Summary

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna explore the dark and dangerous world of death fetish. They have two amazing advocates joining them, LaDonna Humphrey & Alecia Lockhart, co-authors of Strangled and experts in this seedy community.

Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim, here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?

0:39.0

I'm doing great today, Tim. Thanks so much for asking. I'm very excited to present this

0:44.0

really thought-provoking conversation to our listeners. I hope everyone out there is

0:48.0

doing great. But, Tim, how are you? Sir!

0:51.0

What is Frank Polaria around here? Sir. I'm doing great. This conversation that we

0:56.0

had with authors Ladonna Humphrey and Alicia Lockhart is not true crime light, Lance.

1:02.0

This is the opposite. This is true crime about as dark and fringy as you can get in

1:09.0

talking about the death fetish community. This conversation itself does sort of

1:43.0

documented in their book called Strangold and you can get a copy online.

1:47.0

There's a link in the show notes. These two Ladonna and Alicia have started

1:52.0

their own podcast. It's called Deep Dark Secrets Podcast, but Lance, they met

1:56.0

because Ladonna has been investigating Melissa Whitt's Unsolved Murder and

2:01.0

Alicia had, well, I guess a part of the puzzle. So when they met up, they

2:06.0

started looking into this together and it's led to a book and now their

2:11.0

podcast Deep Dark Secrets. And you can check that out at deepdarksecretspodcast.com
