    Copycat (1995)- This 90s thriller pays tribute to the most notorious real-life serial killers in history

    Copycat (1995)- This 90s thriller pays tribute to the most notorious real-life serial killers in history
    Serial killer movies follow a typical approach. Furnishing gruesome murders executed in cold blood, they try to depict sociopaths as those who just can’t help themselves when presented with an opportunity. To make matters even more horrific, these slayings are often committed without any remorse. Luckily, these crazed killers usually have an eye for a particular kind of victim which eventually helps narrow down their profile. But there are films where these serial killers don’t stick to a definite MO and their victims don’t share a common profile either. And for fans of such serial killer movies, today’s Lost and Found is dedicated to the 1995 thriller Copycat.

    BeSimply...Jeremiah Wilber {War Party Ranch}

    BeSimply...Jeremiah Wilber {War Party Ranch}

    Join Jeremiah Blackbeard and Suzanne Toro as they dive into the ‘War Party Movement and War Party Ranch’. Jeremiah shares his story, the cowboy code and his passion for empowering female survivors.

    War Party Movement

    As WPM scales, the Movement intends to take at-risk youth out of their current situations and provide them with real-world experiences with veterans, Cowboys, and Native American communities to offer alternatives to their current way of life. WPM will create our own opportunities while assisting existing nonprofits with their operations by whatever financial or practical means available.
    Although the work originated to support Native American communities, WPM acknowledges that the abuse of women and children is an ever-growing problem. Whether it’s major cities, rural townships, or across the border, WPM will facilitate and fund programs to fundamentally eradicate normalized cycles of social decline.

    War Party Ranch 

    War Party Ranch is a non profit empowering female survivors of abuse by providing fundamental horsemanship, stockmanship, and horse packing instruction, giving women the skills necessary to work in the agricultural, ranching, and horse communities.

    Destination Gacy: A Cross-Country Journey to Shake the Devil's Hand

    Destination Gacy: A Cross-Country Journey to Shake the Devil's Hand

    Going to Gacy: A Cross Country Journey to Shake the Devil's Hand, tells the story of a drive I made cross-country with a pen pal of John Wayne Gacy’s, to visit the serial killer in prison in the weeks before his execution. I originally sold the piece -- my first feature -- to Details. I wrote a draft and faxed it to the editor - this was 1994 - who told me to read Griel Marcus's Dead Elvis and write another draft. I did, during the two weeks I was vacationing with my mother and four-year-old daughter. Every day when they went to the beach, I stayed in a cool back bedroom and taught myself how to write. Just before I faxed in the new draft, my editor decamped for Vogue. The new editor killed the story sight unseen.

    Gacy had at this point been executed, and I was left holding what I thought meant something, or at least meant something to me; that, were I able to sell it, it would get me where I wanted to go. I sent it to Playboy and received a nice (handwritten!) note from the editor but no sale. I sent it to Harper's and heard nothing. It is crude if also accurate to say I felt as though I were hauling the story around like a corpse. Anne Thompson, then film critic for the LA Weekly and a fellow mom at my daughter's preschool, said, "Let me get it to someone at the Weekly." The Weekly wanted it. I went to their offices to copy edit, sitting at a stool by the editor's feet, knowing nothing about how editing worked, so that when he said, "We'll put a drop cap here," I asked, what's a drop cap? I did not have the courage to ask whether the story would be on the cover. The morning the paper published, I was waiting at the newsstand on the corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga. A pile of Weeklies was tossed off a truck. My story was on the cover. I grabbed four copies, went into the alley alongside the newsstand, and screamed.

    Anyone who wanted to read the piece after that time was out of luck. The Weekly was not online in 1994. Gacy had not left the public imagination, and had granted few interviews at length. In 2014, I was glad for the opportunity to add an introduction and see the piece published digitally, under the new title, Destination Gacy. As for getting me where I wanted to go, I wrote for the Weekly until 2010, and have never stopped writing about sociopaths. It was strange fortune to have started with this story, which I read for you here.

    Panel 8 - Part 2 - OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

    Panel 8 - Part 2  -  OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
    Community, sharing, connecting ourselves with others. That's how we elevate ourselves and others around us. As we move out of the "old unsustainable systems" and into the paradigm shift of interconnection, we can reconnect and "recode" ourselves. Out of the wounds of mother-infant disconnect we experience reactions to that wound that lead to negative core beliefs and low self esteem. We know that we are not THE CAUSE of Part 1 of our lives, but we are THE CAUSE of Part 2, the ability to dismantle lies and "code in" wisdom of mind, body soul. As we learned in the last episode, vampires who want to rob us of our LIGHT abound, and sociopaths who want to just "rob" us draw us near so that they can develop what is termed "affinity fraud" and trick us into trusting and investing. The Dark Side of Panel 8 is trusting the wrong people and DE-VOLVE, and the LIGHT side is helping others and ourselves E-VOLVE up the ladder of life. We are all interconnected and can use our caring and sharing nature to help ourselves and those around us to create sustainability inside ourselves, and out there in our community. Today we Shrunk The Tune, "Love Train" by The O'Jays
