0:00.0	Hello everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. If you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the GoFundMe, which will be linked through the podcast's Facebook page. I'll be accepting requests for disasters to cover on the podcast as soon as possible. You just sign up at the
0:21.9	GoFundMe and send me a message either through email or through GoFundMe or on Facebook.
0:29.3	Normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can, but this will mean I will
0:34.4	definitely cover the topic you request as soon as I can finish all of the
0:38.0	research for it. The subject for this particular episode was actually a suggestion from Rachel,
0:42.9	who's one of the hosts of yours and murder, and as dark as it was, I just couldn't pass it up.
0:48.4	If you'd like to help support the podcast on a more regular basis, you can do so with a one-time
0:52.9	donation through PayPal at disaster
0:54.8	area at mail.com or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area

1:36.6	Dot WordPress.com.
1:38.8	Before we proceed, I would also like to preemptively apologize for any word I might mispronounce. There is a lot
1:45.7	of Portuguese in this episode because it is set in Brazil and I know Spanish. So if I instinctively
1:53.3	pronounce like Spanish, that would be why. Finally, a trigger warning. The disaster featured in
2:00.0	this episode features the deaths of children.
2:02.4	Very violent deaths too. So if you feel in any way that you might want to avoid this particular
