Episode 209
Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 01:10:19
On the three-year anniversary of 22-year-old Gabby Petito’s murder, Laura interviews Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s mother.
In this episode, Nichole shares what Gabby was like growing up as well as details about Brian and Gabby’s relationship and what she now knows to be the red flags.
Gabby was reported missing on September 11 2021 after her 23-year-old fiancé, Brian Laundrie, returned from a cross-country road trip without her on September 1 2021. Instead of speaking with Gabby’s family, the Laundrie family chose to lawyer up.

Ep 110: How to Save a Life with Hetti Nanton, Part 3
Episode 110
Tuesday, January 10, 2023 • Duration 01:00:17
In this episode Laura is once more joined by Hetti Nanton, Joanna Simpson’s best friend and chair of the national domestic violence charity, Refuge. In the aftermath of Jo’s brutal death, and following the previous in-depth interview, Hetti had lingering questions she wanted answered including, as Jo’s best friend, why didn’t she know Jo was at risk? Why didn’t she know the risks were escalating? Why didn’t she convince Jo to protect herself?
In this authentic and honest conversation Laura answers those questions through the lens of Jo’s case, deconstructing the at-times hard to spot coercively controlling behaviours as well as highlighting what can be done to help a loved one who might be in a similar situation to Jo.
Laura is frequently asked how to help someone who is being abused and oftentimes in the wake of a murder, family members who have met Laura say, ‘if only we had met you before.’ This episode is an important listen. It might just save a life.

Ep 106: The Los Angeles Harvey Weinstein Trial with Louise Godbold, Part 1
Episode 106
Sunday, December 11, 2022 • Duration 58:59
Laura interviews Louise Godbold, a survivor of Harvey Weinstein who came forward in October 2017. By this time, Louise had already been a trauma specialist for nearly a decade and is the executive director of the non-profit Echo. Echo provides trauma and resilience training for families, communities and professionals and organizations.
We discuss the LA trial, which has received little media attention, including the tactics used by Weinstein’s defense team. We also breakdown the defense’s strategy and how it mirrors the perpetrator’s behaviour.
We spotlight the tired and worn-out narrative that women who disclose sexual abuse are liars and attention seekers who want fame and fortune and where these tropes come from. We also discuss why the term “accuser” should not be used for victims of sexual and domestic along with defense expert Elizabeth Loftus’ damaging ‘false memory’ narrative regarding trauma victims. There’s a lot at stake with this trial. Join us as we unpack all the latest on this case. Listener discretion is advised. We discuss sexual abuse in graphic detail.

Ep 105: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 1
Episode 105
Tuesday, December 6, 2022 • Duration 52:52
Laura interviews Diana Parkes, Joanna’s mother and Hetti Nanton, Joanna’s best friend and chair of the national domestic violence charity, Refuge.
Joanna Simpson was brutally killed on October 31, 2010, by her ex-husband Robert Brown a British Airways pilot, one week before their divorce would be finalized at the High Court. Brown dropped the two children home. He took a claw hammer with him and bludgeoned Jo to death, hitting her at least 14 times.
At Brown’s trial, the court heard how he bundled the children into his car and wrapped Jo’s body in plastic sheeting he had brought with him along with a white overall suit. He placed her in the boot before driving to Windsor Park where he had already dug a grave and put down a makeshift coffin.
After nearly 15 hours of deliberation, the jury cleared Brown of murder. He was convicted for manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility and sentenced to 26 years, the maximum sentence allowed. He will be released after serving just 13 years in 2023.
Listen as we discuss the case, the events leading up to Jo being brutally killed, the details about how Jo was killed and what happened afterwards in terms of Brown’s post offence behaviour and the trial. We discuss the prosecution’s case and how the family were treated both inside and outside court.
Laura also shares critical insight about the case and Brown’s mindset, which she has seen repeatedly amongst men who kill their former or current partners. This insight is essential if we are to prevent murders in slow motion like Jo’s and effectively prosecute men like Brown.
Trigger warning: This case is upsetting, and it may be triggering. Listener discretion is advised. Let us know your thoughts on social media or via the Crime Analyst website.
