Murder: Jacob Wetterling
May 31, 202400:33:44Tap to summarizeFor 27 years, the fate of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was unknown to the small-town, Minnesota community that adored him. It was with advances in DNA technology and renewed interest in the kidnapping and abduction of Jacob thanks to online sleuths that led to the long overdue closure his family deserved.
Transcribe →Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2S+ People of Canada: the Serial Murders of Gilbert Jordan
May 15, 202400:38:41Tap to summarizeOverlapping with the onset of Robert Pickton's serial murders was the death of Gilbert Jordan, the first serial killer in Canada to use alcohol as his weapon of choice. A shining star example of legal apathy with respect to predation upon missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, the story of Gilbert Jordan demonstrates to us how leniency in the Canadian criminal justice system is often a matter of life or death.

Transcribe →Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2S+ People of Canada: Sharon Frances Merasty
Mar 15, 202400:23:12Tap to summarizeIn December of 1993, Sharon Frances Merasty was found deceased nearby a water body without proper winter clothing and no indication of an intention to be outside for very long. Yet, local police ruled out foul play; her family think otherwise. Although the circumstances of her death remain inconclusive, her case reminds me a lot of a practice in the province of Saskatchewan called the Starlight Tours.
Transcribe →Suspicious Disappearance: the Sodder Children
Feb 29, 202400:57:35Tap to summarizeIn 1945, a day before Christmas, George and Jennie Sodder lost five of their ten children to a destructive house fire in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The circumstances around the fire and the resultant total lack of physical evidence of the children stumped the family and national media outlets for decades. Given the circumstantial oddities of the case, you can come to your own conclusions entirely dependent on which sources you read.

Transcribe →Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2S+ People of Canada: Inusiq Akavak
Jan 31, 202400:28:31Tap to summarizeIntimate partner violence is an epidemic, but the intersection of Indigenous identities puts women, girls, and 2S individuals increases the risk substantially. If it weren't for our knowledge about how Canadian systems seek to oppress and refuse to support Indigenous Peoples, I'm sure we'd all still be wondering how this could be.
