On the morning of August 17, 2021, the emergency room at Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, was bustling with the usual chaos of a busy hospital. Nurses rushed between patients, doctors consulted charts, and worried parents lingered by their children’s bedsides. Then, the doors burst open.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast returns for its second season! Seven years after his release from prison, former juvenile lifer Luis "Suave" Gonzalez seems to be thriving. His career has taken off, he’s in a committed relationship and he’s received public recognition after telling his story on the podcast. Suave always thought once he was out of prison and found stability in his new life, he would finally feel truly free. But freedom, it turns out, is more complicated than it seems. "Suave" is a deeply intimate portrait of a man battling the lingering trauma of incarceration and his search for happiness in the outside world after a near-lifetime in prison. In this season we explore the long shadow of prison.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/morbidology--3527306/support.

But behind his rambling sermons and vacant stare lurked something far more sinister.When his friends and acquaintances began hearing whispers of a horrific crime—one so grotesque it seemed impossible to be true—those whispers soon turned into a shocking reality.SPONSORS - FUM: Head to https://www.tryfum.com/MORBIDOLOGY and use promo code MORBIDOLOGY to kick your bad habit today!PuzzleYOU: With Mother’s Day around the corner, get the perfect gift with a custom jigsaw puzzle.

In the 1980s, Carolands Mansion sat abandoned in the hills of Hillsborough, California. Once a grand estate commissioned by the heiress to the Pullman railway fortune, it had since become a haunted house of sorts. But in 1985, something inside its decaying walls proved that monsters are all too real.SPONSORS -Nutrafol: Start your hair growth journey with Nutrafol.

sometimes I can be proud of our legal system. sometimes it really is a justice system after all.
the quality of the audio clips is really bad... "[narrator]And her uncle opined:" "(noise)".
Jail is not an adequate punishment for people like this. They should be abused and tortured just like their victims!!
Holy shit how many ads does one 40 minute episode need?! this is getting ridiculous
a lot of people with really high potential, who want to go to Harvard, don't get to go to Harvard.
good riddance. and shame on every single one who tried to disgrace every single survivor of trauma and abuse, by using trauma as an excuse and a rationale behind these men's crimes. sometimes judges and prosecutors are apathetic and unethical but this time they did proud. the "time for mercy" indeed. I am so sad and disgusted that the minster had a child and a female penpal.
I'm getting so tired of these people who kill me should instantly kill them as soon as we catch them
Andrew's constant lipsmacking is really getting on my nerves.
I hope he gets his booty busted everyday

04:47⏩ If Riley was born in 2003, she couldn't have been 15 years old in 2015?!🤔
I can tell you why because he's a pervert and he was high on cocaine his little Weiner got hard it's probably been looking at that little girl from the time he started dating her pervert I hope he gets his butt cheeks clap so hard sorry for being nasty but he deserves it now
I pray that you got prison Justice I hope you've been on his knees ever since I hope he had to have surgery on his butthole screw someone like that makes me sick
I remember hearing about this case. I was 21 at the time and it broke my heart then...and now. 😭
