This week, the girls dive wicked deep into the tragically complicated and sinister history of the Ladd School, an institution that was built in 1909 in Exeter, Rhode Island with the sole purpose of housing individuals with intellectual disabilities and teaching them life skills to reintegrate them into society. This very decent-sounding plan did not last very long, as for the next nearly nine decades, hundreds of people were subjected to extreme neglect, deplorable living conditions, and lack of basic human rights. This was largely done with the hidden motive of eugenics- the idea of stopping people of "an undesirable stock" from reproducing. In 1994, the Ladd School finally closed, leaving a legacy of haunting memories and deep regret in its place.…

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz talk about the extremely suspicious death of Lori Malloy- a 30-year-old mom living in Rhode Island, who was found naked in her apartment with no outward signs of injury. The scene was bizarre; she was surrounded by slices of bread, there was food and two empty glasses on the table, and the whole apartment was strewn with clumps of hair. Additionally, Lori had these clumps of hair between her toes, in her hand, and around her wrist. While it was previously known that she was sick with some sort of flu, she had not answered her phone for several days and her friends and family were growing concerned. An autopsy was done shortly after Lori's death, only to reveal she died "naturally" of a heart condition that was not originally noted in the initial autopsy report. To this day, the real cause of death of Lori Malloy is still unknown. Lori's now adult daughter, Lauren, is the founder of UnsolvedRI, and she is fighting to get her mother's case reopened and find out the truth behind her extremely suspicious death. Anyone with any information on this case is asked to please call the East Providence Police Department at 401-435-7600, or email unsolvedri.com.…

The perpetrator, Nathaniel Kibby, was caught selling counterfeit money and ultimately returned Abby home to get rid of evidence, so sure that his torture would've kept her quiet. He had never been more wrong.…

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz focus on something horrible that was brought to light in 2002 by the Boston Globe. It involves at least 100 priests in the greater Boston area alone who were continuously molesting and assaulting young boys. When the story broke, it was discovered that this wasn't just a Massachusetts problem- but one that the whole world shares. The movie Spotlight, released in 2015, follows the journalists as they uncover the truth about the Catholic Church in their city, specifically following John Geoghan, a priest who was accused of molesting at least 130 young boys in his career. Not only were the numbers scary, but the blatant covering-up of these cases by the Archdiocese of Greater Boston sparked alarm and fear that remains in the Catholic Church to this day.

This week's episode of True Crime New England involves a tragic double homicide out of Windsor, Connecticut in 1996. 54-year-old Champaben was being attacked by an unknown perpetrator, having her hands and face bound with duct tape, when her 32-year-old daughter Anita arrived. Sensing something was wrong, Anita quickly sent her 2 young children out of the house to safety. It was then that the assailant stabbed Anita 14 times with four different knives and a pair of kitchen scissors. Champaben's body was found covered in gasoline and burned in her bedroom. Anita was found surrounded by a ring of gasoline in the living room/kitchen area. The only good suspect for this awful crime was Jatin Patel: son of Champaben and brother of Anita.

Anyone who may have information on this double homicide is asked to please call the tip line at the CT chief state's attorney's office at 860-548-0606.…
