During November 2019, I had the pleasure to be a guest on 'The Opperman Report,' as hosted by US investigator and broadcaster, Ed Opperman. The topic for discussion was The Occult Beatles, including John Lennon's relationship with the controversial British Black power activist and 60s counter-culture figure Michael X, Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, the ongoing 'Paul is Dead' claims, the Beatles' early years in Liverpool (and its occult connotations), and The Beatles' relationship with the 60s avant-garde movement, plus more. Please listen to all three episodes for the full experience.

Ian Toten - Atlanta Child Murders

Ian Toten makes a welcome return to the Opperman Report with his deep dive into the Atlantic Child Murders.

The Atlanta murders of 1979–1981, sometimes called the Atlanta child murders, are a series of murders committed in Atlanta, Georgia, United States between July 1979 and May 1981. Over the two-year period, at least 28 African-American children, adolescents, and adults were killed. Wayne Williams, an Atlanta native who was 23 years old at the time of the last murder, was arrested, tried, and convicted of two of the adult murders and sentenced to two consecutive life terms.

Police subsequently have attributed a number of the child murders to Williams, although he has not been charged in any of those cases, and Williams himself maintains his innocence, notwithstanding the fact that the specific style and manner of the killings, which was by chokehold-strangulation, ceased after his arrest.

In March 2019, the Atlanta police, under the order of Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, reopened the cases in hopes that new technology would lead to a conviction for the murders that were never resolved.

But the story goes further, deeper and is even more sinister. And Ian Toten is just the person to get at the root of the stories. It's a terrifying story of abuse and the wilful ignorance of those who are supposed to protect and serve, doing neither.

Tara Rule - Anand Jon Alexander

The case of Anand Jon Alexander is murky and filled with names, some of which are allegedly guilty of the same things. Alexander is serving 59 years to life for sexually abusing teenage models he lured with promises of modelling and more. Needless to say those promises were never fulfilled.

It's the same story as with others; give a hopeful a taste of that world, and as soon as they are inside, deliver nothing but abuse, misery and worse. His crimes are amongst the worst a person can be accused of, so how could he be eligible for parole as soon as 2027? What levers have been pulled, who pulled them and how did he get away with it for so long.

This is a story of subterfuge, betrayal and consequence. But it's also a critique of the Justice System. If victims can't rely on the State to protect them, and seek and enforce the relevant punishments, can any of us feel safe? 16 Felony counts - including forcible rape and crimes against minors should see him serve his full, 59 years in jail.

But after 17 years, a campaign to release him is gaining traction. Why?

Tara Rule is a survivor and an advocate. She will tell this unsettling story.
