Bonus: The First Suspects - The Black Dahlia Files

Fame. Rejection. Revenge. One gunshot that changed art history forever. On June 3, 1968, pop art icon Andy Warhol was nearly killed when radical feminist writer Valerie Solanas walked into his Manhattan studio and opened fire. Warhol survived—but the attack left both him and the art world forever altered. What drove Solanas, the author of the SCUM Manifesto, to attempt murder? Was she a revolutionary or a deeply troubled woman seeking vengeance? And how did this moment expose the darker side of Warhol’s Factory scene? Join us as we explore the complex relationship between Solanas and Warhol, the shooting that shook the art world, and the lasting impact of this near-fatal encounter. 🎧 Listen now—because art and violence have a history. 📖 Book Recommendation: Valerie Solanas: The Defiant Life of the Woman Who Wrote SCUM (and Shot Andy Warhol)– Breanne Fahs 🔗 Support the show & get exclusive content: www.patreon.com/OnceUponaCrime 📢 Follow for more true crime: 🌐 www.truecrimepodcast.com #TrueCrimePodcast #AndyWarhol #ValerieSolanas #ArtCrime #CrimeHistory #OnceUponACrime See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A 9-year-old girl is abducted in Arlington, Texas. The community and, ultimately, the country would call for changes in the way law enforcement responds to missing and abducted children   You can find the video about Amber and her family here: WFAA Amber Hagerman Documentary Click here to find out more about the AMBER Alert System The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children can be contacted at 1-800-THE-LOST or www.missingkids.org . You can see a list of active AMBER alerts here. Tips to keep your children safe: 1) Have a code word phrase. This is a phrase that you would share with your children, especially as it relates to adults they should and can trust. They should know that if you send someone to pick them up from school or any activity, the code word will be used. Make it something funny or personal so it’s easy for the kids to remember. A child should only go with someone who tells them that phrase. 2) Teach your kids that adults don’t need help from kids. If an adult needs directions, help finding a pet or anything else, they should ask another adult, not a child. 3) Let your child know it’s OK to yell, scream, and say no to an adult if they feel uncomfortable or scared. We teach children to listen to adults and not to be disruptive, but there are times they should disobey and be loud. It’s a good idea to practice with your kids. Give them a scenario and have them practice say no firmly and loudly, screaming, and running away. 4) Be careful of sharing too much identifying information on the internet. Of course, we like to share pictures and information about the cute and fun things are children do on Facebook and other social media. But predators can get information about a child's location, routine, etc., if identifying information is shared such as school names, names of parks you frequent, even locations of meeting places like scout troop meetings, sports fields, etc. So, just keep that information to a minimum and without details. Family members and good friends already probably know it so it's not necessary to share.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
