I Ate Something Bad: The Insane Story of Austin Harrouff (Part 2)

Left For Dead: Alison Botha and the Ripper Rapists (Part 3)

After 7 long months -- *it's been 84 years* -- the rollercoaster of a conclusion to the Alison Botha story is here! Strap in and check your safety bar -- because when I say rollercoaster, I MEAN rollercoaster. There are plenty of ups and downs in this final part, but I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not you think this is a "happy" ending.

Left For Dead: Alison Botha and the Ripper Rapists (Part 2)

On December 18, 1994 around 1:00am, 27 year old Alison Botha was returning to her home after spending an entire day out with friends. She pulled into a parking spot and turned off her lights and engine, happy to be home…when suddenly, somebody opened her driver side door and pressed a knife to her throat. “Move over or I’ll kill you”, the figure said – and so would begin a story of unimaginable horror. This is truly one of the most grotesque cases I’ve heard of, so tread lightly.

You Are What You Eat: The Disappearance of Dylan Redwine

On November 18, 2012, 13 year old Dylan Redwine was picked up from the Durango-La Plata County Airport by his father, whom he was visiting for Thanksgiving. Like most kids, Dylan wanted to spend as much time with his friends as possible. He had planned on spending the night at a friend’s house the day he arrived, but his father said no, wanting to spend quality time with his son. So Dylan texted his friend saying he’d be there bright and early the following morning. The morning of November 19th came and went, but Dylan never made it to his friend’s house. It would be months before any evidence of him turned up and years before anybody knew exactly what happened to him.

I Ate Something Bad: The Insane Story of Austin Harrouff (Part 2)

When we left off, Austin was in the hospital with a shocking (and seemingly random) plethora of severe injuries. In part 2 of the wild story of Man-Bear-Pig, Austin Harrouff, I dive into his psychological assessments and diagnoses, Florida's insanity laws, and scaaaaathing victim impact statements that made even me feel some type of way. We also hate harddd on Papa Man-Bear-Pig and all around piece of shit, Wade Harrouff. Enjoy! I apologize in advance for any audio abnormalities -- it's been a hell of a week (in the worst way) for recording and it may be time to seek out some new software.
