  • Steve Hodel is a brilliant investigator. He solved it and the LAPD definitely covered it up because George Hodel had blackmail on many celebs and those in law enforcement. George did 100's of "backroom abortions" & had the skinny on many through his VD clinic.

    Every show of “I Survived”

    starts with a rape story and ends with a Jesus name drop. Sick of it.

    Why did you allow this Christian shiester on? Andy Peterson is nothing but a prosperity gospel monger running with gimmick. He stands with Charlie Kirk, he stands with misogyny, racism, and hate.
