from Perplexed Podcasts · host Kate & Sarah

Send us Fan MailJeni Haynes is a remarkable woman who survived years of horrific abuse at the hands of her father by developing over 2,500 distinct personalities—a psychological defence mechanism known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). These alters, ranging from a tough protector named Muscles to a little girl called Symphony, helped her endure the unendurable. In a landmark legal case, Jeni and several of her alters bravely testified in court, leading to her father’s conviction and a 45-year prison sentence. Refusing to be defined by her trauma, Jeni went on to earn a PhD in criminology and psychology, wrote a powerful memoir (The Girl in the Green Dress), and became a voice for survivors of abuse. Her story is not just one of survival—it’s a mind-blowing triumph of resilience, intellect, and the extraordinary ways the human brain protects itself.  Support the showThank you for listening.

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
