Hey Cruel Coven!
This episode is rather short and when you listen, we'll explain exactly why. Today, we're talking about the ongoing, unresolved missing case of Mary Johnson—a woman who disappeared from Washington State. Her family is asking if anyone has seen anyone who even slightly resembles Mary, or if they think they may have seen her, to please reach out to investigators. There is no possible lead that is too small. Please help us share the word about Mary and help her family get the answers they deserve.
From the FBI Website:
If you have any information concerning the location of this individual, please call the FBI's Seattle Field Office at (206) 622-0460. You may also contact your local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.Sources:

Hey Cruel Coven!
Well, hello. We're back from our hiatus and we've changed a lot of the way we'll be going about recording future cases. Today we're talking about the Jelani Day case. The two of us are from about an hour away from where Jelani was last seen and we were shocked that it wasn't all over our news and being talked about, so we decided to do the best we could to bring this case more traction. Please listen and share so we can help find this family some answers. They also have a GoFundMe that is linked below.
We're also talking briefly about a woman named Lauren Smith-Fields. Her gofundme is also listed below. Please consider sharing Jelani and Lauren's info to help these families get the justice they deserve.
Jelani's gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/find-jelani-day
Lauren Smith-Fields gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/xf665j-justice-for-lauren
If you know anything about what happened to Jelani, or had contact with Jelani in the days and weeks before his disappearance, please contact Bloomington Police Detective Paul Jones at (309)434-2548 or email him at [email protected].
JAB Professional Services has also been hired to assist the police. Information regarding Jelani’s disappearance can be emailed/texted to [email protected] 618-223-0044
Anonymously report information to the Jelani Day Joint Task Force at 1-800-CALL-FBI
As of now, Jelani’s family still says they haven’t been contacted by the FBI and they’re still pushing for them to take over Jelani’s case.

Hey Cruel Coven!Tori is doing a deep dive into all things Tony Todt. Tony is accused of murdering his entire family...his wife, Megan, and all three of his children, Alec, Tyler, and Zoe. Even the dog, Breezy. Yep. Authorities said he confessed while under suicide watch at a hospital, but Tony is now adamantly denying it and placing all of the blame on his deceased wife. There's a lot more to this story and we hope you'll listen. By a lot more we mean, Medicare fraud, a 27-page handwritten letter from Tony to his father, oh...and the fact that his father was convicted of a murder-for-hire plot against his own wife, Tony's mom, Loretta. As always, this episode has been recorded with the intention to shed light on a horrible event. We want to make sure that our listeners know that everything we say is meant with complete respect to those who had their lives taken and those who loved them. To the family of Megan, Alec, Tyler, & Zoe...our hearts go out to you. You have suffered an unthinkable tragedy. We are so sorry and should you see these words or hear this podcast, we hope this episode does your family justice. K Love youuuu, bye!Sources:CafemomMyflfamiliesCourantYoutubeNBCCelebration's WebsiteWikipediaThe Day (Looking for the Todt Family Podcast)*I got so much of my information from listening to the 10 episode series, Looking for the Todt Family. Sten and Taylor were phenomenal and I highly recommend listening to their podcast. It is so incredibly well done and a lot of this information you will hear in this episode was found because of them.

Hey Cruel Coven!Marsha P. Johnson was such an incredible force. She was an advocate, a leader, and a visionary of the LGBTQ+ community who stoped at nothing to be treated equally. Today, Tori will be telling you about her life from the very beginning....when she was born Malcolm Michaels in New Jersey and assigned male at birth....all the way to becoming a self-professed drag queen, being photographed by Andy Warhol, protesting at the Stonewall Uprising, and tragically, about her unfortunate death in 1992. *Yeah, that was a big-time run-on sentence. Sorry about it. Marsha is worth it. K! Love youuuu, bye!

Hey Cruel Coven!
Today, Tori is going to be informing you about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a 100-year-old event of mass chaos, murder, and destruction in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From May 31st of 1921 through June 1st of 1921, an angry white mob descended on Black Wall Street in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, a thriving community founded and built up by Black business owners. What unfolded during those hours was complete hell for the entire Black community. Please listen today, because chances are, you've never even heard about this awful period of history that is still affecting the Tulsa community to this very day.
K. Love you. Byeee.

Episode 58: Peter Nygard
Hey Cruel Coven!
Hey Cruel Coven. Today I (Tori) am going to be doing a deep dive into all things Peter Nygard. Spoiler alert....this dude is vile. Vile VILE VILE, I tell you. Anywho, Peter Nygard is a Canadian"fashion designer" who climbed his way to the top (if the top is owning an estate in the Bahamas, that is) from the very, very bottom.
The mistake he made along the way was assuming the women that he violated, sexually assaulted, and tried to pay off would never come forward with their survival stories.
Today I'm telling you about the downfall of this despicable human and why he should rot in jail until the last breath of air leaves his lungs WOW OKAY I NEED TO GO BECAUSE I'M CLEARLY GETTING HEATED. *Everything is an allegation because no charges have been formally placed upon Peter Nygard. But I think you can guess where I stand.
K. Love YOU. Bye!

Episode 56: The Wrongful Conviction of Timothy Brian Cole
Hey Cruel Coven!
Today Tori is sharing the story of Timothy Brian Cole, a man who was wrongfully convicted of raping Michele Mallin in March of 1985. He was labeled as the "Texas Tech Rapist" and many, even some of his own family members, believed he committed the crime. His closest family members, including his mother, Ruby, knew that Tim would have never done such a disgusting, vile act, and stood by him.
It wasn't until Timothy had died of an asthma attack while incarcerated, serving a sentence of 25 years, at the age of only 39, that the real rapist came forward. Tim's mom, Ruby, said she wished for only one thing...that people would never forget what happened to her son. I felt it vital, after hearing this, to share his story as told by his brother in the documentary, The Long Road to Justice: The Tim Cole Story.
K. Love YOU. Bye!
