On August 18th 2012, Heather Cameron-Haller a mother of 4 went missing from a rural part of Redding, CA, after placing multiple 911 call stating she had been drugged and she needed help.

American Indian or Alaska native women have the highest percentage of lifetime prevalence for intimate partner violence at 57.7% - over 10% higher than the national average.
Rates of other violent crimes - including abduction, rape and murder are also all higher than the national average for this group. And very often disappearances and murders are directly linked to domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault. Heather's case put's a name and face to these statistics.

You’ve probably never heard of Fredericka "Marm" Mendelbaum aka Mother Mandelbaum - a modest german immigrant who eventually became one of then most notorious crime bosses in New York.
She backed two of the largest heists in history, but for decades law enforcement couldn't touch her.

09/11 SURVIVOR | TOM CANAVAN || Missing in Hush Town for Death Not Yet

TOM CANAVAN was a family man- he had a son whose birthday was coming up and his wife was pregnant with their second child- a daughter. As he was headed into work on September 11, 2001, it felt like any other day- a day comprised of task lists, routines, and thus ending with family time. However, this day- in fact, in just a few moments from his arrival to work- he would find himself- buried…alive.

Donna Adelson Found Guilty

Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/like-mother-like-murder--6210055/support.

Welcome to Like Mother Like Murder's Day 8 Trial updates providing daily coverage in the ongoing trial of Donna Adelson for the murder of Dan Markel.

Today, Rachel and Heather discuss only the second and ultimately the last day that Donna's defense team presents thier evidence. In LMLM's himble opinion this  uninspiring and unimpressive presentation by the defense did not do much to convince us (or a jury) that Donna was not connected what she has been accused of. Ultimately the day ended with more floundering by the defense before Donna Adelson decided not to take the stand and the defense rested thier case. Thursday we will be back with closing statements.
