Riddle Me That! True Crime

Noah Donohoe was a 14-year-old boy who lived in Belfast with his family. On Father’s Day June 21, 2020, amidst lockdown Noah had made plans to go to Cave Hill Park with friends to complete his Duke of Edinburg award (similar to Boy Scouts, but decidedly more complex). Noah put the location into google maps and set off, but something must have derailed him. Noah was caught on 22 CCTV cameras; this was nowhere near the 180 counted on the route that Noah took that the family would later count. There appeared to be gaps in footage and in time. The CCTV that was captured was disturbing, Noah was in various states of undress, shedding his clothing and belongings. Noah’s mother Fiona sounded the alarm later that day and the community rallied behind her; people came out in droves to search for Noah. Noah would later be found in a storm drain in a loyalist area, an area he was unfamiliar with and no business being in. Why was Noah there? And why did the PSNI make a preliminary conclusion of accident upon finding an unclothed 14-year-old boy in a storm drain? This was before a pathologist had looked at the body and determined manner of death, prior to the forensics being run, prior to evidence being collected and prior to individuals who may have had something to do with Noah’s death being questioned. The family has been let down by investigators and stonewalled, as a response the community filled the gap, standing up to the authorities and forming Noah’s army, a movement that is in direct response to the family feeling as though they need to push authorities to do what they are supposed to do…. investigate the death of a child thoroughly. There will be an upcoming coroner’s inquest, where hopefully all the details will come to light. In this episode I speak to Sunday World Journalist Trish Devlin about her experiences as a journalist in Northern Ireland, the abuse, trolling and misogyny she’s personally faced, as well as the history and delicate peace in Northern Ireland. Trish has had the pleasure of speaking to Fiona Donohoe, as well as other family members. I will link below all things Noah Donohoe related, as well as Trish’s work on the case for the Sunday World.

Suffer the Little Children is The true crime podcast giving voices back to the victims of child abuse and shining a harsh spotlight on the parents and guardians who silenced them.
On April 2 of this year, Breanna Micciolo dropped off her six-year-old son, Corey, at his father’s house in Barnegat, New Jersey for their scheduled visitation. She expected to pick him up that afternoon, but instead, she got a phone call from Corey’s father saying they were headed to the hospital. By the time Breanna figured out what was happening, the police were on her doorstep with the worst news any mother could ever receive: her precious little first-grader was dead.

Since Corey’s death, Breanna has received no information from the police, the medical examiner, or the prosecutor’s office regarding what happened to her son, and to date, no arrests have been made. This is a story of the failure of child protective services to do the one thing they’re tasked with doing. It’s also the story of a family court’s failure to believe a mother trying her very hardest to protect her child from abuse.

In this episode, you’ll also hear my conversation with Corey’s heartbroken mom, Breanna, who wants not only justice for her son but also protection for other children in situations like his.

This is the gut-wrenching story of Corey Micciolo.

Case update: A warrant was issued for Christopher Gregor’s arrest on a charge of child endangerment the day after this episode was released. Click here for updates to Corey’s case: www.sufferthelittlechildrenblog.com/tag/corey-micciolo

This episode features Kate from Ignorance Was Bliss podcast. Kate is a former forensic Psychologist and provides some valuable insights into the case. This is the conclusion of the series.

This case is unlike any other case that I have covered, because technically it's a solved case. The case of Darlie Routier is controversial and has the support of the innocence project. Many people believe that an intruder broke into 26 year old Darlie's Rowlett, Texas home and murdered her young boys 5 year old Damon and 6 year old Devon in 1996, while gravely injuring Darlie. All while her husband Darrin and 7 month old son Drake slept upstairs.
The state was sure that Darlie was the perpetrator and that there was no evidence of an intruder. Many believe that the errors made & prejudicial manner by which the trial was conducted would mean a new trial for Darlie. That hasn't been the case. Even though DNA testing was ordered in 2018, we still have yet to see any movement. Listen and weigh in for yourselves on a case that has bent my brain in every which way and I cannot with any degree of certainty tell you I know what happened. I will however have experts weigh in throughout this series so we can all have a better understanding of Darlie, her words, the investigation and the evidence against her, as well as the evidence that potentially could exonerate her if she was given a new trial.

PROMO: The Jury Room

If you want to see the type of material that Ashley and I will have over at Patreon.com/julesandashley then check out this bonus episode on Andrea Yates. This is a tragic case where Andrea was suffering from postpartum depression, psychosis and Schizophrenia and against the advice of her doctors, continued to have more children. Andrea would go on to kill her five children, tragically drowning them. This didn't come out of nowhere, there had been multiple suicide attempts and talk of killing her children. This is a case of a system that failed Andrea, a husband that ignored the signs despite being told by therapists, doctors and friends of Andrea that her children were in trouble and a woman who believed that Satan was living inside her and that to kill her children while they were innocent was truly the right thing to do. This case is about the intersection between responsibility and mental illness in the judicial system. This case is heartbreaking, as it involves the death of children, please practice self-care if you choose to listen.
