In the world of true crime, we're often fascinated more by some cases than others. Courtney joined me to talk about one that has appalled me for a very long time...
Danny Rolling, media-nicknamed the "Gainesville Ripper" after a series of horrific crimes in August 1990, was just a bad dude. But he had some latent talents that could have pulled his entire life in a different direction.

The last time I talked about Sheila LaBarre, it was Episode 27, with the Voice of the Victim podcast. This time, it's a different style , with a lot more walruses.
Tara and Barney are so smart and so great, and I have no idea why they put up with me. Mostly sustained groveling, I think.   
From the Bloody Murder show notes: 
Diagnosed as acutely delusional and sadistic, rabbit-lovingSheila LaBarre murdered at least two of her boyfriends, Michael Deloge and Kenneth Countie, on her remote farm in Epping, New Hampshire. She said she had died of a drug overdose and was sent back to Earth as an angel with special powers here to seek vengeance on paedophiles. The problem was that her victims were not paedophiles. She would seduce slightly built, transient men, move them into her house and completely dominate their lives. Then she would torture them into confessing to being paedophiles on tape, before killing them and burning their remains.

On December 14, 2012, 20 children and 6 adults lost their lives in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, USA.
It was bad.This is not the story of the shooter, or the society, or a number of other big, bad things. This is 20-some stories of the lost, or the kids, or the small, good things.
Please note that there is NOT a disclaimer to this one, but it is the hardest episode I have created and it is even harder to listen to. Even though it's mostly happy. Even though there is no gore or threat. They deserve your time, if you can give it. And if you can't, you can't: no guilt there.

But this time, there's an added element: my 18-year-old, who has yet to indulge in illegal substances to excess -- as far as I know -- and has not yet come remotely near addiction.
As any good teenager does, she has lots of opinions and thoughts on the matter... some of which are actually pretty insightful, while others are happily clueless. And her compassion is well beyond her years.

April 17, 1975 - October 20, 1992 A life ended. Uncountable others changed. This episode has murder, obsession, borderline personality disorder, a truly screwy court case, and a reminder that knives in schools aren't all that weird in upstate New York. 
But.  
April 17, 1975 - October 20, 1992 David Scott Eccleston. Scotty, to his family, but Dave in school. He was athletic, artistic, and outgoing. He was looking forward to college, having already earned a scholarship before the first semester of high school was over. Then he was dead, and the circus that followed his murder completely overshadowed his life. He mattered, but aside from the things I know, from my friends and the grapevine that stretched the 45 minutes or so from New Berlin to my hometown, it is nearly impossible to fill out more of the blanks in his life. S
o even in this episode, his life is lost in the haze of rumor and assumption and violence. But he mattered. Please remember him.

If you haven't already checked out our shared episode on Chris' excellent show, Killer Jobs, please head over there and listen to that, first. It's not strictly necessary, in order to enjoy this one, but it will fill in a lot of blanks and maybe you'll pick up on a few more of the goofy references. Regardless, whether you wanted it or not, here you go: my concerns about sentencing and incarceration, my thoughts on what we should change first in the criminal justice system, and why this whole damn episode leaves me more optimistic than I have felt in a really long time. Because Chris and I come at this stuff from very different philosophies and perspectives, yet we're able to engage in a respectful, intelligent discourse without resorting to name-calling or insults.   Amazing.   Promos from Blood on the Rocks and Dark Histories.

A quick-and-dirty sort of episode, to give you an update on the case that we talked about on Episode 32... 
Scott Reeder from Suspect Convictions called to talk about jury selection, the experience of being a court reporter, and why paper books still matter.  
Book: https://www.amazon.com/Short-Strange-Life-Herschel-Grynszpan/dp/087140740X  

This episode is different for me, in several ways.   
For one, it has not one, but two disclaimers. The first is done by Allyson from Dumb and Busted, and she did a lovely job. The second was my own compulsion, because the episode goes into much more graphic and specific details of a serial rapist and murderer's crimes than I typically include.   
For another, about half of it is scripted, and I never script anymore. It stresses me out. But I was helped -- and this is the next big exciting difference -- by the incomparable Roseanne, from Killafornia Dreaming. She wrote the first half, and I mostly stuck to it without getting distracted or perfectionistic!   
The second half is where we go entirely off-script, and we land in places that are both familiar and completely unexpected.   Buckle in, kids. It's a wild ride.

The first part of my conversation with Scott Reeder (Suspect Convictions) remains focused and topical. The second part tends to ...stray... a bit, but maybe it needs to in order to make it clear that whenever people talk about a single case, they're actually speaking about dozens of individuals, potentially hundreds of family members, and really the entire society in which the case exists.   
They're not rabbitholes if there's something important down there somewhere...right? So, here's your chance to listen to me start off in a fairly well-behaved way and eventually practically accuse a man of murder (but not really).

I was so lucky, recently, to be able to go on a two-week adventure around the British Isles with my husband and two older kids.   I was extra-lucky to be able to stay a night in Dublin, during which Sinead, from the Mens Rea podcast, was gracious enough to show us a glimpse of the city, take us to dinner and a show, and spend a few hours with me... first recording this conversation, then hanging out at the PantiBar. 
Sinead hosts one of the first podcasts I ever listened to, and she is fully aware of just how fabulous her voice is -- almost as amazing as the rest of her.   
So sit back and relax while Sinead and I (joined by Emily!) get riled up over the pedophile priest scandals on both sides of the Atlantic, ponder the existance of giraffes, narwhals and Oprah, and banter in a wildly inappropriate manner.   
Which, if you're into that sort of thing... there is probably about half an hour of inappropriate *and* irrelevant banter that I cut out, for the sake of time, but that I can't bear to outright discard. It will be available on my Patreon feed within the next few days.

This is a hodgepodge of silliness, weirdness and outright giddiness, captured one morning midway through our family vacation. 
We talk about the ways jet lag can appear in different teenagers, why Emily is now haunted, and what we mean when we say "MURDERBIRD."   
You probably should just skip this one, it's really random and I'm still not entirely sure why I hit "record," except it was fun and we're having an amazing vacation and it's really, really important that you understand just how dangerous owls truly are.

Most of the time, we can rely on the people around us -- family, friends, coworkers -- to help remind us what "normal" mostly looks like. But what about the times when we're allowed to believe our own hype? ...especially when our hype is more than a little off-kilter from the start?

Listen in while Laura, from the Behind the Crime blog, and I try to convince you.

Podcasters are an interesting bunch, especially those in the true crime world. I think we're often seen as cynical, sarcastic, potentially intrusive, thick-skinned, addicted to tragedy porn... but the truth is, we're a creative, vulnerable, diverse, mostly well-intentioned group of people who feel just as driven to create as a painter or a sculptor.    
It's easy for me to say, but it can be even easier to believe if you hear it from more than one person, so here you go: Justin from the Obscura true crime podcast agreed to chat with me about the process behind pressing that little "publish" button. I hope you find it as interesting and enlightening and hopeful as I did.   
And never fear: we also discuss serial killers and mass shooters and generally dark subjects, as well, so you get both the darkness... and the hope.

Every once in a while, if you're very lucky, you'll form a friendship with someone who is smart and self-aware and vulnerable. And if you're not that lucky, you can at least listen in on a really fabulous conversation that unfolded between me and Kim (of People Are Wild fame). 
She talks about the process of realizing you might be an alcoholic, even if you don't drink every day, even if you're young, even if you don't think you are. 
It's pretty amazing, and I'm so grateful that she was willing to talk about it all in front of a microphone.

Who gets to decide when you have a problem? Sometimes you know, and sometimes you're clueless. Sometimes you're aware, and sometimes you're in denial.   Especially when substances, even legal and aboveboard alcohol, are involved.   
For this episode, I'm joined, once again, by Kim from People Are Wild, and if you haven't listened to her podcast yet, you're about to spend some time wondering why. I'm also joined by my son, who is not a 22-year-old binge drinker. Yet.   
Tune in VERY soon for the rest of my conversation with Kim, just one episode away.

What does it mean to waste something? You have to value it first, then discard it, I think. But who decides, and how?   
This becomes less cerebral and more real when the topic isn't a safe, high-level cerebral exercise, but instead a truly horrific and upsetting case of child abuse. We don't go into a ton of detail here, but it's enough for you to get the picture. Concepts like waste and value aren't just for the classroom.   
Thanks again to Mo from Targeted: True Crime Domestic Violence for chatting with me, and please go binge her show right now if you haven't already.

My dear friend and role model, Sharna, came on the show to show us how it should be done. Results include musings on credentials, clarifications on the differences between psychiatry and psychology, and commiseration on the misunderstandings re: therapy and assessment.  And, through it all, irreverence and recognition of the necessity of efficiency.

Some thoughts, after the apparent suicide of Kate Spade.
 
I can't do much, in a practial sense. But I can do this. Please listen.

Before I started this podcast, I would not have been able to guess that a relatively early episode would not just touch upon, but be based entirely upon the world of professional wrestling. But, well, here we are!    
I had a conversation with Ello Soul from The Parental Advisory Podcast, and it was so fun and informative and dark and twisted and all of the things. We intended to talk about Chris Benoit, but somehow Aaron Hernandez and all kinds of other stuff found their way in.   
So, enjoy! Promos from The Mariticide Podast and The Babe and the Bro.

Where is the line between hobby and craft... and obsession? I think most podcasts start out as little hobbies, and then they can grow, sometimes without us even realizing it's happening. 
Shane Waters, of the Out of the Shadows podcast, has been doing this a lot longer than I have, so I'll let him decide exactly where he falls on that spectrum. I kind of suspect that, just lately, what it all means to him might have changed, seeing as how he has found a way to pull national attention to a previously ignored SERIAL KILLER. Kind of a big deal, you know?
He might argue that he's just one piece of the puzzle, and it's true that a high school sociology class and an inspirational teacher helped aim that light that Shane first started shining. But he's one of the nicest people I have ever met, so I'm not sure he would willingly admit just how important his efforts have been.
Come for the splashy, serial killer intensity. Stay for the genuine empathy and concern. The full press conference is on YouTube, and a much fuller, more nuanced story can be heard on Out of the Shadows.

Anxiety is what happens when your nerves give the finger to your sense of logic.   
Somehow that felt profound to me, during the editing process. I don't know. I spent more time with this episode -- living it, then overthinking it, then editing, blah blah -- than any previous one. I'm losing perspective.   
But I know just how common, just how pervasive, just how absolutely miserable anxiety is, and in this episode, many of my friends, fellow podcasters and listeners chimed in to prove it. I opted not to share anyone's name, because somehow that sense of anonymity felt more profound, too. Feel free to identify yourself, if so inclined. I'm not opposed to it, I just wanted to be able to share everyone's story in the same way. (Except for the last guest. That's my husband. Isn't he a sweetheart?)   
I was heading up to face my biggest, nastiest, snarliest, scariest fear -- the dentist, because while I do take it the extra mile, I couldn't be bothered to find a unique or uncommon phobia -- and I asked people to share their anxieties, too. And almost 20 people were brave and open enough to do so. Freaking badass.   
So, settle in, and listen to what happens to create anxiety, what makes people anxious, and what we can maybe do (plus what we shouldn't bother doing) to make it better.

Courtney (Cult of Domesticity) and I talk about the documentary "Titicut Follies" by Frederick Wisemen, which I won't link here just in case the YouTube link I found goes defunct or whatever. 
Toss me a note if you have trouble finding it, though if you value your rage-control, you may want to skip it and feed off our outrage instead.   
But then, we come up with a few thoughts that help us climb out of that pit of despair. So, there is that.

This is what happens when a bunch of podcasters say, "Yeah, we really SHOULD just get together and chat about nothing for a while." And then we do so before giving ourselves time to over-plan it (OK, or, to plan it at all). And then I slap an intro on it and call it good.   
Featured podcasters: Courtney -- Cult of Domesticity Jenna -- Meet Me in the Woods Justin -- Obscura Maxwell -- Relic

She's baaaack...    Emily joined me again, this time to stay a bit less bizarre and discuss a mysterious double disappearance in the Panamanian rainforest. Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were Dutch women in their early 20s, starting an extended stay in Panama to study Spanish and do volunteer work. They left for what should have been a short walk in the woods, but never returned.    
It's a case that has captured Emily's attention, imagination, conspiracy-theory neurons, etc. So we chat about it, as well as the inevitable tangents such as how adding the word "cheese" to the end of any noun suddenly creates a really gross concept (don't bother practicing it, we demonstrate it during the episode... a lot) and the concept of really huge, scary squirrels. Emily also creates a lovely motivational quote, which will be up on my merch site soon.   
We get goofy at times, but we know that this is a real-world case and involves real-world pain. Our hearts ache for the Froon and Kremers families, the host family, and the rest of those hurt by the girls' loss.

For a better reporting of the known facts of the case, The Daily Beast has written a solid series. 

In my first episode, I was fortunate enough to share the story of a close friend, as well as that of another domestic violence survivor, in an effort to demonstrate why people might stay in a hurtful relationship and how lives can change based on one or two small decisions.  This time, I'm looking a bit more at the accumulation of experiences and culture and social expectations, and how those all build to create long-term, durable relationships that take belittlement and violence for granted. 
My guest in this episode has a long-term view and can describe the atmosphere better than I can, both at large and within the family... because she's my grandmother. 
My mother appears in Episode 8, and now you'll hear: my grandmother is pretty badass, too.

How does a psychologist cope with a Really Bad Day? Well, apparently, today, I coped by tossing together another episode, with the inadvertant help of my friend Jessa, from the Getting Off podcast. 
We talk about personality disorders and their legal implications, by way of the story of my fourth child's adoption, including a pit stop at the background and social skills of Pamela Smart... in short, stuff gets weird, but in a very empathic, girly, kickass sort of way. 
Promos from The Lady Killers and from Forgotten News. 
Music by IMUNURI, and art (as always) by UnapologeticArtist.com.  

And now we get down to it. This is what makes me happy: talking, occasionally inappropriately, about Mean People Doing Bad Things. Playing with the specificities of diagnosis. Including slang and pop culture references into a conversation that otherwise could almost pass as official. 
Thank you, again and several more times, to Lee from Murder was the Case, for giving me a chance to play. Hoping there is a next time, and the sooner the better. 
Shout-outs to Gen Why and Reveal for their different approaches to the case; this episode is already more than long enough, so knowing that there are other podcasters that have more than adequately addressed some angles lets me slide over big chunks of the narrative without worrying that important things are being left unsaid. 
Promos from People Are Wild and True Crime Island. Of course you're already listening to them both, obsessively, right?? Of course you are. 
Scans of Holmes' journal can be viewed here: http://extras.denverpost.com/trial/docs/notebook.pdf (turns out that, yes, the whole thing is online). E
xtra props to Emily for putting together scarily accurate episode art this week, despite final projects and high school graduation plans and general adultiness (she turned 18 nine days ago, yikes!). 
Remember that you can get stickers, a shout-out, eternal fabulosity, etc, if you attend IMUNURI's Boston show! (Because ohbytheway that's my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!) 
Overwhelming, general love and thanks to you all.

Nothing is sacred -- not the simplicity of a Hallmark card or the complexity of someone's Lucky Shirt for his Favorite Team -- when two scholars are allowed to ponder without careful supervision. 
This was intended to be an interview about a specific case, but we quickly realized there were several extra words we needed to get out of the way first. 
We'll be back with that actual, originally intended, case soon.
Enjoy a promo from my friends Quinn and Ember at Fiercely Altered Perspective, and, possibly even more exciting, I have new music from IMUNURI.com!! 
My favorite track is called "Nostalgia," off their brand-new album, Elephant Shaped Trees. They'll be performing in Boston on May 27... will I see you there??  

I've been meaning to ask my mom for a long time, why does she keep finding jobs that would depress the sheer hell out of me, or send me over the ever-shaky edge into homicidality: political activism, at-risk youth, geriatrics, now hospice??
What better time to ask than when she's out visiting and my microphone has this fabulous little "ON" button?Enjoy!
Promos this week from Of Myth and Mercy and The True Crime Enthusiast, plus shout-outs to Murder was the Case, Mysterious Circumstances and Wining About Crime, several wildly talented podcasters that I am almost cool enough to consider friends. ;)
Art, as always, from Emily. You ask her why.  

I really, really didn't think I would ever get this episode out to you all. Like, really. 
First of all, it's the result of a crossover with Billy & Erica, from Martinis and the Macabre, and I was so freaking fangirl-y the whole time that I wasn't sure I'd say a thing that made sense.
Then, there's the fact that I'm still crap at the whole sound editing thing, so this is the best I could do. 
THEN, while I was in the process of trying to edit it in time to coincide with their release, my brain decided to explode. No, like, literally, I started feeling really, really unwell, so I made it up two flights of stairs just in time to let my husband know that I was feeling Really Gross, and I dropped with a grand mal seizure.  
Yeah. 
So I can't re-narrate any of my stuff, because I bit my tongue bad enough that, five days later, I still don't have SSSS-sounds. Or a bunch of others.  
So. Please, please enjoy this. Please think it's interesting. Because I like it, well enough to hit publish.
And, for more of the conversation you hear here, check out Martinis & the Macabre: Episode 36 -- Richard Chasin' Walkin' Tacos.

How do we know when it's time to go to the ER?
 
Sometimes, we're bleeding heavily, or losing consciousness, or spiking a fever. Other times, it's harder to know, because the same organ that is primarily responsible for making that call is the one that is hurting the worst: your brain. 
 
Learn a little about what happens, after you get through the lead-up (see episode 5), and the crisis evaluation begins.

Lots of people know that you're supposed to go to the ER when you're experiencing a mental health crisis, but how many really know what the process is like?   
In this episode, Kim, the ER nurse of the People Are Wild podcast, joins me to talk about the first several hours of a typical (assuming there is any such thing) mental health crisis assessment in an emergency room.

You know that thing where you try to make sense of a topic, and it simply refuses to click?
I have that about certain corners of the internet, specifically the weird ones where creepypasta, ARGs and Cursed Images are formed. 
 
I also have that about teenagers.
 
So what better way to try to make sense of it all than to combine those things, by asking my 17-year-old daughter to join me and explain her mysterious online life?? I'm not sure I succeed in applying rational thought to much here, but I manage to sneak in a word about the Slenderman assault in Wisconsin, and groupthink, and even the Salem Witch Hysteria. 
 
I feel a little... mush-brained... after editing this one, but I hope it makes sense to one or two of you out there. There are bigger, more organized things are in the works, but I didn't want you to have to wait for those things.

What does it mean to actually have schizophrenia? Not just, what might it mean or what does it look like, but what does it feel like?
Enormous sloppy THANK YOU to my supporters on Patreon!! I had absolutely no expectations that anything would come of setting up a page, so I'm already blown away. Options for stickers, a master key, and other perks at the IWB Asylum available at http://www.patreon.com/IWBpodcast . 
Promos from the Blood on the Rocks and Spoop Hour podcasts. Gratitude just for listening. So much gratitude.

Sometimes, you're in your home. The doors are locked. You're careful about who you let in... and yet tragedy finds you anyway. A huge and grateful shout-out to Dick from the True Crime Brewery podcast for his patience and feedback about this case. Promos from the Mens Rea and Asian Madness podcasts... thanks for trusting me with your voices! This episode derived significant information from the 2003 book "Judgment Ridge," by Mitchell Zuckoff and Dick Lehr. I might have reached different conclusions about the boys, but I fully admire the depth of their research and thought. Other sources include the Boston Globe, the New Hampshire Union Leader and WMUR.  Thank you for listening. Please send feedback my way, through your podcatcher of choice, on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram at IWBpodcast, or by email at IWBpodcast@gmail.com.

Jim and Kit, from the Forgotten News Podcast, were gracious enough to invite me to play along, despite my utter cluelessness in the matter of contributing to compilation type shows. My segment is here, or you can go to http://podbay.fm/show/1260175711/e/1518655469 for the whole episode.
 
Enjoy!

Who escapes, and how, when the prison walls are invisible, and no physical keys exist to unlock the doors?   Domestic violence is an uncomfortable, scary topic. For my first episode, I focused on the survivor's story, because my friend was brave and generous enough to share her story.
For now, though, listen to the stories of two smart, capable women, but be warned: it's not as unfathomable to end up in this type of hell as you might imagine. 
Are you sure you want to know?   Remember... sometimes, Ignorance Was Bliss.

Coming February 2018!
