160: Episode 160: The Venom of a Toad

On the day of August 23rd 2019 Michael Chad Breinholt showed up to his girlfriend’s work; although intoxicated, he also showed signs of severe mental distress.  The police were called due to a concern with Chad’s overall state and well being. Chad was taken into custody.  Despite numerous cries for help, Chad’s mental health was never assessed.  As Chad himself was an advocate for mental health and addiction treatment, his story is a prime example of a desperate need for mental health awareness and appropriate treatment.

Amy Hebert lived her life as a devout Christian woman. She had two beautiful children and worked as a teacher’s aid. On the surface it would be easy to say that Amy appeared to have a great life.  But sometimes life takes unexpected turns that we aren’t prepared for. As Amy’s marriage fell apart, she watched her husband move on with someone else. This would become an act far too difficult for Amy to bare… leading to the most heinous and unspeakable revenge.  Music by: Jonas Bjornstand Cover Art by: Charnell

A case that truly captures the effects of untreated mental illness.  We are going back to Michigan with this one. On Thanksgiving Day of 1987 Bartley James Dobben made a quick stop at the Cannon of Muskegon Foundry, the place he had worked most of his life. He wanted to show his children the inside of the building, and grab his Bible before heading to family dinner. When Bartley left the foundry just minutes later; life would be completely turned upside down. What happened in just the blink of an eye would never be forgotten by the town of Muskegon.
