Is this Real Life???

EP 53

Jenn and Sam seem to ask this question A LOT while researching, recording, etc. We are sure some of you are asking the same thing while you listen. So we decided to find some brain bending stories to give you a run for your money… You’re welcome!

First we’re back in Salem BUT we aren’t talking about the witch trials - I know you’re shocked (we were too)! Anyway the murder of the century took place in 1830 when Captain Joseph White was found dead in his bed. The “who dun it” that ensued inspired Nathaniel Hawthorn, Edgar Allen Poe, and the Parker Brothers (what a combo).

Next, talk about a victim blame, Denise Huskins was taken from her home in the middle of the night while her boyfriend was left sedated and threatened into silence. Although Denise was released alive, authorities didn’t celebrate. Instead they pointed to the plot of the national bestseller “Gone Girl” and accused the victim of setting everything up herself and abusing emergency resources! BUT the villain / hero wannabe tried to set the story straight… a true WTF moment!

Hope you can follow the intrigue and drama without needing Advil.
