This week Megan and Lindsay take you across the pond once again to take a look at the 1993 abduction of two year old James Bulger by two ten year old boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson. Denise Bulger took her eyes off of her baby for only seconds when Jon motioned to James to follow them. They easily took him by the hand and casually walked out of the Strand Shopping Center without anyone paying any mind. They take James on a 2.5 mile walk through town for hours, all while hitting and punching him and being seen by at least 38 adults. Not one person stepped in to save little James and in the end the boys took him to the train tracks where they ultimately beat him to death and left him lying across the tracks. Join us as we discuss what happened to James, what happens to Jon and Robert, and where psychopathy comes into play with child minds. Thanks for all the support!!

Today we're dissecting the courtroom showdown that pits financial troubles and hidden lifestyles against a seemingly simple fall – all under the looming question of how a husband could miss his wife's fatal descent. We're dusting off the case files to bring you a riveting discussion on the perplexing blood spatter analysis and scrutinize whether expert testimonies swayed the scales of justice.Forensic revelations can make or break a case, and in the Peterson trial, the blood told a story that seemed almost too bizarre to be true.

It's a notion as wild as nature itself, suggesting a nocturnal predator could be responsible for the wounds that led to Kathleen's tragic end. We sink our talons into this sensational hypothesis, weighing the possibility of such an unusual assailant against the backdrop of a case riddled with legal quandaries, like the Alford plea that haunted Michael Peterson. Stay with us as we explore the intersection of wildlife, forensic science, and the intricate dance of the American justice system.Thanks for all the support!!
