In 1981 Brookfield, Connecticut, an altercation ended with Alan Bono losing his life—and a courtroom battle followed that tried to introduce demonic possession as a legal defense. We trace the full timeline: 11-year-old David Glatzel’s reported afflictions, the involvement of Ed & Lorraine Warren and multiple clergy, Arne Cheyenne Johnson’s alleged transference challenge, and Judge Robert Callahan’s decision to bar possession evidence at trial. We also examine alternative, earthly explanations—including the Sominex (diphenhydramine) theory—and how side effects might mimic “possession” in a child.

What you’ll hear

• Verified timeline of the Brookfield case and trial strategy
• Priest involvement, alleged exorcisms, and the Warrens’ role
• Why the “Devil Made Me Do It” argument never reached the jury
• Skeptical takes and the Sominex angle: could symptoms be pharmacological?
• Lasting impact on pop culture, documentaries, and true-crime discourse

The Lindbergh Kidnapping: Timeline, Evidence, Theories—And the Aviator’s Secret Children
The 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping changed U.S. law and still sparks debate. We walk through the timeline from the nursery note to the fatal discovery, examine the money trail and the famed forensic ladder analysis, and revisit the Bruno Richard Hauptmann verdict alongside competing theories (lone actor vs. accomplices, the Fische box explanation, and inside-help rumors). We close with a careful look at the aviator’s later-revealed secret children in Germany—what’s DNA-confirmed and what remains unverified.

What you’ll learn
• Key locations, dates, and the ransom hand-off to “Cemetery John”
• How marked gold certificates and the “wooden witness” shaped the case
• Why the Federal Kidnapping Act (the “Lindbergh Law”) mattered
• Which theories persist—and why historians still argue

On March 1st, 1932, 20-month-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., son of famed pilot Charles Lindbergh, was abducted from the crib of his second-floor bedroom of the Lindbergh's home in New Jersey. A ladder was left behind. There were ransom notes, voluntary liaisons, suicides, a nationwide search, and help from not only J. Edgar Hoover, but the President of the United States.

When little Charlie's body was found two months later near the Lindbergh's home, the search was on for a killer. And they found one. Or did they? This 93-year-old case is the most publicized of the 20th century.

Between 1972 and 1985, Marybeth Tinning and her husband Joe Tinning buried nine children in Schenectady, New York. At first, doctors called all but one of the deaths “crib death” or SIDS, but patterns emerged that couldn’t be ignored. Eventually, Marybeth confessed to smothering her 4-month-old daughter, Tami Lynne, and was convicted of second-degree murder in 1987.

But why would a mother kill her children? Many experts believe Marybeth’s case reflects Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome (now known as Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another), where caregivers fabricate or induce illness in children for attention, sympathy, or control.

In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we uncover:

• The shocking timeline of the Tinning children’s deaths
• How Marybeth shifted between confessions and denials
• The unwavering loyalty of her husband, Joe
• The role of doctors, investigators, and forensic pathologists in piecing together the truth
• A deep dive into Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome and how it connects to this case

Marybeth Tinning was paroled in 2018 after more than 30 years behind bars. But her story remains one of the darkest chapters in American true crime history—a chilling example of a mother who weaponized motherhood itself.
