Episode 394 - The Asunta Case: Adopted and Betrayed

On 4 June 2008, 30 year old Mormon businessman Travis Alexander was found dead in his shower. He’d been shot in the head, stabbed 27 times and his throat had been slit from ear to ear. The only person any of his friends could think that would want to hurt him was his ex-girlfriend Jodi Arias. She maintained her innocence, but the murder trial that followed was filled with scandals, secrets and sordid details.   Vote: www.britishpodcastawards.com/vote Merch: www.redhandedshop.com Sources: YouTube Dr Grande on Jodi Arias: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wKVy8z5rQs&t=653s https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/controversial-jodi-arias-prosecutor-juan-martinez-fired-amid-ethics-probe/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jodi-arias-conviction-ex-s-murder-upheld-arizona-appeals-court-n1168091 https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jodi-arias-retrial-updates_n_6032282?ri18n=true https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/10049/does-a-suspects-psychological-state-after-arrest-correlate-to-guilt-or-innocenc https://abcnews.go.com/US/shocking-moments-jodi-arias-trial/story?id=19135206 https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3k94wj/psychology-of-stalking-treatment   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-eYbvWOoTo https://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-trial-timeline-events-arizona-murder-case/story?id=18123295 https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2015/03/03/jodi-arias-trial-timeline/24326127/ https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/news/a47623/jodi-arias-now/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-denied-guilt-told-sex-photos-palm/story?id=18211547 https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2020/03/25/arizona-court-of-appeals-rules-despite-juan-martinez-behavior-jodi-arias-wont-get-new-murder-trial/2451994001/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In June 2016 the chaos of Brexit reached fever pitch in the UK. One week before the referendum vote was set to take place, politician Jo Cox was savagely shot and stabbed to death outside a public library in the middle of the day. According to eyewitnesses, the assailant screamed “Britain first” as he attacked the defenceless MP. The man was soon revealed to be Thomas Mair, a dedicated neo-Nazi whose decades-long rage had seemingly been sparked into violence by Brexit.  Listeners' Choice - vote here: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/vote  Merch Here  Sources: "The World After Cornavirus" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS8TxC3mJzk https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/nov/23/thomas-mair-slow-burning-hatred-led-to-jo-cox-murder https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/dec/06/bedsit-nazi-man-killed-jo-cox-thomas-mair https://www.ft.com/mair https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2017/june/who-supplied-the-gun https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38051593 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mystery-how-mp-jo-coxs-10586393 https://www.buzzfeed.com/patricksmith/police-dont-know-how-thomas-mair-got-the-gun-that-killed-jo https://www.isdglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Impact-of-Brexit.pdf https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2019/09/09/young-people-and-brexit-the-implications-for-the-far-right-and-scottish-independence/ https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/watch-labour-mp-confronts-dominic-cummings-in-parliament-over-boris-johnsons-disgraceful-language  https://www.stylist.co.uk/visible-women/jo-cox-foundation-feminism-great-get-together-anniversary/273334 https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/18/world/europe/jo-cox-attack.html https://www.vox.com/2016/6/20/11963894/british-mp-jo-cox-death See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On 13 January 2018, a 17 year old girl made a break for freedom from the house of horrors in which she’d been held captive. She called 911 and soon police stormed the disgusting house in Perris, California. They discovered several children chained to filthy beds in a nightmarish room where the floors were lined with faeces.  The children were the escapees’ siblings, and those responsible for the torture and imprisonment, were their very own parents.
