Summary

[BONUS Episode] Meg & Amy are joined by psychologists Dr. Shiloh & Dr. Scott from “L.A. Not So Confidential” podcast, to examine the Cindy James case from a psychologists’ point of view.  In the 1980s Cindy James claimed she was the victim of over 100 acts of violence, including many forms of psychological and physical abuse by an unknown offender. However, even with a heavy police presence and help from a private investigator, her assailant could never be identified and eventually the police would suspect Cindy was doing this to herself. These attacks would culminated in Cindy’s death, but was it murder or suicide? Ours guests discuss the psychology behind a range of behaviors from stalking, to hoaxing your own assaults.  Sponsors:  Daily Harvest - Get $25 off your first order at http://www.daily-harvest.com when you use the promo code: WOMEN Pretty Litter - Get the world’s smartest litter without leaving home by visiting PrettyLitter.com and use promo code WOMEN for 20% off your first order.
