Kendra is back this week with the case of Kate Puzey, an exceptional 24-year-old American that was serving overseas in the Peace Corps in 2009 when she was viciously murdered in her sleep.
Four men were arrested immediately but there were a lot of open questions as to what happened and the part that the Peace Corps organization had to play in her death.
Join us as we discuss details around her suspicious death and maybe even question the viability and overall practices of the Peace Corps organization. Are they doing enough to support young volunteers out there in the field?

This week we go to the Louisiana bayou for an encounter with a swamp monster, discuss creepy coincidences on a Maui vacation, talk about a spooky ghost who won’t let a momma and her sweet pup sleep, and contemplate life with a wild tale of someone living two separate lives.

Happy Holidays from Lucid Lab and we bring our gift to you, our listeners, as we review America’s most puzzling case, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.  Kendra visits this hometown case here in Boulder, CO on the 27th anniversary of her death. Are we any closer to solving this case now all these years later? 
Join us as we talk about the Ramsey family background, the investigation and specific crime scene details that will make you question everything. We will get to it all from the bizarre ransom note to the leftover bowl of pineapple. This poor little 6 year old may never receive the justice she deserves or clear answers to what happened that fateful Christmas night in 1996. 
We couldn’t leave any detail out so this will be stretching into 2 episodes but we promise it will be worth the wait! Listen to Part 1 for all the details of the case and listen to Kendra build up the evidence that will tie into all the theories out there. We will come back in Part 2 to discuss all of the various suspects over the years and the many theories that are out there on what happened to sweet JonBenet.

We are headed back to Japan for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, tsunami, and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. It is a harrowing tale of sudden destruction, loss of life, loss of land, and survival. One disaster after another while trying to save half of Japan from becoming the next Chernobyl. Jessica walks us through the chain of events and the state of those areas today, including the many spirits that roam the beaches and coastal towns searching for answers and closure.

This week, Kendra is bringing you the tragic story of a Florida murder carried out by one of the most despicable organizations out there, the KKK. We go into our ugly past here in America that sadly wasn’t all too long ago.
In 1951, on Christmas Day, Harry & Hariette were ruthlessly bombed in their own home. The reason? Because Harry T. Moore had been advocating for the rights of African Americans in his home state of Florida. What was he fighting for? He simply wanted them to be treated as equal citizens in the South with voting rights and equal pay for the same work performed by White Americans. Oh yeah, and could they please stop lynching innocent black men for made-up crimes? Police brutality towards black men was so rampant in Florida at this time and many believed the KKK was actively involved with law enforcement. 
Harry was a brave man who stood up for human rights and was a catalyst for the larger Civil Rights movement that would take off after his death. Let’s honor his legacy and make sure the work he did is not forgotten!__________
