Episode 99: The UT Tower Shooting
21/07/2021 Duration: 51minHi Lil Hellions!This week we're talking about a case very close to us, The U.T. Tower Shooting. The 60s was an entirely different time, but it is easy to see how not much has changed in some ways. We're still dealing with mass shootings on a weekly basis and it is exhausting. I hope this episode can shed light on some of the issues we have been facing for the past few decades.

Episode 98: L.I.S.K.
07/07/2021 Duration: 55minThis week we're talking about the Long Island Serial Killer (who may or may not still be out there). This case is such a bizarre and sad case. From 1996 to 2011 (maybe even 2013), the Long Island Serial Killer took the lives of many sex workers in the area. The investigation was a mess, and many people (including me) believe there is police corruption involved.Merch Merch Merch: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/hellbound-pod/Join Ms. Patreon, we love her: https://www.patreon.com/hellboundpodThank y'all for your continued support.

Episode 97: An Interview with Molly Eagan
30/06/2021 Duration: 55minThis week I had the amazing opportunity to interview Molly Eagan. Molly is a trauma-informed writer, activist, and award-winning investigative journalist. In this episode, we talk about her and Lizzy Hershberger's new book, Behind Blue Curtains. It is a memoir about Lizzy's experience leaving the Amish and coming forward about the abuse she experienced as a young child there. Her story is, sadly, very common among these communities. That's why it is so important they are sharing her story. I am so thankful for Molly's time and these women's bravery.

Bonus Episode: The Von Erich Family
28/06/2021 Duration: 01h25minHi Lil Hellions! A few weeks ago, I recorded an awesome episode with my lovely friend Joe Shaw. Joe hosts DTalks Podcast and After the Encore Podcast and is so incredibly talented. He joined me to talk about the Von Erich family. They were a wrestling family in the 80s in Texas and all but one have died an extremely tragic death. Y'all know I know nothing about sports, but I found this story so crazy interesting. It's an incredibly heartbreaking example of how damaging unaddressed mental illness can be.Find Joe at DTalks or After the Encore <3See you all in hell (and also this Wednesday),Lara <3Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/hellboundpod) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

23/06/2021 Duration: 49minOOFY Y'ALL. This week we're talking about Kenneka Jenkins, who was found dead in a hotel freezer 24 hours after she went missing. This controversial case has people all over the internet dissecting every aspect and there are many, MANY theories about what happened. Was it an accident and she just wandered in? Was it a cover-up? Was it a murder? I have no idea, but I do know this case is a wild ride with a lot to it.Merch Merch Merch: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/hellbound-pod/Join Ms. Patreon, we love her: https://www.patreon.com/hellboundpodThank y'all for your continued support.

Episode 95: The Tulsa Race Massacre
16/06/2021 Duration: 53minThis week we're taking a break from our normal episodes to talk about something extremely important. The Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the worst nights in American history. The residents of Greenwood were thriving and successful and that was brutally taken away from them. This story is almost never taught in schools, even in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This weekend is also Juneteenth. In between recording this and today, the Senate unanimously voted to make Juneteenth a national holiday. This is great but would be a lot sweeter if it wasn’t so preformative. We still have a lot more work to do. I'm including resources below for how we can continue to learn and help our black loved ones.Resources:Information on ReparationsExcellent interactive articleVictory of Greenwood book #TulsaSyllabusMerch Merch Merch: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/hellbound-pod/Join Ms. Patreon, we love her: https://www.patreon.com/hellboundpodThank y'all for your continued support.

09/06/2021 Duration: 39minThis week's episode is filled with Mormons, cult leaders, and murder. We're going to Utah, and many other places, to talk about Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.
