On Thanksgiving weekend in 2006, 24-year-old Priscilla Pimentel, affectionately known as “Peaches” by her family, never showed up for dinner. Days later, her siblings made a devastating discovery inside her Queens apartment. Priscilla was kind, funny, full of life, and part of a close-knit Puerto Rican family. She was also a queer woman living independently in New York City, chasing her dreams and always staying connected to her roots. Her brutal murder remains unsolved nearly 18 years later. In this episode, we remember Priscilla Pimentel not as a headline, but as a human being. We look at her life, the circumstances of her death, and the questions that still haunt her case.  We also zoom out to examine the long and painful history of violence against the LGBTQ+ community, from systemic failures in law enforcement to the rise of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and how it continues to manifest today. This is not just a story about loss. It’s about the urgent need for visibility, justice, and respect. Content warning: This episode includes discussion of violent crime, including anti-LGBTQ violence.

This is a replay of Enrique's story. It's been almost 5 years since the remains of Enrique Roman-Martinez washed ashore in North Carolina. Someone knows something. In May 2020, Fort Bragg Paratrooper SPC Enrique Roman-Martinez was reported missing at Cape Lookout on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Days later, his decapitated head washed onto shore. Many questions about the circumstances surrounding Enrique’s murder have gone unanswered. Why did it take 19 hours for Enrique’s fellow soldiers to make a 911 call? Why was information withheld that could have helped in the investigation? Where was the loyalty that was expected of soldiers when wearing the uniform of the United States Army? Today, Dawn is joined by a very special guest - Enrique’s sister, Griselda Martinez. Griselda is a warrior in this fight for justice.  ___________________________________ Call to Action:  If anyone has any information about the murder of Enrique Roman-Martinez, please contact Army CID special agents: 910-396-8777.

An investigator, determined to identify a Jane Doe. A young woman, determined to meet her birth mother. Their paths would cross in 2006, and a murder investigation would begin. In October 1978, 23-year-old Wilma June Nissen was found discarded on the side of a road in rural Iowa. For nearly 3 decades, she was known only as Jane Doe.  This week on Method & Madness, we sit down with Wilma’s daughter, Krissi, who has found purpose in advocating for her mother’s cold case.

On April 9, 1987, 9-month-old Jacob Landin was critically injured in his New Mexico home. He later died from blunt force trauma to the head. Despite the tragedy, Jacob’s case received no media attention at the time. Now, thanks to the tireless efforts of his mother, Brenda, and brother, Eric Carter-Landin, Jacob’s case has been reopened — but the fight for justice is far from over. Join Dawn and special guest Eric Carter-Landin as they uncover Jacob’s story: a painful reminder that sometimes the danger is closer than we think, and that true heroes can rise from unimaginable heartbreak. This is Jacob’s story. Content Warning: This episode discusses child abuse, intimate partner violence, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. Call to Action: Please help by sharing Jacob’s story and supporting the effort to seek justice. Eric is raising funds to hire a private investigator.  Donate here: GoFundMe link [https://gofund.me/74244b6d]   Resources: * National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text "START" to 88788 * National Child Abuse Hotline (Childhelp): 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) | childhelp.org [https://www.childhelp.org] * National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) | rainn.org [https://www.rainn.org]    *** Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, & produced by Dawn Cate Music by Tymur Khakimov [https://pixabay.com/users/18879564-18879564/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=2319] from Pixabay [https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=2319] *** Get in Touch!: methodandmadnesspod@gmail.com CONNECT: * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/methodandmadnesspod/] * TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@methodandmadnesspod] DIVE INTO MORE:  MethodandMadnessPodcast.com [https://www.methodandmadnesspodcast.com/] *** All sources are listed on the website, under each episode description.
