Mother Calls Friend as She Is Being Beaten to Death

A 41-year-old left work at ten on a freezing Calgary night to walk home, a trip she'd made dozens of times. She never finished it. But before she died, she made one phone call — screaming to a friend that she was being beaten and raped — and that call became the spine of the entire investigation. What had she crossed the world to build, and who took it from her?

In this episode, we analyze the murder of Areli Leogan in Calgary. We examine the desperate phone call, the sticker-covered hard hat left at the scene, the transit footage of a man one step behind her, and the trial that turned on the killer's state of mind. How does a mother of five sacrifice everything for a future that never arrives?

Location: Calgary, Canada

- Her body was found in an alley, and a distinctive sticker-covered hard hat left at the scene led an ironworkers' union to identify Christopher Watcheston, 21.
- Her blood was on his jacket, his DNA was on her body, and her purse was found in his home.
- He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life with no parole for 25 years, his claim of extreme intoxication rejected.

Fiancée Waits in the Cold While Her Killer Takes Her Home

Just after midnight on Christmas Eve, a 22-year-old clocked out and waited in a San Diego parking lot for the man she was going to marry. He never came. Fifty-two minutes later she called 911 to say she'd been shot — and went silent. The man both she and her fiancé were waiting for had never met them. How do three strangers die over a car?

In this episode, we analyze the triple murder of Alona Flint and the Badier brothers in San Diego. We examine the homemade silencer, the fiancé found weeks later in his own trunk, the air fresheners taped to mask the smell, and the single piece of tape that finally named the killer. What does it mean when the only connection is a car that happened to be there?

Victims: Alona Flint (22), Giani Badier (24), and Sal Badier (22)
Date: December 24, 2013
Location: San Diego, California
Perpetrator: Carlo Marcato
Outcome: Pleaded guilty; three consecutive life sentences

- On Christmas Eve 2013, Alona Flint waited at a San Diego mall for her fiancé Giani Badier, who always picked her up but never came.
- Giani had already been shot and locked in the trunk of his own car by a stranger, Carlo Marcato.
- When Giani's brother Sal came to get Alona, both were shot in his car with a .22 pistol fitted with a homemade silencer; Alona managed to call 911.
- Giani's body was found weeks later in Riverside, with taped-down air fresheners placed around it to mask the smell.
- DNA on that tape, plus a weapons stop and ballistics, tied Carlo Marcato to all three killings; he pleaded guilty and received three consecutive life sentences.
