  • Why Won’t Bexar County Close the Nichol Olsen Case? Angeliz Unmuted | Episode 8

    In Episode 8, Angeliz dives into one of Bexar County’s most haunting and unresolved tragedies — the deaths of Nichol Olsen and her two young daughters in their Anaqua Springs home. What happened inside that house has been debated for years, and the silence surrounding this case has only made the questions louder.Using verified timelines, interviews, public records, and the widely discussed coverage from the Mile Higher podcast, Angeliz unpacks the events leading up to that night — the relationships, the red flags, the inconsistencies, and the unanswered questions that continue to unsettle the community.Listeners will hear how investigators initially handled the case, why the local sheriff still refuses to reach a conclusion six years later, and how many in the public believe the investigation has been slowed, influenced, or quietly suppressed. Angeliz explores these allegations head-on, including the widely held belief that Sheriff Salazar may have been pressured — or paid — to keep the case open and unresolved (allegedly), leaving Nichol’s loved ones with more frustration than closure.This episode also highlights the nationwide attention the case has gained, including commentary from the Mile Higher podcast, whose hosts — people far outside Bexar County — questioned the sheriff’s contradictions, his public image, and his readiness to be in front of cameras rather than behind the hard investigative work.With raw storytelling, factual sourcing, and an unflinching look at the politics surrounding this tragedy, Episode 8 asks the questions many are too afraid to put on record:Why does a mother’s death remain in limbo?Why were so many warning signs ignored?And who benefits from this silence?🎧 Let’s get unmuted.Need to submit a story ASAP?⁠https://www.jotform.com/app/252822137...⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AngelizUnmutedSpotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7GlTuh7...⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...⁠Check out my Patreon!: ⁠ https://www.patreon.com/cw/angelizunmuted  ⁠Follow me on TikTok: @angeliz_unmutedSources:Episode 8 Credits.docx

  • Deputy was Fired, Arrested, & Slandered over a lie. Angeliz Unmuted | Episode 7

    For the first time since his arrest, former Deputy Ivan Torres speaks.In this episode, he reveals how one decision from within the sheriff’s office changed everything, how a chief’s act of humiliation led to his public downfall, placing him on full suicidal precaution for charges that were ultimately dropped due to insufficient evidence.This isn’t just a story about one man’s career being destroyed.It’s about how a system meant to protect can instead turn on its own, and how power, when unchecked, can strip someone of their dignity before the truth ever sees daylight.Featuring an audio clip of Ron Tooke, this episode dives into the darker corners of institutional control, corruption, and the human cost of silence.His goals. His dreams. His life, snatched away by the very system he once served.This is The Truth Should Set You Free🎧 Let’s get unmuted.

  • Angeliz Unmuted | Episode 6: The Living Dead of Bexar County

    The Bexar County Jail doesn’t sleep. Even when the city does, the lights inside never go out — buzzing over exhausted faces who’ve been pushed past their limits.In this episode, I uncover the story of Deputy Zoie Kelly — a deputy, a mother, and a survivor whose crash was more than an accident… it was a symptom of a system that’s breaking the very people sworn to uphold it.She worked 80-hour weeks. She was pregnant. She was exhausted. And when she fell asleep behind the wheel, the department called it a “reminder to get more rest.”No accountability. No reform. Just silence.This is the story that disappeared from the news, the one the Sheriff’s Office would rather you forget — until now.Because the truth is, the living dead in Bexar County aren’t just behind the bars.They’re wearing the badge.🎧 Let’s get unmuted.#AngelizUnmuted #TrueCrimePodcast #InvestigativeJournalism #BexarCountyJail #UnmutedFilesNeed to submit a story ASAP?⁠https://www.jotform.com/app/252822137...⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AngelizUnmutedSpotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7GlTuh7...⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...⁠Check out my Patreon!: ⁠ https://www.patreon.com/cw/angelizunmuted  ⁠Follow me on TikTok: @angeliz_unmuted

  • Angeliz Unmuted | Episode 5: A Different Perspective; Mom's Interview

    Some things don’t shatter in an instant, they wear down slowly, shift after shift, until everything breaks. In this emotional episode, I sit down with her mother to share what it was like to live through the aftermath of tragedy from a different perspective, as a mother, a grandmother, and the glue trying to hold a broken family together.

    Through raw questions and unfiltered emotion, they unpack the hidden toll of exhaustion, the silence that follows “we’re still investigating,” and the lasting pain that never clocks out.

    Plus, Angeliz opens the door for listeners to finally share their stories through the new Angeliz Unmuted Story Submission Form, giving others the chance to be heard.

    This is more than an interview, it’s a testimony to love, loss, and the price families pay when a system runs on fatigue.

  • Angeliz Unmuted | Episode 4: Becoming The Ghost Of Bexar County

    In 2019, San Antonio mother and business owner Andreen McDonald vanished. Five years later, a Texas appellate court affirmed his conviction for manslaughter and tampering with evidence. But buried in those pages lies something bigger: the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office failed to turn over key evidence for almost two years after his indictment. Stay until the end. The bombshell I uncover will connect this case to something else, something Bexar County never wanted in the spotlight.

About Angeliz Unmuted

From the publisher's feed

Two years ago, a tragic accident nearly took the life of my infant daughter. An accident born from exhaustion, systemic failure, and neglect (allegedly) at the hands of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department. For two years, I carried the weight of guilt, public scrutiny, and silence. But now, with my husband’s legal case finally closed, it’s time to speak.
