We explore the tragic events surrounding Hillary Brown's death, due to alleged negligence and over-medication by her husband Dr. Benjamin Brown during procedures he performed on her at his office.

Through a series of disturbing accounts from former patients like Jane Hawkins, Joy Edwards, and Brandy Fitzsimmons, Jim uncovers a pattern of botched surgeries, complications, and negligence that tarnished Dr. Brown's reputation. 

Former employees, including Shannon Gerage and Deborah Brown Guy, reveal troubling details about Dr. Brown's declining behavior, unsafe practices, and lapses in patient care standards at his clinic. Reports of unauthorized procedures, medication mishandling, and unsterile conditions raise serious concerns about the quality of care provided to patients under Dr. Brown's supervision.

From improper sterilization methods to medication misuse, the episode delves into the disturbing events that unfolded within Dr. Brown's clinic, painting a grim picture of the challenges faced by his patients.

The tragic events surrounding Hillary Brown's own procedure, culminating in her untimely death due to negligence and over-medication by Dr. Brown, serve as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of medical malpractice. The podcast unravels the harrowing sequence of events that led to her passing, underscoring the need for accountability and reform within the healthcare system to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

In this episode of the Bloody Angola podcast, Jim Chapman and Woody Overton discuss Jon Barry Simonis, known as the ski mask rapist. Simonis confessed to 81 rapes nationwide and was linked to over 130 attacks in a 12-state crime spree between 1978 and 1981. Simonis's crimes led to the formation of the FBI's profiling task force. The FBI created a detailed profile of Simonis, including his physical description, behavior patterns, and tendencies, which matched his characteristics accurately.

Simonis meticulously planned his crimes, evolving from burglary to sexual assaults and violence over time. He displayed domineering behavior, sought control and power over his victims, and enjoyed inflicting fear and pain. Simonis detailed his criminal activities in an interview with FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood, revealing his methods, motivations, and deviant fantasies. He admitted to escalating violence, seeking high-risk situations, and deriving satisfaction from dominating and terrorizing women.

Simonis's intelligence, manipulative tactics, and strategic approach to his crimes revealed a disturbing insight into the mind of a serial rapist. The episode delves into Simonis's twisted psyche, his predatory behaviors, and his unrepentant attitude towards his heinous acts. Despite Simonis's eventual capture and lifelong imprisonment at bloody Angola prison, his chilling confessions shed light on the dark and sinister world of a prolific sexual predator.
