Summary

Note: We apparently accidentally set "Ep. 2: George Hodel" to "private" sometime last week. If you already listened to "Ep. 2: George Hodel" last week, please disregard this message. If you haven't yet listened to it, please listen to it before you listen to this episode, as much of it won't make sense without having listened to the second episode.

In our second to last episode, Ashley and Megan talk about George Hodel's daughter Tamar and the legacy of pain that she left behind her after her father's treatment of her. We also talk about Tamar's first daughter, Fauna, who she had to give up at birth. Fauna had a traumatic upbringing with her adoptive parents, but that may have been her saving grace, because life with Tamar was a living hell for her kids.


Trigger Warning: Incest, child abuse, sexual assault and child sex trafficking.

Special thanks to Rasha Pecoraro and Yvette Gentile for allowing us to tell their family's story. We respect the hell out of these incredible women.
