Redhanded

We wanted to celebrate and share some of our top picks from our 2020 Patreon releases, so here is possibly our most requested episode from the $10+ Patreon archives! In this bonus episode we released last summer, we talked with long time Spooky Bitches, Cassie and Mike as they told us about the challenges and difficulties that their family have faced in the midst of their son Arthur’s serious behavioural issues. Issues including: violence against others, animal abuse, a lack of remorse and callous unemotional traits. They share the major incidents that occurred, how Arthur is now being treated clinically and what they think the future holds for the 14 year old. Cassie and Mike reached out to us wanting to open up about this difficult topic to try and help anyone else who may be going through something similar, and also to give families like them a voice - we were honoured that they trusted us and we know that it will be received without judgement.

This month in our Black Lives Matter series, we discuss the death of Ms Dhu. During the two day's Ms Dhu spent in police custody in Western Australia, she was dropped to the floor, lifted by her hands and feet, and another prisoner was dragged into her cell to stare at her. She went through all of this while being verbally abused and suffering from sepsis. She died of preventable causes aged just twenty-two, while a white officer stood over her saying she was "faking it". This is Ms Dhu's story.

On Halloween night 1979, 16 year old Lynette Ledford was on her way home from a party when she vanished. The discovery of her body the next day set in motion a disturbing investigation into a pair of brutal serial killers who had raped, tortured and murdered their way across the state for months.  John E Douglas - the FBI profiler who assessed the likes of Manson, BTK, Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz and Richard Speck - said of one of this pair: “He was the most disturbing man I’ve profiled”.
