Ep 226: Sara Sharif: Exposing Family Court Judges Who Give Abusers Custody with Dr Christine Cocciola and Amy Polacko, Part 1
By the time 10-year-old Sara Sharif died, she had suffered more than 25 broken bones - 100 separate internal and external injuries - including a traumatic brain injury. Sara was failed by everyone. The risks were undoubtedly known to the senior judge who presided over all three family court cases and when Sara’s abusive father applied for her to live with him, the judge ultimately sanctioned the order which delivered her into the hands of her killers. How did this happen?
Listen to Laura’s urgent and timely episode which is an exposé of Family Courts with Dr Christine Cocchiola, DSW, LCSW, an expert on the experiences of adult and child victims of coercive control and Amy Polacko, an investigative reporter and survivor turned divorce coach – and you will find out.
Both are survivors of domestic abuse who work with family court victims. Together, they wrote the book, Framed, which shines a light on the dangerous and risky decisions made every day in Family Courts which put children more at risk and frame protective mothers as the problem. This is a call to action.

Ep 224: Hidden Homicide? My Daughter Chloe Holland with Sharon Holland, Part 1
22-year-old Chloe Holland began a relationship with Marc Masterton in early 2022. A year later she would be dead. Before her death, Chloe had reported Masterton for domestic abuse and gave a two-hour video statement to police that led to the 26-year-old's conviction for coercive and controlling behaviour. He was jailed for just 41 months.
Join Laura as she speaks with Chloe’s mum Sharon Holland about how Masterton controlled Chloe and psychologically unravelled her. She now wants to see the law change so men like Masterton are held fully accountable.

Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder
On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.
Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder.
The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past.
But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.
This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers.
From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

To mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women Laura interviews actor, writer and survivor Molly Geddes about her own experience of coercive control, the behaviours and tactics abusers use to entrap victims and her new powerful short film, Where We Stop.

Where We Stop is a much-needed film which will save lives…
In memory of Holly Newton, Emily Drouet, Alice Ruggles, Shana Grice, Hollie Gazzard and Chloe Holland and Gabby Petito who should all have been saved.
