Episode 56: Mommy Needs Money Murders (Case of Ellen Boehm)
Ellen could hear her 8 year old daughter splashing around in the bath with her barbies. Thankfully her son was fast asleep - another long exhausting day as a single mom.
But what if things didn’t have to be this way? Ellen calmly walked over to the bathroom, plugged in her hairdryer… and threw it in the bathtub where Stacy was playing. Plop.

Book - “Sleep, My Child, Forever” - John Coston
^Please be warned - this is one of the very few books on this topic BUT it includes an immense about of unnecessary body shaming against the real life people they’re talking about… strange.
