Content Warning:
This episode contains descriptions of extreme violence, including murder, sexual assault, and crimes involving children and animals. These details are deeply disturbing, and while I will avoid sensationalism, the facts themselves are difficult to hear. Please take care of yourself while listening, and step away if you need to. The victims deserve to be remembered, but your wellbeing matters too.
