Cloudy Conclusions

This week, we will learn about the brutal attacks on four women by a familiar face... to them, not to us. But this case came across our radar only because of another 'That 70s Show' alum apparent involvement. What is going on over there in Hollywood?! Well, listen along as we get the truth behind the misplaced rumors.

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

This week, we will be covering Danny Masterson and all of his wrongdoings that were covered up by the Church of Scientology. Though many people were blindsided by this case, this has been in the making for decades. Now that the cloak of the church has lifted, Danny is being rightfully punished for his crimes. But what led to this downfall?

After reading and preparing for this case, my conclusion is far from cloudy.

This week we will be looking into the case of Otylia Gburek, a Polish American woman that grew a name for herself. It was said she had powers of premonition, and you would hope that would be enough notoriety in the early 1900s. However, when people started falling around her, she gained a different type of name: Black Widow.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

This week, we will be looking into the case of Lee Shelton, better known as Stagger Lee. A real Christmas story about how Black culture's first notable pimp and gangster went down in oral history. When a night of drinking ends in murder, the who is known, but the why is questionable. Was it all over a hat, or was that cap?

After reading and preparing for this week's case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

Surprise! You all get two episodes in one week, due to my hiatus last week. I'm feeling the Christmas spirit and wanted to gift you all with an extra (read as makeup) episode. 

This week, we will be looking into the murder of the New York socialite Irene Silverman, an older woman with a lively spirit. Irene crossed many paths in her long lifetime, and a majority of them loved her; so who did she meet that wanted to dim her light? She may have had money, but she had even more street smarts, so it was widely unexpected to learn she had been conned and met with foul play.

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

This week we will be looking into the Unsolved Mystery about Cynthia Anderson. 20-year-old Cynthia went missing from her place of employment without a trace, and 40 years later, many are still wondering what happened to the young woman. Looking at the details of this case became a cross between "It was bound to happen" and "Who Dunnit?"

This week we will be looking into the case of Grim Sleeper, a serial killer that terrorized South Central Los Angeles. Over a period of two decades, he murdered at least nine women and attempted to murder Eneitra Washington. The Grim Sleeper caused trauma to not only his victims, survivors included, but the families and community he was a member of. 

If you don't get anything else from this case, get this- Black Women are the least protected humans in this world.

This week we will be diving into the case of Clementine Barnabet, the first African American serial killer. Though she was only convicted of one slaying, she claimed to have brought an end to almost 35 lives. Even in the early 1900's this case caused a news frenzy, from the notoriety of her being a Black murderess to the mention of strange voodoo practices. 

After reading and preparing for this case, my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

In the spirit of dropping during the spooky month, I decided to present a true crime story that occurred in the early evening of Halloween night, 1974.

Eight-year-old Timothy O'Bryan was excited to dig into his haul of candy from a great evening of trick or treating, with his family and friends. After eating dinner, washing up for bed, he was finally ready to choose his treasured pick of candy as his nighttime treat. However, he would not ever get the chance to eat the rest of his candy.
