EPISODE 11 - The Horrific Murder Of Matthew Shepard

Mary Bell is a British woman who gained notoriety for committing murders as a child in the 1960s. Born in 1957, Mary Bell was convicted of killing two young boys in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, when she was just 11 years old. The first victim, Martin Brown, was four years old and was found strangled in an abandoned house in May 1968. The second victim, Brian Howe, was three years old and was found strangled and mutilated in a wasteland in July 1968.Mary Bell was found guilty of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility, as it was determined that she had exhibited signs of psychopathy and had a troubled upbringing. She was sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, which is the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence. Bell was eventually released from prison in 1980 at the age of 23, and she has since lived under a series of pseudonyms to protect her identity.The Big C*nty CouchHosts That Girl Gina & Mike Fails invite queers and peers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showThank you for listening.

The Somerton Man, also known as the Tamam Shud case, is one of Australia's most enduring mysteries. In 1948, the body of an unidentified man was discovered on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, South Australia. The man was found lying on his back, with his head resting against the seawall, and his arms outstretched. Despite an extensive investigation, the man's identity and cause of death remain unknown to this day.The mystery deepened when a small piece of paper with the words "Tamam Shud" (meaning "ended" or "finished" in Persian) was found in a hidden pocket in the man's trousers. The paper was torn from a rare edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a book of Persian poetry. The book itself was later found in a nearby car, with a mysterious code written inside the back cover.Numerous theories have been put forward to explain the identity and circumstances surrounding the Somerton Man's death, but none have been proven. Some believe he was a spy, as the code found in the book has been suggested to be a code used by spies. Others believe he was involved in a love affair gone wrong, as a woman's phone number was found in the book as well. However, no one has been able to identify the woman or the man.In recent years, advancements in DNA technology have led to renewed efforts to solve the case. In 2019, the Somerton Man's body was exhumed in the hopes of extracting DNA samples that could be used to identify him. However, the results were inconclusive, and the mystery remains unsolved.The Big C*nty CouchHosts That Girl Gina & Mike Fails invite queers and peers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showThank you for listening.

In February 1977, Chicago police were left baffled by the brutal murder of a middle-aged healthcare worker. Teresita Basa, a respiratory therapist at Edgewater Hospital, had been found naked, stabbed in the chest with a butcher's knife, set alight and left under a burning mattress in her 15th floor apartment.Police interviewed family and friends, but came up with no leads as to who might have wanted to kill Basa, a quiet, well-educated, music-loving woman who'd moved to the US from the Philippines more than a decade earlier. One of the few clues was a note in her diary reading, "Get tickets for A.S."Six months into the police investigation, it looked like the case might never be solved. And then came a tip – but it was a strange one.The Big C*nty CouchHosts That Girl Gina & Mike Fails invite queers and peers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showThank you for listening.

Aron Ralston is an American mountaineer and adventurer who gained international attention in 2003 when he became trapped in a remote canyon in Utah and was forced to amputate his own arm to free himself.On April 26, 2003, Ralston set out on a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, part of the Canyonlands National Park in Utah. While descending a narrow slot canyon, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, trapping him in an isolated location with no means of communication.For the next five days, Ralston attempted various methods to free himself, including trying to chip away at the boulder and rigging a pulley system using his climbing rope. However, all his efforts proved unsuccessful. With limited food and water, Ralston faced a dire situation.On the sixth day, realizing that his chances of rescue were slim and facing the prospect of death, Ralston made the difficult decision to amputate his own arm. Using a dull multi-tool, he began the painful process of cutting through his forearm, severing the bones and tendons. After about an hour, he successfully freed himself from the boulder.Ralston then rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles before encountering a family who provided him with water and alerted authorities. He was eventually airlifted to a hospital, where he received medical treatment for his injuries.Aron Ralston's incredible story of survival and self-amputation gained widespread media attention and inspired many. His ordeal was later depicted in the 2010 film "127 Hours," directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco as Ralston.Since his harrowing experience, Ralston has continued his adventurous pursuits and has become an advocate for outdoor safety. He has given numerous motivational speeches and has written a book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," which details his experience and the lessons he learned from it. Ralston has also worked with the National Park Service to promote safety and preparedness for outdoor activities.In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Ralston has become a father and has focused on his family life. He has also continued to inspire others with his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The Big C*nty CouchHosts That Girl Gina & Mike Fails invite queers and peers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showThank you for listening.
