For the past three episodes we’ve been telling two stories.
The first belonged to Reagan Hancock.
A young wife. A mother to three-year-old Kynlee. Thirty-five weeks pregnant with a little girl named Braxlynn Sage. A woman whose family described as kind, funny, loyal, and the sort of person who made room for other people.

The second belonged to Taylor Parker.
A woman who spent months building a pregnancy that didn’t exist. Creating a nursery. Faking a pregnancy. Living inside a story that became larger and larger until reality could no longer keep up.


For three episodes-those stories have existed side by side. Today, they become one.

Before there was Fyre Festival there was Woodstock 99. The festival took place from July 23-25, 1999 in Rome, New York. Though it was intended to be a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival, it ended up being anything but. It turned out to be the hottest weekend of the year, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees.

The festival grounds were designed to hold 50,000 people, but over 200,000 showed up. There were long lines for water and bathrooms, and the prices for food and merchandise were sky-high. And to make matters worse, there were reports of sexual assault and harassment throughout the weekend- in this episode we examine Woodstock ‘99 what went right, what went Korn, and what went wrong.

We’re going to do our best with this one, but there is a lot to cover and a lot that is constantly changing.

There are so many people doing important work to help communities overcome this invasion on our rights, and hopefully this episode can cover some ground on pointing you in the right directions to show you where to look to stay informed.


A lot of this is very daunting, but the ways we share information with each other goes along way

Because today we are talking about ICE and the ways this is impacting our communities, as well as helping to share some resources for people to try and counter some of the brutality.


We’re going to do our best with this one, but there is a lot to cover and a lot that is constantly changing.

There are so many people doing important work to help communities overcome this invasion on our rights, and hopefully this episode can cover some ground on pointing you in the right directions to show you where to look to stay informed.


A lot of this is very daunting, but the ways we share information with each other goes along way

From Adriana Smith, kept alive against her will to serve as a human incubator under Georgia’s abortion laws, to Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were stolen, immortalized, and monetized without her knowledge or family’s consent, this episode unpacks the long, horrifying legacy of unethical medical research in America.

We’ll walk through the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the Holmesburg Prison experiments, the HIV-tainted blood scandal that infected kids like Ryan White, while the government spent more money on the Tylenol murders than AIDS research. And this isn’t ancient history, it’s happening today- not just with Adriana Smith, or Terri Schiavo as a human prop before her but with forced sterilizations, CRISPR babies, and what happens when “the greater good” doesn’t include you.
This isn’t an anti-science episode. I’m pro-science, but not when the most marganilzed among us have to die for it.

And in a world where women, people of color, and the poor are still being used, sometimes even after death- it’s more important than ever to ask:

Who gets to be a patient? And who’s just a test subject?

From Pretty Little Liars, Buffy and our favorite episodes- (the musical, the mental institution…), Dawson’s Creek and the Witch Island episode plus the story Grams told that made Daniela laugh and Robin cry, why we gave up on binging Glee, and the shows we’re currently watching now- Yellowjackets and House.

We hear from the Paradise Lost filmmakers, the families of the accused and include exercerpts from both Damien and Jason's books as well as clips from Paradise Lost and Devil's Knot as we gain a broader understanding of the work private investigators like Ron Lax and the public defenders appointed in the case did in preparation for trial.

 We end the episode with a conversation with Brooke's dad, The Honorable Judge Fisher and hear his perspective on Satanic Panic and this case.

In part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas.
We told you things the way that they seemed, now it’s time to get into things the way that they actually were.

In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it’s origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993
We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning.

We also include passages from Damien’s book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. 
We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.

There’s so much to unpack in this episode and this case!

Piers Morgan...]]>8629truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/west-memphis-murders-pt-1-stevie-michael-and-chris--68171289
On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.

What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.

In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.

In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They’d get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It’s not over.There’s new evidence. There’s new DNA. There’s a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.

In part one of this series, we’re not starting with suspects. We’re starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.
Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.

On May 5th, 1993, three second graders-...
On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.

What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.

In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.

In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They’d get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It’s not over.There’s new evidence. There’s new DNA. There’s a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.

In part one of this series, we’re not starting with suspects. We’re starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.
Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.

Maybe they didn’t go extinct.

Maybe they changed their ways just enough that we stopped noticing.

We’re not talking about Jeffrey Dahmer’s glasses or the psychology of Ed Kemper. We’re talking about the now.
Because while Netflix has made a buffet of the past’s worst men, we seem to forget:
They’re still out there.
Still watching.
Still following.
Still killing.

But now? They’ve adapted to a world with doorbell cameras, automatic license plate readers, and a public that no longer pays attention unless there’s a trailer attached.

We prefer our killers archived, not active.
Dead, not digital.
Cold case, not current.

But that’s a myth. And today, we’re breaking it wide open.

In this (release) episode we hear the true story behind the movie The Exorcist and how it shaped the way we see possession and exorcism on film.
We’ll also hear about the 67 exorcisms of Annalise Michel that led to her death and the prosecution of her parents and the priests who performed the exorcism.

Then we have Ed and Lorraine Warren and their involvement in both The Amityville Horror and The Devil Made Me Do It Case where Arne Cheyenne Johnson’s legal team tried to use demonic possession as a defense. 

Plus, the 2011 Ammons family haunting and demon house that was bought and destroyed by ghost hunter Zak Bagans.

And finally we’ll explore some scientific and medical reasons that could be behind some of the most well documented cases of demonic possession and exorcism.

And finally we’ll explore some scientific and medical reasons that could be behind some of the most well documented cases of demonic possession and exorcism.

Lisa Nowak became infamous after driving 900 miles in a space diaper to kidnap the new girlfriend of her astronaut ex lover- but the story behind the headlines is much more disturbing.

Lisa literally went to space but even before this, there were cracks. 

We look at how the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster sparked a series of events that may have drove Lisa to madness- and if nothing else exposed an institution built to ignore emotion and put spectacle over safety.

Do you remember the worst fight you had with your parents? Did they pay someone to kidnap you afterward?

Paris Hilton may have brought the troubled teen industry into the forefront of our minds but the industry itself has a long and dark history. 

In this episode we lern how these wilderness camps and nightmare boarding schools got there start from Native American Reform Schools, to institutionalization, The Boys School, a lot of cults, Elan, CEDU, the confession to the murder of Martha Moxley during scream therapy, the expansion of these schools internationally and the damage they have continued to create. This is part one of a two part series 

(Every trigger warning. Honestly this is rough. This episode contains the kidnapping of children, child abuse, s*xual abuse, systemic abuse, and the deaths of children who were taken to places that promised to make their lives better.)

In part 1 of our discourse on Nickelodeon we talk about the founding of the network in the late 1970's as commercial free kids programming to the network's acquisition by Warner which led to & the so called "Orange Years" (1983-1996) while trying to gain a broader understanding of how Nickelodeon became what it is today 

While some people seemed to always have had the best intentions, the early years of Nickelodeon set the ground work for everything that would follow. From shows like You Can't Do That on Television and the introduction of slime and competition shows like Double Dare to scripted series like Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains it All & Are You Afraid of the Dark? In the 1980's and early 90's Nickelodeon was a cornerstone for kids programming.

But how did a network which basically started as public broadcasting with the intent of making children feel seen become a safe haven for some of the most predatory people in the entertainment industry? It started with the Orange Years. 


(content warning: part 1 only covers up to 1995 so we won't be discussing Quiet on Set yet, abuse is still referenced in this episode & shows like Ren and Stimpy that are discussed in this episode will be talked about in greater detail for  part 2, Part 3 will start with the All That spin offs)

From Adriana Smith, kept alive against her will to serve as a human incubator under Georgia’s abortion laws, to Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were stolen, immortalized, and monetized without her knowledge or family’s consent, this episode unpacks the long, horrifying legacy of unethical medical research in America.

We’ll walk through the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the Holmesburg Prison experiments, the HIV-tainted blood scandal that infected kids like Ryan White, while the government spent more money on the Tylenol murders than AIDS research. And this isn’t ancient history, it’s happening today- not just with Adriana Smith, or Terri Schiavo as a human prop before her but with forced sterilizations, CRISPR babies, and what happens when “the greater good” doesn’t include you.
This isn’t an anti-science episode. I’m pro-science, but not when the most marganilzed among us have to die for it.

And in a world where women, people of color, and the poor are still being used, sometimes even after death- it’s more important than ever to ask:

Who gets to be a patient? And who’s just a test subject?

In part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas, and in part two we covered the satanic panic that led to the arrests of Jason, Damien, and Jessie. In Part three we examined the months leading up to the trials. In part four, Jessie Misskelley was found guilty of the crimes in a separate trial. In part five we heard from the prosecution but today it's all about the defense.

In part 6, Damien's defense calls witnesses to the stand (including Damien himself) while Jason's team opts to only call on one witness, a fiber specialist. 
We hear closing statements from the state and defense as well as clips from the trial, Paradise Lost & Damien's book. 

We end the episode with the verdict and what it means for Damien and Jason

In Part 4 of our West Memphis series we're breaking down the January 1994 trial of Jessie Misskelley, from opening arguments and witnesses to closing arguments and what verdict the jury reaches in this cased plus the implications it will have in the trial of Damien and Jason.

In part three of our West Memphis Murders series we focus on the time period after the arrests- June 1993 to jury selection for Jessie's trial in January of 1994.

We hear from the Paradise Lost filmmakers, the families of the accused and include exercerpts from both Damien and Jason's books as well as clips from Paradise Lost and Devil's Knot as we gain a broader understanding of the work private investigators like Ron Lax and the public defenders appointed in the case did in preparation for trial.

 We end the episode with a conversation with Brooke's dad, The Honorable Judge Fisher and hear his perspective on Satanic Panic and this case.

In part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas.
We told you things the way that they seemed, now it’s time to get into things the way that they actually were.

In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it’s origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993
We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning.

We also include passages from Damien’s book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. 
We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.

There’s so much to unpack in this episode and this case!

On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.

What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.

In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.

In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They’d get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It’s not over.There’s new evidence. There’s new DNA. There’s a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.

In part one of this series, we’re not starting with suspects. We’re starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.
Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.

Lisa Nowak became infamous after driving 900 miles in a space diaper to kidnap the new girlfriend of her astronaut ex lover- but the story behind the headlines is much more disturbing.

Lisa literally went to space but even before this, there were cracks. 

We look at how the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster sparked a series of events that may have drove Lisa to madness- and if nothing else exposed an institution built to ignore emotion and put spectacle over safety.

On June 23 1993, after enduring years of physical and emotional abuse, Lorena Bobbitt infamously cut off the p*nis of her sleeping husband, John Wayne Bobbit. The case instantly becomes content for the 24 news cycle and a joke for late night comedians but the backstory is much more sinister.

 In this episode, we will discuss how Lorena was a victim of domestic abuse during a time when there were no laws and few systems in place to protect or help women stuck in dangerous relationships.

We will also examine the trials of John and Lorena, gender bias in the media and the court room, domestic violence and the difficulty of leaving abusive situations.

 Lastly, we’ll go over why this story is still important to talk about thirty years later and ask whether there are more options now than there were then.

Immortalized in the 1998 biopic Gia, Gia Carangi graced the covers of Vogue and walked the runways of Paris before falling deeper into her addiction, leaving only her photos behind.
Her rise to fame was meteoric, her fall was just as swift, receiving an HIV diagnosed when little was known about the virus, she passed away when she was only twenty six. Gia’s passing had a profound impact on the fashion world but her story became relatable for a much broader audience.
Finally, we’ll examine the legacy that Gia left behind, as a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights, body positivity and owning who you are.

Who was this cover girl on the way to redefining beauty standards, sexual identity and what it meant to be a super model?

When we last left off it was July 17th and Casey was booked into The Orange County Jail. She’d been arrested less than 24 hours after her mother Cindy had made three 911 calls, the last one frantically explaining “my granddaughter has been taken she’s been missing for a month, my daughter admitted to me she’s been missing for a month I just found my daughter But I can’t find my granddaughter. I found my daughters car today and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car….This is a three year old little girl… I need to find her,” when police arrived Casey explained to them, she had left Caylee with her longterm nanny Zanny 31 days ago at Sawgrass aparmtments, she met Zanny through co-workers and her closest friends at Universal Studios where she’d worked for four years, when the detectives went to Sawgrass Apartment unit 210 had been empty for months; when Casey led detectives to her office at Universal Studios where she worked as a party planner they hit a literal dead end and told detectives “I don’t really work here,” she’s interrogated and placed under arrest.

 She gets her one jailhouse phone call asking for her boyfriend’s number, the Anthony’s do not realize this will later be played on the news, and she aquires Jose Baez as her attorney. Jose Baez writes in his book that one of the State’s biggest mistakes was how quickly Casey was arrested, because once she was lawyered up, that was that she was not talking— but both the prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Jose Baez do offer a reason that made sense to them on the swiftness of the arrest, and that reason was a woman named Melinda Duckett.

Jose Baez writes in his book that one of the State’s biggest mistakes was how quickly Casey was arrested, because once she was lawyered up, that was that she was not talking— but both the prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Jose Baez do offer a reason that made sense to them on the swiftness of the arrest, and that reason was a woman named Melinda Duckett.

We’re doing the ultimate deep dive on Caylee Anthony & her mom Casey. Join us as we try and gain a broader understanding of how any of this happened.

This is part one of a seven part series.

The Thirty-One days are often reduced to a series of soundbites but we’re going to tell you about each day. In this episode we’ll be looking at the disappearance of Caylee Anthony starting with the events of June 16th. We’ll go over Casey’s phone and computer records as well as testimony from all her friends and family members to form a timeline of what was going on each day and try and give this timeline in the most unbiased way possible while we lay down the ground work for our other episodes. From Casey’s job at Universal Studios, her best friend and co-worker Juliet Lewis, her ex co-worker current lover and Zanny’s ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Hopkins. The timeline Casey gives Cindy. The discovery of Casey’s car abandoned in an Amscot parking lot. The smell. A computer search for full proof suffocation. The three 911 calls Cindy makes. The people Casey spent her time with from boyfriend Tony Lazzaro and what they rented at Blockbuster the night Caylee disappeared, to best friend Amy Hazinga and all those trips to Target. Fusion Ultra Lounge infamous hot body contest photos. Sawgrass Apartments and investigators desperate attempts to find Zanny the Nanny. Ending with Casey’s arrest and her first phone call home. In Parts 2 & 3 we will get to know the real Casey while we will explore the media’s influence on the case, Jose Baez and Casey’s team building their drowning defense and setting their sights on George Anthony while Jeff Ashton and the prosecution start building their case against Casey with chloroform and the car smell, Casey’s brief release from prison, Nancy Grace and the nightly news… all while examining the psychology of lying and why we are so fascinated by it. In Parts 5&6 we will focus on the trial and Part 7 will be about the aftermath and all the documentaries that followed You can find us on social media @broadsnextdoor

While some people seemed to always have had the best intentions, the early years of Nickelodeon set the ground work for everything that would follow. From shows like You Can't Do That on Television and the introduction of slime and competition shows like Double Dare to scripted series like Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains it All & Are You Afraid of the Dark? In the 1980's and early 90's Nickelodeon was a cornerstone for kids programming.

But how did a network which basically started as public broadcasting with the intent of making children feel seen become a safe haven for some of the most predatory people in the entertainment industry? It started with the Orange Years. 


(content warning: part 1 only covers up to 1995 so we won't be discussing Quiet on Set yet, abuse is still referenced in this episode & shows like Ren and Stimpy that are discussed in this episode will be talked about in greater detail for  part 2, Part 3 will start with the All That spin offs)

Then we have Ed and Lorraine Warren and their involvement in both The Amityville Horror and The Devil Made Me Do It Case where Arne Cheyenne Johnson’s legal team tried to use demonic possession as a defense for murder.

The last case we’ll look at is the 2011 Ammons family haunting and the demon house that was bought and destroyed by ghost hunter Zak Bagans.

Dorothy's beauty and charm caught the attention of Hugh Hefner, who brought her to the Playboy Mansion and named her Playmate of the Year in 1980.

It seemed like the 1980’s we’re going to be the decade of Dorothy into her success was quickly marred by her tumultuous relationship with her estranged husband, Paul Snider, who became increasingly possessive and abusive.

Despite her fear and hesitation, Dorothy found the strength to leave Snider and pursue her dreams in Hollywood. But Snider's obsession with Dorothy ultimately led him to commit a horrific act of violence.
Immortalized in the film Star 80.
Today, we not only remember Dorothy's tragic death, but also celebrate her bravery in leaving an abusive relationship and following her passions.
Join us as we try to gain a broader understanding of the murder of Dorothy Stratten, a woman whose life and death continue to captivate and inspire.

In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the Satanic Panic and it’s origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993

We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning.

We also include passages from Damien’s book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Dark Spell.

We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.

In 1994 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of the crimes.

The case gathered widespread media attention which was only amplified by the 1996 release of HBO’s Paradise Lost. For nearly two decades “The West Memphis Three,” fought for their innocence eventually entering an Alford plea that led to their release in 2011.
