16 year old Nex Benedict was a gender non conforming sophomore at their high school in Oklahoma. This month they went to use the bathroom and were attacked by three upper classmen girls resulting in Nex having head trauma. The following day Nex died. This chid did not have to die, but thanks to some irresponsible adults that is exactly what happened.

Oklahoma has been notorious for their anti LGBTQ laws, especially anti trans. Add an anti LGBTQ ultra conservative troll from Tik Tok to the mix and something tragic was bound to happen. This episode also meet Chaya Raichik, the troll behind the Tik Tok account LibsofTikTok which is a social media account that is vile against the LGBTQ community, epsecially trans folk.

An update on Nex's case was provided with permission by V from Under the desk news, a Tik Tok Influencer.

Join C.J. for the discussion of two hate groups...one is TERF and the other is Women II Women ran by Amie Ichikawa.



CALL TO ACTION: Please email or call, below is a sample letter.

Dear Mr. Broomfield, I am concerned that Amie Ichikawa and Woman II Woman is being allowed back into CCWF after previously having been denied. She supports the author of Serial killers in heaven and victims in hell and the light side of serial killers. Victims have been damaged and harmed by her careless actions. She was previously granted a 6 month pass to go into the facility which resulted in her harming victims by promoting the people who killed their loved ones. The person who constantly lets her in is Courtney Waybright, Amie, has proudly put Courtney’s support publicly all over social media. As the Customer Relationship Manager,should she not consider the ramifications of the victims? Please stop Courtney from letting her in. Their friendship should not come before the safety of the CCWF population and should not come before victims rights. Amie also has loudlysupported The Proud Boys by marching with them. And, is touting a dangerous rhetoric against the LGBTQ community. Even going as far as to call for violence against the trans community. After going into the facility she’s done 3 international interviews and many domestic that contain dangerous and violent calls to action. Including supporting contraband in the prison by putting out cell phone photos inside the prison by those she supports. Please stop her from going in on Feb 15th and please provide a 6 month ban.

Professor of Art, Rie Hachiyanagi at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts was obsessed with her colleague and friend Lauret Savoy, Professor of Geology. The night before Christmas Eve 2019, Rie dropped by Lauret's home to talk to her about a recent break up she was going through. Instead Rie attacked Lauret and tortured her for four hours. Rie felt Lauret should have known she was always in love with her. True crime quickie from Australia...the murder of Adam Marriott.

This is a collaboration episode with Courtney of The Book of the Dead Podcast. This episode we cover the death of 20 year old Kaylene Oehling in Etna, Pennsylvania. I, C.J., was contacted by her dad to cover his daughter's case and asked Courtney to help. There's a good chance we know who the killer is, but law enforcement has not made any moves to arrest him yet. And while he remains on their suspect list, their hesitation might be that the suspect is a police informant.
