Season 4: When Rhoda Nathan's lifeless body was discovered in her hotel room, it was assumed she'd had a heart attack. The autopsy proved otherwise: Nathan, 67, had been viciously beaten to death, punched so hard by her assailant that two of her teeth had been knocked out. Days later, a hotel employee went to the hospital to be treated for an infection in his hand, which was teeming with a bacteria most often found in human mouths. That, plus a pendant an officer said was discovered in the t ...

When I speak of silencing women, I am not referring to speech. No, in fact, the sound of their words is simply the expression of their voices, not their voice itself. What I’m speaking of is the silencing of their souls, their spirit, their divine expression. I’m referring to the things they came here to say and do and think. I am referencing the destruction of the potential of all things. This mighty, divine potential that arrived wrapped up in the shape of an infant. When we silence that, ...

Sonja Cox is back today and I am in love with our discussion! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (mormon) sent out new guidelines, teaching the youth of the church how they can know if something is true. It's filled with tactics of manipulation that we see in much of the religious literature across most sects. Sonja and I go through th…

Ellie is here to talk about being raised in an extremely patriarchal arm of Christianity. Women were only there to please their husbands and raise the children in a very literal sense.

Asheley Clark is here talking to us about so many toxic ideologies including the killing of yourself so that God can dwell in you.

Ashlie talks about how conformity at a young age lead to the loss of herself and her light.

Cat came flying in with a particular brand of silencing I hadn't even recognized- how women have been stripped of female friendships. To be honest I thought it was just a me problem.

Seven years have passed since DNA evidence led to William Virgil’s release from prison. A lot can change in seven years — and yet, so much can stay maddeningly stagnant at the same time.

As adamant as police and prosecutors are that they properly handled the case against murder suspect Elwood Jones, a judge is expected to weigh whether Jones can get a new trial in the 1994 slaying of Rhoda Nathan. Elwood’s lawyers accuse prosecutors of withholding key information that could have changed jurors’ minds 25 years ago. See Privacy Polic…

Hamilton County, Ohio, is known nationwide as having one of the highest capital punishment rates per capita – and a recent 25-year study shows that race plays a huge role in determining who’s sent to die. Elwood Jones is Black. His victim was white. If the pandemic had not intervened and last-minute attempts for a new trial put on hold, Jones would…

More than a decade after Elwood Jones was convicted of killing Rhoda Nathan, he learned that a woman had stepped forward saying she knew who the real killer was. Tracking down this mysterious figure became something of an obsession for Elwood’s current defense team. And for us. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy …

While investigators testified at trial that Elwood Jones was always their best and only real suspect in the 1994 slaying of Rhoda Nathan, the police files say otherwise. Three people – two with violent criminal pasts on their records – seem equally as suspicious, so much so they were given lie-detector tests in the days after the murder. Do their a…

Investigating any crime scene requires finesse, but in the case of Rhoda Nathan’s 1994 beating death, at least some of the detectives arriving at the Embassy Suites hotel, many who had never investigated a murder before, thought they were dealing with a heart-attack victim. As such, they say they didn’t immediately secure the scene, allowing outsid…

The prosecutor handling the case against Elwood Jones had some choice words to describe the suspect on national television. In this episode, we explore: Who is Elwood Jones? Was he really an a-hole? Is being one now, steadfast as he is in refusing to cop to the 27-year-old crime? And does being an a-hole also mean he was a killer? See Privacy Polic…

It's funny how we all claim we appreciate feedbacks, but feel bad when such feedbacks are negative. The truth is, most positive appraisals we receive from friends are not necessarily the true reflection of issues, they just don't want to bruise our egos. Anyone who desires to grow and become better in their chosen field must have enough heart to re…

Intentionality, simply defined, is something done by intention or design. Something deliberately carried out or initiated for a reason. The question is, how many individuals on earth are intentional about life... The people they roll with, the words they use, the food they eat, the places they go, the choice of profession, amongst others... All the…
