Part 1 Witch Hunts- The origin story

I've been wanting to cover Witch Hunts for years! But I knew I didn't want to just tell another rendition of the Salem Witch Trials.

America's Deal with the Devil- MK ULTRA

On this episode of Wife of Crime I tell Russ about the CIA’s secret mind-control program known as MK Ultra. In the 1960s, a CIA scientist named Frank Olson fell from a 10th-floor Manhattan hotel window. His family was told it was suicide. But that “official story” would turn out to be the first crack exposing a web of corruption, cover-ups, and shocking experiments performed on unsuspecting citizens. This case isn’t just about one man’s mysterious death, it’s a reminder of how easily truth can be buried when powerful institutions control the narrative. Moral of this story... In the ‘60s it was LSD. Today it’s algorithms. Either way, someone is always trying to influence how you think. Big Shout out to Myrtle for helping me research this heavy hitter!

"I'll just lie..." - The Murder of Stephanie Crowe

On this episode of WOC I'm telling Russ the type of case I've been avoiding for a long time. See, I know how Russ thinks and I know when it comes to false confessions he is extremely close minded and quick to judge. I went into this conversation knowing that his opinion will probably annoy me but also hopeful that he might actually learn something, and to my surprise I think he actually, kind of did :) Moral of this story... "if cops try to question you for a crime you didn't commit tell them SMD I need a lawyer!" - Russ and the entire Bronx Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by Better Help Betterhelp.com/wifeofcrime1 Research for this case by Marci Smith Learn more about your ad choices.
