Marginalized Murder — True Crime
Marginalized Murder

This season of Marginalized Murder we dive into “The Case of the 51 largest active serial murder mystery in the county. Over the course of twenty years at least 51 women were strangled to death in the South and West side of Chicago . I speak with Thomas Hargrove, the founder of the Murder Accountability Project and the creator of the algorithm that cracked this cold case wide open. We also meet some of the victim’s family members like Sharon Pritchett, whose beloved sister Gwendolyn Williams was stolen from her by a killer who the Chicago DA refused to prosecute. Then there are community activists and local politicians like Reverend Hood and Senator Patricia Van Pelt, who fight to keep this case alive and bring answers to the heartbroken family members and friends left behind.
Join me as I attempt to uncover who killed the majority of these women, who were murdered by not one, but potentially two to three serial killers. A story with little answers; until the summer of 2021 when a major break in the case is unearthed: the reemergence of a confession tape from a convicted serial killer who admits to murdering victims to death across five states, including Illinois. Help me try to find peace to the victims, justice to the perpetrators, and cast an eye of scrutiny to a justice system that overlooks marginalized victims living on the fringes. It all starts in Chicago..

S1E7: Breaking The Cycle Jun 30, 2022

Episode 7: Breaking the Cycle

Vann’s confessing to strangling women in Illinois points to a profound reality: not only is Hargrove’s algorithm effective at detecting serial murder activity, but it detected two clusters involving the same serial killer…

While many unanswered questions in the case of the 51 remain, grassroots activists and organizations like Mother’s Opposed to Violence Everywhere work towards local and federal legislature reform to prevent violent crimes against, especially black and brown, women.

One of their main policies focuses on Hargrove’s work, including mandating federal use of the algorithm in all jurisdictions across the country.

S1E6: A Serial Killer’s Confession… Jun 23, 2022

Back in 2014, Thomas Hargrove’s algorithm sounded the alarm on a cluster of potential serial murder activity brewing Gary, Indiana. Despite Hargrove’s repeated efforts to share his data, the Hammond Police turned a blind eye until a few months later when the information became a reality.

In October of 2014, Darren Deon Vann was arrested for the murder of Afrikka Hardy. In addition to admitting to strangling Hardy to death, Vann confessed to strangling six more women.

Even more chilling, in a taped interview with Hammond Detectives, Vann admitted to killing women across the country, including Chicago…

In 2007, Theresa Bunn and Hazel Marie Lewis’ bodies were found one day apart in Washington Park. They were both strangled to death, dumped in trash cans, and set on fire within 24 hours of each other.

Detective Hamilton dives into the eerie circumstances surrounding the case and a major clue that points to a convicted serial killer using public transit to commit his crimes…

Episode 4: Murderers Amongst Us

Despite ample DNA found at the scene of Gwendolyn Williams’ murder pointing to a suspect named Gerald Lyons, the District Attorney refuses to prosecute this case, bringing the wheels of justice to a screeching halt.

When little is done to eradicate the massive DNA backlog, local community activists and state politicians, including Reverend Robin Hood and Senator Patricia Van Pelt, take action in the hopes of unearthing new answers for these victims and their families.

S1E3: Justice for Gwen? Jun 02, 2022

Episode 3: Justice for Gwen?

In 2001, Dr. Sharon Pritchett’s life is upended when her oldest sister, Gwendolyn Williams, is found strangled to death behind a 99 cent store. Her murder is seemingly random until Pritchett learns that her sister’s case is a part of a mysterious pattern of 51 murders that has plagued the city of Chicago for the last two decades.

With little momentum, the case goes cold until Pritchett discovers a major backlog with DNA testing in the Illinois State lab system that has kept the truth of who is behind her sister's murder buried away for years...
