A gay man named Leon Laureles was a caretaker for others nearly his whole life. At the age of 30 he was finally free to explore his own life and sexuality. Unfortunately Leon lived in a small Texas town where living your truth was not embraced by the good ol boys who lived there. If you weren't white and straight in this conservative town trouble could be waiting. And waiting it was for Leon who was not just quietly gay but also hispanic. I met with Leon's niece Arlene at the True Crime Paranormal Festival and was honored to be able to speak with her.

Missing but not forgotten update on Austin Cornia of Utah. Missing but not forgotten Kit Mora of Washington State.

Main Case: 28 year old Aaron Scheerhorn had everything going for him until one night in December 2010, he was out in the Montrose section (the gayborhood) of Houston Texas and was attacked by a well dressed, tall, large black man with a knife. Aaron ran to the the front of The Blur Bar. The bouncers outside refused to let Aaron in, even after he showed them his chest stab wound. Talking to the bouncers gave his killer time to catch up with Aaron.

True Crime Quickie is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2022. 41 year old Eric Pope was hit in his face by a bouncer at Tabu Bar, an LGBTQ nightclub. Once hit, he fell to the ground hitting his head on the cement. This case is very much like the Christopher McKinney case from Louisville, Kentucky.
