Laura interviews former LA prosecutor and legal expert Loni Coombs about her new documentary Murdered and Missing Montana. Gabby Petito’s case received a lot of media attention – and started a conversation about the fact that Native American women and girls are the most stalked, raped and murdered in America yet no-one is talking about them. Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be killed than the national average. And Indigenous girls and women aged between 10-34 years of age the third most prevalent cause of death is murder. 94% of Native America women will be raped or coerced in their lifetime. We get into how and why and we discuss three cases in particular, Selena Not Afraid, Kaysera Stops Pretty Places and Henny Scott. You can watch the show on Peacock or on demand on Oxygen. #HerNameWasSelenaNotAfraid #HerNameWasKayseraStopsPrettyPlaces #HerNameWasHennyScott #MMIM #GabbyPetito #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #Survivor #WomenMatter #Misogyny #Patriarchy #Policing #Sexism #GenderBias #MaleViolence #Indigenous #IndigenousWomen Clips provided by NBC Universal.

In this episode Laura continues her very real and authentic conversation with Maria Stubbing’s brother, Manuel Fernandez, Bengi Stubbing’s Maria’s son and Celia Peachey, Maria’s daughter.  We discuss what it took to challenge the police and the system, the inquest itself and what needs to change. We also talk about trauma recovery and post traumatic growth.  You’ll also hear from Bengi. We had another conversation following his trauma related response. He felt he needed to speak again for himself and his mum. That tells you a lot about the man he has become. Please be advised this is not an easy listen but it is an important conversation that we agreed to share.  Please support our campaign work to protect women by sharing this important episode with family, friends and colleagues and amplify our voices. Celia has been part of the successful campaign to stop abusive men going from one partner to another. Police, prison and probation services must proactively identify, assess and manage serial domestic abusers and stalkers and ensure that they are included on the same database as sex offenders. Sign the Petitionhttps://www.change.org/p/boris-johnson-prime-minister-stop-serial-perpetrators-and-stalkers-abusing-multiple-women/u/28879018Updatehttps://www.change.org/p/priti-patel-focus-on-serial-perpetrators-and-stalkers-who-abuse-multiple-women/u/30033831 Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Harassment and so-called Honour Based Abuse (DASH) Risk Identification, Assessment and Management Modelhttps://www.dashriskchecklist.co.uk/ #HerNameWasMariaStubbings #MariaStubbings #Inquest #Accountability #Trauma #TraumaRecovery #PostTraumaticGrowth #HerNameWasSabineRappold #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #Stalking #SerialPerpetrator #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #Survivor #WomenMatter #Misogyny #Patriarchy #Policing #Sexism #GenderBias #MaleViolence Cliphttps://news.sky.com/story/maria-stubbings-murder-police-face-action-10445227 Sourceshttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-49249394https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/may/21/murdered-domestic-violence-victim-inquiry-police-failingshttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-21681930 Thank you to my sponsor Spectrum Binge all of the Angela Black episodes for free on-demand on Spectrum now.
