Are you still trying to make sense of the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan? You are not alone! So many of you asked Laura to deconstruct and analyse the case. In this episode, Laura goes behind the scenes of the four-part docuseries with Joey Repice. Joey was the beverage director at Pure Food and Wine for 10 years and helped set up the restaurant. Joey provides an independent lens to view Anthony Strangis and Sarma Melngailis through. It’s time to separate the fact from the fiction.

In this episode, Laura is joined by special guest Umberto Gonzalez, fanboy journalist and Heroic Hollywood founder who currently covers the superhero beat for The Wrap.  Why is Laura is profiling The Batman, you might be wondering? Having seen the movie with Umberto, it became apparent that The Batman was more of a dark and twisty psychological thriller than a superhero movie! It’s a detective story about an investigation that becomes very personal. And with The Batman in full on detective mode, and Matt Reeves disclosing that he researched profiling and serial killers in a Q&A session after the movie, Umberto asked Laura questions about the psychology and profile of The Batman and The Riddler and what Matt Reeves and Peter Craig, the co-writers, got right – and wrong – and so Laura decided to share the conversation with you lovely lot. As a 30-year Batman vet, Umberto gives Laura the scoop on what he thought about The Batman as well as the casting of Robert Pattinson into this iconic role and so much more. You won’t want to miss this. ** Spoiler alert ** We go in, so watch the movie before you listen! #TheBatman #BatmanTheMovie #Profiling #DarkKnightDetective  Cliphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqft2x_Aa4 https://news.yahoo.com/paul-dano-matt-reeves-crafted-182440647.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIdTYhj7GKwX7v6l3syPafklGDCz91_s-NhS_KtSy9K2sQHh8ie95SAUAUVduGdbMrdOHCJBCiJ9ZfZbhzpZ411L95N-wUkalZ0qrB5z31jHwr25Yh2seSRVz3t-F3EurxY3ODsZnWdnpWo5rK5Hval8uMv0AsEqIQ3KKtGg5xHG Leave a Review If you want to support my work and Crime Analyst and if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.

When 22-year-old Gabby Petito disappeared in September 2021 there was national and international media coverage, and rightly so. However, when her body was found in Wyoming it brought into sharp relief the 715 indigenous people, 466 who were women, who went missing in Wyoming a decade before Gabby who received little, if any, attention in the news or on social media. Laura wants to help change this. In this episode Laura interviews Cara Chambers, Director of the Division of Victim Services at the Office of the Attorney General of Wyoming and Dr Emily Grant Senior Research Scientist at the University of Wyoming. Both Cara and Dr Emily work on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Task Force in Wyoming. We spotlight the findings from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Wyoming State-wide report authored by Dr Emily Grant. Laura highlights a hot spot in the report which warrants further investigation, and discusses a number of cases including 23-year-old Jade Wagon who was killed on January 21 2020 one year after her sister, Jocelyn Watt and her fiancé, Rudy Perez were murdered on January 5 2019, and; 28 year old Dawn Michelle Day who was discovered floating in a Fremont County waterway in Wyoming on 21 July 2012. You won’t want to miss this important conversation. #HerNameWasJadeWagon #JadeWagon #HerNameWasJocelynWatt #JocelynWatt #HisNameWasRudyPerez #HerNameWasDawnMichelleDay #DawnMichelleDay #MurderedAndMissingWomen #MMIW #GabbyPetito #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #Survivor #WomenMatter #IndignousWomenMatter Clip https://www.somebodysdaughter.com/ References Dr Emily Grant’s Report https://wysac.uwyo.edu/wysac/reports/View/7713 National Indigenous Women’s Resource Centre https://www.niwrc.org/ https://www.newsweek.com/over-400-indigenous-women-went-missing-over-last-decade-same-state-gabby-petito-1631165 Leave a Review If you want to support my work and Crime Analyst and if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.
