Best Friends Amanda and Courtney deep dive into true crime cases with an empathetic standpoint. They focus awareness mainly on lesser known crimes and crimes against those deemed extra vulnerable. Occasionally, the hosts will cover more well known cases due to relevance or a particularly fascinating element. The bees (the honeybee) is seen as synonymous with victims and survivors. We must always protect the bees. We must always let their voices be heard. We must not stifle the buzz of the bees, so bee vigilant, for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive. Welcome to A Nefarious Nightmare.

A Nefarious Nightmare

This week, we briefly discuss narcissism, listen to a clip of a 40 minute phone call with the offender, and then we listen to Grace’s story.

For part 5, we listen to a reenactment of a text between a sting and Adrian, and then we dive into Haley’s recollection of the events that took place - it was shocking to find out that she was also one of his victims, and it’s very telling of how many more women are coming forward.

S2E10 - Minding the Beehive Part 3 - Kitty

We are back (we are never gone for too long) and better than ever! Amanda deep dove into a case that was actually surprisingly interesting! Every time we had seen the name Robert Durst we kinda would skip over it because there is nothing more boring than some rich entitled old jackass. But the weird thing? He’s evil. He’s pure evil and he was able to skate past prison time for murder - until one really dumb mistake on his part finally landed him a murder conviction. Don’t forget that next week we start our deepest dive yet - mark your calendars because May 10 will be a big nefarious day.

S2 E14 - Minding the Beehive Part 7 - Healing

Part 6 is lengthy this time around, but so worth it. We start with the full phone call that we’ve talked about throughout the series. Then, Courtney and Elyse (from the podcast True Crime Cat Lawyer) recap the series and discuss the phone call further. You don’t want to miss out because there’s plenty of tips that a victim would need should they take something like this to court, and reasons why the phone call itself is telling.

Content/Trigger warning: murder of a child, mentions of sexual assault or molestation, mention of abuse.This episode is a revisit of our original episode - A Facetted Foreboding.On Good Friday, 1988, not long after her 8th birthday, a sweet, precocious little girl went missing. Her family recalls that this just wasn’t like her, to leave and stay gone without calling or talking to family first.Meanwhile, a monster was callously and quietly existing in a neighborhood that was trusting and safe, terrorizing the family with notes handwritten in crayon. This case was known by many as “the girl who was almost forgotten” as it took 30 years for this cold case to be solved.SOURCES -<a href="https://allthatsinteresting.com/april-tinsley">https://allthatsinteresting.com/april-tinsley</a><a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/16/us/cold-case-april-tinsley-dna-trnd/index.html">https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/16/us/cold-case-april-tinsley-dna-trnd/index.html</a><a href="https://wpta21.com/2018/07/16/digging-deeper-brother-of-april-tinsley-murder-suspect-says-my-brother-died-yesterday-2/">https://wpta21.com/2018/07/16/digging-deeper-brother-of-april-tinsley-murder-suspect-says-my-brother-died-yesterday-2/</a><a href="https://wpta21.com/2018/12/21/man-who-pleaded-guilty-to-30-year-old-cold-case-to-be-sentenced-friday/">https://wpta21.com/2018/12/21/man-who-pleaded-guilty-to-30-year-old-cold-case-to-be-sentenced-friday/</a><a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wane.com/news/local-news/tinsley-detectives-reveal-new-details-about-case-suspect/amp/">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wane.com/news/local-news/tinsley-detectives-reveal-new-details-about-case-suspect/amp/</a><a href="https://www.truecrimeedition.com/post/april-tinsley">https://www.truecrimeedition.com/post/april-tinsley</a><a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6520983/amp/April-Tinsleys-family-gets-closure-man-59-sentenced-80-years-prison-30-YEARS.html">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6520983/amp/April-Tinsleys-family-gets-closure-man-59-sentenced-80-years-prison-30-YEARS.html</a><a href="https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-john-d-miller-now/">https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-john-d-miller-now/</a><a href="https://fortwaynesnbc.com/amp/brother-says-april-tinsley-murder-suspect-is-dead-to-him">https://fortwaynesnbc.com/amp/brother-says-april-tinsley-murder-suspect-is-dead-to-him</a> OUR LINKS -<a href="http://linktr.ee/Jason.Vukovich">linktr.ee/Jason.Vukovich</a>You can find a list of our links at<a href="http://linktr.ee/anefariousnightmarepodcast">linktr.ee/anefariousnightmarepodcast</a>intro/outro by Octoberpod.
