In this episode we talk about 3 Jane Doe cases with some bizarre twists.  First, is the Annandale Doe who was found with a plastic bag taped over her head in Babyland - the children's section of the Pleasant Valley Memorial Park Cemetery. We agree, Babyland is a terrible name, but that's besides the point. She was found with a small Christmas tree beside her, a Minnie mouse fanny pack and a vague suicide note. Next, we talk about the Seattle Doe known as Mary Anderson. Mary booked a two night stay at the Hotel Vintage Park to commit suicide by drinking Metamucil mixed with cyanide (ew). Judging by her belongings, Mary seemed well-off and investigators believed she was educated due to the fact that she was able to get cyanide. Along with another vague suicide note (see above), a pressed maple leaf was found in a newspaper Mary had been carrying.  And lastly, we talk about the case of Jennifer Fairgate of Norway. This Doe brings us to another hotel called the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel. Somehow, Jennifer managed to book a 3 night stay without showing ID or paying upfront. After realizing Jennifer never paid for her room, a hotel employee went to speak with her only to hear a gunshot. After alerting their manager and breaking into the room, they found Jennifer dead with a bullet wound to her head. It looked like she committed suicide, but some things didn't add up. Jennifer's belongings (like a suitcase full of bullets??) and behavior leading up to her death has left people wondering if Jennifer could have been some sort of spy. A man who stayed in the room across from Jennifer did an interview and made a major red flag of a mistake leaving us to wonder if Jennifer was murdered. We also talk about how it's pretty much always a bad sign when a hotel room door is dead bolted, how all of these cases could have been solved if they happened today, and what we think may have happened to each doe.  Be sure to follow us on Instagram to let us know what you think happened to these Does!

In this episode we give you a geography lesson on Australia and 'the bush' before diving into the case of missing 70-year-old campers, Russell Hill and Carol Clay.   Senior citizens disappearing while camping in a dangerously rugged area? Seems pretty self-explanatory as to what happened. Except there is A LOT more to this story than meets the eye.   As it turns out, Russell was married to another woman and had been having an affair with Carol for years. When police reached their campsite after the two were reported missing, they found it burned to the ground. The area has been searched numerous times, but there has been no sign of the pair.    At first, many people thought they ran off and started a new life together or that they got lost in the bush and died of exposure, but police believe a third party may be involved.   Plus - stick around until the end to hear why our Facebook Page is similar to the Australian Bush (spoiler: it's because it's out of friggin CONTROL).

On April 7, 2021, 32-year-old former NFL player Phillip Adams shot and killed six people, including two young children, at a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina before killing himself. The victims of the attack were Phillip's doctor, Robert Lesslie, his wife, their two grandchildren, and two air conditioner technicians who were working at the home. A motive hasn't been confirmed, but it's been said that Dr. Lesslie had discontinued prescribing Phillip pain medication that he was prescribed after suffering multiple injuries and concussions in the NFL. Phillip's family say that his mental state had rapidly deteriorated over the last few months and believe head trauma from his football career is to blame. His brain will be tested for CTE as part of his autopsy, but the results can take a few months.  In this episode, we continue our overall discussion on CTE in regard to WWE Superstar Chris Benoit (Part 1) and Phillip Adams. **Note: There have already been a few minor updates to Phillip's case that we will talk about briefly in our next episode** Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

For the next two episodes we're going to discuss two murder-suicides where chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is considered a contributing factor due to the assailant being involved in contact sports. Over the weekend of June 22, 2007, WWE superstar Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son Daniel before using his exercise equipment to hang himself.  The media was quick to call this an episode of "roid rage," but after Chris's brain was studied, it was revealed he suffered from severe CTE due to  years of head trauma.  In this episode, we cover everything related to the Benoit double-murder-suicide. Next week we discuss the recent murder-suicide involving ex-NFL player, Phillip Adams. Should CTE be a defense for murder?  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)
