Summary

We are kicking off Season 3 with a look at two seperate women who should have been queens of their own destinies, but instead were working for shadowy figures in the background, doing their bidding, and ruining lives in the process. We first discuss the case of star ballerina Dusty Button and the accusations that have been lodged against her and her husband Mitchell Button aka Taylor Moore. Surprisingly uncovered by the media, six women have come forth with horrific stories of torture and abuse at the hands of Dusty's husband, and even Dusty herself. How does someone with so much to lose give everything to a predator? Know of a missing woman's case that needs attention? Contact us at someplaceunderneith@gmail.com. Some Place Under Neith produced and edited by Ryan Conner and Last Podcast Network. Artwork by Kevin Conor Keller, intro song "Subway" by Lunachicks, remixed by Devin Castaldi-Micca.

1:11.1

Travi, I have to think, ask Caroline how to pronounce it, correctly.

1:16.0

But she's also, the dynamic that I find really interesting and sad in this is that the lead ballerina, who's, who's so powerful, was helping her husband traffic. So he was like basically, I'd blame her too, but

1:30.9

yeah, he was basically puppeteering her to get him victims. And this woman who should have been

1:57.6

And it turned out that she ended up, was accused of trafficking girls for her,

I think, her business partner.

2:05.6

I have to kind of go further into that.
