11/03/23 • 46 min
Who really pulled the trigger on Tupac Shakur? Today, we plunge into the murky world of Tupac's homicide and the recent revelations about his killer. We also gear up for the upcoming trial that promises to shed more light on this 25-year old mystery. But our journey does not stop there.
We flip the pages back to one of the darkest periods in human history—World War II, specifically the heinous atrocities committed by the Nazis. Our spotlight lands on Irma Grasso, notoriously known as the “beautiful beast,” whose chilling deeds still haunt memories. We excavate her life, from her upbringing and the societal influences that morphed her into a monster, to the concentration camps where she brutalized innocent lives. Her shocking crimes, the theories surrounding her behavior, and her subsequent execution, are all subjected to a rigorous discussion in our episode.
Finally, we wade into the delicate matter of preserving historical statues, particularly those of controversial figures. A case in point is Hitler's statues. Are they a crucial reminder of past atrocities, or do they glorify the villain? It's a hot debate, and we dissect it from all angles. As we wrap up, we ponder on the invaluable lessons history offers and the essential role of remembering the past in charting our future. Join us on this stirring journey from Tupac's murder trial to Irma Grasso's horrifying deeds. Brace yourself, it's going to be a riveting ride.

The boyfriend did it: Michael Hutto and Joseph Jorgenson
Imagine waking up to the chilling reality that the person most likely to harm you is someone you know, or even a family member. This week, we unravel the horrifying statistic that confirms this terrifying truth. We'll be shedding light on two recent cases, demonstrating how the familiarity of the criminal can often cloud the path to justice.
Sit back as we walk you through the life of Laura Duncan, an 18-year-old who fell in love with a much older man, Michael Hutto, co-founder of Salt Life. As the story unfolds, we explore the red flags that dotted their relationship, a chilling reminder of how respect and loyalty can be masked by love and admiration. Then, brace yourselves as we narrate the tragic tale of Mani Starren, a victim of domestic abuse, and delve into the grisly evidence that leads up to her alleged murderer, Joseph Jorgensen.
We'll also be investigating the complex web surrounding Joseph Jorgensen, Mani Starren's accused killer. From his suspicious purchases to his peculiar behavior, we piece together the clues that paint a harrowing picture. We end with a poignant discussion on societal norms that often perpetuate such cycles of abuse and the courage it takes to break free. Join us for an episode that serves as both a stark warning and a call for change in the way we perceive victims of such heinous acts.
