Grab your death metal albums and don't talk to the cops without a lawyer because today we're gaining a broader understanding of the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s and how it greatly impacted the case of the West Memphis ThreeIn part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas. We told you things the way that they seemed, now it’s time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it’s origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning. We also include passages from Damien’s book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There’s so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Grab your your old cassette tapes, and your deepest sense of injustice, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of the 1993 West Memphis Murders and the three little boys who never made it home.On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They’d get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It’s not over.There’s new evidence. There’s new DNA. There’s a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.In part one of this series, we’re not starting with suspects. We’re starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.(originally released in May of 2023, full sources available in show notes)Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Trade in your telescope for an adult diaper and ignore that court-issued restraining order, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of the 2007 astronaut love triangle. Lisa Nowak became infamous after driving 900 miles in a space diaper to kidnap the new girlfriend of her astronaut ex lover- but the story behind the headlines is much more disturbing. Lisa literally went to space but even before this, there were cracks. We look at how the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster sparked a series of events that may have drove Lisa to madness- and if nothing else exposed an institution built to ignore emotion and put spectacle over safety.Sources:Lust in Space, Texas Monthly2007https://www.texasmonthly.com/t...?Astronaut Love Triangle: Lisa Nowak 'Is Finally at Peace' 15 Years After Attacking Romantic Rivalhttps://people.com/crime/astro...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.

Originally released in January 2023, CW: SA, violenceOn June 23 1993, after enduring years of physical and emotional abuse, Lorena Bobbitt infamously cut off the p*nis of her sleeping husband, John Wayne Bobbit. The case instantly becomes content for the 24 news cycle and a joke for late night comedians but the backstory is much more sinister. In this episode, we will discuss how Lorena was a victim of domestic abuse during a time when there were no laws and few systems in place to protect or help women stuck in dangerous relationships.We will also examine the trials of John and Lorena, gender bias in the media and the court room, domestic violence and the difficulty of leaving abusive situations. Lastly, we’ll go over why this story is still important to talk about thirty years later and ask whether there are more options now than there were then. Sources: Bell, Rachael.
