To every service member and family at Schofield Barracks:
Please help me find her name. Her family or friends.
You may have seen something. Heard something. Know something.
Now is the time to speak. Silence protects no one.

Schofield Barracks… I’m coming for you.
I will not let you keep burying women—and their stories.
This must end.

Note: Dana Alotaibi is pronounced Donna. I know this, and made a mistake speaking hastily.
Her story matters. So does this one.

Apologies for the editing errors—this was an impromptu recording. I needed to release it immediately.

Natasha Soto Rivera was a Marine, a newlywed, and a new mother whose life radiated promise. At just 20, she was thriving in one of the most male-dominated branches of the military. But behind the celebration, something darker was brewing.

This episode traces Natasha’s journey—from boot camp to ballroom, through the joy of motherhood to a night that should have been magical-—but wasn’t. Her story deserves to be heard—loudly, clearly, and without apology. We begin to unravel the silence and honor her legacy.

Also in this episode: updates on Ruby Tenorio’s murder investigation and a disturbing case involving a Naval wife found dead in a Japanese hotel room.

Last episode, we mourned the consequences of untreated PTSD. This time, we confront something far more calculated: a story of entitlement, control, and the deadly cost of leaving.

Sergeant Amy Colbert had done the unimaginable—survived war zones, brought daughters into the world, and chosen freedom after years of abuse. Days after returning from deployment, she packed up her life.

What followed was a chilling truth: for some, being left isn't just rejection—it’s justification for violence.

This episode unpacks the story of a devoted mother, soldier, and woman who was finally ready to walk away. It explores what happens when power, ego, and entitlement collide.
