It has everything that you would think a bayou would have: bogs, marshes, and a very prehistoric kind of feel. Locals, as well as visitors, flock to the area to hit the water and see what kind of goodies they can reel in but sometimes the things that they catch on the other end of the line, is something no one would expect or want. That is exactly what happened, when a couple out for a day of fishing, reeled in a ghastly sight: a body part. Authorities rush to the scene and what they would uncover would only leave more questions and unveil a hidden sect of people whose strong beliefs include anti-government but does it also include murder?  This is the story of the Kehoe family.SourcesSplcenterWikipedia"Killings Illuminate Culture of White Supremacists".

Victims of Injustice: Black Lives Matter

As podcasters, we have a platform and duty to speak up and call out injustice. In light of the murder of George Floyd, we have come together in solidarity to use our platform to speak up against racial injustice and amplify the voices of black podcasters that deserve more recognition. Racism is prevalent in all industries; from the media who under-report on black victims to the justice system which routinely fails black victims. In this collaborative episode, we document black history and current events with the voices of those who have lived through it.Special thanks to: Tasha from Sinister Silhouettes https://linktr.ee/tcbytb Andre and Battle from Bruh Issa Murder https://linktr.ee/Bruhissamurder Serena from Handcuffed Podcast https://linktr.ee/handcuffedpodcast Aaron from True Crime?
