Today is a solo episode by Alex, discussing the brutal murder of Elizabeth Olten who was a 9-year-old girl living in St. Martins, Missouri. Elizabeth was friends with her 6-year-old neighbor named Emma, and they often played together. But no one knew what Emma's older sister had planned to do on a random Wednesday evening in October of 2009. Alyssa used her younger sister to draw Elizabeth into a trap before she brutally murdered her and buried her in a shallow grave. This case will discuss parts of Alyssa's younger life and what she was like leading up to the vicious murder. I'll also discuss parts of her interrogation and trial.

Henry Louis Wallace, turned the city of Charlotte, NC into his hunting grounds. Using his manipulative charming personality, he befriended almost all of his victims, gaining their trust and even some of their family members trust. We will discuss the 22 months that Wallace spent from 1992 to 1994, finding his 10 victims and the dots that connected them to Wallace and each other. We will also talk about his interviews with police, including his confession to a prior murder in 1990 in his hometown of Barnwell, SC, before discussing the details of his trial.All relevant sources are listed below:https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/angelsresort/brandi-henderson-and-the-other-victims-of-henry-wa-f24/?sid=22d66a381d14d572839ad1308b1d2463https://www.crimelibrary.org/serial_killers/predators/wallace/preface_1.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/44459326/wallace-rape-victim-and-bojangles/https://webapps.doc.state.nc.us/opi/viewoffender.do?method=view&offenderID=0422350&obscure=N&listpage=1&listurl=pagelistoffendersearchresults&searchLastName=Wallace&searchFirstName=Henry&searchDOBRange=0https://murderpedia.org/male.W/w/wallace-henry-louis.htmhttps://abcnews.go.com/2020/families-victims-serial-killer-henry-wallace-remember-loved/story?id=84543063https://casetext.com/case/wallace-v-polk-3https://www.newspapers.com/article/59039348/wallace-confession-of-tashanda-bethea/https://serialdispatches.com/alphabetical-list-of-serial-killers/list-of-serial-killers-w/wallace-henry-louis/https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/crime/article277173683.htmlhttps://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/2020-air-exclusive-interview-with-taco-bell-strangler-1990s-charlotte-serial-killer/KOEZQ44GSRG2JHPT2CFXUUM564/https://g.co/kgs/8oEF7dhttps://g.co/kgs/1Jkqfh
