Pilot Crashes Plane on Purpose: Germanwings Flight 9525 Crash May 04, 2023

Show notes

If you were a pilot and struggling with suicidal thoughts, would you tell your boss knowing it could end your career but save the lives of others? This was the decision that 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz was left to make. Only he chose wrong. What was more wrong was the fact that he was even given the choice. His doctors knew what he was going through, yet it was left up to Andy's to tell his bosses. Since he didn't, he continued to fly even though he no longer fit the medical qualifications to do so. As time went on, Andy's mental health began to decline, and the people around him were completely unaware. Nobody knew just how much he was suffering until March 24, 2015, when he made a horrible decision that cost him and 149 other people their lives.

Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a promising young pilot turned his last flight into a suicide mission.

What Was Wrong with Aunt Diane?- The Tragic Taconic State Parkway Crash May 02, 2023

Show notes

We all probably know at least one person who seems to have everything together. They're on top of their stuff, everything in their life seems planned out perfectly, and they get everything done that they need to. They appear to be strong, no-nonsense, and never take a break. But do you ever think about what it takes for them to keep this up? The dedication, the time, and the mental strength all come into play. Add in having kids to take care of while working full time. This was life for Diane Schuler. She did everything for her kids and left little time for herself. Everybody who knew her saw how great of a mother she was and how involved she was in her kids' lives. So when Diane crashed her van with her kids and nieces inside after driving down the wrong side of the highway, her friends and family assumed she suffered a medical emergency that impaired her vision. But when the toxicology report comes back that her Blood Alcohol Content was twice the legal limit, nobody could believe it.

Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how this responsible, amazing mother ended up making a horrible decision that nobody knew she was capable of.

Boxing has always come with a risk of brain damage and health issues. Over time, the hits you receive as a boxer can take their toll on you. So, it's no surprise that certain types of punches are banned so as to not speed up the process of this deterioration. But what do you do when these illegal punches aren't corrected during a match?

This was the reality for undefeated boxer Prichard Colon. He was stuck and in pain, and it seemed like everybody was against him, including the referee .Prichard tried to tough it out, but it was clear that his physical condition was deteriorating.

The AMBER Alert Abduction: How One Girl's Tragic Death Inspired this Life-Saving System Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Every child remembers riding around the neighborhood on their bikes with their siblings or friends. You felt free, you could go as fast as you wanted, and you could do it for hours without getting tired. Most parents, however, usually have two rules when it comes to riding your bikes: Don't go too far and stay together. This is what Donna Williams told her two kids, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman and 5-year-old Ricky Hagerman. They agreed to follow these rules and set off on their bike ride. But kids will be kids, and they decided to push the boundaries a little. Ricky, afraid of getting in trouble, decided they should head back to the neighborhood, as they had strayed away from where they were supposed to be. Ricky heads back to his grandparents' house, assuming Amber was right behind him. All seemed normal and Ricky felt like they had dodged being caught. That was, until, he turned around and realized he was in his grandparents' yard alone. Amber was nowhere to be found. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a young girl's tragic kidnapping and murder inspired the creation of a revolutionary database dedicated to finding missing children.

Selena Quintanilla: How a Rising Star Was Killed By Jealous Best Friend Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

The music industry seems to be almost impossible to break into. Especially when your genre of music is dominated by the gender opposite of you. Your product has to be consistent and really special to stand out against everybody else's. Selena Quintanilla's father struggled sometimes to raise their family. But when he heard her sing, he knew he could turn her into a star. With her brother and sister right behind her, the band Selena y Los Dinos was born.

So much so, that a woman approached her father about starting a fan club for Selena's brand. Her fandom was only growing, and she wanted to bring them closer to Selena. But what the Quintanilla family didn't know was that this woman, Yolanda Saldivar, had been plotting all along to get as close as possible to Selena, who she was secretly obsessed with. Nobody had any idea what she was up to, until thousands of dollars were missing out of the fan club bank account. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a young, beautiful star was betrayed by the person she trusted the most, and paid the ultimate price for it.

The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam- How a Bright College Student Ended up Inside of a Hotel Water Tank Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

Going on a trip alone as a young woman can be intimidating. Oftentimes, women are seen as being more vulnerable, especially when they're alone. 21-year-old Elisa Lam's parents feared that their daughter would be viewed this way and taken advantage of during her solo trip to California. Despite her parents' concerns, Elisa was determined to get away from the stress of school and take some time to herself. But when Elisa failed to check out of the infamous hotel she was staying at, The Cecil Hotel, and never contacted her parents, they decided to report her missing. There were no leads on where Elisa may have been. That was, until, police discovered surveillance footage of Elisa from inside an elevator in the hotel. Her strange behavior seemed to suggest that something far more sinister was going on. Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how a trip to the West Coast turned into a cautionary tale of the risks of a mental health crisis.

A Secret Obsession with a Young Girl Leads to Tragedy: The Kidnapping of Hannah Anderson Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever had a family member who you weren't related to, but they're so close to your parents that they're pretty much another aunt/uncle? This was the case for Hannah Anderson. Hannah, being a 16-year-old girl, liked having an uncle like her dad's best friend, Jim. He allowed her and her friends to have parties, drink, and gave her rides wherever she wanted. Hannah could pretty much do whatever she wanted at his house. Jim seemed to be the coolest adult to have around. That was, until, he made a comment towards Hannah that left her feeling very uncomfortable around him. After this, she stonewalled him. She ignored his texts, became standoffish when he came around her family, and stopped going over his house. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how one man's desperate attempt to corner the underage object of his desire resulted in tragedy for her entire family.

Shanquella Robinson: Freak Accident or Brutal Murder? Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Being on vacation is like being in an alternate reality. You get a break from your everyday life of working and stress. You get to party, have fun, and not worry about any responsibilities. This is what Shanquella Robinson was looking forward to when she took a trip to Mexico with seven other people. She couldn't wait to let loose, enjoy herself, and stay in a luxury villa. But nobody expected that she would never come home. When the seven people Shanquella went to Mexico with came home with differing stories about what happened to her, people began to suspect that they may have been involved in her death. These suspicions grew even more when a video was released of Shanquella being brutally attacked by one of the seven, as well as an autopsy that seemed to explain the injuries she may have sustained from that attack. Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how a young woman's mysterious death seemed to lead back to her so-called "friends".Timestamps:Shanquella Robinson Background- 00:54 The Trip to Mexico- 2:40 The Video and Autopsy- 15:20New Evidence- 25:05 Shanquella’s Legacy- 29:00Support CrimeDive using the link below!⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/crimedive-podcast/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠

A Dynasty Crumbles | The Murdaugh Family Murders Trial: Part 2 Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

The Murdaughs were a longstanding, honorable family that ran the biggest law firm in Hampton, South Carolina as far back as the early 1900s. For over a century, this small, southern town saw them as being prestigious, wealthy, and respected.

As the time neared for him, as well as his father, who was also deemed liable, to face the legal consequences of this tragedy, another unspeakable tragedy occurred at the Murdaugh family home. When the patriarch of the family is being investigated as the prime suspect, law enforcement uncover years of fraud, and reopened the investigation of two other mysterious deaths that the family seems to be tied to. These were all seen as motives to kill the two people closest to him.Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how this once-revered family's legacy is now shrouded in mystery, corruption, and disgrace.Support CrimeDive using the link below!⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/crimedive-podcast/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠
