Wondery Presents This Is Actually Happening: Point Blank
This Is Actually Happening, is a podcast that brings you extraordinary true stories of life changing events, told by the people who lived them. Now, This Is Actually Happening presents: Point Blank, a five-part series shedding a light on the forgotten spree killings of Rancho Tehama. In November of 2017, a lone gunman devastated a small town in northern California, attacking 8 different locations in the span of only 25 minutes. Overshadowed by the Las Vegas shooting that dominated the headlines just weeks earlier, this small community quickly faded from view, and was left alone to pick up the pieces.The series follows five stories of people connected to the incident, from a father that drew the gunman away from the local school, to the sister of the shooter. These are riveting stories that will stick with you long after you listen, exploring the question, what happens when everything changes?Listen to Point Blank by following This Is Actually Happening wherever you get your podcasts: Wondery.fm/RCP_TIAHHey Prime Members, you can listen to This Is Actually Happening ad-free on Amazon Music.

#426: The Stalking and Murder of Podcaster Zohreh Sadeghi
Just this past Friday March 10th, Zohreh Sadeghi, 33, a tech industry podcaster and her husband, Mohammad Milad Naseri, 35, were murdered in their home in Redmond, Washington by a man who stalked Zohreh after listening to her podcast. In the past months, his behavior had become increasingly alarming, relentlessly calling her 100 times in a day, sending her an avalanche of texts, traveling from his residence in Texas to her home in Washington state, surveying her neighborhood and threatening to harm her or himself unless she entered an intimate relationship with him. Despite Zohreh contacting police and obtaining a restraining order against him, despite his increasingly threatening behavior, police were not willing or seemed able to do anything to intervene. Why? Why are victims not protected? Why are stalkers, who are not going to be stopped by a piece of paper, allowed free reign to terrorize and murder? Do you think you are being stalked? What can you do?

#425: Stolen Youth - Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence | Part 2
We continue our discussion about the amazing Hulu three part docu-series "Stolen Youth" which focuses on the victims of Larry Ray, a psychopathic manipulator who systematically tried to ruin the lives of Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Laura points out that his daughters and former wife were most likely also victimized by his coercive control. We detail the excruciating conditions that led to each victim slowly extracting themselves from Larry's grasp.

#424: Stolen Youth - Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence | Part 1
In 2010, on the small woodsy campus of Sarah Lawrence College located in Yonkers, New York, 50 year old Lawrence Ray came to “crash” with his daughter Talia in her on-campus dorm town-house that she shared with several other students, ostensibly until he found a place to live after his recent release from prison. That fateful “visit” turned into a twisted decade long odyssey of abuse and coercive control that would nearly ruin the lives of several young people including Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Using the framework of Hulu’s extraordinary docs-series “Stolen Youth” we examine who these victims were, how they were lured into Larry’s web and how he was able to torture and traumatize them for so long. It is a cautionary tale that everyone needs to learn from. This is not about a “Sarah Lawrence sex cult", (in fact Laura and Jim debate whether this is a cult at all)...this is about unmasking a master manipulator capable of fooling everyone he came into contact with…including the FBI. #StolenYouth #HerNameisTaliaRay #HerNameisIsabellaPollok #HerNameisClaudiaDrury #HisNameisDanLevin #HisNameisSantosRosario #HerNameisYalitzaRosario #HerNameisFeliciaRosario #VictimsofCoerciveControl #SarahLawrenceCollege #Mastermanipulator #CultLeader #FBI #NewScotlandYard #CriminalProfilers #RealCrimeProfile #podcast #truecrime #ExpertAnalysis*************** SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS ***************CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

Introducing COLD: The Search for Sheree
Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD: The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.

#421: Sarah Ann Masse & Rowena Chiu: Survivors of Harvey Weinstein (Part 2)
Convicted serial rapist Harvey Weinstein (HW) will be sentenced AGAIN in Los Angeles on February 23, 2023 following his conviction of rape, sexual penetration by foreign object and forcible oral copulation. He is already serving a 23-year prison sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault charges in New York in 2020. Joining us today are Sarah Ann Masse and Rowena Chiu who say they survived assaults by HW though sadly their cases were not addressed in these convictions. You will not believe it when Rowena tells us the abhorrent details of the Non Disclosure Agreement she was made to sign by HW’s lawyers in order to silence her about almost being raped. Sarah Ann tells us about the RICO action she was part of to hold his enablers accountable as they were complicit in his alleged illegal activities including rape, assault, and sex trafficking. Sarah Ann -- who stars in the movie about HW "She Said" playing journalist Emily Steel -- also started the advocacy group "Hire Survivors Hollywood" to support silence breakers who are facing backlash in the entertainment industry. Think this kind of thing only happens in Hollywood? Think again, as Laura and Jim weigh in. Please subscribe, share and leave us a 5 star review wherever you listen to your podcasts. In today’s episode we mention Stephen Mill’s must-read book “Chosen” about being sexually assaulted as a child at a Jewish summer camp.
