In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author Gina Leola Woolsey about her stunning biography, Fifteen Thousand Pieces (Guernica Editions, 2023). On Wednesday, September 2nd, 1998, an international flight carrying 229 souls crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia. There were no survivors. By Friday, Sept 4th, thousands of dismembered body parts had come through Dr. John Butt's makeshift morgue in Hangar B at the Shearwater military base. The Chief Medical Examiner faced the most challenging and grisly task of his career. Five years prior to the plane crash, John had lost his prestigious job as Alberta's Chief Medical Examiner. After 14 years of marriage, John began to think of himself as gay, but remained closeted professionally. Then, after serving a handful of years as Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Examiner, the devastating crash in Nova Scotia cracked his carefully constructed façade. Fifteen Thousand Pieces explores one man's journey to accept his true nature and find his place in the world. Chapters alternate between the fast-paced story of the crash, and the history of the man in the making. It is both fast-paced and introspective; gruesome and touching. Ultimately, it is the story of how death teaches us to live.

Our card this week is Owachige Osceola, the 8 of Diamonds from Oklahoma.Recently divorced and living on her own in a new city, 27-year-old Owachige Osceola's life was in a season of transition before she was killed in the bedroom of her Norman, Oklahoma apartment in September 2013. While the medical examiner who performed her autopsy concluded her cause and manner of death were “undetermined,” a detective who remains on the case today insists a killer has been allowed to walk free for nearly a decade.Please join us in writing a letter to the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office calling for a formal independent review of the methodology used during Owachige's autopsy. Below you will find a prompt you can use and the address to send the letter to.(WHERE TO SEND)Mr. John O'ConnorOklahoma Attorney General's Office313 NE 21st StreetOklahoma City, OK 73105eric.pfeifer@ocme.ok.gov To Whom It May Concern:I'm writing in regard to the criminal investigation related to the mysterious death of Ms. Owachige Osceola in September 2013, which is being conducted by the Norman Police Department.As you may be aware, Ms. Osceola's cause and manner of death were classified by the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner as "undetermined" despite credible evidence that she was intentionally strangled to death in the bedroom of her apartment.After hearing concerns expressed by Norman Police Department investigators working this case and closely listening to details about the criminal investigation into her death as reported by Audiochuck Podcast Network's "The Deck," I'm deeply troubled that the medical examiner's office has been unwilling to reconsider its original ruling — directly hindering further investigative efforts to pursue justice for Ms. Osceola and her loved ones.I implore the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office to reexamine evidence in this case and to insist that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner consider that Ms. Osceola's death was the result of a homicidal act. I also kindly request that this office publicly publish its conclusions in the matter.Respectfully,[YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME] View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/remembering-owachige-osceolaLet us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers.

What happens when a Japanese immigrant becomes Hollywood's most powerful and controversial coroner? In this gripping conversation, Saadia sits down with historian and author Anne Soon Choi to unpack the life of Dr. Thomas Noguchi, LA's former Chief Medical Examiner and the man behind some of the most infamous autopsies in American history—Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kennedy, and Natalie Wood, to name a few. But this story isn't just about celebrity deaths. It's about race, politics, media spectacle, and how one immigrant used science and savvy to claim space in a system never built for him. We also explore society's obsession with true crime, the moral questions it raises, and what happens when immigrants are erased from even the stories they shaped. If you're into true crime, history, or immigrant narratives or want to know why Frank Sinatra once wrote a scathing letter to defend a celebrity's corpse—this one's for you.

I need 20 pierogis and 50 ccs of Iron City beer to the ER STAT!Welcome to the Pitt! A phrase probably no one wants to hear outside of this context. Join us as we strap to the gurney and wheel into arguably one of the most chaotic shows of all time. From the mind of ER and JAG alum R. Scott Gemmill, The Pitt takes us to a mid city hospital run by ER star Noah Wale, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa and so many more terrific actors. What drives the fervor of the Pitt fandom seems to be the realistic stakes and nature of the ER, combined with the linear time of the entire season taking place on one shift. So who better to talk to than Friend of the Pod Dr. Raul Flores as our official Chief Medical Examiner. Pull up a chair, we have a very busy day in Pittsburgh.
Dr. Deirdre Amaro, the Chief Medical Examiner of the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner (OME), believes in the strong ties between solving the mysteries of how people die and how this critical work helps to protect the living. She has a unique role in that she actively does the post-mortem exam, looks at things under a microscope, and analyzes toxicology results while also stepping into her executive role and managing recruiting, hiring, training, and day-to-day operations. She is an amazing example of doing this AND being that -- her job requires completely different skill sets, and she is doing them all. She is living into the "Yes, And" philosophy! Dr. Deirdre oversees the centralized, state-wide medical examiner system for the entire state of Utah. Her and her team investigate all sudden, unexpected, violent, suspicious, or unattended deaths that happen in the state. This means they determine:Cause of death (the injury, illness, or disease that made the person die) and Manner of death (the general category of death, including natural, accident, homicide, suicide, or undetermined)Dr. Deirdre Amaro is a quadruple-certified physician in:anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, forensic pathology, and neuropathology Before this role, she worked as a forensic pathologist since 2016 in multiple states and a variety of medical examiner systems. This is a fascinating interview with an incredibly dedicated, smart woman who helps advocate for both the dead and the living through her work.

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder. In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered. The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5. The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again. The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974. Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings. A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960. Muldavin was 78 years old when he died. The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

Twenty-three years later, over a thousand families are still waiting for news of loved ones lost in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11. Correspondent Scott Pelley looks at how efforts to search for and identify their remains have never stopped, driven by the promise made by the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Pelley visits their laboratory, which is using new advancements in DNA research and breakthrough techniques to provide answers for families holding on to hope. This is a double-length segment. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on a phenomenon that has long captured Hollywood: the outsized presence of Australians earning top billings and awards on the American silver screen – in front of and behind the camera. Wertheim interviews Aussie actress Sarah Snook and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann about the country's renowned training grounds for the dramatic arts, their pathways to international theater, film and television and the Australian mindset on stardom. Correspondent Lesley Stahl travels to the remote, Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, a tiny country that has fiercely protected its unique culture, declaring that within its borders, Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product. But today, the country is facing a crisis — 9% of its population has left Bhutan for higher-paying jobs abroad, so the government has launched a high-stakes plan to help the economy and lure young Bhutanese back by developing an entirely new city from scratch — what the King is calling a "mindfulness" city. This is a double-length segment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder. In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered. The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5. The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again. The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974. Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings. A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960. Muldavin was 78 years old when he died. The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings. A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960. Muldavin was 78 years old when he died. The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

The trial of Karen Read, accused of the second-degree murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, continued today with pivotal testimonies from key figures in the investigation. The courtroom saw dramatic moments as defense attorney Alan Jackson scrutinized the integrity of the investigative process led by Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor and State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully. Testimony resumed with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor taking the stand. Proctor faced questioning about a group chat with eight high school friends, where he shared details of the investigation, including the victim's name. Proctor admitted that 16 hours into the investigation, he had concluded that Read was responsible for O'Keefe's death, despite not having visited the crime scene or interviewed key witnesses. Defense attorney Alan Jackson highlighted this as evidence of Proctor's bias and lack of thoroughness. **Defense Digs into ‘Unprofessional' Texts** Proctor was questioned about derogatory texts he sent about Karen Read, referring to her in dehumanizing terms. Jackson pointed out that these messages showed a preconceived notion of Read's guilt, which Proctor denied, insisting that the investigation was guided by evidence. **Gaps in State Police Investigation** Jackson delved into investigative lapses, such as not reviewing all phone data or canvassing relevant areas for surveillance footage. Proctor acknowledged some gaps but defended his methods, stating they did not affect the investigation's integrity. The defense pointed out Proctor's early focus on Read, questioning whether other suspects were properly considered. **Pressure on Medical Examiner** Defense attorney Alan Jackson turned his questions to a report by the Chief Medical Examiner's office in April 2022 that O'Keefe's manner of death could not be determined. Proctor texted another state trooper about the medical examiner's determination: “Of course it's undetermined. She's a whack job.” Jackson pressed Proctor about attempting to get the medical examiner to rule O'Keefe's death as a homicide, which Proctor denied. **Questions About Trooper Proctor's Relationship with the Albert Family** The defense focused on potential conflicts of interest, questioning Proctor about his sister's friendship with witness Julie Albert and their communication during the investigation. Jackson presented text messages indicating a close relationship and alleged that Proctor used his sister as an intermediary. Proctor denied any conflict of interest, asserting that his professional conduct remained intact. Jackson highlighted gaps in the investigation and questioned Proctor's impartiality and thoroughness. The defense attorney suggested that Proctor had a preconceived narrative and did not thoroughly investigate other potential suspects. Proctor reiterated that the investigation was conducted with the utmost integrity and that evidence pointed solely to Read. **Detective Lt. Brian Tully Takes the Stand** State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully, the unit commander for the Norfolk County state police detective unit, provided crucial testimony. Tully recounted receiving a call at 7 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022, from Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik regarding Officer John O'Keefe's critical condition. Recognizing the gravity due to O'Keefe's status as an active Boston police officer, Tully coordinated with then-Canton Police Chief Kenneth Berkowitz and Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey. They collectively decided that state police would lead the investigation to avoid any conflicts of interest, with Canton police offering support and resources. Prosecutor Adam Lally questioned Tully about inappropriate text messages sent by Trooper Proctor, expressing displeasure and admonishing Proctor for his conduct. The jury was shown photos of evidence collected, including O'Keefe's shoe and pieces of plastic found at the scene. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In episode one of our Community-based Solutions for Substance Use Challenges season, Just Science sits down with Dr. Samantha Tolliver, Chief Toxicologist for the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, or DC OCME, to discuss how their agency uses their Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA's) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program, or COSSUP, funding to improve their drug testing and analysis processes. For forensic toxicologists, it is important to be able to quickly and accurately identify which substances have contributed to an accidental overdose, so that they can monitor emerging drug trends in the area. The DC OCME's COSSUP funding has allowed their office to use reference labs to reduce their casework and focus on adopting new methods for drug testing and analysis. Listen along as Dr. Tolliver discusses challenges faced by forensic toxicologist in keeping up with drug trends, the benefits of adopting technology such as high-resolution mass spectrometry, and how improving drug testing methods can contribute to broader community overdose prevention efforts. This Just Science season is supported, in part, by RTI Award No. 15PNIJ-21-GK-02192-MUMU, awarded by the National Institute of Justice, and by RTI Award No. 15PBJA-23-GK-02250-COAP, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.

Dr. Michael Baden is the former Chief Medical Examiner of New York City. He has been a medical examiner for forty-five years and has performed more than 20,000 autopsies. He was the host of the HBO “Autopsy” series for thirteen years and is the author of several books including his most recent “American Autopsy: One Medical Examiner's Decades-Long Fight for Racial Justice in a Broken Legal System”. Dr. Baden reflects on his vocation and decades of work as a medical examiner, and how he has tried to use science and medicine to find the truth and advance the cause of justice. He also shares insights about the Michael Brown, George Floyd, and other tragic examples of police killings and murders. And Dr. Baden explains what it was like to be at the center of the media maelstrom that was the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. Chauncey DeVega convenes The Chauncey DeVega Show Secular Church Family and engages in some critical self-reflection as he shares what he has been up to these last few very long weeks, being tired from being an only child and member of the striving working class, and how Trump Trial Time (TTT) is draining all of us who are paying attention. And Chauncey DeVega continues to warn about how Donald Trump is a master propagandist who is using horror politics and sadism to further radicalize his cult members during his hush-money and other criminal trials and the 2024 presidential election. Chauncey also explains how, like other fascists, Donald Trump is expert at using scatological politics and that his diehard MAGA people are now wearing diapers – yes, real diapers – to the Dear and Great Leader's cult meeting-rallies as a way of demonstrating their loyalty to him and the movement.

Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, displayed good governance by expressing his intention to approve legislation, which had garnered unanimous support in the state legislature, aiming to disclose the grand jury documents from a child sex offender investigation dating back to 2006. This poignant issue has made headlines again and the governor believes unveiling these documents can shed light into the complexities of the case that resulted in only marginal charges back in 2006 against the infamous Epstein. Epstein's legal saga is a complex weave of many unsettling elements. He pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges which included solicitation of felony prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Epstein's sentence was a mere 18-month stint in prison, which glaringly incorporated a provision for daily work release. DeSantis, through social media posts, highlighted the urgency to make public all papers pertaining to Epstein's wrongdoings, emphasizing that while the federal counterparts continue dragging their feet on this issue, it was refreshing to see the state legislature proactively taking steps towards transparency. He reassured his commitment to solidifying this action by promising to sign the bill into law. Furthermore, Governor DeSantis raised a concerning question on why the Biden administration hasn't been forthcoming with releasing more detailed Epstein files. He wanted to understand what was preventing the national government from presenting a complete picture of this convoluted case that has far-reaching implications for many protected parties. Epstein's tale had an abrupt ending in August 2019 when he met his demise in a Manhattan prison cell. He was confined there, waiting for the beginning of a trial on federal sex trafficking charges, making his unexpected death even more shocking and contributing further intricacy. Recent developments have come from an unlikely source: Epstein's brother, Mark. Earlier this month, Mark released photographs of Epstein's body after his prison cell death. The images, according to Mark, stoke doubts about the actual circumstances that precipitated his brother's demise. Dr. Barbara Sampson serves as New York City's Chief Medical Examiner and she made a controversial proclamation in August 2019 that the cause behind Epstein's death was suicide by hanging. This declaration faced opposition from certain quarters who considered the conclusion too simplistic, especially considering Epstein's high-profile case. There was dissenting voice from a forensic pathologist who was hired by the Epstein family. The pathologist, doubting Sampson's conclusion of suicide, cited evidence that could possibly suggest a case of homicide, thereby contradicting the official statement. Sampson, however, stood her ground, publicly dismissing the opposing claims, and resolutely adhered to her original findings. She stated clearly that she remained staunchly behind the suicide by hanging conclusion which she believed was buttressed by sound professional diligence. Mark Epstein, who has become a prominent figure due to his untiring pursuit of the truth surrounding his brother's death, shared that at the outset, he had no reason to question Sampson's version of events. In his words, he said, 'I had no reason to doubt it,' explaining that his brother's solitary status convinced him to initially accept the cause of death. He added, citing the absence of immediate family ties like children and their already departed parents for his brother, that he had understood if Epstein had decided to make such an extreme choice, relieving Mark of any potential burdens. What shook his belief though, were subsequent interactions with medical examiners in New York City. During their conversations, they mentioned to Mark that they were hesitant to conclusively mark the case as a suicide because the evidence suggested otherwise - It was too reminiscent of a homicide scenario. This revelation initiated a whole new line of questioning for Mark. If it wasn't suicide, then it was murder, and this potential twist introduced the all-important questions of who could be the perpetrator and the exact method of execution used. Digging deeper into the controversial case, Mark Epstein, rather alarmingly, presented autopsy images of his brother that showed injuries on his neck. The distressing pictures hinted at the use of a thin instrument, possibly a wire or a thin rope, used for asphyxiation. In sum, Governor DeSantis' decision to bring the grand jury documents to public light is in line with a growing call for transparency. As new disclosures continue to fuel the controversy surrounding Epstein's case, it will certainly be interesting to see what new revelations these documents may hold.

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder. In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered. The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5. The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again. The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974. Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings. A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960. Muldavin was 78 years old when he died. The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

Kouri Richins' book on how to deal with grief isn't the only thing she's written. There's a six-page handwritten letter that's sparking debate, "the walk the dog letter." Prosecutors say that in the letter, Richins is teaching people how to lie about what happened the night her husband died. Her defense team says the letter was privileged information and wants the prosecutors to be sanctioned. It's called the "walk the dog letter," since that phrase is written in big letters on the top. In it, Richins makes the claim that her husband Eric was addicted to drugs, that he would make frequent trips to Mexico to get pills, and that his death was an accidental overdose. The letter was written to Richins' mother, and it reportedly tells her to instruct Richins' brother to make the connection to Mexico and drugs when he talks about the case. The question the court has to answer is, does a defendant attempting to help coach someone on what they should say on the witness stand, rise to the level of witness tampering? Prosecutors say it does rise to the level of witness tampering because there is no connection between Kouri Richins' brother and drugs from Mexico. The prosecution believes, again, that Richins is instructing people to lie. That is why the prosecution is asking the judge to disallow contact between Richins and her mother.

A manhunt is underway for the husband of a daycare owner charged in the death of a child in her care. New York police responded to Divino Niño Daycare in the Bronx and found three children unconscious. Nicholas Dominici, just a year old, died from a fentanyl overdose. Two other children in the home-run daycare were revived after being administered Narcan. A fourth child, picked up by a parent two hours before a chilling 911 call made by the owner, was taken to the hospital independently after the parent noticed the child was lethargic. That child also survived. Police say they found a kilogram of fentanyl in a hallway closet at the daycare, stacked with the children's play mats. They also found three kilo presses, used to package drugs. The 36-year-old owner of the daycare, and her tenant, her husband's 41-year-old cousin Carlisto Acevedo Brito, are charged with 11 counts, including murder, manslaughter, and assault.
