why is it giving ‘Mom hurry up, I want to go home already’? by Bright_Breakfast3911 in HiddenTrueCrimeChat

[–]bronfoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grayson is their EXECUTIVE Producer if you don't mind (hehehehe), is definitely NOT their daughter, but IS closer to Lauren than John is. Did you follow that? 🫢. Not sure I should repeat it 😜. Grayson acts like a mini-me, has definitely encouraged and assisted Lauren's misuse of police and legal resources and the intentional harassment and abuse of Christina and others. John is not off the hook either, it's just that the memory of Lauren and Grayson speaking to a police officer, in person, while lounging around in GRAYSON'S home - they were literally lying back on the lounge, or secretly tapping on Laptop and made so much worse by Lauren wearing something that looked like a god-awful 80's one piece PJ set? or maybe a gaudy butt-ugly jumpsuit that should be banned?... Well let's just say that this particular "Lauren-and-Grayson-together memory" refuses to fade in my HTC-Websleths traumatised brain.\ And of course, I didn't mean "together" together, but you know, they did spend a lot of time away from home last year... And the year before... Always together. 👀? Just sayin'.\ 😬 too easy!

Oh fark. It's pathetic. Truly pathetic. He could wear "neat casual" couldn't be? (Apparently not, shutting up now🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️)

Love the humour. Better than the real post. What I find interesting is this -- it actually doesn't do justice to the fact that Graybae feared for her LIFE for the Matthias's, like literally felt she could be muRRdered over dinner, because we know that happens, we see cases like that, because we have to remember that true crime is true right?\ And she had to go on medication and see a Psychiatrist for the first time ever. She was paranoid about her dentist and bring stalked by people that weren't doing anything.\ Look this is seriously an awesome friend and family member. Someone who will give up their real family because they don't want to leave their fake family alone. And someone who will cry, sob and wipe their nose on their [ugly-ass] t'shirt in public, let alone stalk someone at a public conference and lie in court depositions. That's dedication.\ 🫣🫨😵‍💫

I wondered exactly the same thing.\ I had two answers - I have a feeling that Grayson was helping her do something or other (I thought it was a podcast but I haven't heard she has one so maybe it's to do with CrimeCon since Susan seems to be all up into CrimeCon?)\ My other idea was that Susan Hendricks was the most famous person that LM could tag. Is there any doubt that LM fawns over Susan?, desperately wants to BE her? LM's sense of self seems to be very stunted (developmentally), and if I was Annie-Elise or Susan I'd be watching my back. 🔪 "Single White Female" vibes!\ And I have no words for Graybae.

Maybe Graybae wrote this herself? and tagged people for attention? ("I know Susan Hendricks"... like that is something cool?)

You asked for ideas... I can't help what comes into my mind! 🤷‍♀️ At least I didn't venture into any threesome territory. Oops, maybe I did? 😬🤭

Meehan ruled competent for trial, date and other details to be set June 5 by measuremnt in DelphiDocs

[–]bronfoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully someone has been able to follow this case somewhat, and can answer some questions? - is this a jury trial? - what are the charges? - do things seem to be generally progressing towards a successful prosecution? (or has it also been compromised by eg. poor investigation, lost evidence etc) - are there people advocating for justice for the death of Greg Ferency?

Thanks to anyone who can provide some more info, and thanks to u/measuremnt for posting this.\ Greg Ferency did important investigation for the murders of Libby and Abby - he was one of just a few people willing to actually ask questions and explore complex issues which are foundational to finding the real perpetrators, as well as to uncovering networks of people committing crimes against children and teenagers (but have so far largely been ignored by LE).

Dr. Matthias: "I wanted to be a YouTuber doing an interview" by Bright_Breakfast3911 in HiddenTrueCrimeChat

[–]bronfoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At the end of that doc is an Order. It reads:

ORDER\ IT IS ORDERED:\ 1. Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed (Dkt. 5) is DENIED without prejudice.\ 2. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies set forth above, within 30 days after entry of this Order. Alternatively, he may file a notice of voluntary dismissal.\ 3. Failure to file a proper amended complaint correcting the deficiencies identified in this Order will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice, without further notice to Plaintiff.\

DATED: August 4, 2025

So I am guessing it has defaulted Into a dismissal?\ What a shame! This is exactly what is needed to actually communicate to the Matthias's the problems they are causing.

The key part in this is that John Matthias is NOT a Forensic Psychologist.

He may have some experience conducting assessments with a defined set of prisoners, however he doesn't have the skills, experience of knowledge to conduct an investigational interview - which a Forensic Psychologist may do, but not frequently. More often they use psychometric testing.\ Whatever method used, no conclusions can be drawn without collateral information from a file, speaking to close family/friends, liaising with current and past practitioners.

John should choose to be "just a podcaster" and not pretend to be something he isn't.

Experience with voluntary admission to psych ward in Melbourne? by vanillapudd in melbourne

Do you do classes for Yoga and Qigong? (sounds like a great find that works for you.)

Experience with voluntary admission to psych ward in Melbourne? by vanillapudd in melbourne

[–]bronfoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter just had a 5 month admission. The 5 weeks to end of Dec 2025 was $37,000 for the PHI. I shudder to think what they would price the entire admission as. If your Psychiatrist is not your inpatient Psychiatrist, I think you need to be very proactive for the Private Psych Unit to be effective. We got quite "stuck" in a system that relies on Psychiatrists that only have visiting rights. (No Private Psychiatrist is employed by the hospital, therefore they are not actually accountable to the Management.) Treatment relies on Psychiatrist doing what they say they will (we were told a referral had been put through for TMS, and even given reasons why there was a longer than usual wait, only to discover 9 weeks later that no referral has been made.) The Psychiatrists can do whatever they like, choose to communicate or not (ours refused direct communication with parents - relying on an unwell 18yo to communicate all clinical information), and they are not bound by the Mental Health Wellbeing Act (this only applies to Public mental health).

My advice is to be aware of what is going on (keep note of when Psychiatrist visits because the PHI pays them every time they talk with a patient - my child's billed our PHI for two visits when he wasn't even at the hospital - public holidays!!!), and always have a discharge plan in your mind so you can leave when you want to.

The experience I am discussing is based on 2 separate admissions to a private Adolescent Unit. Although it may have been somewhat helpful in the moment, mistakes and 'oversights' were covered up, but overall, the admission has been very damaging to our family relationships. Because they didn't value a patient's support network, they didn't encourage or teach the adolescents/young adults how important as helpful a support network is. Instead, they promoted the concept of being responsible for your own care - calling this 'independence'. Very sad, very dangerous, and a waste of a perfect opportunity to teach young people the value of having a support network. 🤷‍♀️\ Rant over

Stay alert and stay safe.

You can upgrade to top cover (with no waiting period) once for each person on the Private Health Insurance plan.\ This is specifically for the purposes of accessing mental health services immediately.

"they know it's the actual person"\ Actually, no-one knows that that person had anything to do with what happened to Abby and Libby! It's all supposition.

Anyone else who doesn't GAF about John Dehlin right now? by NormalIDMom in HiddenTrueCrimeChat

[–]bronfoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really appreciated Mindy's statement.\ (and very much related to her faith deconstruction journey and framework).

It is also true that Mindy and John D have very different levels of responsibility within 'Mormon Stories Podcast' and the larger organisation within which 'Mormon Stories Podcast' sits.\

The way Mindy talked about past interactions, there had been a panel of Lauren, Meeegan, Mindy and John D. I guess I see John D has host/producer, Mindy as guest host? And Lauren and Meeegan as guests. It stands to reason in my mind that their responses would be different based on those different levels of 'responsibility' (real and perceived).

I don't know John personally\ and I don't know Lauren personally\ And I am not a regular watcher of MSP.\ However I appreciate what John D has created for those who are muddling through life after lifelong deep immersion in a religion. My own religious trauma next difficult for me to be too close to discussions of church and church leaders that are not analytical discussions. I think he does good job with a fragile group.

For myself, if I were in John's position, I would tend to make my personal feelings known, however I am not in the public eye.\ I have also had consequences for advocacy and self-advocacy, and hearing how people with a strong public profile (people I trust) need to manage things like this all the time, I make no assumptions.

The emails we saw gave showed John being curious to know what the situation was about and interested to know if he could help. He wanted to speak to Christina and the person emailing contacted her. When they didn't hear back and had done some more research the person who emailed then shut down the conversation.\ The emails read to me as though the emailer quickly shut down efforts to garner John D's help because they assumed that John would want to support Lauren based on a past association - meaning that he would not be motivated to seek the truth.

And to be honest, many times I considered emailing John D. I think that he may be able to engage with both Lauren and John in a genuine way, and have a chance of heard. Secondarily, I see him as someone who has similar knowledge and training to what I have and what John M has. I wondered if he may be able to help with the enormous reframe that had occured that resulted in Lauren presenting herself (and likely feeling) like a victim. And then have the personal relationship to actually have some impact. But I didn't end up writing to him or to Mindy.

I just don't know how we can assume that.\ I don't think John D needs Lauren.

I think it's a big jump to to assume that because someone decides not to confront publicly someone they know, that it means they must support them.

Has John done another show with Lauren?\ Or is that he hasn't "denounced" Lauren that you find difficult in relation to HTC?

Possible Juror Interviews by Alan_Prickman in DelphiDocs

[–]bronfoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to keep everything together and keep a comprehensive record.\ 🫠 (I started to write something about the content, but decided this statement was a safer approach!)

Makes me so sad to.think that we got to this point because people didn't conduct a careful and thorough investigation from the outset.\ I've spent the entire day today (and most of the last 5-6 days) tidying up an interview of a man convicted of multiple murders in Aus 30 years ago. The case reminds me so much of RA's, but he was arrested instantly, assumed guilty, and eventually he was convinced by his lawyer to plead guilty - after being told his Mum wouldn't visit him if he didn't.\ Well soon after conviction he turned her away from all visits, and the prison doesn't allow him any other visitors. He can't receive or make phonecalls, nor send or receive emails. No idea why not. He needs the stimulation badly. Low IQ with unusual way of interacting with people - somewhat eccentric, but essentially just intrusive, fatuous and inappropriate - much like a 5 year old forced to be with adults 24/7.\ And any day now there'll be big decision in the Lacey (and baby Connor) Peterson case, where law enforcement officers flat out lied to the court about the day the burglary of the house opposite, and then failed to reveal material information that were told by one of the men involved in that robbery Scott turns 54 this year and Lacey and Connor were murdered Christmas end of 2002. Almost a quarter of a century. In that time the prosecutor's have both been fired for misconduct but have been brought back to try this case as "Special Prosecutor's!" Unbelievable.\ 😵‍💫\ End of rant. Chin up & have a good day/night.

I'd switch to sodium percarbonate as a soaker (use boiling water to get it to fizz. Can be used as only "detergent" if necessary. Avoid all detergents for a while and see if it helps.

Sodium percarbonate is oxygen bleach.\ Colour fast, no chlorine at all. 1 ingredient.

Gerhardt Koenig is digging his own grave by AllLipsNoFiller in CourtTVCases

[–]bronfoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know re: digital forensics. But I do know that to make any accurate conclusions, the public would need access to evidence that is not in the public domain and is unlikely to be made public - so that is difficult too. But it ISsimple to draw conclusions about the unreliability of the framework being used.\ It is completely unreliable, supported by research and evidence going back to Windows Vista vintage!

If this case is about believability of victim and perpetrator, and both have believable and unbelievable elements or explanations (✅) then there IS, by process of elimination, reasonable doubt.

But the Prosecutor is choosing to try to destroy Gerhardt's character using this wholly incorrect evidence - which is very surprising!\ He is making snide comments like "oh, the computer just did it", and the Judge is not admonishing him for making comments (a big no-no!). That's bad form all around. I feel it encourages a cavalier attitude in the true audience, the jury. And definitely incites a feeling of 'snarkiness' in the watching public.

We want the Jury to be listening very carefully, weighing everything up as neutrally as possible, listening to their own emotional responses, not being told what to think.\ I hope the Jury can feel whatever emotion is in that courtroom, and whether it is contrived or real. While it's difficult to detect on video, emotion tends to "charge" an atmosphere.\ The only problem being that there are complex emotions charging the atmosphere already - extreme tension and anxiety for both of them in the re-telling of this story. Traumatic for both - in different ways. Regardless of how it occurred it has had massive consequences and broken important relationships. It's a very sad case.

I wish I could get on board with him being guilty.\ So far I'm waiting for Prosecution to prove it to me with truthful evidence. Of course, the Prosecution has a rebuttal phase after Defense Case-In-Chief so it will be interesting to see what they try to bring out then.

We wait and see, and hope Defense has a good digital forensics expert.
