161. Blanca Montano: Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy / Factitious Disorder

Author: Paige Elmore April 12, 2023 Duration: 33:01
Blanca Montano had a seven month old daughter, and a little boy who was reported to be "a little older," who both fell ill and were hospitalized in Tucson, Arizona in 2011. The little boy got better and was able to go home but when the seven month old began to make progress, she quickly got worse over night. Blanca's daughter suffered a number of infections (bacterial, fungal, blood infection, among others) that doctors had never seen one child have all at once. Blanca was accused of having Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, also known as Factitious Disorder, and was making her daughter very sick on purpose for attention.

Hosted by Paige Elmore, Reverie True Crime explores the unsettling space between quiet thought and grim reality. The title itself is a deliberate contrast-a reverie is often a peaceful daydream, but our minds don't always wander to safe places. This podcast delves into those shadowy corners of curiosity about the darkest human acts. Each episode is built on a foundation of thorough research, examining not just the facts of a case but the profound cultural and societal ripples that follow. You’ll hear detailed narratives of long-forgotten mysteries and contemporary injustices, always with an ear for the human stories at their core. Paige guides listeners through these complex tales with a measured and thoughtful approach, focusing on the lasting impacts on victims, families, and communities. The show sits at the intersection of several genres, offering news-worthy updates, cultural analysis, and deep societal reflection, all through the lens of true crime. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered about the how and why behind the headlines, seeking understanding rather than sensationalism. In this podcast, the aim is to satisfy that haunting curiosity with respect and depth, transforming a simple daydream into a meaningful examination of the world's harder truths.
