Morbid

For most of his life, Jeffrey Epstein was a mystery-- who he was, how he made his money, and how he got away with horrific crimes for so many years.

This one is a real head scratcher. Jessica Johnson, a 37 year old single mother,  is found hanging from a mailbox in broad daylight. Police immediately label it a bizarre suicide but almost all of the evidence points to something much more sinister.

It's Alaina's science corner time again! With Ash on a quick vacation and new baby Morbid finally here, our schedules have been crazy. So what better time for another solo science adventure with Alaina. Tonight, we discuss the science of fear. Why do some people love frightening things and others actively avoid them? We discuss the psychology as well as the biological factors at play here while also talking about extreme haunted houses and the level of commitment to a love of fear that they require.

Mondays don't rank high on everyone's list but in 1979 Brenda Ann Spencer took this cliche to a horrifically violent place. With 2 dead and 9 injured, she had one simple reason for her rampage; "I just don't like Mondays".

It's a historical mini! This week's tiny Morbid is a good old fashioned mystery/whodunit. After a long journey through the hellfire that was Dennis Rader, I think we can all use something lighter and possible politically charged murder is just the ticket. The Princes in the Tower takes us back to Tudor England when there was a real life game of thrones happening and sometimes things and often people got in the way of throne succession.
