Mike Met a Monster in 1981 (NS) Jan 20, 2018

Show notes

Episode 010 has been a tough one for us to get out. This is Mike's personal story of what happened to him one summer night in 1981 and how one event effected him to this day. He hopes that in the telling of his story, others will feel safe enough to share their own and unburden themseleves of a secret. Thanks to Jami from the MURDERISH podcast for this week's intro. Jami's recent episode, A Stranger in my Bedroom, helped us get over the hump to telling this story.
As well we wish to thank Jim Clemente, former prosecutor, FBI profiler and consultant on the TV show Criminal Minds as well as his podcasts, Best Case, Worst Case and Real Crime Profile, for bravely sharing his own story of sexual assault at the hands of a grown up when he was a boy.
If you or anyone you know has been the victim of a sexual assault, please seek help, call the police, talk to your doctor, trusted family members and friends.
Organizations like 1in6 are there to help male vitims of sexual assault and sexual abuse. You are not alone. Another useful link is RAINN Some links for victims of crime in Canada: https://crcvc.ca/links/

The Karissa Boudreau Murder (NS) Dec 30, 2017

Show notes

In Episode 007, we head off to Mike's hometown, Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and in particular the nieghbourhood where he grew up. Whenever Mike goes home to Bridgewater he always makes a visit to the place where Karissa Boudreau's body was found down the bank near the water just on the border between the town and Conquerall Bank in 2009. Karissa's mother, Penny Boudreau, murdered her 12-year-old daughter then hid her body and reported the youngster missing. After that Penny made seeming emotional pleas for Karissa's safe return in the media. When the truth came out the town was mortified at the cold depravity of Penny's acts, motivated, she claimed, by the desire to keep a boyfriend.
