Lucid Lab Podcast

Arpana was a beautiful, talented, wildly smart 24-year-old living her best life in Redmond, Washington. She participated in an apartment-wide Halloween party with other residents in 2008. This fun night ended in her brutal murder. The question still remains today, 15 years later… Who did it? One person was charged with her death, but he was acquitted, and for good reason. But why is this case so hard to solve? The answer is multi-faceted - DNA, racism, shoddy police work. You name it! There was a plethora of trace DNA with no strong matches, but we think we know who the perpetrator is. And we think you’ll agree! Join us as we go over all the possibilities and join us every Tuesday this month for Halloween-related stories!

Let’s go way back this week to the unsolved mystery of Roanoke Colony. This was to be the first place for English immigrants to settle into the New World of America back in the late 1500s. Over 112 men, women and children took the long journey over for a new start, far from the religious persecution they faced in England. Unfortunately, it would not be the land of milk and honey they had been sold from those who traveled to the Outer Banks islands before them. 
They would be left to fend for themselves after what seemed to be an act of sabotage. Long story short, the colonists ended up on the island of Roanoke where they faced scarce resources, tensions with the local native americans and no way to leave. Their governor, John White, left to advocate for help and when he returned 3 years later, it was as if they never existed. All the settlers had vanished without a trace. The only clue left behind? A carving in the tree which read Croatoan.

It’s December 1996 and Juli just finished all her classes at the University of Oklahoma for her bachelor's degree in dance. Her parents are on their way up from Arkansas to help move her back home before Christmas. She said goodbye to all her friends and helped her roommate by driving her to the airport early in the morning. Juli goes missing. Her parents show up and quickly her missing case turns into a homicide case, when her body is found later that day. Fast forward 8 years and Anthony Sanchez is found guilty of the crime. But is he responsible? Anthony is scheduled to be executed on September 21, 2023. We discuss the tragic murder of Juli but also the evidence presented that put Anthony on death row. You decide. Is he innocent or guilty? If he is innocent, another young life will be lost.

Join us this week as we explore Germany’s most famous cold case, over 100 years old! The chilling murder of an entire family, including 3 adults, 2 children and their maid at the Hinterkaifeck farm via pickaxe horrified this otherwise peaceful area in Bavaria. 
Kendra will discuss all the wild details in this case along with various theories that are out there for who did this unspeakable act. Who would have been cold blooded enough to take out an entire family and then stay around for several days on the farm, tending to the animals, cooking dinner and living inside of their house!?!

It’s our first cult story! Welcome to The Family! The Family, or The Great White Brotherhood, is a woman-led doomsday cult founded in the 1960s in beautiful Australia. It is the twisted story of Anne Hamilton-Bryne, who gained too much power way too fast and destroyed all the lives of those who followed her. Especially her precious children. She was the Messiah, and her children were to educate what was left of humanity after the apocalypse. She was selfish, vain, and evil. And her Aunties were not the type of Aunties you would want to raise your children. Listen in to hear all the sinister details. There is a reason some consider her to be one of the cruelest people to come from Australia.

High in the Sierra Nevada mountains and about an hour drive from Yosemite lies a town that time has forgotten. Bodie, California was once a thriving boom town and home to over 10k people back in the height of the California Gold Rush. It had quite a reputation for lawlessness, daily gunfights and a high amount of bad luck overall. Some would say it was a hard luck town born under a bad sign. So much in fact, that even today, there is a curse still hanging over Bodie. 
You can visit this town, it is a designated California State Park but beware taking back any small souvenirs from this ghost town. There are many stories of the bad luck that comes to those who steal from the ghosts of Bodie…
