The Death of Emma Jane Walker

Today, Brittany takes us all the way to Italy as we talk about the case of the missing Emanuela Orlandi. Emanuela went missing in the early 1980’s, and has not been found or seen since. We talk about some of the popular theories and our own personal theories about what happened to Emanuela. The Orlandi family still hold out hope that they will someday find out what happened to their daughter, especially Pietro, her older brother. Join us today as we talk about this bizarre case.

In the summer of 2005, Zack Bowen and Addie Hall had chosen to stay in the city to weather out Hurricane Katrina together and thrived in the post-storm city. As life began to come back to the city, their relationship turned tumultuous. On October 17th, 2006, Zack jumped from the seventh story of the Omni Royal hotel.

This week is another rough one as Brittany takes us through the life of the infamous Pee Wee Gaskins. Once known as the "Meanest Man in America," the 5'4" man was nothing but trouble for the state of South Carolina from a young age.

In November of 1988, 17-year-old Junko Furuta was riding home from work when she was knocked off her bike. A classmate from school offered to walk her back, but she would never make it there. Little did she know this classmate hadn't been there by coincidence and planned to teach her a lesson for rejecting his advances. Considered one of the most infamous cases of juvenile delinquency in post-war Japan, the abduction, torture, and murder of the young girl shook many to their core, especially because everyone involved was under the age of 18. Join us this week as Briana walks us through the gruesome case and the aftermath.
