Bad Mumma - Episode 4: Megan Huntsman

Bad Mumma - Episode 4: Megan Huntsman

Neonaticide is the deliberate killing of a newborn within the first 24 hours of life. Almost exclusively committed by the mother, it is often linked to pregnancy denial. Megan Huntsman, a Utah mother who, over a decade, secretly gave birth to seven babies, taking the lives of six of them within minutes of their first breath. She then stored their tiny bodies in cardboard boxes in the garage like unimportant keepsakes. This is a story of hidden pregnancies, addiction, and a profound failure of maternal instinct that defies understanding. This episode covers the murder of 6 babies and will not be for everyone.

Bad Mumma - Episode 3: Kristel Candelario

In this episode, we examine the heartbreaking case of Kristel Candelario. A 32-year-old mother from Cleveland, Ohio, who chose a beach vacation in Puerto Rico over the life of her 16-month-old daughter, Jailyn. She left the toddler alone in a playpen for more than ten days with only a few bottles of milk. What followed was a slow, agonising death from starvation and dehydration. This is a story of profound neglect, selfishness, and the ultimate maternal betrayal.

Bad Mumma - Episode 2: Lori Vallow-Daybell

In this episode, we confront one of the most disturbing cases in recent true crime history: Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called "Doomsday Mom." A former beauty queen and mother of three who spiralled into apocalyptic delusions, ultimately sacrificing two of her children to satisfy twisted beliefs that they were evil zombies. This was in part fuelled by her desire to marry and start and have an untethered life with Chad Daybell, a self-appointed prophet who wrote religious doomsday books. This episode covers the murder of two children and will not be for everyone. Filicide is the murder of a child by their mother, regardless of the circumstances. It can be difficult to understand, but it is important to talk about in the context of dark mothers.   Watch on YouTube or listen on your favourite podcast app. Support this podcast: Buy Me a coffee - buymeacoffee.com/drfionagirkin     Website – www.drfionagirkin.com [http://www.drfionagirkin.com/] Email – info@drfionagirkin.com [info@drfionagirkin.com] Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drfionagirkin/ [https://www.instagram.com/drfionagirkin/] YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DrFionaGirkin [https://www.youtube.com/@DrFionaGirkin] X - https://x.com/drfionagirkin [https://x.com/drfionagirkin] #FemalePsychopath #DarkTetrad #TrueCrime #FemaleManipulators #Womenwho kill #CoerciveControl #BadMumma #ToxicWomen #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologyOfEvil

Bad Mumma - Episode 1: Ruby Frankie

From YouTube momfluencer to convicted child abuser — the shocking downfall of Ruby Franke. In this Podcast episode, we dive deep into the disturbing case of Ruby Franke, the Utah mother of six who built a massive following on her channel "8 Passengers" by promoting strict parenting and "tough love." What viewers saw as wholesome family content slowly revealed itself as something far darker, with escalating punishments that raised serious red flags. I break down how Ruby’s behaviour aligns with the Dark Tetrad — narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism — and how her partnership with disgraced life coach Jodi Hildebrandt turned into a dangerous cult-like dynamic. This is not just a story of bad parenting; it’s a chilling example of how power, delusion, and influence can destroy innocent lives.
