In this episode, we discuss the SD Card Killer, Brian Smith, tracing his journey from a tumultuous upbringing in Apartheid-era South Africa to the horrific crimes he committed in Alaska. Focused on the tragic fates of two Native Alaskan women, Kathleen Jo Henry and Veronica Abouchuk, we explore the depths of Smith's brutality and question if there may be even more victims. Additionally, we discuss the urgent issue of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) crisis, urging listeners to join us in demanding accountability and action from law enforcement agencies.
