Welcome back for Episode 82 here at the BnB! Thank you for joining me as I welcome Deb from Dying To Be Found podcast as this week's guest bad guy!
Deb went big with her case this week, in the tragic downfall, crimes, and untimely death of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. He did some terrible things over a number of years, but Deb shows us the double-edged sword of the life that made him both wealthy and reckless. She elaborates on underlying factors and influences that helped send Aaron in the wrong direction. But whatever the reasons he did the things he did, by Aaron's hand, Odis Lloyd was needlessly killed in cold blood.
Beth follows up with a survivor story from 1986. Laurie Melanson was living in small town New York and working in a challenging and fulfilling career. When she met John Brown, it didn't take long for her to realize he wasn't the right guy for her. After she broke it off, though, John became obsessed and violent, assaulting Laurie, stalking her, and finally attempting to kill them both in a murder-suicide. But she was stronger and more determined than he thought she would be, and she fought her way back and used her experience to help people who really needed her understanding.
