Crime To Burn
Dark Plea - The Wrongful Arson Conviction of Angela Garcia

Crime To Burn

Episode 49. Angela Garcia was a 22 year old mother of two when her house caught fire claiming the lives of her two toddler daughters. Angela soon found herself standing in a courtroom accused of arson, murder, and insurance fraud. What evidence did investigators have to prove Angela had done such a horrible deed? They had some photos and some arson investigation myths that had been debunked already by the time she was tried. Two juries couldn't be convinced of her guilt and resulted in back-to-back mistrials after the juries reported they were hopelessly deadlocked. A third jury would send her to prison for a crime she didn't commit. This is the story of Angela Garcia and how a dark plea continues to cast a shadow over her life. What did Angela Garcia trade for her freedom? This is Part 1 of Angela's story on Crime to Burn.  To get involved in assisting formerly incarcerated individuals like Angela, please consider these organizations: https://innocenceproject.org/donate-monthly/#:~:text=There%20are%20many%20ways%20to,Project%20in%20your%20estate%20plans. https://exoneratednation.org/   https://www.lifeafterjustice.org/   https://organizationofexonerees.com/   This podcast is a true crime podcast about arson and criminal fires.

Ken writes “I listen to your podcast and finally have the courage to talk about this. I'm not an outspoken person about this incident due to people thinking I'm crazy but I figure now is the time to come out about it. My Three other friends who this happened to are still scarred until this day and refuse to speak on it. So here's what happened at Cuyahoga Valley national park. I was camping with some friends. There was 4 of us going up there to camp / hike and enjoy the outdoors. This happened sometime in July or August of 2019 but I can't remember exactly what day it happened. Just as we set up camp we had the bright idea to go hiking. This was right about 7-8 pm at night when the park was closed but there was still daylight out. We started hiking near the Cuyahoga river on the towpath trail. We were hiking for a good half or so down this path and all of a sudden we had something throwing sticks that slowly progressed to rocks at us. At first we thought it was teens playing tricks on us but the longer it progressed we started to smell something pungent and our hair stood straight up. By this time the sun had gone completely dark and all we had was our phone lights to guide us. We all started running back to camp as quick as we could but whatever was tracking us was faster bigger and stronger. We eventually got winded then it all stopped. Dead silent the woods were extremely quiet and still and very eerie. Suddenly we heard the loudest growl we ever heard sort of like an angry wolf / bear. A friend of mine who had a firearm on him shined the weapon mounted light into the tree line where we were and we all caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a giant man / humanoid around 7.5 feet tall and as shown as the light shined on it it retreated backwards and never to be seen again. We then gathered our breathe and ran back to the camp as quick as we could and got into our tents. As we slept we heard multiple loud sounds outside our tent and sticks breaking. In the morning when we woke up our camp was destroyed and a pile of rocks was stacked up by the fire pit. We all agreed to never camp there again.”

Ohio grew an even deeper shade of red Tuesday. Republicans dominated nationally and in the Buckeye State. Despite the early voting long lines, the actual voter turnout in 2024 lagged behind 2020. And in blue counties like Cuyahoga and Franklin the voter turnout was six to seven percentage points lower than 2020. While in Cleveland, some precincts had turnout that was off 70% from prior elections. On Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” we will talk about the election results and what comes next as Republicans line up for Vance's seat in the U.S. Senate and the Democratic Party looks for answers.

Election Day is less than two weeks away. County boards of elections have their hands full, but adding to the workload is the high number of voter registration challenges being filed. Elections officials say the number of challenges is unprecedented. In Wood County alone, the elections board received challenges to 16,000 voter registrations. They were all filed by one person. They all must be investigated. Voting rights organizations are concerned that recently naturalized citizens will be disenfranchised from voting in Ohio either due to poll workers' confusion or because of hurdles they say Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's office has created. Naturalized citizens are citizens of the United States and have the same right to vote. But concerned groups say the state's photo ID law, and a new form put out by LaRose, may present difficulties for them should their status be challenged. This week Attorney General Dave Yost announced indictments in illegal voting cases in the state -- a total of 6 people. More than 8 million are registered to vote in Ohio. Three people in Franklin County and one each in Cuyahoga, Summit and Portage counties are accused of voting illegally as non-citizens in past elections. The indictments amount to less than 1% of the 600 cases the secretary of state very publicly referred to the attorney general. And the person indicted in Cuyahoga County has been dead for two years. We will begin Friday's Reporters Roundtable we will talk over some of the voting issues officials are contending with as we get closer to Election Day.

Why expand the National Park System? That can be a controversial question. There are many folks who would love to see additional units added, and there are just as many who say the National Park Service does not have the staff or funding to adequately maintain the existing park system. We've been exploring that question in recent weeks and months, and an argument can be made that since national parks carry the highest protection of natural resources in the country, we should expand the park system to better protect biodiversity and, if possible, help it grow. In this week's show, Lynn Riddick helps me present you with a story that explores the question of expanding the National Park System for the sake of biodiversity. If you prefer reading the story, rather than having it narrated to you, the long-form post is on the Traveler. At the end of our story about expanding the park system, Lynn returns with a short audio postcard from Big Cypress National Preserve.

Here is the list of the parks she has visited and highlights from each. Even though National Park week has past I imagine many are still planning summer park visits so I thought I'd dedicate this episode to “best of national parks” ten year old edition.   Below are the parks my daughter visited, when we visited, and her favorite memory from that visit.  1. Gateway Arch, St. Louis (July 2013): she was asleep for the views from the top, but fireworks under the arch was a highlight 2. Yosemite, California (June 2016) all the waterfalls and climbing on the rocks 3. Cuyahoga, Ohio (June 2018) biking the towpath 4. Smoky Mountains (August 2019) the “llamas” at Roaring Forks  5. Mammoth Caves (August 2019) the squirrel that fell from the tree after our cave tour 6. Saguaro, AZ (Nov 2019) horse camp but was a little scary too when her horse took off 7. Lassen Volcanic, CA (June 2020) hike to boiling lake 8. Crater Lake, OR (June 2020) our June snowball fight 9. Red Woods, CA (June 2020) hiking fern canyon and Lady Bird woods at sunset 10. Kenai Fjords, AK (August 2020) climbing the bluffs and memorable was the massive shift in weather…soaked! 11. Grand Tetons, Wy (Dec 2020) Seeing the moose fighting  12. Congaree, SC (March 2021) the junior ranger scavenger hunt on the boardwalks 13. Hawai'i Volcanoes (June 2021) climbing on lava beds 14. Haleakala, Maui (June 2021) walking in the clouds  15. Channel Islands (June 2021) playing tag in the Eucalyptus grove, seeing dolphins on the boat ride 16. Theodore Roosevelt NP (August 2021) the prairie dogs and sliding down the rocks 17. Wind Cave (August 2021) didn't tour, the buffalo 18. Badlands National Park (August 2021) climbing up and down the cable ladder on the hike  19. Rocky Mountain National Park (Sept 2021) The baby moose who kept running after us, and all the elk 20. White Sands National Park (Dec 2021) jumping/sliding down the dunes at sunset. The sand was really cold! Key Takeaways While National Parks are well-known brown signs, a brown sign is a locally designated attraction worth checking out.   The 4th grade pass is a great excuse to let you children determine your national park trip.  Since it provides free entrance for the entire car for any one with the Every Kid Every Park pass from September 1- August 31st, you can even make an entire year of it. There are other National Park pass benefits for veterans, and seniors, in addition to the yearlong America the Beautiful Pass. How do you or your kids document their adventures?  As mentioned my daughter has a tradition of taking a picture with the entrance sign, has a postcard of all of the national parks (Link on Amazon to the pack) and writes a point in time memory from her experience.  Not all of her highlights were planned.  Make sure during an experience you take time to allow things to develop.    Don't overlook the simple things.  The highlight of Yosemite for Heidi's daughter was climbing on the rocks.   Consider more than checking the box.  What are some lesser known aspects to the park?  What makes this park unique? No need to correct their memories.  They experience things through their own filter, let that memory be theirs.  If my daughter wants to remember the llamas. Let them “Walk in Clouds”  Wildlife in the winter is a very different experience.  Consider off-season to discover elements of the park that shine during different seasons. Slow down and smell the eucalyptus trees.  Memories are not always based on what you are “doing” all of your senses contribute to the overall experience.   Nature is a built in playground, but kids don't see it that way unless you nurture it.  Wild animals are still wild animals and all safety considerations are there for a reason.  Moose are not ho-hum animals.   Feel free to join the conversation in the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook Group to learn from others or share some of your favorite National Park experiences.   I want to close this episode by saying thank you and highlighting a written review.  I have not read a written review in a while and thought this was a great example of what to write.  If you have not left a written review, please do.  I have an entire tutorial on how to leave a written review on apple podcasts at ordinarysherpa.com/review This review comes from Hitix006 and it states  “Inspirational, down to earth and energizing Love the focus on adventure big and small. Heidi is sooo authentic and energizing as she shares her families adventure journey and brings great guests to her passionate community.” Thank you for those kind words, for tuning in each week and sharing these episodes.  It's what makes this work so energizing.  I can't wait to read your written review next week!
