Nature vs Narcissism — Podcasting
Nature vs Narcissism

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.

Show notes

This is our FINAL listener request episode for Season 2. After this episode, we will be changing up the format and there will be announcements in the upcoming weeks! If we've already planned episodes with you; don't fret, it will still happen...just in a different way. A way that YOU, the listeners, would like.
For this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Hawaii native and podcaster; Breaker! We will delve into the very complicated and tragic death of 23-year-old Dana Marie Ireland. Dana died shortly after midnight on Christmas morning in 1991. After shopping with her mother and her older sister, she decided to take a bike ride to a friend's house to see if he would like to join them for Christmas dinner. This was only about 8 miles away; something that she was quite used to biking. However, as the hours passed, and the friend hadn't seen her; he reached out to the family. They hadn't seen nor heard from her either. That is when all of their lives changed forever. There were so many factors that added up and created the perfect storm for Dana. A storm that would lead to her death. But who is responsible??

LR - The Mysterious Death of Kenneka Jenkins Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

This will be one of the last two Listener Request episodes of Season 2. We are changing the format of the show for Season 3 AND have completely stopped the ongoing Season 2. This was a strategic decision made based off of the listener comments and feedback. We want to make the show FOR YOU; so, we are listening to what you want!
Kenneka Jenkins was a 19-year-old who had attended a party at a Chicago hotel on a Friday evening in September of 2017. She was there with several of her friends and planned on leaving the hotel shortly before 3am. She waited by the elevator for her friends to come back with her phone and keys. However, when her friends returned...she was gone. Hours had gone by, police were notified, her mother was notified, and she still hadn't been located. You'll even hear the 911 call that her mother placed to the police. It wasn't until Sunday at around 12:48am when Kenneka Jenkins' body was discovered, frozen solid, in the hotel freezer. Her death was ruled accidental...but so many of the pieces don't fit. Join Heather and Rachel as we delve into the mysterious death of Kenneka Jenkins.

(S2) Oakland, California (Tommy Lynn Sells) Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.
This will be our FINAL episode of Season 2. We know that we haven't finished the alphabet but there are some changes coming to the format, based on what the listeners want. More to come in the following days/announcements on this.
In this episode, Heather is joined by Roseanne from the Killafornia Dreaming podcast to discuss Tommy Lynn Sells. Tommy was born in Oakland, California on June 28, 1964 and was a serial killer who was known to rape his victims. He gave himself the moniker of Coast to Coast Killer as he murdered his victims from states all over the nation. Although he only had a handful of confirmed victims, he claimed to have killed 70 people. One of the most disturbing aspects about this case, and really about Tommy himself, is that he didn't have a type as far as his victims. He killed men, women, and children.
His murders spanned from 1980 until 1999 and he was apprehended in January of 2000. He was sentenced to death on November 8, 2000 and died of lethal injection on April 3, 2014 at a Texas prison.

(S2) Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Steven Zelich) Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.
*As with pretty much ALL of our episodes, this is not suitable for children. We discuss VERY adult content throughout the episode. *
In episode 29 of season 2, Heather is joined by Dick from the Being There and Off the Cuffs Podcasts. We discuss Steven Zelich; who is a former law enforcement officer who was convicted and imprisoned for the murders of 19-year-old Jenny Gamez and 37-year-old Laura Simonson. Both of whom were found deceased and inside of suitcases on the side of the highway. Steven was given the moniker “The Suitcase Murderer”. He attempted to claim that the deaths of these two women were accidents. Accidents that occurred during consensual kinky sex. Dick sheds some light on the kink community and how Zelich’s claim really doesn’t add up.

LR - The Murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

For this listener request episode, Heather is joined by Paul from the Varmints Podcast. Paul requested this case as he lives in Bonita Springs, FL; very close to where this murder occurred.
Dr. Teresa Sievers was a very successful and well-known holistic medicine physician practicing in Bonita Springs, FL. She and her husband Mark Sievers owned and operated their own practice called Restorative Health and Healing Center. On June 28, 2015, Teresa had just returned home early from a family vacation as she had patients to see on that following Monday. No sooner than she walked into the door of her home, was she brutally murdered by not one, but two intruders. But were they there to burglarize her home and she spooked them? Or was it something more nefarious?
In this episode, you’ll learn about this horribly tragic case from someone who lives in the neighborhood. You’ll also hear all about the twists and turns that this case has. Just when you think you have a solid alibi; the police swoop in and prove you wrong.

(S2) Molalla, Oregon (Dayton Leroy Rogers: Part 2) Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.
THIS IS A GRAPHIC EPISODE; CONTAINING VERY ADULT CONTENT
Part 2 of 2
In episode 28 of Season 2, Heather is joined by listener and true crime addict; Sam Simpson. In this episode, we discuss the Molalla Forest Killer - Dayton Leroy Rogers from Molalla, Oregon. He was classified as a serial killer who was known to rape and torture his victims. Although he was only active for a short time in 1987; that we know of - he claimed the lives of 7 to 8 women between the ages of 16 and 35. To his victims; all of whom were from a vulnerable population as they were runaways, drug addicts, and sex workers - he was known as "Steve the Gambler". Bloodlust. That's what he called the actions he took when causing harm to and eventually killing his victims due to the excruciating headache pain that he experienced. He indicated that causing the blood to come out of his victims was the only way to remedy his own pain. He was sentenced to death on June 9, 1989 and re-sentenced on March 8, 2006.
