[Bonus] The Tale of the 20 Days Weini Mesfin Was Inexplicably Missing Jul 13, 2019

Show notes

Disneyland Employee Yeweinishet Mesfin (Weini) Went Missing For 20 Days in 2016 - Find Out What Happened To the Dedicated Employee And Friend
**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**
In 2016, Disneyland employee Yeweinishet Mesfin (Weini for short) inexplicably failed to show up one night for her shift as a maintenance employee in the "Cars Land" attraction. Twenty days later, the mystery of her disappearance would be solved, but it would become the focal point of a conversation regarding Disneyland not paying its employees livable wages. But would Weini, if she were around, want her story to be considered as a component of the agenda to push higher minimum wages? Maybe not, as her story ran much, much deeper than that. Her story was a matter of pride and dignity which her family felt was being trampled in the fight for higher wages.

#093 The Tale of the Re-Invention of Lori Ruff & Susan LeFevre May 30, 2019

Show notes

The Double Lives Of Lori Ruff And Susan LeFevre - Two Women Who Re-Invented Themselves
**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**
Formerly entitled "The Tale of the Fugitive". Today, we are going to discuss two different stories...two women, one who changed her identity to hide from her family and everyone in her previous life, and the other who was running from the law. The first story leading into the second involves the sad tale of Lori Erica Ruff...we take a look at how she managed to become a completely different person and the path her life took in the ensuing years. Next we are going to discuss our fugitive. In 1975 Susan LeFevre was busted by an undercover Michigan State Trooper selling heroin at a local pizza restaurant. She claimed that the prosecutor pressured her into pleading guilty, admit to the crimes, and she would avoid jail time and be sentenced to probation. But, when she went before the judge, he ended up sentencing her to 10 to 20 years...a sentence she says she didn't deserve. A sentence from which she would escape, with the help of her grandpa, and she would run and hide all the way to California where she began a whole new life, got married, had children...had everything you could ever want...until one day when her past caught up with her.
