Special Episode! MURDER: The Death of Maribel Torres Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

In 2018, the remains of Maribel Torres were discovered in a canal in Miami, and her husband Jimmy was charged with her murder. He is currently awaiting trial, and the allegations presented against him in this episode stem from statements made by the victim’s sister as well as a witness who led police to Maribel’s body.

In Miami, a nonprofit organization called KidSide provides funding for Family Court Services, a unit that provides critical assistance, counseling, and other resources to children from low-income families involved in high conflict court cases. Without KidSide, many kids wouldn’t have access to these life-changing services that provide vital protection for underserved children in crisis. When Jimmy Torres was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after his wife’s body was found, their children received assistance from Family Court Services in the form of individual therapy and supervised visits with their father.

Kara and I are participating in Give Miami Day to raise money for KidSide. We’re really hoping you guys will help us throw a lot of money at this organization that exists to help children who are already in crisis, who are at risk for further problems later in life. To join us and donate to KidSide, go to: https://www.givemiamiday.org/fundraise/15906/join-me-in-supporting-kidside-inc. The giving window opens Monday, November 15 and closes Thursday, November 18. Please help us spread the word by sharing the link and information with your friends. Thanks guys! We love you.

Show notes

Fifteen-year-old Twilight Crooks was murdered in 2001, and we’re frustrated that there’s so little information available on the case that we couldn’t even do a full episode on her. Tune in, learn more, and start talking about this one, guys. Someone has to know SOMETHING.

Our Tuesday episodes are known as Sidepieces—these are the stories we don’t usually have enough info on for a full episode, and are often sent in by you guys!
