Ep58 - Napa Halloween Murders

In the early morning hours of November 1, 2004, Lauren Meanza, Leslie Mazzara and Adriane Insogna were sleeping in their Napa, CA home.  Lauren would be woken by the sounds of a struggle and her roommate’s screams.

When she climbed the stairs, she found a horrific scene, Leslie and Adriane brutally murdered. 

Over the next year, Napa police, who hadn’t seen a homicide in 3 years,  would interview 1300 people and take 218 DNA samples but would make no arrests; until they caught a break, the murderer would turn himself in.

Tonight, we will take you through the double homicide that rocked wine country, the investigation and conviction of the man responsible for taking the lives of two promising young women and his surprising connection to them.

Ep57 - Cindy James

This week we are discussing the mysterious death of Cindy James. Cindy was living in Canada when she began receiving disturbing phone calls. Phone calls turned to threatening letters, and that turned into weird things happening at her home. These bizarre instances culminated in Cindy being attacked on five separate occasions over seven years.

Despite all of the contact that was being made with Cindy, police were unable to ever pinpoint a suspect. Police conducted multiple in depth investigations into who could be responsible, but again, no one was identified.

Cindy’s ordeal came to a tragic end 7 years after the first phone call, but many questioned remained. Most importantly, who was responsible for the Cindy’s harassment and ultimate death? And did she do this to herself? Or did the person responsible evade capture, despite the heavy police presence?

Ep55 - The Murder of Sandra Cantu

This topic was suggested to us by my roommate Austin, the one I went to Carmel with. I asked her for a case suggestion and she immediately said this one because it was a case that stuck with her. Once we got to researching, we quickly realized WHY it stuck with her.

This episode we will be discussing the abduction and murder of Sandra Cantu. Sandra vanished from the mobile home park where she lived with her family. With seemingly no leads, investigators worked tirelessly to find her.

With the accidental discovery of Sandra’s body the case shifted from a missing persons investigation to a homicide investigation. But the most shocking piece of the puzzle was yet to come. This week we will discuss the event surrounding Sandra’s disappearance, the extensive investigation, and the unlikely culprit.

Ep54 - Billy Glaze

This week we will be discussing a series of murders that happened in Minneapolis over a nine month period, from 1986-1987. Three women were found murdered near homeless encampments on the outskirts of downtown. All of the murders were eerily similar. All of the women were beaten, assaulted, and posed after their deaths. Also, all three victims were indigenous women and local to the area.

After the third victim was discovered, a task force was formed to try and identify the serial killer prowling the streets of Minneapolis. Police caught a break in the case and a suspect was arrested. By 1989, prosecutors secured their conviction and the case was considered close by law enforcement and the public.

Years later, with recanted testimony and new DNA testing abilities, the guilt of the person convicted was called into question. Did the state get it right the first time?  Or was the wrong person in prison for these heinous murders?

Ep53 - Cara Knott

On December 27th, 1986 20 year old Cara Knott was driving home from her boyfriend’s house; she called her father to let her know that she left and then she started the 45 minute drive home. 

Cara never made it home, however.  The following day her car and body would be discovered under a bridge, by a desolate off-ramp off the 15 Freeway in San Diego County, CA.

The investigation into Cara’s murder will shine the light on a once respected CHP Officer’s disturbing pattern of behavior and bring justice and closure to Cara’s family. 

Tonight we will take you through Cara’s murder, the investigation, conviction and after math of the murder of Cara Evelyn Knott.

Ep52 - Xiana Fairchild and Amber Swartz

In mid-August 2000 an 8 year old girl came running into traffic. She flagged down a car and quite literally jumped through the window. She said she had been kidnapped two days earlier. Hours later the man responsible was apprehended.

After his arrest, the man started talking. Soon the talking turned to confessions for not one but eight kidnappings and murders. Two of the murders the man confessed to were two high profile kidnappings from the Bay Area that had not been solved, and one was over 10 years old.

With a list of confessions and very little evidence to go on, investigators got to work trying to corroborate this man’s story. Did law enforcement accidentally stumble upon an active serial killer? Or was this the work of someone who confessed to crimes he didn’t commit to torture families of missing persons? This week we will discuss the circumstances around the arrest and subsequent investigations.

Ep49 - Covina Massacre

On the night of December 24th, 2008, a large family Christmas party was winding down. It had been another successful holiday party for the Ortega family, but shortly after 11:30 pm a man approached the residence. Once the door was opened, he forced himself in and started opening fire.

During the chaos, a call was placed to 911 that identified the shooter as the ex husband of one of the family members. Shortly after that, the house went up in flames and Pardo fled. By the end of the attack, 9 people would be dead at the hands of someone they knew. Bruce Jeffery Pardo had recently divorced his wife Sylvia and the house he attacked belonged to his ex in-laws.

By the time law enforcement tracked Pardo down, he was dead. He had killed himself shortly after the attack, but evidence showed suicide wasn’t his original plan.

Despite the divorce, anyone who knew the couple was taken aback by Pardo’s actions. Nothing about Pardo’s past suggested that he would commit such an atrocious crime, but it quickly became clear that he had been planning the attack for some time.

This week, we will go through the crime, the victims, and the man responsible. Personally, I find this case so disturbing because many of the warning signs you could look for were not there.

Ep48 - Henry Louis Wallace

This week we will be discussing Henry Louis Wallace. Wallace is a serial killer who operated in Charlotte, North Carolina in the early 1990s. This is another case, where we see how crimes are treated different across racial lines.

Wallace’s victims were African American. He killed in the area for nearly 2 years before he was caught, but police weren’t actively pursuing a serial killer until 3 days before Wallace was arrested.

This week, we will talk about who Henry Louis Wallace is, and more importantly, who his victims were, and how he was able to evade capture for 22 months.

Ep47 - Kevin Cooper

This week we are discussing Kevin Cooper, an African American man who was convicted in a quadruple homicide of a white family in Chino Hills, California in 1983. Kevin Cooper was found guilty and sentenced to death for the horrific crime. After his conviction, many questions were raised about his involvement.

On death row since the 80’s, many people have spoken out on behalf of Kevin and their belief in his innocence. This week we will discuss the crime that put him in prison, the evidence that put him there, and what evidence is disputed.

Is Kevin Cooper guilty? Or is the state of California keeping an innocent man on death row? The one thing we know for sure about this case, is there aren’t many clear cut answers.

No matter what side of the issue you find yourself on, this case is extremely controversial and raises questions about the death penalty in the United States.

Ep46 - Claudia Brenner & Rebecca Wight

In May of 1988, Rebecca Wight and Claudia Brenner were spending a romantic weekend camping and hiking along the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania’s Michaux State Forest.  After an encounter with a stranger when Rebecca used an outhouse at their first campsite, they decided to hike further down the trail for more privacy.

During their hike to their second location, they encountered the same man, this time with a gun casually laid across his shoulders; they didn't assume too much other than he was a drifter or hunter and everyone went their own way.

After finding a nice secluded hollow, four miles from the closest road, they setup camp and thinking they were alone, they started to be intimate.  Without warning, Claudia and Rebecca would find themselves under fire.  Eight shots range out, and in a few moments, Claudia would have been shot five times and Rebecca twice.  

Unable to walk, Rebecca told Claudia to keep the pressure on her wounds and go get help.  Claudia hiked four miles to the nearest road and found a ride to the local police station. 

Rebecca died that night in the forest, Claudia survived and Stephen Roy Carr, who shot the two women because “he was enraged by the sight of two women having sex” and that the “two women taunted him by having sex in front of him” was caught in 10 days.

Tonight we will take you through Rebecca and Claudia’s story and how Claudia devoted herself to fighting anti-gay bias and became and advocate for the advancement of anti-hate legislation.

Ep45 - Regina and Margaret DeFrancisco

Regina and Margaret DeFrancisco are two sisters who made headlines when they were just teenagers in the summer of 2000. Regina’s boyfriend, Oscar Velazquez was found dead in a vacant lot, shot, wrapped in a tarp, and set on fire. The crime scene was gruesome and the act seemed personal.

Law enforcement narrowed down on the two sisters as prime suspects. From the first round of questioning, police were suspicious of the two. Their alibis didn’t match up and they were nervous. Police let them go, but before they could be arrested for murder, the two girls had fled.

For the next two years the two girls would evade capture. It wasn’t until the story of Oscar’s murder was aired on Unsolved Mysteries and America’s Most Wanted was there a break in the case.

This week we will discuss the circumstances around Oscar’s murder, what led to the sisters’ captures, and what could have possibly motivated them to commit such a heinous crime.

***Remember to stay tuned after the outro to hear from our best pod friend Court Junkie!!***

Ep44 - Rosa Delgado and Rosita Camacho

This week we will be discussing the disappearance of 21-year-old Rosa Delgado and her 4 year old daughter Rosita Camacho from Hartford, Connecticut in late October 1997. A month later, hunters would discover a woman’s body floating in a late in New Jersey that was missing her head and hands.

Although homicide was the obvious cause of death, authorities were unable to identify the woman for almost two years. In 1999, DNA tests proved that the ‘lady in the lake’, as she had been dubbed by local news outlets, was actually Rosa Delgado. 

Although Rosa’s family was finally able to bring her home, they were left with more questions than answers. Who did this to Rosa? Why? And, most importantly, where was Rosita.

This week we will be discussing the circumstances surrounding Rosa and Rosita’s disappearance, the prime suspect, and what could have happened to Rosita.

Spoiler alert, we get pretty fired up.

Weepy Voiced Killer 911/Confession Audio

For those having audio issues hearing the 911 calls and the confession audio, see below:

You can hear the 911 Calls after the murders, you can go here, go to the following timestamps (in order of how they are used in the episode):  1:10, 1:00, 0:00 (beginning), 0:32. 

For Paul's 911 call when he was hurt, go here and to time stamp 15:06.

For Paul's confession audio, to here and then to time stamp 22:27 and you can play the next few minutes to here him talk about Karen and Kimberly (among others).

Unfortunately, we cannot replicate the issue here, all devices we checked are playing the audio as normal.  Only thing we can think of is it's an issue with some players, apple and otherwise.  Only a few people seem to have this issue but just the same, we want everyone to be able to hear the entire story.

We apologize to those affected we have contacted apple to see if there is a resolution to the issue. We will hopefully hear from them soon.

Thank you!

Ep42 - Jacob Ryan Evans

Jacob Ryan Evans was 17 years old when he shot is mother and younger sister dead in their home in an affluent Texas suburb. Those who knew the family and knew the teen were shocked at the events. These actions didn’t fit in with the Jacob they thought they knew.

Today we will go through what we know about the crime, however this case is just another example of how sometimes there’s no making sense of the motive.

Ep41 - The Humboldt Missing Five

Since 1993, there have been 5 girls who have vanished, seemingly into thin air, never to be seen again. Over the years, they have been grouped together and referred to as the Humboldt Missing Five. Some say the cases could be related, but others think that the only thing they have in common is they have gone missing.

This week we will discuss who they are, the circumstances that are known about their disappearance, and what about this region makes it so easy for someone to disappear and not be found.

Ep40 - The Survival of Christy Salters

Christy Salters was a gifted athlete from a young age.  After entering a Tough Woman Contest, which is an amateur boxing match, she knew that’s what she wanted to do. 

Finding a trainer to take a woman in a male dominated sport in the 1990’s was a challenge and only toughest and most skilled would even get a glance by a trainer; Christy got that glance and got herself a seasoned trainer.  She ended up earning the Women’s Light Middle Weight Champ of the World title and married her trainer, Jim Martin.

Christy had a secret though, a secret that, according to her husband, would kill her career; and also according to her husband, if she acted on her desires or left him, he would let the world know her secret and then kill her, and he did try.

Tonight we take you through the harrowing survival of this gifted athlete who put women’s boxing on the map; tonight we take you through The Survival of Christy Salters.

Ep39 - Junko Furuta

On November 25th, 1988, seventeen-year-old Junko Furuta, was walking after school.  She was kidnapped by four boys and held captive for 44 days.  In those 44 days, Junko would endure unthinkable brutal torture before she was killed.  Sadly, there were a few people, other than the four abductors, who knew that Junko was in that house being tortured, yet she remained because they did not go to the authorities. 

Her case would later be named the “concrete encased high school girl murder case” due to the state that her body was recovered in.

PLEASE NOTE: This episode is more graphic than our normal episodes; we decided we needed to share some of what was done to Junko in detail, so you can understand the brutality as well as get the full picture of the killers.  We give warning before we talk aobut those details.
