© 2024 What Cries Out
Description
We are a monthly Mother-Daughter True Crime Podcast. Each month we will focus on a case that cries out to us. What brings an individual to the precipice of darkness? Can we make sense of societies darkest edges? Sometimes we share generationally opposing views or push our own minds to that edge, but we do this to bring souls into remembrance all while bringing a social issue to light... This is What Cries Out.

Go into the darkest corner of your house and most likely you will find a spider web. Whether abandoned or residing its present guest or victim, it can make us think of how similar they are to cases. Strings formed and connected into intricate designs and never-ending links... Some that we are never even aware of... Or just out of reach. Could our natural curiosity with the rapid advancements in technology be tempting us to blur the lines of our moral compass? We are ...
For a cult to form, it takes a balance; a symmetry of circumstances and encounters for cults to find their footing, drawing both followers and leaders into their circle. For the followers, it's like standing alone on the edge of a cliff, feeling the weight of loneliness until a welcoming hand reaches out, promising unity and acceptance. The allure lies in never facing solitude again, even if it means abandoning reason and logic...jumping into something mysterious.As for th...
*Trigger warning. Parts of this case will be extremely disturbing* Researching cases of child homicide is extremely challenging. In the world of true crime podcasting, these cases can be difficult to listen to, and we understand that some listeners may prefer not to. However, we advocate for the most vulnerable victims - children who had no choice or voice. Their stories cry out to us. One such story is that of Harmony Montgomery. Despite a rough start in life, Harmon...
OPEN. COLD. NO ANSWERS. There is something unsettling when you open a case file and the first thing our eyes go to is usually these two things: the date of the crime and the status. Seeing a case remain OPEN is one of the most difficult crimes to unfold. A story cannot always be told in a linear fashion from beginning to end but more in fragments. It leaves something to be wanted... We live in a world seeking instant gratification and op...
Marriage is a sacred bond. It requires trust, mutual respect, teamwork and intimacy.... just to name a few. It’s never perfect and it can be hard at times. The story we are going to tell is about a couple who portrayed the image of the “perfect marriage”. They seemed to “have it all”. They were the “it” couple. However, behind closed doors they had a secret, one in which they didn’t want anyone to know. Despite this outward image of perfection...
This is the story of two men. One man chose the path of light......the other man, chose the path of darkness. These two men should never have met. They did not run in the same circle, nor did they have similar backgrounds. The paths they chose were different. One fateful day, Rais Bhuiyan and Mark Stroman’s paths would cross, in a meeting that would result in catastrophic consequences. It would change both of these men’s lives forever. But this is not your...
There is a Latin expression, "Res Ipsa Loquitur" meaning ('the thing speaks for itself', or literally 'the thing itself speaks') and I can't help but see this being exactly what What Cries Out stands for. This expression is common in law where the facts make it self-evident that negligence or other responsibility lies within a party, therefore it is not necessary to provide extraneous details, since it is so painfully obvious. This is vital for us to understand...
“Home is where the heart is”, we all heard the saying. It’s where you feel safe, secure and at peace. .... or at least it should be. But what goes on behind closed doors and within the walls of some homes.... can be horrific. The aftermath of brutal crimes is obvious.... lost lives, lasting trauma of family and friends and impacted communities. But there is another fallout, it is the homes and dwellings where some of these heinous and notoriou...
The most powerful bond in human relationships is that of family, especially between a mother and her child. A mother’s love is unconditional, selfless, unbreakable, always forgiving... and that love surpasses all things. But that is not the case in this story. This is a story of a most toxic family dynamic. One that was riddled with abuse, manipulation, conflict, selfishness, and greed that escalated into the ultimate betrayal. This is Episode 34:&n...
My son loves prisms. I remember when he was old enough to walk, he would take these stacks of prisms and place them by the windowsill and would watch the light reflect through them... Making these tiny rainbows. I was a new mom and remember loving to see the world from his point of view. Witnessing how one sees through another's eyes can be one of the most beautiful and privileged things to experience... But... Sometimes prisms are like people... reflecti...
It was the very early morning hours of April 1st, 1990, a semi-truck was parked alongside Interstate 10 in Casa Grande, AZ, with the hazard lights on. An Arizona state trooper noticed the rig, and something about it caught his attention. Did the driver need help? He cautiously approached the driver’s side....no one was there. He thought he heard a noise.... coming from the sleeper cab, so the officer stepped on the runner and shone his flashlight in...
The insanity defense has always been a topic for debate. In this episode, we are going to learn some facts about what insanity is and how our criminal justice system defines it. Pleading insanity is not as easy as you think. We will give some true case examples of defendants who used the defense, some successfully....and some not. A couple of those cases even changed our legal system. Finally, should there be reform within the criminal justice syste...
"You're guilty until proven innocent. Perception is reality, that's the way that it is in this world...." For this case we are taking you off the beaten path and getting a little, raccoon-like? I don't know if it is because everywhere I read this case, it's ONE side. One perception being highlighted and the other one is almost completely ignored... and you know how we like "possibilities". This is going to be hard, but I want our listen...

*TRIGGER* This episode discusses crimes involving children. What comes to mind when you hear the term “The Dark Web”? We think of shadows, acts committed in secrecy…maybe even the stuff of nightmares. The Dark Web can be the stuff of nightmares, a place where even angels fear to tread. Afterall, “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is looking”.....And what he does and is capable of, is truly dark. We will take a deep dive ...
Fearless... Determined... An Overcomer. Strong women don't have to be mascaraed as men, but our strength lies in who we are. Intuitive. Sacrificial. Vulnerable. All Beautiful. The case we are going to discuss isn't about the badass survivor who fought off her attacker and is now an advocate for women's safety... because even when a fellow woman is overtaken by her stalker.... She is still worthy to be the symbol for bravery... And to be ...

When we think of marriage, the term "Tie-the-Knot" is a widely popular phrase. It comes from an ancient Celtic tradition of handfasting- Where the hands are bound together, a representation of the two becoming one... But what happens when these knots become tangles...? We all know infidelity invites many problems... The ending of marriage vows, the jealousy, deception and ruination of promises made to so many... But somewhere in the affairs, the dishonesty and ...
1*Trigger* This episode discusses cannibalism. “Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster. And if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you”. When researching a true-crime podcast, we often think of this quote by philosopher Frederich Nietzsche. We do our best to not gaze for too long, but only glance. What cried out to us about this case…or any case we cover? It’s not just about the crime, but how it impacts us as a societ...
