Deadly Daddy

February 8, 2017September 6, 2019 Lanie1 Comment

John Battaglia Jr. would brutally murder his two daughters, Faith and Liberty while his ex-wife listened on the other end. He wanted to control everything around him and when he felt like the control was slipping, he decided on the ultimate act of revenge using the most innocent victims. Their deaths would create changes in child custody arrangements.

Help Find Christina

January 23, 2017September 6, 2019 LanieLeave a comment

Christina Morris was last seen entering a parking garage with an acquaintance at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, TX on August 30, 2014. That acquaintance, Enrique Arochi, is now serving a life sentence in prison for the aggravated kidnapping of Christina. She has still not been found.

This was a very important case for me to cover. I’ve felt a connection with her disappearance ever since she disappeared in 2014. My hope is to help get her name out to a broader audience and help bring Christina home.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance or current whereabouts of Christina Morris, contact Plano Police at 972-424-5678 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 877-373-TIPS.

A $30,000 REWARD IS OFFERED. #FindChristina

Sylvia & Erica – The Crossover

December 17, 2016September 6, 2019 Lanie2 Comments

The True Crime Fan Club Podcast & The Bone Palace Ballet Podcast have creatively joined forces to bring you this unique crossover episode. While a departure from our original format, we are hoping to bridge our listeners together to hear the sad cases of Sylvia Likens & Erica Parsons.

The murder of Sylvia Likens and Erica Parsons though decades apart have striking similarities. They were both abused and murdered by people who were charged with their care. Their abuse was witnessed by strangers, neighbors, friends, or close family members and still, no one spoke up.

The silence of the ongoing and tortuous abuse would lead to their sad deaths. It is our hope with this episode that you are courageous enough to speak up if you recognize the signs of abuse.

Our respective shows to honor the memory of Sylvia Likens & Erica Parsons have donated to: http://preventchildabuse.org/ Our donations will go directly to assisting this organization meet it’s mission of preventing child abuse in America. Please consider making a donation to this organization.

Too Close to Home

November 21, 2016September 6, 2019 Lanie11 Comments

David Elliot Penton was a sadistic child predator. He stalked his victims until the moment was right. His hunting ground? Just a few miles from where I grew up in North Dallas. This real life boogeyman was every parents worst nightmare. Unable to satiate his urge to murder, David would leave families and the victims who survived, irreparably damaged.
