The Murder Police Podcast is a hobby for Wendy and David; a chance to speak with feeling about homicide investigations, the curiosity they draw and lift victims of violent crime up to be remembered with respect, as more that a Uniform Crime Reporting number or statistic.One goal from the beginning was that if the podcast ever generated any revenue, large or small, charitable giving would be a must.With the opening of a merch and store on the horizon in 2022, it was time.The Murder Police Podcast Focus Group, “The Squad”, was asked for suggestions for charities that had a broad reach helping victims of violent crime and their families.The Squad came through with many great suggestions with one standing out: The DNA Doe Project.  Our decision was cinched up with our interview with Sgt. ‘Cat' Catalano with the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office in California, as she detailed the identification of Patricia Skiple in April 2022.  Patricia was an unidentified victim of the Happy Face serial killer and went 30 years without a name, though her killer was convicted of her murder.The DNA Doe project is a non-profit organization focusing on the identification of human remains.  They work with law enforcement agencies to make specialized DNA sampling and testing and research to bring answers to family members and move cases forward.The DNA Doe project can be assisted through donation and or volunteering (imagine working a case and finding answers!).  And a huge help is to upload your DNA test results to GEDMatch or Family Tree DNA to add to the database and improve the likelihood of identifying people.Take a listen to this episode and hear Carienn Binder, the Director of the Director of Education and Development at DNA Doe Project, talk about the project and how we all can help.Learn more about the DNA Doe Project.Shop for Murder Police Podcast swag by clicking HERE today! 10% of ALL swag and merch proceeds are donated to the DNA Doe Project.

In this 4th and final episode, you will here a great amount of detail.  So much that we caution the listener and remind everyone that we should always focus on the victim and their surviving family and remember that graphic descriptions are only given on this podcast to set the context for challenges in investigations.For example, in cases where a body has decomposed, how are fingerprints taken? And if the condition is so poor that DNA sampling (over 20 years ago) cannot be made from the victim, are there alternatives?We move through the autopsy findings, more evidence, prosecution and even an appeal.And in the end, Paul Williams and Billy Richmond sum up most murders as attributable to greed, and the killer using a permanent solution to a temporary problem, destroying lives around them.As always, thank you for listening and remembering Mr. Aubrey Nuckolls.The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 1 of 4 | 10/25/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 2 of 4 | 11/1/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 3 of 4 | 11/8/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 4 of 4 | 11/15/2022Shop for Murder Police Podcast swag by clicking HERE today! 10% of ALL swag and merch proceeds are donated to the DNA Doe Project.

If you have come this far, you definitely want to stay in the loop.In this episode you will hear about the profound impact good citizens coming forward with what seems like small details have on critical investigations like this one.  For example, a storage shed manager not only finds it interesting that a particular shed gets an unannounced visit, but gets that visit after the cops were there.And, how many people have offered a place for a friend to store a car for a while?Who really solved cases?  The detectives or the community?We learn about a house on DeWeese Street (and why it's called a shotgun house of all things), and what roll it played in Aubrey's kidnapping and murder.  Interesting things are found from ammunition to dried blood.You will learn more about the suspect, who by the way wasn't a talker with the law, and likely was more interested in scooting off to Mexico.  And as an artist, did he find a new medium to create with?  Like murder?Take a listen as Paul Williams and Billy Richmond look for a mystery gun, and find a car in a rural area, surrounded by dead grass.The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 1 of 4 | 10/25/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 2 of 4 | 11/1/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 3 of 4 | 11/8/2022The Murder of Aubrey Nuckolls | Part 4 of 4 | 11/15/2022Next Stop GypsyThe most haunted podcast in town!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyGo to the Murder Police Podcast Merch Store HEREShop for Murder Police Podcast swag by clicking HERE today! 10% of ALL swag and merch proceeds are donated to the DNA Doe Project.
