Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day for flowers, candy, and romance. But sadly for Susan Hamilton, Valentine’s Day of 2001 would be the day she was savagely beaten and killed. Her husband, Dr. John Hamilton, came back to their Oklahoma City home after performing two surgeries that morning to find her lying on the floor of the bathroom with blood everywhere. Who would have killed Susan, and why?

True crime

Early on the morning of April 20th, 2012, Gerard Baden-Clay called to report his wife Allison missing. He said she had gone out for a walk and hadn’t returned. When the police showed up to take a report, they were immediately put on high alert because of two distinct scratches running down Gerard’s cheek, which he claimed to be the result of a shaving accident. Soon, the entire state of Queensland, Australia would be captivated by Allison’s story, with countless volunteers joining the search. As details of Gerard’s secret life, affairs, and business struggles emerged, suspicion quickly turned to him. But would there be enough evidence for justice to be served?Listen to both parts now, ad-free, on Patreon.Today's snacks: Vegemite toast, Tim Tams, and Violet CrumbleSources:Murray, David.

Shanna Gardner and Jared Bridegan

Shanti Cooper fell in love with David Tronnes after meeting in 2013 on Match.com. After a whirlwind romance, David and Shanti moved in together. First into a rented house and later into a beautiful, historic home in Orlando, Florida that David had purchased. A major home renovation ensued but countless delays resulted in the couple being displaced from their home for over 2 years.  An opportunity to appear on the show “Zombie House Flipping” surfaced. David saw this as a chance to finish their home renovation. But just as things were looking up for the couple, Shanti was found dead in their small apartment on April 24, 2018. David claimed a slip-and-fall accident must have caused her death but the crime scene told a different story. Support us on PatreonSources:https://www.hulu.com/watch/56ef16a6-2143-4cc2-b3de-a3dd4b3acf6bhttps://www.zillow.com/homes/218-E-Copeland-Dr-Orlando-FL-32806_rb/46266483_zpid/https://www.club-orlando.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY8yNACjNjQhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/478921987/?terms=david%20tronneshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/565070164/?match=2&terms;=david%20tronneshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1013447585/?match=1&terms;=david%20tronneshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/619613413/?match=1&terms;=david%20tronneshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/fake-crying-hubby-who-claimed-wife-drowned-in-bathtub-found-guilty-of-her-murder/ar-AA1iwrAu#https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/fake-crying-hubby-who-claimed-wife-drowned-in-bathtub-found-guilty-of-her-murder/ar-AA1iwrAu#https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/10/11/murder-trial-begins-for-david-tronnes-man-accused-of-strangling-his-wife-in-orlando/https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/10/18/testimony-continues-in-murder-trial-of-david-tronnes-man-accused-of-strangling-wife-in-delaney-park/<a href="https://www.wftv.com/news/local/police-man-arrested-in-wife-s-murder-near-delaney-park/823331348/"...
