Antolin Garcia-Torres Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

15-year-old Sierra LaMar left home to walk to her bus stop on a Friday morning near her California home. Although a man was convicted of murdering her five years later, Sierra has never been found. The authorities were able to narrow down the timeline of when Sierra was taken to around ten minutes. But the details that eventually emerged were shocking.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Antolin Garcia-Torres. Even as the evidence began mounting against him, Antolin maintained his innocence. His defense team was able to delay his trial for years and mounted a spirited defense. How the jury interpreted the evidence was key. The big question was around sentencing and whether they would hand down life or death.

Angelika Graswald Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

Angelika Graswald was accused of killing her fiancé during a 2015 kayaking trip on the Hudson River. Prosecutors argued that she wanted out of the relationship, so she intentionally removed the kayak’s drain plug, which contributed to its subsequent capsizing and her fiancé’s drowning.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the case of Angelika Graswald. She made numerous incriminating statements, even going so far as to say she wanted her fiancé dead. The trial came down to the prosecution's theory against the defense's testing of the theories and the possibilities of how things may have happened that day.

Steven Jones Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Steven Jones was a freshman at Northern Arizona University. In October 2015, he was involved in a confrontation that turned violent. It ended with Steven killing another NAU student and injuring three more. Steven claimed he acted in self-defense because he feared for his life, while prosecutors argued he shot the students in a premeditated rampage because his pride was hurt.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Steven Jones. There were conflicting stories on each side, which made this case very tough for investigators. Was Steven Jones justified in his actions because he was fearful for his life, or did he commit cold-blooded murder?

Melissa Merritt Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

In less than five years, Bill Harrison, his wife Bridget, and their son Caleb all died in the same home. The first death was ruled natural, the second suspicious, but the third was immediately declared a homicide. The police looked to Caleb’s ex-wife, Melissa Merritt, who was in the middle of a custody battle with Caleb and his parents.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Melissa Merritt. The police zeroed in not only on Melissa but also on her boyfriend, Christopher Fattore. As they untangled a web of deceit, one of the biggest questions that arose was how much culpability each person bore.

Christopher McCowen Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

Christa Worthington, a former fashion journalist and single mother who lived in Truro, a town on northern Cape Cod, was murdered in January 2002. Three years later, DNA evidence matched a surprising suspect, a local sanitation worker.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Christopher McCowen. McCowen told several different stories but was linked to the murder through DNA, and a jury thought the evidence proved his guilt. However, a recently discovered article of clothing may point to another person whom Chris said he was with that night. The testing has yet to be completed.

Edward Cairney and Avril Jones Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

In the late ‘90s, Margaret Fleming was living under the care of Edward Cairney and Avril Jones, friends of her deceased father. In October 2016, the police launched an investigation when concerns were raised about a benefits claim made by Avril on Margaret’s behalf.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Edward Cairney and Avril Jones. The police found no trace of Margaret and learned she hadn’t been seen or heard from in years. It took a very long time, but when police finally developed their theory, it was dastardly.

Nancy Brophy Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

Nancy Brophy is a former author who wrote romantic suspense novels. She once wrote an essay on how to get away with murder. When her husband was found murdered, Nancy quickly became the prime suspect.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Nancy Brophy. Prosecutors believed she spent months plotting the murder to cash in on more than a million dollars of life insurance money. They also think she used a crime thriller-like twist to try to get away with the perfect murder.

Stephen Marshall Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

In March and April 2009, a man’s dismembered remains were scattered across two counties in England. The “jigsaw man,” as the media called the victim, was identified as 49-year-old Jeffrey Howe. The main suspect was his roommate and “best friend,” Stephen Marshall.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Stephen Marshall. Jeffrey Howe thought he was helping out Stephen Marshall and his girlfriend, Sarah Bush, by allowing them both to stay in his home. But Jeffrey soon realized he had made a mistake because the pair ate up his food and contributed little. Jeffrey Howe would never get the chance to kick them out.

Dale Bruner Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Dale Bruner reported his wife Stephanie missing on November 23rd, 2010. He told the police she left the house to cool off after an argument. Throughout the investigation, the police found evidence of a troubled marriage and incidents of domestic violence that caused Stephanie to file for divorce.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Dale Bruner. It was revealed that Stephanie was emotionally involved with a man, and the two had confided in each other that they were in love. Did Dale Bruner find out about this and kill his wife as he felt he was losing control?

Meg Wellnitz-Appleton and Bill Meece Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

In 1993, Joseph Wellnitz, his wife Beth, and their 20-year-old son Dennis were murdered inside their Columbia, Kentucky home. Although the police had their suspicions early on, it took nearly a decade to catch the killer.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Meg Wellnitz-Appleton and Bill Meece. For years, their alibis stood up and prevented the authorities from moving forward against them. But when Bill got a divorce from his wife, his world turned upside down. Meg and Bill told differing stories, and it would be up to juries to decide who was telling the truth.
