On February 2, 2021, Daniel Howard called 911 to report that his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kendy had shot herself. Howard told 911 dispatchers that he found Kendy in the bathtub with a gunshot wound in her mouth. Earlier that day, Kendy had gotten her nails done and she was in the midst of scheduling appointments to start a “body transformation.” She just moved into a new home in Kamiah, Idaho, and according to her friends, she was excited about starting a new job after being transferred to a different location. So why would Kendy Howard kill herself? A better question might be: did Kendy Howard commit suicide?

TW: SEXUAL ASSAULT/RAPE April is National Sexual Assault Awareness month. According to the Center for Disease Control, sexual violence affects millions of people every year in the United States. According to RAINN, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. 1 in 4 women have experienced either a completed or attempted rape. Besides April being National Sexual Assault Awareness month, there are a few other reasons I wanted to discuss the cases in today's episode. First, the rapes and sexual assaults covered in this episode actually took place near where I grew up in SE Portland, several years before I was born. And second, this episode is a warning to all listeners who live in Oregon because the asshole I'm going to talk about today is out amongst you and could actually be living in your neighborhood - and the state isn't required to tell you that he lives there.  RAINN Connect with Us ---------------------------------- Sources: https://www.courttv.com/news/serial-jogger-rapist-to-be-released-from-oregon-prison/ https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2022/12/jogger-rapist-richard-gillmore-to-be-released-friday-victim-plans-to-make-sure-his-neighbors-know-about-him.html?outputType=amp https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2022/10/serial-rapist-richard-gillmore-to-be-released-from-prison-before-end-of-year-as-a-low-level-sex-offender.html?outputType=amp https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/serial-jogger-rapist-released-oregon-prison-rcna51388 https://www.kptv.com/2022/12/16/portlands-jogger-rapist-released-friday-after-36-years-prison-victims-concerned-outraged/?outputType=amp https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/jogger-rapist-officially-released-from-prison-after-36-year-sentence/amp/ https://www.kptv.com/2022/12/06/survivors-jogger-rapist-say-release-is-surreal-scary/?outputType=amp https://www.koin.com/news/special-reports/inside-the-mind-of-oregons-jogger-rapist/amp/ https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/03/07/rape-victims-seek-stronger-voice-in-how-oregon-classifies-sex-offenders/ https://katu.com/amp/news/local/portland-jogger-rapist-released-on-parole-as-low-risk-sex-offender-richard-gillmore-survivor-posts-warnings-oregon-state-board-multnomah-county-transitional-housing https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2022/11/how-the-state-classified-serial-rapist-richard-gillmore-as-a-low-level-sex-offender.html https://www.foxnews.com/us/victims-portland-jogger-rapist-outraged-released-prison-low-level-offender.amp https://kpic.com/amp/news/local/jogger-rapist-richard-gillmore-set-to-be-released-victim-advocates-want-emergency-order https://www.oregonlive.com/oregonianextra/2008/07/jogger_rapist_richard_troy_gil_1.html https://katu.com/amp/news/local/portland-jogger-rapist-to-be-released-on-parole-we-never-got-justice-survivor-says-richard-gillmore-multnomah-county-department-corrections-justice-oregon-statute-limitations https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2012/06/jogger_rapist_richard_gillmore.html https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2010/06/richard_gillmore_denied_parole.html https://www.portlandtribune.com/news/woman-raped-as-young-girl-trying-to-heal-years-later/article_07363cf0-7db1-5c85-83ca-1ea02758fc9e.html

Today's case is one we covered when we first started the show. I'd always planned on re-recording it and now seemed like the perfect time since so much has happened since our initial recording. Unfortunately though, this case (which is more than 30 years old) remains unsolved. But a man named Frank Gable spent almost that entire time locked away for the murder - despite strong evidence that he didn't commit the crime. This is the unsolved murder of Michael Francke with the wrongful conviction of Frank Gable.

This episode covers the trial from 10/30 - 11/8, when the prosecution rested its case. Some highlights include the testimony of former Pierce County medical examiner, Dr. Clark, along with a use of force expert, John Ryan. Manny's EpisodeConnect with Us
