About this episode

Lo and Hayley discuss shocking true crime stories and the psychology behind ignored red flags in the Netflix film Maternal Instinct.

On this week’s The Lo Life , Lo is joined once again by resident true crime junkie Hayley Orrantia for an episode filled with jaw-dropping stories that prove truth really is stranger than fiction. The episode kicks off with the unbelievable true story of the woman responsible for kidnapping thousands of babies across America and how she managed to get away with it for decades. It’s one of the most shocking scandals in U.S. history, and the details are almost impossible to believe. Then, Lo and Hayley dive into Netflix’s Maternal Instinct —breaking down the lies, manipulation, shocking deception, and the question that had them yelling at the screen: How were so many red flags ignored? Without giving away the biggest twists, they unpack the psychology behind the people involved, why warning signs are so often dismissed, and how one unbelievable story spiraled into tragedy.
