Right now in true crime: BK plea deal, Diddy verdict



In Swampscott, Massachusetts in 1974, 15-year-old Henry Bedard brutally lost his life while on his way home from running some errands after school. Despite evidence being left behind including the alleged murder weapon, Henry’s case remains unsolved to this day, almost 51 years since its horrific crime was committed. We are going to discuss Henry’s story and where the case stands today.

Right now in true crime: Brandon Lawson update, Diddy trial update, Barry Morphew arrested. 

My favorite type of episode to bring you a now solved cold case. After 31 years, the murder of a woman named Megan Beth Johns has officially been solved. Megan lost her life in 1994 at only 29 years old when she was brutally killed in her apartment. After years of unanswered questions, after taking the chance on some untested DNA, we have learned the identify of her killer and he has a criminal history that dates back to 1990, a whole 4 years before Megan’s life was taken.

Right now in true crime: 
Karen Reid trial update, Travis Decker search update, Lori Vallow trial update and final verdict

In 1973 in Houston, Texas 12 year-old Kirk Douglas Gaskin was brutally murdered in a bathroom at the restaurant where his mother worked. Little investigation was done and little remains known about what happened to that day at the early Roberts famous foods restaurant. I am sharing Kirk’s story in hopes that somebody will be able to help shed new light on his case and help his family with what has haunted them since 1973. Who killed Kirk Douglas Gaskin?
