TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses the difficult topics of rape and child sexual abuse. Please listen with caution.
In June 2005, in the quiet town of Benejúzar, Spain, 51-year-old María del Carmen García walked into a bar, canister of gasoline in hand, and doused a 63-year-old man standing at the counter. Then, she struck a match. Eleven days later, the man was dead from his injuries — and María was hailed as a hero by thousands. Because years earlier, that same man had raped Maria's 13-year-old daughter at knifepoint, and now she was delivering her own brand of justice.
To some, María was considered a dangerous criminal guilty of first degree murder who crossed an unforgivable line by taking a human life. To others, she was a mother pushed past her breaking point, and an admirable vigilante stepping in where the system had failed. To this day, this shocking case remains one of Spain’s most fiercely debated examples of vigilantism and continues to force uncomfortable questions about the morality of vigilantism and when, or if, taking the law into your own hands is ever justified.

TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that this episode discusses the horrific crime of infanticide.
She was supposed to care for and nurture new life, but instead, she delivered death. In post-war Tokyo, Miyuki Ishikawa—one of the most prolific serial killers in Japanese history—was a respected midwife, trusted by desperate mothers and overwhelmed families. But behind her professional smile lurked something incredibly depraved. Over the course of several years in the 1940s, Miyuki deliberately allowed over 100 infants in her "care" to die of neglect, starvation, and hypothermia. Then, she charged grieving parents for the privilege of secretly killing their babies. When the truth finally came out, Japan was horrified, and the case ignited legal reforms that still reverberate today. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

In this episode, I'm joined by special guest Kaelyn Moore of Heart Starts Pounding!
Beneath the glittering facade of New Orleans high society in the early 1800s, Madame Delphine LaLaurie's lavish mansion concealed one of the most gruesome crimes in American history. Behind locked attic doors, enslaved men and women were chained, mutilated, starved, and grotesquely experimented on for Madame LaLaurie's sadistic pleasure. Some victims had their bones reset to take on non-human form, others were flayed, disemboweled, or fitted with crude surgical contraptions.
This wasn’t punishment: this was depravity wrapped in silk and perfumed with civility, masquerading as refinement while it feasted on human suffering. To this day, locals say the mansion is cursed. Visitors report cold spots, disembodied cries, and the faint clatter of chains dragging across the floorboards - echoes of suffering too violent to stay buried…
