In this gripping third episode of "Box in the Basement," host Arlene takes us through the harrowing details surrounding the unsolved murder of her uncle, Leon Laureles. "The Murder, the Investigation, The Call for Justice" uncovers the events of that fateful night on May 10, 1996, in Brownwood, Texas, and the ensuing flawed investigation that left more questions than answers.

As Arlene pieces together Leon's last encounters, including troubling threats and ominous figures, she sheds light on the potential hate crime aspect of his murder. The episode scrutinizes the investigation's shortcomings, from the mishandling of crucial evidence to the biased narratives pushed by law enforcement, raising concerns about systemic negligence and possible homophobia.

But this episode goes beyond recounting the past. It is a fervent call to action. We are initiating a fundraising campaign to hire an attorney who can work on the Homicide Victims Family's Act of 2022. This new law offers a glimmer of hope for families like ours, who have been navigating the justice system without representation. It's time to bring fresh eyes and renewed vigor to Leon's case and many others who have been left in the shadows.

Join us in this critical mission to seek justice for Leon and countless others. Your support can make a tangible difference, helping us to hire legal experts who can navigate the complexities of this new law and give voice to those who have been silenced.
