"On July 20, 2026, a body-cam video appeared on YouTube: a young woman, hysterical and seemingly shocked as police placed her in handcuffs. Authorities had allegedly found footage of her sexually abusing and recording a 13-year-old boy in a public restroom, footage she allegedly gave her husband to edit.

Few months later, a young woman named Talia contacted the us after watching a Rotten Mango Episode. She knows the couple personally, for more than a decade... Her story revealed a far more horrifying connection.

This is the case of John and Brianna Nethers, and why it took so long to catch them." - via spotify

Thoughts
Discussion on ptsd and grief and self image--- latter half of the podcast specifically. I wonder if closure is a real thing one can actually achieve. The young woman who wrote in specifically, named Talia, she spends time discussing her experiences with police in pursuit of getting an abuser in prison, how true crime is empowering to her, how one can doubt oneself and experience.
