Bridgewater Triangle: True Crime
Episode description
A true crime episode TWICE this week? YES.
Rachael talks about true crime in the Bridgewater Triangle in this episode. Several murders, including the well-known murder of Mary Lou Arruda, are discussed.
We also talk about (and get very angry about) the rape of Cheryl Ann Araujo, which occurred in a bar (and yes, there were multiple people in the bar who did absolutely nothing). Her case was actually one of the first to be publicly televised, and inspired the movie, The Accused, which featured Jodie Foster as Cheryl.
Lesser known and unsolved murders, assaults, and missing person cases are also discussed.
