Show notes

January 24th: Susan Wright Turns Self In(2014)
When one person in a messy equation is dead, it’s hard to know what is fact and what is fiction. On January 24th 2014 a woman turned herself in for a crime that, if she was to be believed, was an act of self-defense. A hard theory to prove when the other person involved, her own husband, was found buried in her backyard.

Abduction and Torture - January 21 2023 Jan 21, 2023

Show notes

January 21st: Ilan Halimi Kidnapped (2006)
Preconceived notions can be dangerous. On January 21st 2006 a young man, just 23 years old, was kidnapped simply because of the fact that he was Jewish and, as far as this group was concerned, all Jewish people had enough money to pay a hefty ransom. He would end up paying the ultimate consequence because of their preconceived notion and antisemitism.

January 20th: Dimitrious Gargasoulas Kills (2017)
One small difference can change absolutely everything. On January 20th 2017 a man went on a rampage that saw the deaths of 6 complete strangers. A man that, had one small legal change occurred prior to his killing spree rather than in the aftermath, would have left him behind bars and unable to take a human life.
