88: Jacob Landin

New Mexico ranks among the worst states in the United States for child abuse deaths, with more than three per 100,000 children. From 2001 to 2016, more than 22 children in New Mexico ranging from 5 weeks old to 11-years-old have been killed as the result of physical and sexual abuse. While these statistics are extremely alarming, critics say that the numbers are severely underestimated. Among the issues within the state’s embattled child welfare agency are staffing problems as well as increasing and overwhelming caseloads. In 1987, nine-month-old Jacob Landin tragically passed away after becoming the victim of a child abuser. Over three decades later, his family are still fighting for justice.

When firefighters responded to a blaze behind a Phoenix church in August 2009, they expected a routine call. But as the flames died down, they uncovered something far more disturbing—a discovery that would lead detectives into a gruesome and deeply unsettling murder case.SPONSORS -Nutrafol: This Mother’s Day, consider Nutrafol - the best-selling hair growth supplement.

Introducing: Suave

Introducing: Suave

The Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast returns for its second season!  Seven years after his release from prison, former juvenile lifer Luis "Suave" Gonzalez seems to be thriving. His career has taken off, he’s in a committed relationship and he’s received public recognition after telling his story on the podcast. Suave always thought once he was out of prison and found stability in his new life, he would finally feel truly free. But freedom, it turns out, is more complicated than it seems. "Suave" is a deeply intimate portrait of a man battling the lingering trauma of incarceration and his search for happiness in the outside world after a near-lifetime in prison. In this season we explore the long shadow of prison.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/morbidology--3527306/support.

The East Village in the late 1980s was a world of its own—gritty, chaotic, and teeming with eccentric characters. Among them was Daniel Rakowitz, a self-proclaimed prophet who roamed the streets with his pet rooster, spouting bizarre religious doctrines. Most dismissed him as just another neighborhood oddball. But behind his rambling sermons and vacant stare lurked something far more sinister.When his friends and acquaintances began hearing whispers of a horrific crime—one so grotesque it seemed impossible to be true—those whispers soon turned into a shocking reality.SPONSORS - FUM: Head to https://www.tryfum.com/MORBIDOLOGY  and use promo code MORBIDOLOGY   to kick your bad habit today!PuzzleYOU: With Mother’s Day around the corner, get the perfect gift with a custom jigsaw puzzle.

When emergency responders arrived at a home in Toronto on a cold November morning in 2002, they found a little boy lying lifeless on the floor. At first glance, it seemed like he had simply stopped breathing. But as investigators took a closer look, a horrifying truth emerged—one that would expose shocking failures in the child welfare system and leave the city reeling.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Start your hair growth journey with Nutrafol.

In the 1980s, Carolands Mansion sat abandoned in the hills of Hillsborough, California. Once a grand estate commissioned by the heiress to the Pullman railway fortune, it had since become a haunted house of sorts. But in 1985, something inside its decaying walls proved that monsters are all too real.SPONSORS -Nutrafol: Start your hair growth journey with Nutrafol.
