In 2009 Mark Stover’s professional life was thriving. He owned a successful dog-training business, he worked for famous clients, and he was known as “The dog whisperer of the pacific northwest.” At the same time, his personal life was falling apart. A divorce, a stalking conviction, and an obsession with finding his old wedding photos led him down a dark path. Mark stalked, harassed, and threatened his ex-wife. She feared for her life, but in a shocking turn of events, Mark was murdered.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the strange and baffling murder of Mark Stover. There's no doubt that Mark's ex-wife Linda Opdycke was afraid of him. She started taking self-defense classes, purchased a number of firearms, and took her concerns to the Sheriff. Then, she met a man named Michiel Oakes and the two fell in love. Michiel Oakes shot and killed Mark Stover, but, the reason that he did it was at issue. Michiel admitted to killing Mark Stover but said that he did so in self-defense. How would the jury see it?
