4.9 Cognitive Clarification Part 2 (Refreshed File)

We know that Marsha was a smart, tenacious, loyal woman who’d learned early in life to have faith that God would meet her needs and she could work through problems herself. It is her faith in particular that leads me to follow a new line of academic research today, Cognitive Dissonance, and discuss how it can impact someone in a domestic violence situation.  There's a much larger body of research about Cognitive Dissonance, so I expanded the episode to outline the theory and explain how it intersects with family violence. Next week, we'll dig into Marsha's blogs and take a look at how she dealt with the cognitive dissonance that she was facing in her life, as well as what we've learned about her from friends and family.If you don't want to hear about the theory and early research studies, you may forward to 18:33 to when we discuss how it intersects with domestic violence.Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/Instagram:  @targetedpodcastTwitter:  @targetedpodcastwebsite:  www.targetedpodcast.comemail:     targetedpodcast@gmail.comMerchandise: We have two stores now!https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com      https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcastResources in the US:  Need help?

4.7 Status and Emotional Abuse

My dear friends, I am writing and recording this brief episode after the distressing events on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 in which a group of people – rioters – mobbed the capital of the United States and attempted to stop the Constitutional duties of our legislatures.  I haven't been able to focus on much else this week, so there will not be an episode today.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4106877/advertisement

Peace, My Friends

Marsha Rader Brantley had personality traits that seem contradictory.  Some describe her as fun, while others describe her as private and aloof.

4.6 Victim Profile Part 2

One of the things that drew me to researching the case was the lack of information about Marsha.  In the news reports and 48 Hours TV show, she was a colorless wallflower who was a loner introvert.  In hearing colleagues at work talk about her, though, I hear about a very different Marsha.  She could be fiery, passionate, competitive, and fun. Today, we’ll hear from friends and family as we follow Marsha’s life from childhood through her college years.Thank you to Andie Elizabeth for reading Marsha's Blog.

4.5 Victim Profile 1 - Who Was Marsha?

When Marsha Brantley disappeared in late May or early 2009, no one reported her missing for nearly six months, not even her husband.  In past episodes we established what was going on in her life throughout the first part of the year, hearing from friends and family that she was depressed, dealing with financial crisis, and had stopped interacting with many people.  Today we’ll track the timeline immediately following her disappearance, including her husband's purchases at home improvement stores, and hearing from one of her neighbors as well as her hairdresser -- the one who eventually reported Marsha as missing.Thank you to Andie Elizabeth for reading Marsha's Blog.

Targeted True Crime Podcast

* Please note that early episodes reflect lower production values as we were learning about podcasting on the fly.  While we stand by the content of the first season, we know the lower audio quality or the use of voice actors in it may bother some and you may want to start with season 2  or 3 instead.Since one of my goals is to use academic research to explain what was happening in the Maddux home, the first subject we need to discuss in Ronald Maddux.  How and why did he behave in this manner and why did the mother allow it?  I believe that Ronald fits the profile of a Patriarchal Terrorist, also known as an Intimate Terrorist.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4106877/advertisement

1.3 Patriarchal Terrorism Melisha Gibson

When Tracey met Charles "Buck" Thurman, she was a mama's girl in mourning.  After her mother passed away from lung cancer, Tracey dropped out of school in Connecticut to move far, far away to Florida where she met a cocky young man who wooed her. Buck easily and believably told her he loved her and he was very protective of her. Tracey said that he made her feel safe. The abuse didn’t begin right away.  His protectiveness slid into obsessiveness and his temper edged into violence.  This is the story of his abuse, which culminated on the day Buck nearly killed Tracey while a police officer was present (but did not intervene). *This episode is a frank description of the relationship between Tracey and Buck Thurman, including details of abuse.  Listener discretion is advised   Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1. https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com         2.  https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast   Resources in the US:   Need help?

2.2 Fight for Justice:  I Will Get You and I Will Hurt You

A survivor of abuse once told me, “The more we talk, the more we’re healed, and we see it as history instead of what is still going on.” Domestic violence is not something that happens to only a few people; it’s widespread.  About 35% of women and 28% of men in the U.S. have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Why don’t we know more know about it?  Shhhhhh.  It’s a secret.  People feel shame for their abuse.  They feel as if they’ve done something wrong.  They feel as if they will be judged, and found wanting, if others know about it. It is time for the secrecy to stop.  We can tell our stories, reclaim our power, use our experiences to help, to heal, to demand change in our world.   We’ll begin Season Two with the series “Fight for Justice” about Tracey Thurman, who had to sue an entire city in the 1980s to hold the police responsible for allowing her ex-husband to stalk and attack her despite her requests for police involvement in advance.  Tracey was a young married mother when her husband, Buck gradually escalated from intermittent slaps to deadly violence.  Tracey’s story will help us examine how society and law enforcement might fail targets of domestic violence.    Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1. https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com         2.  https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast   Custom artwork for the Fight for Justice series done by https://www.facebook.com/UnapologeticArtist/  Resources in the US:   Need help?

2.1 Season Two Introduction

Today we are going to hear the story of Jane, a strong woman who first worked to provide her husband with a good life and then worked very hard to get away from him.  Jane is a listener of the podcast who shared her story with me and I asked if she would share it with you.   As you listen to Jane Smith’s story,  I think you’ll be able to chart her love for him, her increasing awareness of his potential for violence, and then his overt abuse.  We’ll be listening to her story in a few parts, with today’s episode only being the first.   Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast   Merchandise: We have two store now!  https://targetedpodcast.threadless.comhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast    Resources in the US:   Need help?

2.15 The Story of Jane (Part 1)

A phone call is about to be made leading to the rescue of 15-year-old Josh Osborn, whose parent starved him and chained him to his bed. His rescue will change the course of the Osborne children’s lives. Over the next few months we’ll examine Josh’s case, feature his history as well as that of his siblings, and using this knowledge to examine how we be better advocates. There is much about Josh’s story that never made it into court or into media reports. You see, Josh was not the only one being abused.    Promos for:    Murderific  The Evidence Locker  Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now!  https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com       https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast    Resources in the US:   Need help?

1.5 The Mother

On November 18, 2015 Monica Nielsen Deming posted on Facebook for the final time. She changed her cover photo to a fall sunset photo of a placid lake, bronze trees, and a solitary dock with the Bible verse John 14:8 inscribed across it.  “If God is all you have, God is all you need.”  Then Monica quietly deactivated her facebook account to try and escape the harassment with which former boyfriend Brandon Leyva bombarded her.  With a week and a half, Brandon shot Monica to death.   The previous two episode we’ve been learning about The Story of Jane, a survivor who is now and advocate for domestic violence survivors.  Jane introduced us to the case of Monica Deming as she is working to pass legislation to protect future targets such as Monica from violent perpetrators.  In honor of Jane, we're turning our focus to Monica’s story.  We hadn’t planned to delve into her death next, but as we prepared to talk about the legislation that is so important to Jane, we realized that we needed to understand the genesis of the proposed bill that is being called Monica’s Law.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4106877/advertisement

2.17 When I Die:  Monica's Law

Last season, one of the most popular episodes was the examination of why Wanda Gibson Maddux stayed in the violent relationship with Ronny. Similarly, I want to examine the same topic with Tracey because I know this is still puzzling to many people. There have been many academic research studies about how targets of violence often undergo a leaving PROCESS rather than just leaving once or twice. The more times a target has left an abusive relationship, the more promising it is that the relationship will end.  While Tracey stayed for a while to try and work on their relationship, she also left multiple times and sought police protection to enforce her choice to leave. We also consider the media messages that surrounded Tracey Thurman and the theme that true love changes people.  Can a seemingly positive message -- that love is transformative -- impact a target's decision to stay in an abusive relationship?     Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1. https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com         2.  https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast   Resources in the US:   Need help?

3.2 Fear of Life

Dealing with a stalker is a confusing and emotional ordeal.  While this person’s behavior makes us uncomfortable and we want to stop it, we often try to let them down gently.  We try to save their face, meaning that we try to avoid embarrassing them.  When that doesn’t work, we try to tell them directly that we are not interested, thinking that a clear communication should do the job. It feels bad, scary, when these basic strategies don’t work, but we’re still worried that we are overreacting.  Today, I’m going to answer some of the questions I’ve received and provide some practical information about responding to stalkers.  None of it is perfect, unfortunately, and there are no easy answers, but there are some steps people can take if they want to assertively deal with a stalker.   Promo: Mugshots https://www.spreaker.com/show/mugshot   Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast   Merchandise: We have two store now!  https://targetedpodcast.threadless.comhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast    Resources in the US:   Need help?

3.11 The Story of Lauren Part 2

When Buck Thurman assaulted his wife, Tracey Thurman for the final time in June 1983, their son CJ wasn’t yet two years old.  After stabbing her and stomping on her, Buck ran into the apartment she was staying in and grabbed CJ, bringing him out to see his mother laying limply in the glass, slowly bleeding out.  Buck dumped the baby on Tracey’s stomach and said, “I killed your F’ing mother.” Although CJ had witnessed many instances of abuse, surely at 22 months old, he was young enough to not be effected by it, right?  *Audio file fixed at 4:40AM on day of release Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1. https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com         2.  https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast   Resources in the US:   Need help?

2.7 Fight for Justice:  What about the Baby?

PAPER

Most of the time when we hear about domestic violence in the news, it’s because something tragic happened.  Usually it’s a perpetrator who assaulted a target, causing extreme injury or even death, such as in the case of Tracey Thurman when Buck stabbed her 13 times and stomped on her while a police officer did not intervene. Sometimes targets will go through the legal system for protection, as Tracey Thurman did, and obtain a restraining order against their abuser.  We don’t hear about the times when the restraining orders work, we usually hear about the times when the perpetrator violates it and causes damage. This brings us to some important questions. Are restraining orders worth more than the paper they’re written on?  Is it wise to try and obtain one?  Or will it just make matters worse? Today’s episode is a Targeted Topic, a stand-alone episode that you can listen to even if you’re not familiar with the domestic violence case we’ve been covering this season.  Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1. https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com         2.  https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast   Resources in the US:   Need help?

2.6 Targeted Topic:  Restraining Orders – Worth the Paper They’re Written On?

Years ago there was a bright young woman named Lauren who graduated with a communication degree from my university.  She went on to grad school and won a scholarship, partly based on a submitted essay.  It began,  “I need to get bread, carrots, and shaving cream tomorrow at the grocery store. Did I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer?”These were the thoughts that were going through my mind the night I was physically attacked, beaten, and sexually assaulted.”Today and next week we will hear the Story of Lauren and how she recovered after surviving acquaintance rape.Lauren's Therapy Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/therapythought/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/website:  www.targetedpodcast.comemail:     targetedpodcast@gmail.comTwitter:  @targetedpodcastMerchandise: We have two store now!https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcastResources in the US:  Need help?

1.6 The Mother II:  Why Did She Stay?

Josh was not the only Osborne child being abused and his sisters tell their story today.  Parts 1 &amp; 2 released together. We can’t change the past, but we can use that knowledge to make better futures.  The story you hear today is that of Toshua Amber and Shelby;  although it ends well, the path they’ve followed is unimaginably sad.  At the end of our interview. Shelby said something profoundly mature and full of hope, "I don't parent the way that I was raised, I parent against the way I was raised." While this was originally scheduled to be a 2-part episode, we decided to release them together as one very long episode.  This means that next week we will not release an episode to get back on schedule. *Trigger warning - traumatic first-hand accounts of child abuse, sexual abuse and animal abuse.  It is handled respectfully, but may be upsetting.

1.4 BONUS Happy Birthday Melisha Gibson

Before the Maddux murder trial began Judge Witt asked one of the attorneys a question in open court, "Don't you realize that everyone, no matter how low and how despicable, has a right to be represented by an attorney?" This question was widely published in newspapers, and sets the tone for the trial that was about to begin.  The Madduxes were low and despicable and while they had a right to a trial, it was really a formality to endure before the inevitable prison sentence occurred.    website:  www.targetedpodcast.com email:     targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @targetedpodcast #2podsADay:  http://www.our-americana.com/2podsaday/ The Punnery: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-punnery/id1243263910?mt=2This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4106877/advertisement
