Burden of Proof

Case 113: The Murder of Yolanda Holmes


Listen Later

Yolanda Holmes was a beloved pillar of her community in Chicago, Illinois where she owned a small business and raised her son, Qawmane Wilson. After a night of rekindling a romance with her former boyfriend, Yolanda was killed while lying in bed next to him. According to him, there was an intruder that shot her before he could react but the two men fought until the gunman got away. The problem with his story was there was no forced entry into the high rise apartment.

Detectives spent over a year following leads on more than 80 pieces of evidence only to find that the person responsible was in front of them the entire time. Tune in as Elysia shares the investigation ups and downs and Savannah suffers from whiplash.
