Ep 313: Reconsidered: 45 - Beverly Gail Allitt
Women & Crime: Reconsidered is where we revisit our episode catalog and bring new insights, behind the scenes or updates.
Original Airdate: 03/25/21
In the winter of 1991, tragedy hit the local hospital in Lincolnshire, England when many children were suddenly stricken by a mysterious & deadly illness.
Doctors were baffled as these children were admitted to the hospital separately and for relatively minor conditions.
However, the children did all have ONE thing in common, they were all left in the care of the same nurse…
Could it be that a person trusted to guard the welfare of these patients was actually the one putting them in peril? What possibly could turn a nurse to murder?

A special episode from Meg & Amy's other podcast, Campus Killings while Meg & Amy take some time off for the holidays.
In this episode, we explore the 2014 disappearance and murder of Hannah Graham; an 18 year old student at University of Virginia. She vanished on September 13 of that year. A large scale search for her was conducted, which to this day, is still the largest missing persons search conducted in the state of VA. Unfortunately, nothing was found. Then, five weeks after she vanished, her body was found on an abandoned property. She had been murdered. Police had a potential suspect early on; an unknown man who was captured on surveillance cameras leaving a bar with Hannah. He was finally identified as Jesse Matthew, and when police investigated him, they discovered that he was a serial predator.

omg "munchausen by proxy" is not a disorder! it is a pattern, method, and motive for abuse.
ugh so sick of every single troubled female being described as having "borderline personality disorder". and "histrionic personality disorder " is going to be eliminated from the dsm soon.
case starts at 4:25
something happened to the audio between 29.25 and 31.10.
there's a section towards the end where audio overlaps
Love Meghan’s mom!
I wish this podcast had more courage, since the topic is ostensibly women and crime.
I just watched a really interesting documentary on Keli Lane in Australia. Convicted of killing her infant daughter in a no body case. Many hidden pregnancies and giving two babies away without family knowledge. Her trial appears to have many flaws. This seems like a great case to cover! I have been binging and loving your podcast! Thank you!
I wonder if LE really got this one 100% correct. She couldn't even handle HEARING the description of what was done to the child without bursting into tears -- yet she is supposed to be the one who did this? She is supposed to be the sole perp? I think there is a male perp involved somehow who was never identified. Maybe an impotent old dude.
this kind of crime is NOT rare. what are these ladies talking about? and they have a career in this? the SUSPECT/PERP, in this not-rare kind of crime, is the rarest of the rare.
Teale was an alias used by Bernardo. To me this shows that she still had some sort of tie with him, whether it be emotional psychological, etc. Her sentencing and subsequently release were shameful The charges against his lawyer never should’ve been dropped. I walked past the convenience store that Leslie Mahaffey was taken from, in Burlington, with my infant son many many times right after her disappearance.I wondered if her body might be in the wooded area we walked past . Scary and sad
Crime is here, but I don't see the women (save for the lovely two hosts, of course). I enjoyed it, but it stood out to me
As a teen had two female friends that experienced Cannabis Psychosis. Both ended up with mental health issues later in life. I don’t know if the potency has any real impact if it’s a precursor of a mental illness.
there was nothing "protecting" this young woman from an actual physical assault. being "someone known to the victim" is NOT any barrier to a physical sexual assault, and you can ask any of countless women and girls R'd by men and boys they knew, especially family members and stepfathers. these women teach about women and crime - yet make these kinds of ignorant comments? there was nothing benign about what he did to her; he wasn't trying to bond with her or any of that crap.
my favorite numbskulls 🤣🤣🤣🤣 keep up the good work ladies!
Infuriating! My heart goes out to the boys family, especially their mother.
So tragic! I am glad the laws were changed.
Just so you are aware...Michelle Carter is from Plainville, MA and Tiana lived in Plainville, CT. Those are two different places!
I hate these parents. Ethan could have received help if his parents were more attentive.
Megan is thinking of Reno 911!
