252: Seven Deadly Sinners Season 3 Trailer!

4/9/2021
Hey Friends! I'll be back with an update on Be Here for a While soon! But in the meantime if you're looking for content, head on over to my other podcast Seven Deadly Sinners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seven-deadly-sinners/id1515042150 Season 3: Comedian George Carlin once said “may the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.” But what if that evils starts within your most trusted organization, your home...your own family. In Season 3 we are covering some of the most wicked and corrupt cases yet, cases so far reaching that they involve some of the wealthiest and highest levels of society committing the most evil of crimes. These perpetrators are so desperate to keep their sins under wraps, they’ve created a cover up they’ll kill for. Think about it, when religion becomes organized crime you’ve got a group so sinister that the devil is applying for membership. But we are also covering cases that start within the home, small fish with a huge impact. You don’t have to be in power to be powerful....Hey you only need a few people to believe in you to destroy generations of lives. Hell you only need your family to believe in you. In Season 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners host Rachael O'Brien will be covering cases so dark, so corrupt, that she's honestly a little bit scared.

Jill turned her life around and focused hard and eventually got admitted one of the most prestigious colleges in Canada and eventually also law school. We talk about the mistreatment she experienced at her first job, so much so that on 9/11 she kept working out of a fear that she needed to prove herself, despite the fact that the entire neighborhood around her was going on lock down. We also discuss what she learned from that and she gives incredible advice on how and when to stand up for yourself in the workplace. We also discuss a conversation with a homeless man that changed her life.

233: The Disappearance of Rebecca Modrall

9/25/2020
Rachael is joined by Reyna and Marie of the "Those Murder Girls Podcast" to discuss a case that hits close to home. On February 5, 2019, 33-year-old Rebecca Modrall drove to one of the houses her boyfriend, Joe Coker, owned in La Quinta, California. Joe had called her and asked her to come over so he could cook her dinner. Rebecca was seen on camera entering the gated community where Joe lived and her truck was later seen exiting with two people driving it, none of which were Rebecca. That was the last sighting of Rebecca Modrall. Rebecca had plans to meet up with a friend after visiting Joe, but she never made it. Her friend sent her numerous text messages and called her phone, but the messages went unread and the calls unreturned. Rebecca’s family believes they know what happened to her but they wonder if money and political influence have gotten in the way of solving her case. If you have any information about the disappearance of Rebecca Modrall, you are asked to call the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office at 951-955-2450.
