don’t even know where to begin as I grapple with that sheer fact alone.
