Part 3: The relentless harassment and stalking of the victims escalated to a new, perilous level, raising alarm bells for the detectives assigned to the case. Then, a breakthrough: Law enforcement discovered the identity of the escalating stalker, leading them to a staggering amount of digital evidence that the perpetrator believed had been long ago deleted. But the pressing question lingered: did they possess enough evidence to bring the stalker to justice for murder? Crafting an ingenious plan, the detectives ensnared the suspect in their own web of manipulation, culminating in an arrest warrant that left a trail of shock, pain, and horrifying betrayal. As the trial unfolded, family and friends of Cari Farver held their breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome—would justice be served, or would disaster ensue?

Part 2: Neuroscience graduate student James Holmes is in therapy with psychiatrists Dr. Lynne Fenton and Dr. Robert Feinstein. He struggles with anxiety and intrusive, violent thoughts, but withholds crucial information from his psychiatrists, including his purchase of weapons. His lack of transparency leaves the psychiatrists concerned but unable to take action. After failing his preliminary exams, James withdraws from school and quits therapy. Now, he focuses on his ‘mission’ to unleash carnage and commit mass murder. Enacted, the Century 16 Theater in Aurora, Colorado erupts in bloodshed and death. Immediately arrested, the police begin the investigation, as a traumatized community struggles to cope with the horrific reality that has engulfed their community, pleading to understand ‘why’ 70 people were grievously wounded, and 12 murdered. Note: While editing this episode, I realized that instead of saying "End Quote" as I have hundreds of times, this time, I said "End Twelve". It was entirely unconscious, a pure Freudian slip, and an all too grim example of the very unconscious factors that I've attempted to explain. I didn't correct this, I left it, because it was all too accurate, my heartbreak bleeding through. Buy A Dark Night in Aurora: Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Mass Shooting by Dr William H.

Western Georgia, 1946. Years after Prohibition ended, illegal stills are still in operation, fueled by vast amounts of money and corruption, far removed from the portrayal of good old boy exploits seen on TV and in movies. In this era of moonshine and deceit, it is the responsibility of the Georgia Revenue Agents to identify and shut down these illicit operations and to arrest those involved. As danger and fear escalate, a murder heightens the tension, igniting a pursuit of justice that drags women, children, and those sworn to uphold the law into the line of fire. Drawing on the stories told by his grandfather, a Revenue Agent, and his extensive research into the unfolding events and the lives impacted by this turmoil, Chris Skates speaks with Jill about his book, Moonshine Over Georgia- a perfect summer read by the pool or at the beach!
