Whew! There’s so much stuff happening we added an extra episode to touch on new cases and others that just aren’t going away anytime soon!

Jury selection starts Monday in the case of “Suitcase Sarah Boone,” who is on her 9th attorney, and wouldn’t you just know it, he’s James Owens from Milton, Florida, and the former Public Defender for our area. 

He’s not without notoriety here in the Panhandle, with his connection to a woman and criminal suspect who died in a shootout with police after firing at them through the sunroof of her ex-husband’s black, Jaguar, “Bonnie and Clyde” style.

If the Gulf Coast wasn’t infamous enough for doctors like Ben Brown and Thomas Shaknovsky, now we’ve got Dr. Elaine Sharp, a once well-respected 72-year-old OB/GYN in Gulf Breeze who is now charged with murder, manslaughter, money laundering, and racketeering, amongst other charges. 

And we’ve got several other high-drama, headline making cases at home and across the country including a high-school homecoming King who was fatally harassed by online scammers in a sextortion case. We’ve had our own deep fake picture scandal here in Pensacola and the parents of the girls who were sexualized are up in arms about it. 

Join us for this bonus episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential podcast called, “Southern Fried Crime: updates, deaths, and sextortion.”
