Gloria Ramirez: The Toxic Lady - Medical Malady or Mass Hysteria?

By popular listener suggestion, this week, Drewby and Yergy revisit the tragic case of Junko Furuta. She would have turned 50 years old this year. If you see something, say something. Like the cases of Sylvia Likens, Shanda Sharer, Suzanne Capper, and Kitty Genovese, we need to end bystander apathy.

One of Hong Kong's very few murder cases that gained national attention took place between two American expatriates, one of those being a Merrill Lynch investment banker (Robert Peter Kissel), a bored housewife, and an uncommon instrument to commit the murder.

Lam Kor-wan, Hong Kong's first known serial killer, worked as a taxi driver, which conveniently allowed him to pick up female passengers, strangle them with electrical wire, take them to his family home, and dismember them. Lam's English moniker, "The Jars Murderer", was coined after the police revealed that he had kept sexual organs in Tupperware locked away in a metal ammunition container under his bed.  A very special thank you to Levi for supporting our show as our highest tier patron!

Michael Alig was an American club promoter and convicted felon. He was the self proclaimed "King of the Club Kids," a group of young New York City clubgoers who became a cultural phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s through their flamboyant costumes and their excessive use of party drugs. In March 1996, Alig and his roommate, Robert D. "Freeze" Riggs, killed fellow Club Kid Andre "Angel" Melendez in a confrontation over amongst other things, a delinquent drug debt. The pair then dismembered the body and disposed of Melendez's remains in the Hudson River, where they were later discovered by children playing on a beach in Staten Island.  A very special thank you to Levi for supporting our show as our highest tier patron!

Lisa Montgomery took the life of Bobbie Jo Stinnett a 23-year-old mother in what seemed like an absolutely random and senseless act. She received the death penalty in October 26th, 2007, and a judge upheld the jury recommendation on April 4, 2008. She is set to be put to death on January 12th, 2021, making her the first woman to receive this on the federal level since 1953. So does Lisa Montgomery deserve the death penalty or should she be commuted to life without parole? Let us know what you think in the comment sections.
