Join us today for the case of Judith Eva Barsi, a successful American child actress. She was small in stature, often played characters younger than her actual age and was in high demand in Hollywood. On July 25, 1988, at the young age of 10 years old, she was tragically murdered, along with her mother Maria.  We discuss the story of her parents, Maria and József Barsi immigrating from Hungary, how she was “discovered” and what went wrong with her enmeshed family.

On January 13, 2010, Nikki Whitehead, a 34-year-mother of twin daughters from Conyers, Georgia, was brutally beaten and stabbed to death.  Her body was found in her bathtub by her 16-year-old identical twin daughters, Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah, when they returned home from high school.  The girls blamed their step-father, yet DNA evidence proved otherwise.

On the night of October 9, 1995, firefighters responded to a house fire in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina, which is a suburb of Greensboro.   It was about 9:00 pm and the house in question was fully engulfed in flames. As the firefighters battled the inferno, they made a terrible discovery inside, the body of 28-year-old Patricia Kimble was found with her arms raised above her head. Right away, investigators suspected foul play…fire hadn’t killed Kimberly, a bullet did.  Kimberly’s husband had a solid alibi... or did he?

In today’s episode, we are covering a former CEO of Amazon Mexico who allegedly paid two hitmen $9,000 to gun down his estranged wife in 2019.  Juan Carlos García, who has been on the run since the murder, has arrest warrants issued against him in 190 countries after he was accused of orchestrating the murder of his wife Abril Pérez Sagaón.  Abril was shot in the head in her car by a motorcyclist in Mexico City in front of her two children days before a scheduled hearing for the divorce case.  She filed for divorce after he tried to kill her in her sleep with a baseball bat and then beat her with it in 2019.  Following the attack, the graphic images of her face covered in blood went viral on social media, sparking outrage in Mexico. Almost 10 months later, she was killed in cold blood on November 25th, a day marked by the UN as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, sparking massive outrage.  Join us for this case as well as a discussion on intimate partner violence.

Join us for Part 2  of assassinator John Wilkes Booth in today’s episode.  President Abraham Lincoln had been on John Wilkes Booth’s mind for months before he shot and murdered him at close range in Ford’s Theater on April 14, 1865.  Around the time of Abraham Lincoln’s re-election in November 1864, Booth began scheming against the President, whom he loathed for his anti-slavery stance and for waging war against the South. At first, the well-known actor hoped to kidnap Lincoln, bring him to Richmond and exchange him for Confederate prisoners of war.  However, the Fall of Richmond on April 3, 1865 and the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee a few days later prompted him and his co-conspirators to consider even more drastic action….and Lincoln wasn’t their only target. Find out the brutal consequences for Booth, his co-conspirators and his famous family.

Sometimes investigators get it really wrong. In 1986, after Michael Morton left his home in the suburbs of Austin, Texas for a regular day at work, his wife, Christine, was brutally murdered while their three-year-old son, Eric, watched. Upon returning home from work, he discovered that he was the prime suspect in her murder, due to a note he had left her that morning…six weeks later he was arrested.  In 1987, he was sentenced to life in prison.  Ken Anderson, the District Attorney, withheld key evidence which was later discovered by the Innocence Project. This evidence ultimately freed Michael Morton in October 2011, after he spent nearly 25 years in prison as an innocent man.  DNA exonerated him and pointed to Christine’s real killer!  Could his reputation and relationships be repaired after 25 years?

(Content Trigger Warning: Child Sexual Abuse Allegations.)
On May 12, 1983 Judy Johnson dropped off her 2 1/2 year old son, Billy,  for his first day at the popular family owned and operated McMartin Preschool.  Three month later, Judy Johnson (who was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia) would make a call to police to report that her son had been molested by not only her estranged husband, but also a staff member at the McMartin preschool, 25 year old Ray Buckey. At one point in the case, it was publicized the seven teachers at McMartin had committed 115 sexual crimes, which later expanded to 321 counts. This case would be one of the most expensive criminal trials in American history, lasting 7 years and costing $15 million…with no convictions.   Did we mention this bizarre case was during the Satanic Panic era?
