Missing transgender man was tortured for over a month and killed in Finger Lakes Five men and women have been charged with his murder in Canandaigua, State Police announced Friday.

Sam was tortured and ultimately murdered by five people. Five! This is just one of the reasons I’m terrified to stay in the US. This was a #HateCrime and I hope that the perpetrators are charged as such. They robbed Sam of his dignity and his life.

#TrueCrimeFacts #Virginia In 2022 there were nearly 200 incidents of #HateCrimes with 166 victims reported. This is a 48% increase from the previous year. 64.6% were racially or ethnically motivated while 21.5% were due to bias against sexual orientation.

We have to do better Virginia.

The Doucheface McNaziHand comment definitely got my attention. Gotta check out your podcast now. :)

Has this book been translated into English? I would love to read it.

Fellow podcasters, do you find it’s easier to work on and release an entire season or just focus on one episode at a time?

I found this out last night! You’d think that one of the most infamous cold cases in history would get a little more recognition when solved.

You know shit is wild and chaotic when the literal identity of Jack the Ripper was found 2 weeks ago and didn't get any mainstream notice smh. His name is Aaron Kosminski. #jacktheripper #truecrime #coldcase

This is unacceptable. It is bullying and just another attempt to erase LBG and especially T children from society. Contact your local representatives today, if we don’t fight this there will be no future for these children that go missing.

Wow! I definitely need to do some research on this myself. If this is legit, just think of how many other crimes could potentially be solved!!

Never give up hope. This case shows that despite the odds against you, you should never give up the pursuit of justice and truth. My heart truly goes out to Ellen's parents not only did they lose their daughter, but they've been fighting for years for justice.

Absolutely! I've always thought this comes down to the argument of nature vs. nurture. Are criminals born with a genetic variant that causes them to act outside of the rules of society or are they manipulated through life experiences?
