#487: The Exploitation of Natalia Grace Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

From the very start of her life, Natalia Grace has been passed around like a human football and exploited. From the moment of her birth in Ukraine when doctors encouraged her mother Anna Volodymyrivna Gava to give her baby up due to her diagnosis of dwarfism, Natalia has been denied a stable, loving home and instead been placed with people who had no business caring for her and had no capacity for loving her. Today we examine Natalia’s complex and convoluted case, made only more confusing by the docu-series “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace”. We examine the many narrators in this story including Michael Barnett who along with his wife Kristine adopted Natalia, appeared to abuse her both physically and mentally, coercively controlled her and then bizarrely sought to prove Natalia was not a child, but an adult woman pretending to be a child, legally "re-aging" her. Jim and Laura analyze the evidence and try to discern who is telling the truth and what actually happened. Can there be any excuse for traumatizing and abandoning a dependent person with a severe disability (be they a child or an adult) to fend for themselves with no means of care? Join us for this discussion.

#486: BONUS: Colonial Parkway Murders News Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

We have a huge update on the killer just identified as responsible for at least two of the serial killings in the Colonial Parkway murders which occurred in the late 1980s in Virginia. Joining us to discuss the identification of fisherman Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. as the murderer of 20-year-old David Knobling and 14-year-old Robin Edwards are our good friends from Mind Over Murder podcast, Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley. Bill Thomas, whose sister Cathy Thomas’ murder is considered part of the Colonial Parkway killings, has a lot to share about this suspect as well as how the FBI has framed his involvement in other murders. Bill has been dedicated to finding his sister’s killer for over 30 years. Police have confirmed they believe Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. to also be responsible for the 1989 rape and murder of Teresa Lynn Spaw Howell, 29. Will he be linked to more? Laura and Jim share their analyses & thoughts regarding this serial killer and the types of offenses he may well have committed. We also discuss Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. being a prime suspect in the Cassandra Hailey & Keith Call murders.

Many family members of these victims are still desperately waiting to hear if Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. is connected to their loved ones’ cases, so any help the public can provide is very important. Please listen closely to the descriptions that Bill gives of Alan Wade Wilmer Sr., his vehicle and boat.

#485: Amanda Knox Slander Trial in Italy | Part 2 Jan 13, 2024

Show notes

We continue our discussion of Amanda Knox’ upcoming retrial in Italy for slander against her former boss, Le Chic Bar owner Patrick Lumumba. When the police interrogated Amanda they told her to sign two police written statements, just hours apart. Amanda has always maintained she was not allowed an interpreter or to speak to a lawyer during that interrogation and that she was pressured to place Patrick Lumumba at the scene of the crime. There was a third statement Amanda wrote on her own, shortly after signing the previous two police-written statements, trying to explain her state of mind and her knowledge of the facts of the night Meredith was murdered. In this episode you will hear Amanda reading this third statement and Jim & Laura’s illuminating analyses of it. Listen and let us know your thoughts

#484: Amanda Knox Returns to Court in Italy Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

Amanda Knox is headed back to stand trial again in Italy. But this time not for the murder of her former college roommate Meredith Kercher, who she was wrongfully convicted of killing in 2009 and later acquitted in 2015. Now, Knox is facing a re-trial for slander against Patrick Lumumba, a local bar owner in Perugia who she worked for at the time of the murder. Italian police say Knox named him as the prime suspect back when she was in police custody in 2007. Knox has always claimed it was the police themselves who mentioned Lumumba as involved in the murder and it was they who deliberately misinterpreted her text messages with him. Join us as we unravel this complicated aspect of the investigation and explain why Amanda is glad to be going back to Italy to finally clear her name.

You can listen to Amanda explain the twists and turns of this new development on her excellent podcast "Labyrinths" Episode 79:

#483: Rudy Guede's Ex Girlfriend Speaks Out Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Happy 2024. In our first episode of the year, we focus on the 23 year old Italian female victim who has come forward with allegations of rape and domestic abuse against convicted murderer Rudy Guede. Laura gives us an update on how this young woman has described her relationship with Guede and the red flag behavior that he displayed. Does the possibility that the man who raped and murdered Meredith Kercher, who was released before he completed his sentence, and who has never taken responsibility for his crime, now may have harmed another woman surprise us? Tune in and find out.

You can also go back and listen to our 2016 coverage (9 episodes) of the entire Meredith Kercher murder case including our analysis of the accusations against Amanda Knox. We forensically deconstruct every aspect of the crime scene, the victimology, the behavior of the suspects, the police investigation and the trials. Let us know what you think.

#482: Meredith Kercher's murderer, Rudy Guede, Faces New Allegations of Rape and Assault | Part 2 Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

We continue our discussion of Meredith Kercher's rape & murder by Rudy Guede, his recent parole and subsequent new allegations of rape and assault against him by an ex partner.

Laura and Jim zero in on the errors, omissions and outright fabrications by Italian authorities who handled Meredith's case so badly, allowing Guede to get a fast-tracked trial and a reduced sentence (from 30 years to 16 years which was further whittled down to 13 years for good behavior). Laura updates us on other cases of violence against women in Italy including the horrific & brutal murder of Giulia Cecchettin by Filippo Turetta which sparked an Italian reckoning over femicide.

#481: Meredith Kercher's murderer, Rudy Guede, Faces New Allegations of Rape and Assault | Part 1 Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

In 2007, British college student Meredith Kercher was raped and brutally murdered (stabbed 47 times) by Rudy Guede in Perugia, Italy where she was studying on an exchange program. Though this case made international headlines, very few people recognize the name of the victim and even fewer know the name of her killer. Rudy Guede who received a shockingly reduced sentence for this horrific crime, was allowed lenient furloughs during his incarceration, and was paroled three years ago after only serving thirteen years. Recently there are new allegations of rape and assault against him made by his 23 year old girlfriend. While the case is under investigation, Guede is fettered only by a restraining order and not under house arrest nor any other monitoring despite his violent history. Why has he time after time been given so many indulgences?

While many may not recall Meredith Kercher’s name nor Rudy Guede’s there is one name everyone recognizes for all the wrong reasons in connection with this case and that name is Amanda Knox.

Amanda, who happened to be one of Meredith’s roommates at the time of her death, was wrongfully convicted of her killing. Though eventually exonerated after serving four years in an Italian prison, the white hot spotlight of attention both from the Italian police, the media and the public have followed Amanda since her release. Amanda has always worried that Guede (who maintains he is innocent) would hurt another woman once he finished out his sentence. Has her prediction come true? Join us for this discussion. You can also go back and listen to our previous episodes in 2016 which intensely analyzed Meredith’s murder and the botched investigation by Italian authorities.

Show notes

We continue discussing the upcoming parole of Oscar Pistorius who murdered Reeva Steenkamp in 2013 at his home in Pretoria, South Africa. Laura reads from some of their text messages leading up to the murder that expose the coercively controlling and abusive nature of their intimate relationship.
