126: “The Pastor’s Wife” - The Murder of Anna “Karissa” Grandine - Toronto, Canada - [Part 1 of 2] Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

A hospital visit, an affair, and unexplained symptoms.

The summer of 2011 should have been an incredible time for Karissa and Philip Grandine. Married for three years, the couple found out they were expecting their first child.

However shortly after recovering the news that Karissa was pregnant, the Grandine marriage began to unravel.

By the fall, Philip called 911 to report that he had found his 29-year-old wife unresponsive in the bathtub while he was out for a jog. But police were suspicious of Philip’s story from the very beginning…and they had their reasons.

Thanks so much, Heather!

119: “I’m No Pearl Fernandez” - The Case of Anthony Avalos - Lancaster, CA - [Part 2 of 2] May 11, 2023

Show notes

A bench trial, a civil suit, and two defenses.

On June 20th, 2018 Heather Barron called 911 to report that her 10-year-old was unresponsive and not breathing.

Heather Barron and her boyfriend Kareem Leiva were both charged with murder.

Many felt Los Ángeles Department of Children and Family Services also had responsibility for the multiple failures that led to Anthony’s death.

As Anthony’s case made it through the courts another child, 4-year-old Noah Cuatro, died while his family was under the supervision of Los Ángeles DCFS.

If you suspect a child in your life is being abused, in the US, you can call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 24/7 (1-800) 4-A-Child or (1-800) 422-4453https://www.childhelp.org/

118: "I'm No Pearl Fernandez" - The Case of Anthony Avalos - Lancaster, CA - [Part 1 of 2] May 04, 2023

Show notes

A letter, repeated calls to DCFS, and gang ties.

On June 20th, 2018 Heather Barron called 911 to report that her 10-year-old was unresponsive and not breathing.

She gave multiple accounts of what happened that day and how her son had been injured but not one of her stories explained the severity of Anthony's injuries.

As investigators took a closer look it was an all too familiar story. Anthony's case was strikingly similar to the murder of Gabriel Fernandez in 2013. Some of the same child welfare officials who failed to take action in Gabriel's case, also failed Anthony, despite years of abuse allegations of Anthony and his siblings at the hands of their mother and her boyfriend, Kareem Leiva.

117: “Mistaken Release” - The Murders of Leon Pye, Kaeos Yates & Andrea Blankenship Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

An early release, a triple homicide, and an attack.

In 2021 in Chickasha, Oklahoma, Lawrence Paul Anderson was released from prison early.

Just weeks after his release he brutally murdered three people, his uncle, Leon Pye, four-year-old Kaeos Yates, and Andrea Blankenship.

Had Lawrence Paul Anderson been mistakenly released from prison?
