Lindsay shares her research into the sad story of an abused woman lost to history and falsely mythologized as a monster.

TRIGGER WARNING: This is a very harsh, very sad episode about abuse, racism, mistreatment of women, child loss and a whole plethora of ethical issues which led cryptid nuts, scientists, and even the public to label an abuse victim as not just less than human… but a Yeti of all things! 

We shed light on a very important topic, as we attempt to bring back the humanity to a voice which was never heard.
