    21: The Mystery of Bog Bodies
    Mar 31 2025
    This week Carrie and Mandy explore both a modern conspiracy theory surrounding a beauty queen named Barbra Miller, also known as Barbie, and the ancient phenomenon of bog bodies found primarily in Europe.

    After talking about the Barbie conspiracy Carrie dives into the ancient mystery of bog bodies, which are remarkably preserved human remains found in bogs across Europe. These bodies date back to the Iron Age, and their preservation is attributed to the unique chemical conditions of the bogs, which prevent decomposition. Carrie provides a detailed explanation of how bogs form and how they contribute to the preservation of organic matter and then she tells about some of these bodies found and what is believed to have happened to them when they died.

  • 20: Ann Burgess and Isabella Goodwin

    20: Ann Burgess and Isabella Goodwin
    Mar 24 2025
    In this weeks episode Carrie covers the contributions of two trailblazing women in law enforcement. It highlights their significant impacts in their respective fields and the challenges they faced as women in male-dominated professions.

    Carrie begins by discussing Mandy first choice Ann Burgess a psychiatric nurse who was fascinated by human behavior. Following graduation with her doctorate ann partners up with sociologist Linda Holstrom. The two go on to publish a study that changed societal perceptions of sexual assault victims. This work revolutionized the understanding of sexual assault and helped reshape how law enforcement treated victims. She then collaborated with the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) of the FBI, helping to develop offender profiles based on her insights into victims' experiences. Anns contributions were pivotal in establishing classifications for serial offenders. The legacy Ann will someday leave behind includes pioneering forensic nursing, helping the FBI to create offender profilers and be able to profile them along with changing how the world viewed sexual assault victims and how these cases were handled.

    Following Ann Carrie moves on to tell us about the woman who became the first female detective in the New York Police Department or the NYPD, Isabella Goodwin.

    Isabellas early work in her career involved caring for women and children in police custody, where she demonstrated exceptional compassion and competence. Her breakthrough came when she was assigned to investigate a high-profile bank robbery in 1912. This undercover work garnered significant media attention and ultimately led to her promotion as the NYPD's first female detective. Throughout her career, Isabella tackled various cases involving fraud and corruption, proving her capabilities in a male-dominated field. Her legacy paved the way for future generations of women in law enforcement, and she continued to inspire others until her retirement.

    Their stories serve as inspiration for future generations and give hope to those that are blocked by the glass ceiling many women still today find themselves trapped by.
