Not Me, Not Today- The survival of Thad Phillips
In honor of the holidays I needed another story with a positive ending! I first saw Thad's story on I Survived and I was in utter shock! This case is one of our few child Not Me, Not Today stories and it proves, yet again, kids are so resilient. I had the honor of meeting a boy this week at work that has been through some of the toughest circumstances a human can endure and he did it with strength and a smile. As an adult it really put things in perspective for me, I am so inspired by these kids and I hope you are too! Moral of the story... "We can’t control all the variables in our lives. It’s about what we do with opportunities revoked or presented to us that determine how a story ends." - David Goggins Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Haunted Mansion- Delphine LaLaurie
Happy Halloween!!! On this week's episode I am telling Russ about what is said to be one of the most haunted houses in America. 1140 Royal Street is located in New Orleans Louisiana and it has a legacy ripped right out of a horror film. In 1834 a fire broke out in the mansion. People would soon discover the atrocities being hidden in the home and realize that the person responsible for these horrible acts was a high society woman named Madame Delphine LaLaurie. I went down a rabbit hole this week about her and her crimes so get ready! Moral of this story...

The evidence is mad weak!- Michael Morton and Adnan Syed
On this week's episode I'm telling Russ about the brutal murder of Christine Morton. We hear "the husband did it" all the time in true crime but what happens when the people investigating your wife's murder automatically jump to that conclusion way too quickly?! We also discuss the decision last week to overturn the murder conviction of Adnan Syed. Both of these cases have some real similarities, one of them being the evidence is mad weak!

"See through flat top" - Krugersdorp Cult Killings
On this week's episode I'm telling Russ about the insane case of the Krugersdorp Cult Killings. In Krugersdorp South Africa in 2012 a woman named Cecelia Steyn walked into a church claiming she escaped a satanic cult and wanted deliverance. The church got behind her and supported her for a while but eventually Cecelia wanted more. She formed a sub sect of the church and named it Electus Per Deus. This group of 6 members would follow Cecelia for the next 4 years and commit horrible crimes. Moral of this story ... "Look down at me and you see a fool, Look up at me and you see a God. Look straight at me and you see yourself" - Charles MansonSponsors:Hello Freshwww.hellofresh.com/wifeofcrime65Promo code: wifeofcrime65BetterHelp:Betterhelp.com/wifeofcrimepodTilly Storm:www.tilly-storm.comBecome a Patron!www.patreon.com/wifeofcrimepod Learn more about your ad choices.
