Bone Valley · Chapter 6 | The Snake · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

When she graduated high school, she ran off and joined the Army. matched

But there, she was assaulted by a fellow soldier and forced to take early discharge. matched

For years, she struggled to get her bearings, veering from drugs to detox. matched

But then midway through her 20s, Sarah's luck turned. matched

She found a trauma specialist at the VA and worked with her for years. matched

She emerged from those sessions smarter and stronger and soon found her life's passion, working with animals. matched

She opened a dog grooming business and eventually bought herself a house. matched

And somewhere in the thick of that, in 2011, she got a visit from a private eye. matched

He was working for Anthony DePippo, he said, and taking a long, hard look at Howard Gombert, studying his most specific criminal M.O., and his history as a violent rapist of children. matched

And so Sarah added her story to the one that Rachel told. matched

And then three more women came forward and added theirs. matched

Stacked together, those women told a meta-story. matched

The story of a man who for almost 20 years had committed unspeakable crimes. matched

Second, was one of his many crimes the rape and murder of Josette Wright? matched

And finally, how much more Gombert-proof would it take to get a Putnam judge to free Anthony DePippo? matched

One of Anthony's investigators was a man named Lou Morgan. matched

Lew is tall and dapper and drives a top-end Mercedes and can read you from across the room. matched

He was an essential player in profiling Howard Gombert. matched
