#4 BLM - Ms Dhu Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

This month in our Black Lives Matter series, we discuss the death of Ms Dhu. During the two day's Ms Dhu spent in police custody in Western Australia, she was dropped to the floor, lifted by her hands and feet, and another prisoner was dragged into her cell to stare at her. She went through all of this while being verbally abused and suffering from sepsis. She died of preventable causes aged just twenty-two, while a white officer stood over her saying she was "faking it". This is Ms Dhu's story.

Episode 169 - The Toolbox Killers: Lawrence Bittaker & Roy Norris Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

On Halloween night 1979, 16 year old Lynette Ledford was on her way home from a party when she vanished. The discovery of her body the next day set in motion a disturbing investigation into a pair of brutal serial killers who had raped, tortured and murdered their way across the state for months.

John E Douglas - the FBI profiler who assessed the likes of Manson, BTK, Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz and Richard Speck - said of one of this pair: “He was the most disturbing man I’ve profiled”.

Show notes

One April afternoon in 1988 a man named Chris Bryson jumped from the top floor window of 4315 Charlotte St in Kansas City, Missouri.

He was battered, bruised and completely naked - except for a dog collar and lead hanging from his neck. He had been held captive for days, tied to a bed and brutally tortured by Bob Berdella (aka The Kansas City Butcher) - and Chris was not his first victim.

In June 1999 a fire broke out at 9 Kelvin Road in Clydach, Wales.

Show notes

The US military has a rape problem; 20% of women who enlist are sexually assaulted or harrassed.

The US military also appears to have a murder problem, because a distrubing number of women who have been victims of 'command rape' are dying in mysterious circumstances.

Vanessa Guillen was a 20 year old solider stationed at Fort Hood, Texas and on 22 April 2020 she vanished. 6 weeks later her burned, dismembered and concrete encased remains were found. Vanessa, just like LaVena Johnson and so many other women in the miliatary, appears to have been planning to report a fellow solider before she was murdered...
