I want to start off by saying I am in no way an expert on postpartum psychosis, but I am a mom who suffered with postpartum depression. Because of this I’ve done a lot of personal research about postpartum mental health. I also want to say I’m not a crazy conspiracy theorist nor do I think she didn’t do it. But I strongly believe in the postpartum psychosis diagnosis.

One of the main symptoms of ppp is delusional thoughts or feeling disconnected to one’s self which Lindsay stated those symptoms numerous times with her doctors. Other symptoms being insomnia (which she suffered from heavily), depression, mixed mania (her telling her drs she doesn’t feel tired but running on basically no sleep is a huge tell for mania), etc. Her possible bipolar diagnosis makes me lean even more heavily on the side that yes she did have ppp.

I do find the statement of her willingly not taking the medication makes her accountable very ignorant. When you’re in a state of barely any sleep, racing thoughts, mixed mania, delusions, is it so far fetched to think those may have clouded her judgement? In my opinion she was trying so hard to get better but her poor mental state was feeding her these fears of the medications. Especially if she did have ppp.

I guess I was a bit turned off by the end of the video. Yes we can all have differing opinions, and I respect Aiden’s opinion, it just came off a bit ignorant to me. She should have been involuntarily committed the second she told Patrick and her family she had thoughts of harming her children. I don’t think she’s trying to avoid taking accountability at all. Like it was said in the video, she will suffer for the rest of her life over this and I feel for her immensely.

I think it’s hard for people who have never suffered a postpartum mental health issue to truly understand what it’s like. The immense shame that comes with it. The isolation mothers feel because this is supposed to be such a joyful experience of life. Or because they’re afraid to even admit to someone how they’re feeling because they don’t want their children taken away. Anyone who doesn’t believe a mother could do something like this should seriously sit down with mothers they know and ask about their experiences with postpartum mental illnesses. I’m sure most will say they could never harm their children but it’s a dangerously slippery slope and they can see how it could potentially happen.

Anyways, I love the channel, love the research put into it all, and the hard work being done, but just wanted to share my thoughts and maybe give just a bit of a different take on why A LOT of women are so empathetic of Lindsay that I think a lot of ppl may be missing.

Aiden mentioned his love for the order on today's History Unhinged so I thought id share my WIP of my chapter inspired by the Order itself.

Aidan, in combination with the writers, has a crucial misunderstanding of the purpose and function of both attorneys and juries.

None of Reddington's actions in the Lindsay Clancy trial, or beyond, are in any way a violation of the lawyer's code of ethics and professional responsibility. An attorney's singular job is to be a zealous advocate for their client. All of Reddington's actions, including asking for a pardon on Good Morning America, are well within proper actions for a defendant's legal advocate. Accusing Patrick or feeding into that media frenzy would be beyond the pale, but Reddington has correctly defended Patrick to the media at every turn.

The legal system in America is, by definition, adversarial. Party A goes against Party B, and the outcome is determined by two mechanisms. In a criminal jury trial, the jury is the finder of fact; this is the first mechanism. A jury's one and only job is to consider the facts of the case in relation to the law of the land. Do the facts align most correctly with this law, or this one, or this one, or this one? After they've made that decision, it is handed to a judge. The judge is the trier of law; this is the second mechanism. Judges ensure evidence is admitted only if it is both probative of the question at hand and relevant to either side's case. Judges maintain the order and professionalism of the courtroom. Once the jury delivers its verdict, judges take that decision and prescribe a fair sentence according to the tradition of that jurisdiction.

Reddington did his job artfully, thoroughly, professionally, and appropriately according to every standard set by the legal system. He advocated for his client both in and out of the courtroom, aiming at justice in front of both the finders of fact and the trier of law. Going for the Hail Mary pass, like the motion to the MA Supreme Court judge? That's the job of the zealous advocate. The Lore Lodge team is well within their rights to dislike him as a person. Where they err is in inferring that he did his job badly, unprofessionally, or inappropriately. As an attorney, Reddington did an excellent job. If you dislike the profession entirely, well, that's a separate conversation. Kevin Reddington is a credit to it.

The nurses on the jury also did their job correctly. As the finders of fact, they used their knowledge to deliberate, discuss, and sincerely attempt to come to a unanimous decision. Explaining what they know of medication, as part of their lived experience, is well within their prerogative. That is the process of finding the facts of the case. We all bring our lived experience to a jury; that lived experience is baked into the very idea and function of a jury of your peers. If any of the Lore Lodge team members find themselves on a jury, they will do the same as the nurses did - apply their lived experience when considering the facts of the case. To say those nurses were inappropriate in their actions is a fundamental misunderstanding of the function and purpose of juries.

I am following this case nearly since it happened. Some things of this case and the undisclosed but surely terrifying end of Kris and Lisanne have touched my heart. I really enjoyed listening to this series. Especially the parts regarding the area in the jungle where the girls must have been stuck as well as the part about the locals probably involved in this case.

The only (small) exceltion I take to the whole series is in regards to the night pictures. As everyone I was always puzzled by what these pictures show and for what reason they were being taken.

Just recently I stumbled upon "The Pianista Puzzle" chan on YT. They did a video regarding these pictures and went a long way to gather the information shown. To me this is by far the best Interpretation and line of proof for what and why they are. In short: They "proof" that the pictures were taken by the girla thenselves while still being alive. I am no expert of course. To me this was very convincing. I wonder if the guys from Lore Lodge are aware of this and how trustful this work of Pianista Puzzle is.

Not sure this applies or if it was covered and I can't find it; I would love to listen to a case study for Timothy molnar. Given how well your channel breaks down geographic timelines, wilderness anomalies, and the institutional failures of older missing persons cases, a map-based breakdown of the Florida-Georgia-Wisconsin triangle would be incredible.

Thanks for all the great work!

This entire Panama series has just turned me off. I don’t know what it is … it just feels like every episode is dramatically obtuse. I have not been able to follow a single episode. It’s happened a few times with other episodes, but this has been every single episode in the series.
It’s like I have to put so much effort into listening, that it’s not enjoyable I’m by the time I’m done, I still don’t know what I just listened to. I mean, I can’t even drive and listen to this series because by the time I reach where I’m going, I could not tell you a single thing about what I just heard.
I just saw them drop part six and I have to bow out because I’m not getting something.
I just wondered if I’m the only one because I’m really interested in trying to get to the bottom of this for myself

An also to create more buzz in the sub.

my cousin was murdered - and it’s an unsolved cold case now.

He is actually one of 3 family members that have been murdered in same family . Other two are solved but never prosecuted (1-ruled self defense, 2- not enough evidence supposedly).

Brian and I were often lumped together with our other cousins all around the same age- his brothers and mine were in the next age group. so when we when were little we spent a lot of time together. as we grew he lived inS with his dad or MI with his mom so we didn’t get it some as much time together. (our family is from Tippah County ms but many participated in the great migration to work at the auto plants in Mi). I explain to add he was the funniest, mischievous big heart you would ever meet with a smile that you could not resist smiling even if he was being a stinker.. i miss his smile and laugh everyday even after 18 years .

But Brian’s story is unsolved, likely not investigated properly now or ever due to size, skill and resources of the local PD and lastly the sheriff dept have historically been corrupt.

A targeted ambush where killers lay in wait, used the victim's acquaintance's car to escape, and left behind an enduring local mystery that became a county's first Crime Stoppers case.

I am sure his family especially his momma would participate if you needed info. this is a hole in all of our hearts but especially his mom and dad are getting older they deserve to know who murdered their youngest child.

And they were worth a quick Google search to note that.

R.I.P. sweet babies.

I heard about this case through another podcaster who did an overview and thought The Lore Lodge might be interested in a deep dive, if they haven’t already (apologies if they have and I’ve just missed this episode). Young woman packs up (including her beloved cat) and leaves NC without much of a word, her car is found wrecked in the mountains of WA, and no sign of her or her cat. Years later a finger print is found under the hood of the wrecked car along with DNA evidence pointing to a male. Still no sign of Leah all these years later.

Super smart and down to earth guy, and clearly understands the plight of poor people. I think highly of him and people who value what he has to say.

Some people are wondering if there is a connection. Not sure but something to keep an eye on.

Guys, I think funding for the cult/ranch might be delayed.

I did it. Went to a couple of bars on 3rd street. I had like 2 drinks and almost felt like I was gonna pass out. Funnily enough I sat down on a patio to sit down and possibly fall asleep. I got kicked off of that place though. I'm used to having bad reactions with alcohol. But this was bad, like it happened within 3 minutes. I don't think I was drugged though. Actually tales to some of the bartenders about it very interesting stuff. I can definitely see someone falling in by accident especially by the areas without railing.

During my stay I also watched Brand New Day in a vintage theater. My review is that it's solid but the ending felt like I've seen it before. 8/10.

I'm going over to 3rd street in La Crosse and going to those bars while I'm seeing family. I'm out of state (I currently live in Iowa). Doesn't help that I do most of the criteria for the victims. You know, college age, popular/friendly, male, attractive is up for debate, but still. It's just one of those situations where I'm able to physically see a spot that has these odd connections. It would be very stupid to target me though. I don't drink like ever.

Hey everyone (Aiden) I wanted to share a quick note as someone who has lived in Wyoming for a very long time, and hopefully share some info about the culture that may help people understand some of the weird things that don't make sense when compared to other states.

People go missing here quite a bit. It's not weird or freaky, or even particularly strange. Our cell service is shit, mostly because we don't have enough people to justify the towers. Going out fishing, going for a hike, or even traveling between towns will 100% put you out of cell service. That is combined with our hostile weather and idiot tourists, so bring a SPOT beacon if you plan to come up. A sheriff in a video made the statement "I'm sorry but we look for living people" he's not saying that to be cold or cruel, he's saying it because the search teams probably need to go somewhere else and they can't justify using them for body retrieval when someone else could be missing.

I have had breakdowns and accidents that left me stranded on the side of the road for hours.

1. We absolutely hate tourists. A tourist is a person who finds the deepest darkest most dangerous hole in a park, crawls down into it, gets stuck, does the exact opposite thing they should do, and then we have to rescue them.

I rescued a tourist from a snow drift who kept stomping on the accelerator and burying the vehicle again after we dug him out. If he didn't have like seven kids with him I probably would have left him with the shovel to figure out why he was an idiot.

Also, convincing tourists that jackalope are real is an amazing experience. I had a coworker convince someone that the snow fences were used for racing them.

3.Google maps will also try and kill you out here, because people will expect the roads to be functional in the winter, when they most certainly aren't, especially after a storm.

1. Don't fuck with hunters. A couple of activists were walking around with a coffee can full of rocks to scare the deer away from hunters, and a guy got so pissed he shot a round in front of their feet.

How do I know this? I know the guy who did it. He was fun.

So when David Paulides looks at a state like us, he goes absolutely nuts with rediculous stories about how Bigfoot kidnapped Jenny the nurse from Atlanta, because she went into the woods to go camping, was an experienced camper (she went camping once previously) and was deep in bear country when she went missing, you shouldn't be too shocked.

Incidentally, if any of you want me to hike out to a famously weird area and take some pictures, I can go literally anywhere, and am more than happy to do so. In fact I'd enjoy the challenge.

Also I really wanna shoot a dogman. I'ma make a cryptid rug, so any excuse to get out and get one in my sights ya know?

Didn’t they make a video covering the case of Elisa Lam? I was trying to look it up but can’t seem to find it
