Juicy Crimes with Heather McDonald

I sit down with Sharon Yitzhaki, a guest whose unbelievable life story inspired a bestselling book and a feature film centered around a 10-kilo cocaine setup. Sharon shares how leaving Jerusalem at 18 for Amsterdam's artistic freedom led her straight into a whirlwind romance with an older man named Ronnie, who surprised her with a trip to South America only to abandon her in Bolivia. After discovering ten kilos of cocaine hidden inside the custom luggage Ronnie bought her, she was arrested at the airport and sentenced to years inside the notorious Miraflores prison in La Paz. Sharon recounts her dramatic survival story, from overcoming cruel hazing to establishing herself as a respected prison leader, initiating romance with a high-profile cartel boss, falling in love with her transgender cellmate, and raising an abandoned baby inside her cell for three and a half years. Finally, she opens up about her harrowing escape on foot to Brazil after facing an unexpected 17-year sentence, processing her trauma through writing, and warning young people about the hidden dangers of trusting the wrong partner. -Go to https://RO.CO/juicycrimes to see if you qualify. -Shop now at https://fabletics.com/juicycrimes to get 70–80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

I’m joined by Emmy Award, winning TV writer, Syracuse professor, and creator of the viral TikTok persona @fittedprof, Taylor Vaughn! As someone who scrutinizes narrative arcs for a living, Taylor brings a fascinating, storyteller’s eye to the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, the heartbreaking Massachusetts case involving a mother accused of killing her three children while allegedly in the grips of severe postpartum psychosis. Together, we zoom out to dissect the trial's most puzzling plot holes, strange timeline gaps, and the internet’s wildest conspiracy theories surrounding her husband, Patrick. From bizarre digital footprints and shifting outfits to the psychological mechanics of true crime narratives, we pull apart the facts, question the official investigation, and explore what happens when real life starts looking like a Hollywood script. -Listeners of our show get an additional 35 percent discount when they go to https://smileset.com/juicycrimes -Go to https://zenni.com/PODCAST and use code PODCAST15 for fifteen percent off your first order, plus free shipping on all US orders over sixty five dollars.
