207: An Abduction & a Surgeon

Published: March 23, 2022, 11 a.m.

The out-of-work supermodels really struggled with this episode. Brandi\u2019s case gave her nightmares and Kristin\u2019s case is infuriatingly stupid.\n
\n\nBrandi starts us off with the story of Brianna Denison, who was home from college, hanging out with friends when she was abducted from her friend\u2019s house. Investigators were able to get touch DNA off of a doorknob, which led them to other unsolved crimes in the area.\n
\n\nThen Kristin tells us about Dr. David Stephens, who had an affair with a young nurse named Stephanie Kennedy. When David\u2019s wife, Karen, discovered the affair, she was beside herself. The couple argued. He got in his car to leave, and she grabbed a gun. She ran after him, holding the gun to her head. When she tripped, the gun went off. Karen died a few months later. About a year after that, David and Stephanie wed.\n
\n\nAnd 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.\n
