The Lost Children of the Armero Disaster Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

Natural disasters are always horrible but what is even worse is when opportunistic predators slither out into the open, looking to take from those who are already suffering. In Armero, Columbia tragedy in the form of a volcanic eruption, demolished the sleeping town. In the aftermath of the destruction, volunteers descended hoping to help in whatever way they could. Families tried to find their loved ones, children hoped to find their parents, but over time stories began to surface which led many people to believe that several missing children had been taken, not lost. Covering the death of Omyra Sanchez and missing Sergio Melandro Lopez.

Show notes

Genevieve Lewis and Steven Cornish were brutally murdered while walking on a beautiful beach on the island of St. Thomas. The murder by machete was brutal, gory and witnessed by many. Daniel St. Clair's defense was, of course, insanity. The prosecution disagreed stating that his belief in voodoo steered his choices that fateful day. It's a classic case of Voodoo Prosecution VS. The Insanity Defense.

My Daughters Killer, The Murder of Kalinka Bamberski Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

72 year old Andre Bamberski seemed like an unlikely kidnapper. He was a mild mannered but tenacious accountant. The victim was a 74 year old physician and step father to Andre's children. These two men, who in many ways led parallel lives, also had one big difference between them. One was a serial rapist and murderer, the other a devoted father who wanted justice for his daughter and worked for 30 years towards that goal.
