Case 36 - Assaults of Women on Fishing Vessels

The Abyss Pod

10/19/20 • 24 min

Hey listeners! We are bringing you a bit of a different episode today. Having both worked in the field of marine biology, we wanted to bring some light to a problem that is incredibly pervasive in the fishing industries. Women often face hardships breaking into scientific fields but that is escalated when they are in male-dominated situations and isolated. The more we talk about these issues the more we can figure out ways to make them a thing of the past!

Case 32 - Lauren McCluskey

The Abyss Pod

08/24/20 • 74 min

Lauren McCluskey was a young University of Utah student in her prime. She was a gifted and dedicated athlete, a good student, a performer, and a caring friend and daughter. When she met Shaun Fields after a fun night out she could never have known the horror that awaited her. Shaun Fields was actually Melvin Rowland, a sex offender 16 years older than Lauren. Although Lauren and her friends tried to get help from the university and the police, Lauren was dismissed and faced a nightmare far too many women have to endure.

Case 25 - Paul & Sarah Skiba, and Lorenzo Chivers

The Abyss Pod

05/18/20 • 36 min

A loving father took his daughter along for work one day while him and a co-worker went along their regular routine. Nothing seemed abnormal about the day, until the three people never returned home that night. With all of their families and friends becoming more worried and suspicious, the police are forced to examine the nights events, but that turns out to be a bigger fight than imagined. Negligence leads to delays in the progression of case, possibly causing the people to never be found. This is the disappearance of Paul and Sarah Skiba, and Lorenzo Chivers.

ABC - Find Her / Lisa Gardner

The Abyss Pod

09/04/20 • 44 min

Thank you for tuning in once again! This month we are talking about Find Her by Lisa Gardner and it was such a good one!

Summary from Amazon:

"Seven years ago, carefree college student Flora Dane was kidnapped while on spring break. For 472 days, Flora learned just how much one person can endure. Miraculously alive after her ordeal, Flora has spent the past five years reacquainting herself with the rhythms of normal life, working with her FBI victim advocate, Samuel Keynes. She has a mother who’s never stopped loving her, a brother who is scared of the person she’s become, and a bedroom wall covered with photos of other girls who’ve never made it home.

When Boston detective D. D. Warren is called to the scene of a crime—a dead man and the bound, naked woman who killed him—she learns that Flora has tangled with three other suspects since her return to society. Is Flora a victim or a vigilante? And with her firsthand knowledge of criminal behavior, could she hold the key to rescuing a missing college student whose abduction has rocked Boston? When Flora herself disappears, D.D. realizes a far more sinister predator is out there. One who’s determined that this time, Flora Dane will never escape. And now it is all up to D. D. Warren to find her."

Case 16 - Cassie Stoddart

The Abyss Pod

01/13/20 • 34 min

While Cassie was house-sitting for her family, she planned to invite her boyfriend and mutual friends over for a movie. Little did she know, their friends had something more sinister planned that night: cold-blooded, premeditated murder. This is the case of Cassie Stoddart.

DISCLAIMER: This case is very intense with a lot of graphic detail and strong language that may not be suitable for everyone. Listener discretion is advised.
This was especially hard for us to research, as well as repeat to our listeners. Due to the current support for one of the murderers, we felt it was necessary to inform you on the horrific details of the case.

Case 19 - The Alphabet Murders

The Abyss Pod

02/24/20 • 39 min

Between 1971 and 1973, fear was amplified in the city of Rochester, New York. Previously, it was believed that the community was kind and safe for children to wander the streets alone. This mentality changed drastically when three young girls began to show up dead around the area. The similarities between the crime scenes were undeniable, but so were the similarities in the girls' lifestyles and names.

Case 6 - Christina Watson

The Abyss Pod

08/26/19 • 69 min

For most people, honeymoons are a time to celebrate the start of a new life with the person you love. It is filled with endless smiles and no fear. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Gabe and Tina Watson. Their dream getaway turns into a nightmare when a scuba disaster leaves one of them alone. It seems like an innocent tragedy until investigators notice that the stories aren't quite adding up. Was it an accident or calculated murder?

ABC - Where the Crawdads Sing / Delia Owens

The Abyss Pod

03/06/20 • 31 min

"For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.

Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps." - Amazon synopsis For more information visit theabysspod.com Coming April 3, 2020:

ABC - Adnan's Story / Rabia Chaudry

The Abyss Pod

11/06/20 • 82 min

"Serial only told part of the story...
In early 2000, Adnan Syed was convicted and sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior in Baltimore, Maryland. Syed has maintained his innocence, and Rabia Chaudry, a family friend, has always believed him. By 2013, after almost all appeals had been exhausted, Rabia contacted Sarah Koenig, a producer at This American Life, in hopes of finding a journalist who could shed light on Adnan’s story. In 2014, Koenig's investigation turned into Serial, a Peabody Award-winning podcast with more than 500 million international listenersBut Serial did not tell the whole story.
In this compelling narrative, Rabia Chaudry presents new key evidence that she maintains dismantles the State's case: a potential new suspect, forensics indicating Hae was killed and kept somewhere for almost half a day, and documentation withheld by the State that destroys the cell phone evidence -- among many other points -- and she shows how fans of Serial joined a crowd-sourced investigation into a case riddled with errors and strange twists. Adnan's Story also shares Adnan’s life in prison, and weaves in his personal reflections, including never-before-seen letters. Chaudry, who is committed to exonerating Adnan, makes it clear that justice is yet to be achieved in this much examined case."

If you have been into true crime podcasts for awhile you have probably heard Serial. Serial rocketed true crime podcasts into the mainstream and brought much needed attention to Adnan Syed's case but it left a lot out. In Rabia's book, she covers a lot of information that has come out on this case during and since Serial. Despite the tremendous effort and mountain of evidence of misconduct and nefarious actions Adnan remains in prison.
