Amber Hagerman was a beautiful nine year old little girl that was enjoying a bike ride on a beautiful Texas afternoon. Eight minutes after leaving her grandmothers home, she was abducted and found murdered four days later. We take a look at the small window of time, in which this crime occurred. Amber's disappearance triggered Diana Simone to take action. This action brought about what we know as the Amber Alert. The Amber Alert has saved over 1,000 missing and exploited children. This case can be solved.

Orange Muscat with a Texas twist is what we were sipping on from 10 Mile Productions,  with Chris's delicious pork and fig empanadas and Spanish style couscous. Contact our friends at 10 Mile Productions through their Facebook page and tell them Texas Wine & True Crime sent you.

Four bodies found on top of each other in the back bedroom of a trailer house. Is this a rare random crime, or a targeted murder. And who do you believe was the intended target?

Darlie Routier is sitting on death row for killing her two young boys, although she has only been officially charged with one of their murders. In part 1 we discuss the crime scene, the injuries, and blood evidence. Darlie has always maintained her innocence. Did the Court get this one right?

The wine today comes from our friends at Cascabel Ranch Winery. We are sipping on a delicious Copperhead Red. Chris paired this red with a Bistecca alla Florentina topped with tuscan style mushroom and sun dried tomato cream sauce and tuscan inspired cannellini beans. Also a arugula baby spinach salad topped with a citrus vinaigrette. Recipe will be up on Patreon this week.

In Part 2 we talk about the victims, the trial, the husband, the spiritual adviser, and the best friend. The 911 call Andrea made was monotone and matter of fact. This case is a tragedy no matter if you hate her for what she did, or you feel sorry for her. She is living in a mental facility in Kerrville, TX and will most likely spend the rest of her life there. 

If you or someone you know if suffering, please reach out and get the help you need. You are not alone.

This week we are discussing Andrea Yates. Andrea drowned all 5 of her children after her husband Rusty left for work. Andrea was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, schizophrenia, and depression after the birth of their fourth child. Going against everything doctors and psychiatrists suggested, they had child number 5. Six months later, she killed all of her kids. This is the tragic story of 5 children whose lives could have been saved if only just one things would've been done right.

This week Chris gave Tumbleweed Smith a treat with his charcuterie board. We enjoyed wine from Edge of the Lake Vineyard and Sangria from our friends at Hill Country Wine Works. We polished them both off with smiling faces and full bellies. Go see our friends Edge of the Lake & Hill Country Wine Works.

I do believe with the right tip, someone can break this case wide open and bring Shelbey's family the answers they deserve. 

Thank you Krystina for sharing your sister's story. I hope her case reaches the right ears and someone comes forward with information.

This week we are discussing the case of Melissa Lucio. Melissa was charged with Capital Murder in the death of her 2-year old Mariah. Mariah was found unresponsive and was pronounced DOA at the hospital. Melissa admitted to slapping and biting Mariah, but says she never hit her in the head or punched the child. The medical examiner determined that Mariah had died from blunt force trauma to the head. Was it an accidental fall, or murder?

The wine for this week comes from our friends at Cassaro Winery in Ovilla, TX. We are sipping on a Sangiovese Rose. Perfect for summer, and paired perfectly with Chris's past dish, lobster claws, and watermelon summer salad. Beyond delicious!
