SERIAL SNIPER: Mark Essex May 04, 2020

Show notes

Mark “Jimmy” Essex joined the Navy at the advice of his father because it was the least “racist.” But after joining, Jimmy realized racism was everywhere and he became disillusioned as a young black sailor. After he was discharged from the Navy, he got more and more angry at the perceived racism in the country (during the 70's), so he decided to take matters in his own hands and he began his own personal war with the NOLA police department.

But this story isn’t only about the life and death of Jimmy and the 9 people who he killed. This story is about a hero named Charles Pitman, a U.S. Marine pilot who decided to take matters into his own hands, when he heard about the ongoing situation in downtown NOLA.

Dig in with Margot as she tells you one story about two servicemen – one died a murderer, while the other shined as a hero.

SERIAL KILLER: Ward Weaver Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

On February 5, 1981, Robert Redford and Barbara Levoy were driving from California to Nevada to go to Robert’s first duty station, Nellis AFB. Along the way, their car broke down and a trucker stopped to give them a ride. Later, Robert was found dead on the side of the road, and for two years, Barbara was listed as a missing person.

Investigators would get a lead in the case a few years later when a jailhouse snitch told them someone confessed to him. The confession came from a man named Ward Weaver Jr. who was sitting in jail, sentenced to 38 years for false imprisonment, rape, and other offenses and he had something to say. Dig in with Margot as she walks you through the first two branches in the Weaver family tree.

Be sure to subscribe to Wife of Crime Podcast to listen to Part 2, which will be released on April 15, 2020. Wife of Crime will discuss the next two branches in the Weaver family tree.

This case will make you believe there is actually a killer gene.

But when she turned up pregnant and it was possibly Corporal Laurean’s baby, Lance Corporal Lauterbach vanished a month before her baby was due. But what happened? Did she run away from the Marine Corps or did someone make her disappear to silence her? Dig in with Margot as she navigates this particularly difficult story to tell.

You thought you heard it all when you listened to Margot’s 3-part series on BTK, but today, she is bringing you BTK himself. In his own words.
