Illusion: The Murder of LaNell Barsock

<b>Remember those Magic Eye posters from the 90s? The technical name is stereogram, an optical illusion where if you kinda unfocus your eyes and stare at it long enough, a colorful kaleidoscope-looking abstract will turn into something else. A rocket ship, maybe, or a tropical landscape. They’re fun, and everybody had one in their dorm room for a while. We’re always fascinated by illusion. It’s why magicians are so popular. In the right context, we love to watch something transform into something totally different. But when that something is a person we’ve come to care about and trust? Not so fun anymore. </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Sources:</b><br /><b>https://www.grunge.com/926587/larene-austins-motive-for-murdering-lanell-barsock-explained/</b><br /><b>https://truecrimedaily.com/2016/05/31/woman-leaves-false-clues-in-lovers-murder-caught-after-escape-to-belize/</b><br /><b>https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/dateline-the-last-day-larene-austin-convicted-killing-lanell-barsock</b><br /><b>Investigation Discovery's "In Plain Sight," episode "Red Hot Murder"</b><br /><b>NBC's "Dateline: The Last Day," episode "The Case of LaNell Barsock"</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Follow us, campers!<br />Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire<br />Facebook: True Crime Campfire<br />Instagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079<br />Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfire<br />Email: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com<br />MERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/</b>
