Today I am bringing you a story from another podcast about the death of a 9 month old baby, back 36 years ago in 1987. Baby Jacob Jeremiah Landin lost his life while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend. His story is covered on the true crime podcast Tapes from the Darkside with host TZ Borden. I was so saddened by Jacob’s story, that I reached out to TZ and wanted to help spread the word about Jacob’s death. So today I present you the first episode in a series of 4 episodes, and after listening I would encourage you to listen to the remainder of the story on Tapes from the Darkside. Baby Jacob had a 6 year old brother at the time of his death, Eric Carter-Landin. I am sharing this story with you in the hope that you can help Eric to bring his brother's murderer to justice. Eric has created a petition on change.org which reads as follows -

Hi. My name is Eric Carter-Landin and my baby brother was murdered 36 years ago. His murderer was my mom's boyfriend. The suspect confessed and failed the lie detector test that was administered at the time. The autopsy report and a subsequent investigation conducted by the cold case investigator at the State Police confirm that he was responsible for Jacob's death. When the case was brought before the DA at the time he cited a lack of evidence and statute of limitations as the reason he wouldn't prosecute. I find it hard to believe that murdering a baby would have a statute of limitations. I also would like to know how a suspect's confession, as well as corroborating reports from the forensic pathologist, qualifies as a lack of evidence. I am creating this petition to urge the current DA, Clint Wellborn, to reopen this case and to bring charges against the person responsible for this heinous crime and bring him to justice. New Mexico has failed to hold child abusers and child murderers accountable for decades and it needs to stop. A message needs to be sent that we will not tolerate the abuse of children in this state. Please help me in signing this petition to get the attention of the District Attorney. 

So after listening to this episode, please listen to the remaining 3 episodes on Tapes from the Darkside and also sign the petition at change.org. Baby Jacob and Eric need your support.
