EP196: Coffee Cup Conviction: Serial Killer John Getreu

A discarded cup of coffee is what finally brought serial killer John Getreu down. After evading justice for nearly 50 years, investigators used DNA recovered from a discarded coffee cup to expose a man who had spent decades hiding behind the image of a trusted Boy Scouts leader, mentor, husband, and neighbor. But when his DNA was compared to evidence preserved from long-forgotten crime scenes, it revealed a vicious predator linked to the murders of multiple women. In this episode, we unravel the astonishing investigation that finally caught up with John Getreu, examine the warning signs that were missed for decades, and explore how advances in DNA technology finally exposed a killer who thought he'd gotten away with murder.

EP195: Five Men, One Nightmare: The Brutal Case of Anita Cobby

Five sadistic men brutalized one innocent woman in a case so horrifying, it altered the DNA of Australia forever. In 1986, 26-year-old nurse Anita Cobby began her walk home from a train station when she was abducted by five men out for blood.  What these men did to Anita defies comprehension. The sheer brutality of the crime shocked Australia, sparked one of the nation's most infamous murder investigations, and left a scar that remains nearly four decades later. In this episode, we look beyond the headlines to honor the woman Anita was, examine the unimaginable torture she endured at the hands of a pack of violent predators, and explore why her story continues to resonate across Australia and around the world.

EP194: Women Can Be Predators, Too.

A 28-year-old female teacher. Multiple teenage boys. And a case that forces us to confront one uncomfortable question: Why is society so much slower to recognize abuse when the predator is a woman and the victim is a teenage boy? In this episode, we examine the case of Rebecca Joynes, a former teacher convicted of sexually abusing teenage students she was entrusted to protect. We break down the evidence presented in court, the grooming behaviors that allowed the abuse to continue, the lasting impact on the boys at the center of the case, and the psychological dynamics that make female sexual offending uniquely misunderstood. This episode also explores the societal double standards that can prevent male victims from being recognized, believed, and supported. Please Follow/Subscribe wherever you are listening!

EP193: The Skara Cannibal

Trigger warning: This episode discusses domestic violence, homicide and cannibalism. Please listen with caution. On November 12, 2010, Isakin Drabbad, aka The Skara Cannibal, walked into his girlfriend's bedroom carrying a knife and committed one of the most brutal homicide cases in modern Scandinavian history. After fatally slashing Helle Christensen's throat, Isakin violated her body, decapitated her, dismembered her remains, and removed portions of her flesh, which he later cooked and consumed. The cannibalism is certainly what made headlines...but it wasn't the full story.  It was merely the final, devastating expression of a mind that had been unraveling for years.

EP192: "BIG Girls Wanted" — Content House or Fetish Farm?

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the difficult topic of sexual abuse. Listener discretion advised. "Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise" has taken the internet by storm, and it's easy to see why. Beyond the allegations themselves, it forces us to confront a number of uncomfortable but important conversations.  In this episode we dive deep into Pearadise, the viral content house in Las Vegas built around "BBW" (Big Beautiful Women) that's igniting debates about body positivity, feederism, fetish culture, and online fame. Is Pearadise creating a space where plus-sized women can thrive and take control of their image, or is it blurring the line between empowerment and exploitation? From the business model and growing backlash to the lawsuit and allegations of sexual abuse, we examine every side of the Pearadise controversy. The opinions expressed in this episode are my own and are based on publicly available information, court records, interviews, and other source material available at the time of recording. Where allegations of abuse, misconduct, or criminal behavior are discussed, they are presented as allegations unless they have been proven in a court of law or otherwise established by reliable evidence. This episode is intended for commentary, analysis, and educational purposes and should not be interpreted as a definitive statement of fact regarding any disputed claim. Join my Patreon family!
