Ep 206: My Sister Sarah’s Legacy: Teaching Boys to Break the Cycle of Coercive Control & Male Violence with Bernie Bernard, Part 2 Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

Laura and Bernie continue to unravel how Sarah, Bernie’s sister, was love bombed and manipulated by Ian Hope from the first direct message he sent her, leading to a pattern of abuse. On one occasion Hope assaulted Sarah with a rolling pin, hospitalizing her for four days. The night Hope murdered Sarah, the police were called but they failed to check Hope’s history or take proactive action directed at him. In fact, they didn’t even ask his name.

In this episode you’ll learn why victim blaming is pervasive and how everything in our language structure and systems is designed to edit the male abuser from the narrative. Bernie shares how he uses Sarah’s murder to educate young boys to change their behaviour early on asking questions including: What is sexual violence? What is consent? How many women have been killed by men who gave the reason it was a sex game gone wrong? How many men have been strangled to death by women in similar so-called sex games gone wrong? You will have many lightbulb moments.

Ep 205: My Sister Sarah’s Legacy: Teaching Boys to Break the Cycle of Coercive Control & Male Violence with Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard, Part 1 Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

With the deeply disturbing rising tide of misogyny, male violence targeting women and girls and femicides, it feels overwhelming and some might feel unfixable. The answer lies with men.

In this new series Laura speaks with male leaders who are taking action & doing something to stop it, starting with Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard who shares what happened to his sister Sarah Gosling.

Sarah was murdered by Ian Hope on 25 February 2012. Unbelievably, Hope blamed Sarah for her own murder and that was his defence at court. Thankfully, Hope was convicted for murder in 2012.

Join Laura and Bernie as they unravel the early warning signs of coercive control and Bernie shares how he uses this to educate boys about coercive control, male entitlement, misogyny and sexism to break the cycle. He asks questions like: What makes a man? Has anyone heard the phrase ‘feminism has gone too far’? Who believes it has? What is feminism? Are men and women equal? Who holds power and value? The answers are mind-blowing.

Ep 204: Profiling Ronald Evans: A Killer, Serial Stalker & Rapist with Rob Murphy, Part 3 Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Laura analyses Ronald Evan’s behaviour and Rob Murphy reveals something shared by Michelle Leonard, the undercover police officer who caught him and how his 2022 documentary about Ronald Evans helped catch 81-year-old Evans once more.

Police arrested Evans the day after the documentary was broadcast. As she jailed Evans for four years last November, the judge said: "The risk you pose to women is significant. The combination of your history and continuing sexual interest underlies my concern you are a risk of serious sexual harm to women."

83-year-old Evans is back before the Parole Board in October 2024. Twice a Parole Board took the decision to release Ronald Evans early. Will women be put at risk a third time?

Ep 203: Decoy: Ronald Evans – Life Should Mean Life with Rob Murphy, Part 2 Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Laura and Rob discuss the harrowing and unbelievable details of the horrific 1963 rape/murder of 21-year-old Kathleen Heathcote. Despite Ronald Evans receiving a life sentence for this offence, Evans was moved to an open prison in Bristol after 10 years and released. Evans re-married and he began targeting and raping women.

Following an undercover operation codenamed Operation Argus, he was arrested and charged with five of the sexual assaults. He received a nine-year sentence. In 2018 he was released in North London where he switched up his MO and started targeting women once more. How many chances do male rapists and murderers of women get?

Ep 199: Analyzing Walter Jackson’s Offending Behaviour and Darrell Rice’s Untimely Death with Bill Thomas, Kristin Dilley and Kathryn Miles, Part 7 Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Laura, Bill, Kristin and Kathryn break down three rapes committed by Walter Jackson. On June 5 1996, just days after Lollie Winans and Julie Williams were sexually assaulted and murdered, Jackson abducted and raped another woman at knifepoint. He was arrested by a proactive detective. However, a prosecutor declined to pursue charges. Days later he raped again. This is unfathomable as are the extraordinary circumstances of Darrel Rice’s death, the FBI’s prime suspect for Lollie and Julie’s murders for many years.

Join the conversation and the Crime Analyst Squad for extra videos relating to these updates and attend the August 14 Ringleaders Happy Hour where Kathryn will join Laura to dive deeper into the case www.patreon.con/CrimeAnalyst

Show notes

Walter ‘Leo’ Jackson attacked two women after murdering Lollie and Julie and another woman in 2011. How many other women did he attack? Why weren’t these offences linked earlier? Laura and Kathryn discuss this and Laura shares how many serial sex offenders and serial violent offenders have been identified via the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) and cold case reviews. It’s mind-blowing. And there have been other shocking developments in the case.

Ep 197: 28 Years On We Know Who Killed Lollie Winans and Julie Williams? Part 5 with Kathryn Miles Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

What does the news the case has been solved mean for Darrell Rice, the suspect the FBI arrested and charged and then dropped the charges against? Laura and Kathryn discuss this along with other potentially linked offences including Alicia Showalter Reynolds murder and ‘The Anne’s’ who were approached by two men on the trail on June 1 1996 who knew about the double murders at a time when it was only known to the rangers and some FBI agent. Is it possible that Walter “Leo” Jackson Senior was working with another man?
