Summary
A young woman’s body washes ashore in San Diego in 1994, her injuries so severe that authorities initially blame a great white shark. But as forensic details emerge—broken bones, sand deep in her organs, and wounds that don’t match typical shark patterns—the story of Michelle Von Emster becomes far more unsettling. Experts and investigators clash over whether she fell from the nearby cliffs, encountered someone with violent intent, or met her end during a late night impromptu swim. This episode dives into the contradictions, the unanswered questions, and the eerie sense that Michelle’s final night holds secrets the ocean never fully returned.Sources:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-gods-sake-dont-drink-the-jones-juice/id1522302021https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzFeed_Unsolvedhttps://www.thesharkfiles.com/blog/ep-2-sunset-cliffs-updatehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/242693318_White_Shark_Attacks_Upon_Humans_in_California_and_Oregon_1993-2003https://www.podcastone.com/pd/True-Crime-All-The-Time-Unsolved?showAllEpisodes=trueTeresa Colon's Article:https://medium.com/women-writing-memoir/the-roman-catholic-church-raped-my-family-98264acd3e7f Hosted on Acast.
