www.patreon.com/darktopic for exclusives.This ep starts off a little odd for DT. I had a loss in my family that I shouldn't speak publicly about yet so I cut it. Also, this is a previously released on Patreon, but unreleased public ep of DT. Thanks for understanding. Although, this is confusing no doubt.July 12th 2013. A Friday afternoon in the quaint village of Richfield Wisconsin. A young woman attempting to walk her dog through a nature park is accosted by a would be rapist who jumps out from behind a van in the secluded spots parking area. Daniel Bartelt - a bad actor - would run away to regroup. And get it right in a repeat performance.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dark-topic2753/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
