Addicted to Crime Podcast

November 10, 1995, 13 year old Bradley biked to his friend, Jeremy's house not knowing that this would be the last time his mother would ever see him. Through a tangled twists of lies and rumors, I feel like we find out a lot of parts of the story, but have yet to hear the entire truth. In this "no body" case, let's do the best we can to dissect the events that led to where we are now. Brad's family is still missing him and, as of 2022, he has not been found.

Today, I am covering the Case of Richard Ramirez and TRIGGER WARNING it’s extremely intense. Ramirez was a literal piece of human garbage and he tortured, raped and murdered whomever, whenever, and wherever he felt like. In this episode (part 1), we take a close look at his early life and the people who negatively influenced him. We see his first crimes and see his progression to murder. We talk about the victims, and their lives. They were PEOPLE. Mary was a horse lover and 2-time cancer survivor, Patty was a special ED teacher, Mabel “Ma” Bell was described as a “gutsy, independent lady,” and Maria Hernandez who had just gotten shot at RAN BACK to try and help her friend and roommate Dayle Okazaki. These are only a few of the brave souls who lives were ruined by the scumbag that is Richard Ramirez. This is part 1. Don’t forget to join us for part 2 where we FINALLY talk about his capture, arrest, and eventually his death. I’ll see you next time. Please watch out for your neighbor and stay safe.

I’ll be back next week with another exciting case. Stay safe!

Melissa Sue Platt was a bright shining soul in her family’s life. Her and her sister, Michelle, were two peas in a pod, and basically twins. Until one day, their mom tried to get ahold of Melissa, and couldn’t. Finally, Melissa’s boyfriend at the time (who had a long history of domestic abuse) cut her family off completely and unplugged the answering machine. A welfare check on Melissa, turned into a gruesome rescue when officers found her alone, bruised, bleeding with a broken jaw and unresponsive. She was naked, wrapped in a blanket and had been there between 6-11 days. The explanation? She “fell in the bathroom,” then “she fell on the porch outside.” Neither one made sense, however, no charges had ever been filed. But the tides may be turning in the family’s favor, as after over a decade of hard work and endurance, they’re finally close to getting answers and getting justice for Melissa.

(FYI Don't forget to listen to *Episode 17* on Melissa's case for the complete background before listening to this episode)

I'm very thankful to Michelle for coming on and bravely sharing her sister's story. Listeners, please considering following her social medias to stay up to date with the case & please consider giving to support the family.

Thanks for the support, and stay safe.

Karen Bodine was discovered dead alongside the road on January 22, 2007, in the morning next to a rock quarry in Rochester, Washington. It's been 15 years and the Thurston County police still haven't named a person of interest, and (what makes it more aggravating for the Bodine family) they have the DNA samples of 3 separate individuals in their possession but haven't tested it yet! Karen was an amazing daughter and mother, and her story seems to have been glossed over or downright skipped all together because of how she spent the last two days of her life, through no fault of her own. Karen deserves justice, and her daughter Karlee Bodine, joins me for an interview talking about her mother, evidence found at the scene and where she is going from here. Karlee can't be stopped, and won't stop until she finds her mother's killer(s). Join us for this interview, and please share this episode and these sights to help Karen's case get more awareness.

The people of Glasglow, Scotland in 1969 were living in fear when an unknown assailant was brutally assaulting and murdering women attending the Barrowland Ballroom. Who was this man? Why did he seem to know his way around, yet NO ONE recognizes him? In this episode, I talk extensively about the victims, the crimes, and then go into the suspects and the theories. Come on this wild ride with me as we dissect the 'Bible John' murders.
