Ep 51 | The Unbelievable Story of Dawn DaLuise

Dawn DaLuise’s story is like something straight out of a Hollywood thriller — except it actually happened. In March of 2014 this infamous skincare queen would be arrested for soliciting the murder of one of her competitor's. After years of building a prestigious reputation for herself working with celebrities all over the city, her character was called into question.  As this case unraveled, we were left with more questions than answers but I imagine the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all sides to this story. So lets dive into it.  This week I am joined by the incredible hosts of Live Laugh Larceny - Trevin and Amanda.  Check them out @livelaughlarceny on all of the socials or www.livelaughlarceny.com Join me on social media @itstrulytwisted on Instagram and @trulytwisted on TikTok.  You can follow me personally @littleleesha  Follow On Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted [https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted] Todays episode is sponsored by Truly Lifestyle Brand Use code TRULYTWISTED at checkout for 15% off ALL orders. https://trulylifestylebrand.com/ [https://trulylifestylebrand.com/]

Ep 50 | The Mysterious Murder in Room 1046

On Jan. 2, 1935, a man calling himself Roland T. Owen checked into the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri. He was nicely dressed but was carrying no luggage.  Shortly after hearing a very vague yet suspicious conversation between Roland and another man, Roland would be found dead in his hotel room shortly afterward with no witness and no suspects leaving us all to wonder, what really happened in room 1046?

Ep 49 | The Story of Marsha P. Johnson

On July 6th 1992 Marsha P. Johnson was found floating facedown in the Hudson River.  Her death was quickly ruled a suicide, but she had blunt force trauma to the back of the head. Sadly as a black transgender female, her case did not get the attention it deserved from police, but she did gain recognition around the world. She was an activist, an advocate, and a self titled drag queen known for her involvement in the Stonewall Riots and so much more.  Join me on social media @itstrulytwisted on Instagram and @trulytwisted on TikTok.  You can follow me personally @littleleesha  Follow On Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted [https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted] Todays episode is sponsored by Truly Lifestyle Brand Use code TRULYTWISTED at checkout for 15% off ALL orders. https://trulylifestylebrand.com/ [https://trulylifestylebrand.com/] Resources used in todays episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots] https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/marsha-p-johnson#:~:text=1945%E2%80%931992,bag%20of%20clothes%20and%20$15 [https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/marsha-p-johnson#:~:text=1945%E2%80%931992,bag%20of%20clothes%20and%20$15]. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marsha-P-Johnson [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marsha-P-Johnson] https://www.biography.com/activists/marsha-p-johnson [https://www.biography.com/activists/marsha-p-johnson]

Ep 47 | The Unsolved Fire at the Upstairs Lounge

On Sunday June 24th 1973 The Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans was in full swing with people drinking, dancing, and laughing into the night. This was a well known gay bar in the French Quarter safe from prying eyes as it was located on the second floor.  By 8:00PM panic would set in for patrons as a fire blazed on the floor below trapping everyone in the bar upstairs. There was only one exit down a winding set of wooden stairs and it appeared that was where the fire had started. This was no accident, this was an intentional hate crime. So lets talk about it.  Join me on social media @itstrulytwisted on Instagram and @trulytwisted on TikTok.  You can follow me personally @littleleesha  Follow On Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted [https://www.youtube.com/@itstrulytwisted] Todays episode is sponsored by Truly Lifestyle Brand Use code TRULYTWISTED at checkout for 15% off ALL orders. https://trulylifestylebrand.com/ [https://trulylifestylebrand.com/] Resources used in todays episode: http://nps.gov/articles/000/podcast-129-50-years-of-remembering-the-up-stairs-lounge-fire.htm#:~:text=The%20Up%20Stairs%20Lounge%20Fire,Americans%20in%2020th%20century%20America [http://nps.gov/articles/000/podcast-129-50-years-of-remembering-the-up-stairs-lounge-fire.htm#:~:text=The%20Up%20Stairs%20Lounge%20Fire,Americans%20in%2020th%20century%20America]. http://neworleans.com/things-to-do/lgbt/history/ [http://neworleans.com/things-to-do/lgbt/history/] https://thejimani.com/the-upstairs-lounge/ [https://thejimani.com/the-upstairs-lounge/]
