June 14th: Tamika Huston Reported Missing (2004)
Some cases, unfortunately, fall by the wayside. On June 14th 2004 a young woman disappeared in a case that got completely buried under other, more highly publicized ones. A fact that, many believe, slowed down the investigation and stalled an arrest.

June 10th: Arthur Gary Bishop Executed (1988)
Coming forward with your trauma can be incredibly difficult, even impossible for some. On June 10th 1988 a man was executed for crimes that he managed to continue for 4 years due, in part, to a group of individuals who felt they could not come forward with the trauma their children suffered at this man’s hands.

A Deadly Boyfriend - June 8 2023 Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

June 8th: David Ivy Kills (2001)
While it might scare off some, at the end of the day an order of protection is nothing but a piece of paper. On June 8th 2001 a young woman who, on multiple occasions, told police how dangerous her ex-boyfriend was, lost her life when she was gunned down in a parking lot. The order of protection she had just gotten did nothing to shield her from his bullets.
