Method & Madness

In 2003, 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed was feeling trapped; between who she wanted to be and who her family expected her to be. She went missing in September of that year, and the investigation uncovered a secret world of incomprehensible abuse. Honor-based abuse stems from a perceived violation of the ‘honor’ and ‘shame’ codes of a particular society or community. If you are experiencing honor-based abuse you can safely reach out for help by contacting the UK Helpline: UK Helpline: 0800 5999 247 Helpline – Karma Nirvana In the U.S you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline via their website, a phone call, or text.

45. The Hitchhiker

70-year-old woman, mother, and grandmother Dorothy Donovan was found brutally stabbed to death in her bedroom in June of 1991. Her son Charles Holden had discovered her in the middle of the night and was immediately brought to police headquarters for questioning. Charles was the likely suspect; a man in debt who was the beneficiary of Dorothy’s life insurance policy. But Charles insisted that he was not his mother’s killer and was about to tell an implausible story of the night’s events.

47. The Murder of Betsy Faria

1 Recommendations

42-year-old Betsy Faria was vibrant, positive, and surrounded by a supportive circle of family and friends. In 2011, she was murdered in her own home, allegedly by her friend, Pam Hupp. In this episode, Dawn sits down with Betsy’s daughter Mariah Day. Mariah is speaking out about an investigation that was misguided from the start, and the irreparable damage it has caused her family. Although her stepfather Russ Faria was exonerated after being wrongfully convicted for the murder of her mother, Mariah is still facing obstacles. She wants people to know that what you hear or see in the media isn’t always the whole story. Thank you to Mariah Day for sharing your experience with me. You’re amazing. ___________________________________________________________ Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, and produced by Dawn Gandhi Sound Editing by moInspo Music by Timmoor from Pixabay REACH OUT: [email protected] FOLLOW:
