March 31, 2025 marked the 20th anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death. WORLD Radio is commemorating her death by presenting a remastered version of our true-crime podcast Lawless.

Just weeks ago, Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers stood arm in arm, united in their desire to care for Terri. But after the Valentine’s Day fight, their relationship is in pieces. And Terri’s meticulous care—the manicures, the walks, the therapy—it all vanishes.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death. Over the next nine weeks, WORLD Radio is commemorating her death by presenting a remastered version of our true-crime podcast Lawless.

Terri Schiavo was 26 years old when she suffered a brain injury in her apartment just before dawn. She had no significant medical history. No known health concerns.

But when the sun rose that day in 1990, doctors weren’t sure if Terri would live another 24 hours. And no one knew what had happened.

Everyone was looking for answers. Terri’s husband, Michael. Her family. The doctors. Even the police. Because something didn’t add up. After all, a perfectly healthy 26 year old doesn’t collapse for no reason.

You may remember the Terri Schiavo case as a bitter public feud over a severely disabled woman’s right to die…or right to live. As Terri’s husband, Michael Schiavo, sought to end her life, the case ignited a national firestorm that pulled in Congress, the American president, and even the Pope.

By March 18, 2005, Terri had lived alone in a dark, tiny hospice room for four years. That morning, she was sitting up in a chair, unhooked to machines of any kind. Her aunt and sister were visiting. As Terri listened to them talk, she smiled. She had no idea that the State of Florida was about to dehydrate her to death.
