The search for a missing Kendra Battelo has taken unexpected twists & turns. When Kendra, a woman with history of domestic violence from her partner Colby Sheppard went missing. It was all hands on deck from the MMIW due to her Muskagee Native American ethnicity, help from OurBlackGirls.com since Kendra is also of African American descent but the government organization & media outlets strangely silent are those that should be rallying like they have in so many other cases. Now oddly enough the boyfriend Kendra was due in court to testify against before she disappeared has joined the countless missing posters in Enid, Oklahoma. Are these cases connected? Or is this just an odd coincidence? Also, why when in similar situations like the Laundry/Petito case were media outlets lining neighborhoods but we are almost at 3 years & few people know of the Kendra Battelo case? https://www.facebook.com/groups/841049350613303/ https://www.news9.com/story/631140d835bd4e06fbee6809/family-asks-for-help-finding-missing-25yearold-woman Trailer @insinuationpodcast @dying2bfoundpodcast Co-Host Deborah Norman @dying2bfoundpodcast @insinuationpodcast If you have any information on Kendra's disappearance, you can contact Enid police at (580) 242-7000 or Garfield County crime stoppers at 580-233-6233.

Serial Killer Anthony LaRette murdered 18 year old Mary Fleming on July 25, 1980. Once captured Anthony LaRette made an acquaintance with Detective Patricia Juhl from Pinellas Florida. Their friendship unearthed LaRette’s secrets. Murders that spanned the United States. Many in Kansas where he was currently residing. The murder of Tracey Miller of Manhattan Kansas while her baby daughter crawled about the room was just the tip of the iceberg but the descriptions & connections Anthony LaRette had already made so far wasn’t enough to for legislators to keep LaRette from death row until investigators around the United States could get more information for their families. 35 years later we are creating a serial killer crowd solve with confessional data, medical & arrest records we hope to close a few open cases.

Mary Lang was last seen in downtown Hays, Kansas early in the afternoon of Oct. 21, 1983. Her car was found abandoned with its door open, and her purse and legal papers were inside. Five days after she vanished her jacket was found with her car keys in the jacket pocket. On September 21, 1987 skeletal remains were found outside of Lincolnville, revealing not Mary Lang, but instead a homicide victim. So many questions. So many theories. Family & law enforcement want the community to focus on the facts to find what really happened to Mary Lang.

Grief from losing a loved one is something you never lose. That grief becomes compounded when a case that’s already been solved however family & law enforcement are still trying to locate remains becomes a media circus. Members of the “BTK Taskforce recently misrepresented the facts of this case & others to gain notoriety to push their agenda for a TV program. Victims families are crying out that their loved ones are being used as props but their pleas are dismissed. We also discuss the TRUE BTK TASKFORCE the dedicated officers of the Wichita Police Department also known as the Ghostbusters led by Kenneth Landwehr. This team dedicated their lives to find Dennis Rader. He deserves to be stripped of his BTK moniker now that he has been caught.

Now that school is out many children are out of the house & playing with friends. As parents we need to be able to identify when that play becomes abuse. Child on child abuse does occur & takes many forms from verbal, physical to sexual. We developed this series to help educate parents of the signs of child on child abuse. When an occurrence is more than just normal play. We also take a look at psychopathy in children. Even though the American psychiatric association labels these children as conduct disorder with callous and unemotional traits” we disagree. We’ve seen firsthand the danger in ignoring behavioral traits in these children & not stigmatizing but having honest conversations with your child in summer safety & instilling early the see something say something.
