Shattered Lives Talks with Duane Bowers?

BEFORE you announce to your abuser that it’s over, you are leaving, or you are filing for divorce, there are specific steps you must take to manage your safety. If you do not take precautions, you could end up on a missing persons report or worse yet, your name engraved on a cold cemetery headstone. Joining the show for the hour are two women who are alive today because they planned ahead for safety from their abuse, They will discuss and share the importance of surviving violence in the relationship and by using the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit each of them is out of the abuse and into making plans for the future. By listening to this show you will hear about, not only the violent relationships of these two brave women, but, how each of them did the work twice! Yes, that’s right, they each started doing the exercises included in the Time’s Up book by show co-host, Susan Murphy-Milano, but each of them stopped, went back into the relationship and learned the hard way that some things just do not change.

What does Shattered Lives have to do with the movies? No, not an appearance by Siskel and Ebert! Movies often portray the good, the bad and the ugly side of life, and explain visually the tragic and the hopefullness of mankind. Host Donna R. Gore loves movies, especially those with a “moral to the story” and those which offer solutions and an impact to the message they portray. She is offering up her own brand of review! The Doctor with William Hurt & Christine Lahti Jack McKee is a doctor with it all: he’s successful, he’s rich, and he has no problems…. until he is diagnosed with throat cancer. Now that he has seen medicine, hospitals, and doctors from a patient’s perspective, he realises that there is more to being a doctor than surgery and prescriptions. Great story of loss & grief , identity, marriage (nearly) and a total metamorphosis of how he practices his trade after!

Melissa Cann is Seeking Justice, YOU Can Help! This show is to honor Melissa Cann and her efforts, to find out how she is coping in the aftermath of her loss, and to impart information to the listeners who may also be living in devastation. We hope that listeners will spread the word about who Maureen Brainard-Barnes really was, how much she meant to her entire family, how much she is missed, and to keep her memory, and the memory of all the victims, in the forefront until justice is served. Having to overcome deep tragedies sometimes instills an energy into a person to reach out and help others, often as a way of helping themselves cope. Shattered Lives guest, Melissa Cann, is one such person. Thrust into a world she, and others, were not prepared for, the world of missing persons and surviving a homicide, Melissa has found the support of many other families living the same experience.

Dr. Scott Bonn: Profile of the Long Island Serial Killer: One Killer, Maybe a Seasonal Visitor   One of the high-profile cases making the news is the Long Island Serial Killer. Doc Bonn has been quoted extensively and has written several articles on his blog about his belief that there is most likely only one person responsible for the remains found near Gilgo Beach.   “This guy is meticulous, sadistic and smart. I suspect he’s probably a professional — extremely charming and disarming,” Bonn said. “He’s not going to stop, and the nature of the victims’ lifestyle (the fact that prostitutes often go unreported when they are missing) makes them the ideal prey. For all we know, he may have another dumping ground already.”   Doc Bonn has appeared in several media outlets, newspapers and blogs commenting on the subject that pains and fascinates us all, serial killers. He is researching our nation’s serial killers for an upcoming book tentatively titled “Monster Dearest: Our Fascination with Serial Killers an

  True crime author, Dennis Griffin, and his right arm and inspiration, wife Faith, are the guests for the hour on Shattered Lives. In 1986 their lives were shattered when their vibrant daughter, Kim, was suddenly killed in a car accident. A bright 18 year old, Kim had just graduated from high school in June and was scheduled to enter college in September. On August 5 she went swimming with three other friends at a popular spot about 40 miles from home. On the way home from a day in the sun and fun, the accident happened as they neared the top of a hill. An elderly driver was coming in the opposite direction at a high rate of speed, panicked, and his car slammed into the car that Kim and her friends were riding in, knocking it over an embankment. The driver died at the scene as well as Kim.
