    Christina Mae Watson went on her honeymoon with her new husband Gabe to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. She had a heart condition but she got her diving certificate and joined her husband in smaller dives. This would be her first time diving in the open ocean. Two minutes after she got in the water with Gabe, Gabe came to the surface and asked for help retrieving Tina, she had lost consciousness and sank to the bottom of the ocean. She did not survive. Gabe was convicted of manslaughter because he had failed to rescue her however some people believe he actually was the one that caused her air supply to be cut off in the first place.

    In this terrible episode I talk about the spree killings of Andrew Cunanan. He is mostly known for killing the fashion designer Gianni Versace. Andrew had a desire to live a luxury lifestyle that seems he was never able to obtain. His motives for his killings are still unknown to this day. The FBI believes he was targeting gay men however there is no official motive. Check out the Netflix series on him called American Crime Story Season 2 as they go into this case and is just a great series in general.

    Gabriel Fernandez was a sweet little boy from Palmdale, Ca. He spent the last 6 months of his life being physically abused by his mother Pearl Fernandez and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. On May 22nd, 2013 he was beat so badly he eventually passed in the hospital. His family, teacher, strangers, and more all reported that they suspected he was being abused to the Los Angeles Department of Family and Child Services and also to the Los Angeles County Sheriffs however, his case was never taken seriously and he was never removed from the home where he was tortured daily. He lived a beautiful life until the last 6 months, he was loved and will always be loved and remembered by his community. The people of Los Angeles demand change from DCFS so kids will stop being killed by their abusers but there is a long way to go for them to implement real and meaningful changes. This episode will discuss some of the abuse he suffered so I want to add a trigger warning here for those who cannot handle child abuse.

    Selena Quintanilla Perez was at the peak of her career when her friend and business partner shot and killed her. Selena was able to accomplish so much in her short time on this Earth but her legacy lives on. She is just as famous now as she was when she was alive. She has influenced people like Beyoncé, J-Lo, Keke Palmer, etc. and she continues to be influential to so many to this day. This case is a personal one to me, I grew up listening to Selena and watching her performances on TV and her murder was my first introduction to murder and understanding why people kill other people. If you do not know who she is, I recommend seeing some videos of her on YouTube and listen to a few of her songs to see what she was like for yourself. I also give a personal opinion at the end....

She gives us a great perspective of what she has gone through since her boy was taken from her. I hope that including this point of view, us true crime fans can understand what the surviving family feels and goes through when their loved one is taken and murdered. I also want to say that I took a long break from posting new episodes and I apologize for that. As always I will include my sources below and please contact me at crimecastlepod@gmail.com.
