On January 16, 2014, George Fraser savagely stabbed his wife 18 times in the parking lot of her St. Catharines, Canada apartment building, murdering her in cold blood. While the story of a husband murdering his wife is all too familiar, what sets this case apart is George’s intimate and lengthy jailhouse blog called “abandoned and betrayed “ and the fact it was allowed to be published! He writes about his intimate life with his wife and victim, Judy Fraser, and what led up to him killing her... and why his daughter fears for her life if he is paroled. Let us know if you have any empathy for this psychopath after listening to this episode on ENMESHED!

BONUS: ‘Queen City Gothic’ Author, JT Townsend, Discusses the Lindbergh Kidnapping and Murder

ENMESHED

08/17/23 • 96 min

Send us a text

Join us today for a riveting discussion with the amazing three-time true crime author and our new friend, JT Townsend! In today’s interview we will talk about JT's theories and first-hand experience regarding the LINDBERGH BABY KIDNAPPING AND MURDER. This episode is a must listen!
When their first-born child was kidnapped from their home in 1932 and found murdered in the woods, Charles and Ann Lindbergh were the most famous couple in America, and the case would become the most publicized crime of the 20th century. Eventually, suspect Bruno Richard Hauptmann was convicted and executed for killing “Baby Charlie”. But this delayed justice did nothing to halt the questions and controversies that STILL surround the case and confound armchair detectives 80 years later.
Queen City Gothic author JT Townsend takes a fresh look at the Lindbergh Kidnapping. As one of the rare writers to actually tour the Lindbergh house in Hopewell NJ, he combines contemporary photographs of the crime scene with archival images from 1932 to create a unique perspective on this notorious crime. And by interweaving forensic analysis and psychological profiling, Townsend laces the evidence into a shockingly rational theory that will forever close the book on the death of the Lindbergh baby.

6 - Murder in Nashville: Stringbean and Estelle Akeman

ENMESHED

05/16/22 • 15 min

Send us a text

In 1973, country music star, Stringbean Akeman, and his wife, Estelle, lived a fairly frugal life in Ridgetop, Tennessee, just half an hour from Nashville. Scarred from the Depression, the couple didn’t use banks and instead kept their money either on them or hidden in their cabin. This was something of a well-known secret, as Stringbean would occasionally flash wads of cash around. Both of them had hidden pockets sewn into their clothes and they made a habit of keeping most of their money in those, with a little bit of money kept in easier-to-access places, like Estelle’s purse or Stringbean’s front pocket. Two cousins took advantage of this 'well-known secret', but not the lesser known secret....

2-Where Is She? The Murder of Lynnette Joy Simms (Dawson)

ENMESHED

09/04/23 • 34 min

Send us a text

Today we head to Australia for the disturbing case of Lynnette Simms Dawson. Lyn disappeared in 1982, abandoning her husband and two daughters for no apparent reason. Her case gained widespread attention due to suspicions surrounding her husband, Chris, who was a rugby league player and teacher at the time. Lyn’s disappearance was the subject of a true crime podcast called "The Teacher's Pet," which reignited interest in the case. The case highlighted issues related to domestic violence and the challenges of solving a cold case 40 years later. Lyn’s story lays bare failures in some of the institutions we’re supposed to trust most: education, law enforcement, and, in this case, marriage!

Today we are covering a popular case of enmeshment! The Hillside Strangler, or later called the Hillside Stranglers, were American serial killers who terrorized Los Angeles, California, between October 1977 and February 1978, with the nickname originating from the fact that many of the victims' bodies were discovered in the hills surrounding LA. The perpetrators were cousins, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr., who were eventually convicted of kidnapping, torturing, and murdering 10 women and girls ranging in age from 12 to 28. Join us to honor the victims of these horrific attacks.

Welcome to Season 3 of Enmeshed! We’re so grateful for everyone’s positive support and we’re looking forward to bringing you even more stories of toxic family relationships that lead to unimaginable ends! To start us off, today’s story of enmeshment is one of jealousy, delusion, and soul music. We’re talking about the Prince of Motown, Marvin Gaye, and his father, Marvin Gay Senior. I’m willing to bet that even though you know songs like “Sexual Healing” and “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”, a lot of our audience hasn’t heard this story before!
Marvin Gaye was a legendary American singer, songwriter, and record producer known for his soulful and socially conscious music. He was one of the most influential artists in the Motown era and his hits include "What's Going On," "Let's Get It On," and "Sexual Healing." Marvin Gaye's music continues to inspire and resonate with audiences around the world!🎶
