January 26th: Beaumont Case (1966) As a parent, the idea of losing one child is too much to bear. The idea of losing 3? Unimaginable.

A type of murder that is, unfortunatly, all too common in some families.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Banaz_Mahmod, https://www.theguardian.com/...

January 23, 2022 10:00 - 13 minutes

January 23rd: Murder of Willie Edwards (1957) Our history is filled with dark events. And, perhaps, some of the darkest involved the thousands of lynchings committed against completely innocent men, women, and children, who were judged by the color of their skin, the religion they practiced, sexuality, and general difference. On January 23rd 1957 a young man with so much brightness in his future disappeared into the night only to have his abductors, his admitted murderers, walk freely for the...

January 22, 2022 10:00 - 11 minutes

January 22nd: Eric Smith Born (1980) When we think cold blooded, vicious, murder we often think of large, looming, and terrifying men whom we cross the rode to avoid. We don’t often think of small, innocent looking children with glasses, freckles, and red unkempt hair. On January 22nd 1980 a killer was born who would take a life just as he reached his teen years. A boy who some think is a cold blooded danger to society and others think needs to be placed in a facility and treated for a rare m...

January 20, 2022 10:00 - 14 minutes

January 20th: Southside Strangler Arrested (1988) We talk a lot about DNA and how it can help solve even the coldest of cases. But, DNA can also set an innocent person free after circumstances, and false confessions, land him or her behind prison walls. On January 20th 1988 a man was arrested in connection to crimes committed by the Southside Strangler. And, with his arrest and DNA sample, came the exoneration of a man who had been behind bars for a handful of years.  https://en.wikipedia.or...

January 19, 2022 10:00 - 8 minutes

Unfortunately, the only person who can confirm or deny his claims, was the very person who lost her life at his hands.  https://murderpedia.org/male.N/n/nesbit-clarence.htm, https://deathrow2019usa.blogs...

January 14, 2022 10:00 - 13 minutes

January 14th: Charles Rice Sentenced to Death (2002) In some cases, the only person providing the details of a case, the details of someone’s murder, is the killer themselves. On January 14th 2002 a man was sentenced to death for a crime that, at the end of the day, only has his version of the story being told. A version that, of course, doesn’t name him as the murderer. A version that cannot be argued because the only other person who can contest, was the victim of the crime.  MERCH IS OUT...

January 13th: Hae Min Lee Disappeared (1999) We live in a world where true crime podcasts are plentiful. But, that was not always the case.

January 12, 2022 10:00 - 16 minutes

January 12th: John Joubert Arrested(1984) If you are anything like me, the idea of criminal profiling helping to solve a case is nothing but incredibly exciting. On January 12th 1984 a man was arrested for 2 crimes that would, ultimately, send him to the execution chamber. A man who, had it not been for criminal profiling and a chance meeting in Quantico, could have gotten away without any connections to his other crimes.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joubert_(serial_killer), https://m...

January 2nd: Joseph McVay Kills (2011) There comes a time in every parent's life when your child bucks up to you and refuses to do as you ask. A time where your arguments get a little too loud and emotions can get the better of you. For the most part, it’s temporary and, after exchanging apologies and deep conversations, everything goes back to normal and love comes out on top. This, of course, isn’t always the case.

December 30th: Gun Alley Murder (1921) With forensics always changing and evolving it stands to reason that some cases that happened in years past can and do have much different outcomes.
