[MILITARY MURDER] The Battaglia Family May 29, 2023

Show notes

I am sharing an episode from my podcast bestie Margot from Military Murder. As a service member herself, she is the perfect person to walk you through cases involving the military. Happy Memorial Day!

John Battaglia Jr. was a handsome Marine veteran who used his looks and his charm to sweet talk women in his life. But there was a secret inside that he unleashed as soon as his wives were “trapped” in marriage with this monster. His first wife, Michelle Ward, a highly educated lawyer, suffered domestic abuse at his hands, while his second wife, Mary Jeane, a wealthy woman suffered both emotional and then later physical abuse at his hands. John terrorized his estranged wives and then his ex-wives, but the real terror wouldn’t be against his unlucky ex-wives, his revenge would be against the most innocent of innocent. Dig in with Margot as she discusses John Battaglia Jr.’s reign of terror on his family.

Warning: This episode contains issues of domestic violence and violence against children. Listener discretion is advised.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from domestic violence, needs help, encouragement, or support, please contact the NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE at 1-800-799-SAFE(7233).
