Fort Knox: MSG Ashley Henning (KY v. Jordan Henning) Apr 14, 2025

Show notes

On June 26, 2023, Sergeant First Class Ashley Henning was celebrating her 37th birthday with her family and a few close friends. But what was meant to be a happy occasion ended in tragedy, when home surveillance footage captured Jordan Henning, her husband and also a soldier, shooting and killing his wife, before fleeing the scene.

Jordan Henning was subsequently charged with murder by the state of Kentucky and he would have his day in court in March 2025, where he would testify in his defense that he was a battered husband who suffered at the hands of his wife.

Jordan’s testimony was NOT corroborated by anyone who knew the couple. And the video surveillance footage also painted a different story.

When the jury returned their verdict, everyone was shocked. Was there really justice for Ashley Henning, a 20-year Army veteran?

Listen to this episode, where Margot does a deep dive into the courtroom testimony.

Crossbow Killings: The Hunt Family Tragedy (R v. Kyle Clifford) Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

On July 9, 2024, evil walked into a house on a quiet cul-de-sac on Ashlyn Close in Bushey, Hertforshire, England. And when it walked out, he had taken the lives of 3 women in the Hunt Family - Carol, Louise, and Hannah Hunt.

This massacre, dubbed the Crossbow Killings, gained widespread media attention for its brutality and calculated execution. The perpetrator was Kyle Clifford, a former British Army serviceman.

Join Margot, as she discusses Clifford's premeditation, his twisted mindset, and the subsequent trial, where he was thankfully sentenced to a whole life order (British lingo for life without parole).

Read the judge's full sentencing ruling here.

VIRGINIA: Mamta Bhatt (VA v. Naresh Bhatt) Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

In the summer of 2024, when pediatric nurse, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, failed to report to work, her coworkers asked for a welfare check at her home in Manassas Park. An innocent encounter at her home with her husband, Naresh Bhatt, didn’t reveal any signs that anything was wrong. However, details of Mamta’s troubled marriage coupled with lies that Naresh told police on that first visit would eventually lead to murder charges. The missing persons case remains unsolved with a looming trial date for Naresh set in September 2025.

Join Margot as she takes you through the information that has been released to the public as we explore no-body trial cases.
