212: An Australian Catfish & Domestic Violence

Hate ads? The entire LGTC catalog is available ad-free on Patreon!Kristin starts us off with a catfish…. AUSTRALIAN STYLE!When Davine Arckens was 24-years-old, she set off on the adventure of a lifetime: A year in Australia. She had such a good time that she decided to extend her stay for an additional year. But in order to do that, she had to find work. It didn’t take long for Davine to connect online with a farmer named Max. He claimed he owned a remote farm and he needed a farmhand to help him raise cattle. Then Brandi tells us a story of domestic violence. Camia Gamet crouched down in the bushes outside her boyfriend’s apartment and called 911. She asked the dispatcher to send help to her boyfriend’s apartment. Except, she didn’t admit that it was her boyfriend’s apartment. And when the dispatcher asked who she was, Camia ended the call.And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.In this episode, Kristin pulled from:“Backpacker kidnapped and shackled in abandoned pig shed by madman,” episode of 60 Minutes Australia“Backpacker rapist Gene Charles Bristow, who kept kidnap victim in pig shed, jailed,” by Rebecca Opie for ABC Australia“European backpacker says she felt like a ‘slave’ during two-day rape ordeal in ‘dirty pig shed’” by Rebecca Opie for ABC Australia“Australian farmer Gene Charles Bristow guilty of raping backpacker,” BBC News“Alleged rapist Gene Charles Bristow admits to using fake name,” by Rebecca Opie for ABC Australia“Lawyer for alleged ‘pig shed’ rapist Gene Bristow accuses backpacker of making up evidence,” by Rebecca Opie for ABC Australia“Farmer who kidnapped and raped a Belgian backpacker he kept prisoner in pig shed loses appeal against his convictions,” Australian Associated PressIn this episode, Brandi pulled from:“Camia Gamet” episode Snapped“Broken glass, dented frying pan, busted lamp found near body of Marcel Hill, allegedly beaten, stabbed to death by girlfriend” by Danielle Salisbury, mlive.com“Case manager testifies she warned Marcel Hill of Camia Gamet, the woman accused of killing him” by Danielle Salisbury, mlive.com“The Domestic Abuse and Brutal Murder of Marcel Hill” by Anita Durairaj, Medium“The Camia Gamet Murder Case” Jim Fisher True Crime“State of Michigan v.
