Police Blotter - Homicide By Hurricane

In May of 2002, a St. Louis reporter received a letter with a map marked with an X and a chilling message: "To prove I'm real, here's directions to number seventeen." The map leads police to a body. And one digital mistake exposed a killer's darkest secrets. Between 2000 and 2002, at least twelve women vanished from the streets of St. Louis, their deaths barely noticed by a society that had already dismissed them. What investigators found in a suburban basement would out one of the most disturbing serial killers in American history.Sources:https://www.stltoday.com/ (Main site - archival articles from 2002)https://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/11/us/internet-used-to-find-man-who-is-charged-in-2-of-10-killings.htmlhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jun-17-na-serial17-story.htmlhttps://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=132005&page=1 (Serial Killer's Home Movies)https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-found-serial-killer-lived-home-watching-tv/story?id=24467447https://www.bnd.com/news/local/crime/article311186715.htmlhttps://fox2now.com/news/true-crime/serial-killer-maury-travis-the-street-walker-strangler/https://www.semissourian.com/story/77256.htmlForensic Files: "X Marks the Spot" (Season 7, Episode 35) - Available on streaming platformsCold Case Files: "A Map to Murder" (Season 2, Episode 19) - Originally aired on A&EEvil, I: "Hell's Basement" episodeUnknown Serial Killers of America (2025)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maury_Travishttps://web.archive.org/web/20120509185024/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/criminal_mind/forensics/vernon_geberth/12.htmlhttps://www.fbi.gov/https://isp.illinois.gov/https://www.slmpd.org/https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/forensics/digital-evidencehttps://dnadoeproject.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.Keep In Touch:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/reveriecrimepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reverietruecrimeContact: ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.com Intro & Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official

A respected law professor. A bitter custody battle. And a murder that took more than a decade to fully unravel.When Dan Markel was gunned down in his Tallahassee driveway in 2014, investigators uncovered a murder-for-hire plot tied to his ex-wife's family, the Adelsons. Now, after years of wiretaps, arrests, and courtroom chaos, the matriarch herself, Donna Adelson, has finally faced justice.Convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, Donna was sentenced to life in prison at 75 years old for orchestrating the hit that ended Dan's life. But even at sentencing, she swore she was innocent.Was she the mastermind behind one of Florida's most infamous family murder plots or just another Adelson in denial?*********************Past Cases Mentioned in this Episode:Love, Lies, and Divorce | A Tallahassee Murder-for-Hire That's Stranger Than Fiction | The Murder of Dan Markelhttps://wp.me/pdbuVw-WRQ**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

The Los Angeles Police Department just confirmed that their “previous statement stands” in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — meaning, officially, this case is not being treated as a homicide. Celeste's body was found in September, decomposing in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist David Anthony Burke, known as d4vd. But according to the LAPD, there's “no evidence of criminal culpability beyond concealment of a body.” That's a misdemeanor under California law. In this in-depth breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks what that stunning statement really means — and why it might signal a system ready to let this case quietly fade away. Private investigator Steve Fischer, who's working the case in Los Angeles, says there's disturbing physical evidence from Burke's former residence — and hints that there may have been “plans to get rid of her” before the Tesla was discovered. But with no cause of death yet determined by the L.A. County Medical Examiner, prosecutors' hands are tied. Was Celeste the victim of a crime — or of institutional indifference? Why is her case the only one from September 8th still missing a cause of death? And how does a child end up dead in a celebrity's car with no one charged and no one talking? We break down every angle — the silence, the legal loopholes, the unanswered forensic questions, and what this all says about justice when a famous name is attached. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #D4vd #CelesteRivasHernandez #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrime #LosAngeles #LAPD #CrimeInvestigation #CelebrityCase #TrueCrimeToday #Podcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In his first interview since retiring from in ring competition, Homicide returns to Counted Out for the 3rd time to talk about his Health, Retirement Match, NWA, Mike Santana And Legendary moments from his amazing Career.

Joe Untamed unleashes unfiltered truth on the battles defining our republic. This is no tame talk show; it's a war cry for the forgotten, a floodlight on corruption's darkest corners, and a merciless roast of the elite's assault on freedom. From thunderous Veterans Day salutes to deep-state exposés and savage takedowns of the left's emotional chaos, Joe Oltmann Untamed equips you with facts, fury, and faith to fight back. Tune in as we honor heroes, dismantle lies, and reclaim our nation—one explosive, righteous segment at a time. God bless our veterans; God bless the untamed spirit of America!On this sacred November 11, 2025, Joe Oltmann Untamed erupts in a roaring tribute to our invincible warriors—the unbreakable backbone of the world's greatest republic. Launch with a heart-pounding montage of White House and DHS videos honoring those who charged Normandy's blood-soaked beaches and held the line in Afghanistan's unforgiving peaks, declaring: Your sacrifice isn't history; it's the eternal flame of liberty we swear to defend. But as parades fade, the show dives into raw outrage: Why do J6 Pipe Bomber leads go cold while FBI incompetence hides behind silence? With explosive Twitter clashes from Julie Kelly and insider rifts fracturing alliances, we expose the cover-ups stalling justice—no arrests since the Blaze Report. This isn't remembrance; it's reckoning—demanding accountability for the patriots betrayed while the swamp protects its own.Enter the arena with Michael F. Vecchione, the legendary ex-Brooklyn Chief of Homicide & Rackets—the prosecutor who toppled corrupt judges, dismantled mob empires, and secured convictions against Assemblyman Clarence Norman and Justices Victor Barron and Gerald Garson. With decades of battling organized crime and political rot, Vecchione unpacks NYC's activist-fueled DA takeover under Mayor Mamdani, Soros-backed NGOs laundering influence through "advocacy," and the DOJ's kid-glove treatment of Comey and Letitia James—mirroring the rackets he once shredded. Then, flip to unapologetic hilarity in the "Liberals and Low IQ" block: Skewering feelz-over-facts snowflakes with the viral "Liberal Starter Pack" cartoon—kale smoothies, participation trophies, and rainbow totes—while replaying UC Berkeley's Antifa warzone meltdown at a Turning Point event, from brawling arrests to barricade chaos. Cap it with absurd clips: A land-owning liberal spitting in faces, ethnic food bans for Trump voters, Antifa's pepper-spray picnics, and BBC's "trans milk" lunacy. Joe Oltmann Untamed doesn't whisper; it roars—laugh, rage, and rise with us.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!*This episode of Hitched to Homicide discusses the subject of suicide, self-harm, and domestic/intimate partner violence. Viewer and listener discretion is advised.In November 2020, 26-year-old Houston influencer Alexis Sharkey was found nude along a roadside. At first, her death stunned social media—no visible injuries, no clear suspect, and a picture-perfect life on Instagram. But behind the filters was a marriage in trouble. In this episode, we break down the full timeline of Alexis's disappearance, the autopsy revealing strangulation, how friends warned she was afraid, and why investigators ultimately named her husband, Thomas “Tom” Sharkey, as the killer.We'll walk through how Houston police built the case, what they learned about alleged domestic violence, why it took months to secure a warrant, and how U.S. Marshals finally closed in—only for Tom to die by suicide before arrest.

This week on The Middle of Culture, we close out our dive into Transformers with Transformers One, last year's animated prequel that tells the origin story of Optimus and Megatron. We rave about how shockingly good it is—beautiful animation, heartfelt storytelling, and voice performances that actually make you care about robots punching each other. Along the way, we talk about Sanderson's declining prose, the “YA-ification” of modern fiction, the decline of mass-market paperbacks, and why we'll always have a soft spot for dumb robot movies done well.Episode NotesOpening BanterPeter returns from travel (Boise and Napa), happy to be home.Eden vents about a rough week and hostile engineers during digital accessibility training, complete with an on-campus shooting alert mid-meeting.Peter describes an incredible dinner at Bistro Jeanty in Napa (truffle deviled eggs, beef bourguignon, and chocolate croissant bread pudding).Books & ReadingPeter finishes Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes (yes, the “Piña Colada Song” guy)—a darkly funny and satisfying story about the McMaster's School of Homicide.Reads Artificial Condition, the second Murderbot novella, and starts Write Your Novel from the Middle.Discussion on how story structure midpoints define theme and cohesion.Critique of Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth: great worldbuilding, but noticeably weaker prose since losing his longtime editor.Eden speculates that the issue might extend to the whole fantasy industry—less editing, more aesthetic consumerism, and the death of the mass-market paperback.Broader talk on the “dumbing down” of fiction and the rise of YA and “New Adult” markets catering to comfort rather than challenge.Music & Games CornerPeter dives into rediscovering Psychotic Waltz, Psychonaut, and Oramet—bands that balance progressive creativity with restraint.New release highlight: PowerWash Simulator 2.Eden tests two disappointing gacha games (Duet Night Abyss and Resonance Solstice) and finally uninstalls all HoyoVerse titles.Back to Final Fantasy XIV, excited about the new patch allowing full cross-class glamours.Main Feature – Transformers One (2024)Both agree: it's the best Transformers movie ever made—heartfelt, gorgeously animated, and genuinely emotional.Plot rundown: Orion Pax (Optimus) and D16 (Megatron) rise from the oppressed underclass of “Cogless” robots, uncover Sentinel Prime's corruption, and witness the birth of Autobot vs. Decepticon ideology.Core theme: friendship, betrayal, and revolution—the tragedy of two friends who believe in justice but choose different paths.Voice acting highlights:Brian Tyree Henry's nuanced Megatron is phenomenal.John Hamm nails the duplicitous Sentinel Prime.Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth have real chemistry, even if Hemsworth is the weakest link.Laurence Fishburne brings gravitas as Alpha Trion.Keegan-Michael Key's Bumblebee is purposefully annoying but fits the tone.Praise for the movie's subtle callbacks to the 1986 film (“You don't have the touch or the power”), strong emotional beats, and sense of earned tragedy.Both lament how poorly it performed at the box office—“we are part of the problem”—and hope it gets a sequel.Brief detour comparing the animated film's depth to the shallow chaos of the Michael Bay series.Closing ThoughtsTransformers One feels like the first time the franchise truly understood its own heart.Recommendation: watch it—it's smart, emotional, and fun as hell.

When Hollywood actress Dominique Dunne landed her breakout role in Poltergeist, her future looked unstoppable ... until love turned deadly.

In January of 2011, 27-year-old first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg came home early from work and was found dead hours later on her kitchen floor by her fiance. She had twenty stab wounds covering her body, ten of them to the back of her neck and head, and a ten-inch knife buried deep into her heart. The Medical Examiner called it suicide. Ellen's parents have spent fourteen years and over $800,000 proving that's impossible. Renowned forensic experts find evidence of wounds inflicted after death, a crime scene was cleaned before investigators could properly examine it, and a fiancé who called his attorney uncle before calling 911. Ellen was planning her wedding, loved her students, and didn't like the sight of blood. Can someone really stab themselves ten times in the back of the head? And if Ellen didn't kill herself, why won't Philadelphia call it murder?Sources:Hulu Documentary: "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?"https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/us/ellen-greenberg-death-philadelphia-cechttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/03/us/ellen-greenberg-philadelphia-case-update-cechttps://www.cnn.com/interactive/2024/01/us/ellen-greenberg-mystery-dghttps://www.foxnews.com/us/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-woman-found-dead-20-stab-wounds-ruled-suicidehttps://www.foxnews.com/us/pennsylvania-teacher-found-stabbed-20-times-ruled-suicide-parents-fight-justicehttps://www.inquirer.com/news/ellen-greenberg-suicide-ruling-philadelphia-parents-lawsuit-20250210.htmlhttps://www.inquirer.com/news/ellen-greenberg-death-suicide-philadelphia-lawsuit-20241217.htmlhttps://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/ellen-greenberg-case-philadelphia-suicide-rulinghttps://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/ellen-greenberg-death-ruled-suicide-despite-20-stab-woundshttps://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-supreme-courthttps://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-supreme-court-to-hear-casehttps://people.com/ellen-greenberg-death-investigation-timelineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.Keep In Touch:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/reveriecrimepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrimepodcast.tumblr.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reverietruecrimeContact: ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.com

A frantic 911 call, a baby in the backseat, and a story that didn't add up.When police in Ormond Beach, Florida arrived, 18-month-old Sebastian Gardner was already gone. His small body showed signs that he'd been left in a hot truck for hours while his father, Scott Gardner, sat drinking inside a bar. What followed was a case that shocked even seasoned officers, not just because of what happened, but because of what Scott did next.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

On this week's Tall Boy Radio, hosts Gaz and Beans are honoured to welcome a titan of criminal investigation, Retired Lieutenant Commander Vernon Geberth, to delve deep into one of the most sprawling, intricate, and utterly frustrating cases he ever tackled. This is the unbelievable true story of "Operation Octopus," a fascinating chapter pulled directly from the pages of his essential book, The Godfather of Homicide.Get ready for a comprehensive breakdown of a case that began innocently enough but quickly metastasized into a terrifying, multi-layered criminal enterprise. We start at the supposed centre: a deadly, planned store robbery murder plot. Gaz and Beans press Vernon on how the immediate aftermath of that violent scene hinted at something much bigger, prompting his team to pull at a thread that quickly unravelled the tapestry of organised crime.Vernon shares the fascinating details of how that single planned robbery and murder exposed a massive operation involving the upper echelons of the Mafia. This wasn't just low-level thugs; this was a sophisticated ring dealing in multiple high-stakes crimes. Central to the investigation was a staggering amount of counterfeit money flooding the region—a clue that immediately brought the formidable resources of the Secret Service into the fray. Geberth details the critical, often tense, partnership with the federal agents tasked with tracing the origins and distribution of the funny money.Beyond the paper trail, the Octopus had its tentacles deep in drug trafficking. We explore the dangerous world of undercover operations Vernon's team had to execute, putting agents in genuine, life-threatening peril to infiltrate both the counterfeiting and narcotics distribution networks. Geberth gives listeners a rare look behind the scenes, discussing the immense logistical challenges of running parallel stings and the meticulous planning required to keep sources alive.But as with any great true-crime saga, the enemy wasn't just the Mob. Vernon pulls no punches when recounting the persistent, crippling interference from above. He details the specific challenges posed by incompetent supervisors and the internal bureaucracy that repeatedly threatened to pull the plug on the investigation. Hear the moments where the entire case hung by a thread, jeopardised not by a criminal act, but by incompetence from the guy that you report into. Gaz and Beans explore the mental toll this internal struggle took on the detectives trying to bring a major criminal operation down while simultaneously battling their own command structure.Operation Octopus is a gripping testament to relentless detective work, bureaucratic warfare, and the unwavering dedication required to dismantle a criminal empire. It's a classic Geberth case that proves the reality of homicide investigation is often far stranger, more frustrating, and more exhilarating than any fiction.

When a scuba diver unzipped a duffel bag at the bottom of a quiet Ohio quarry, he expected lost gear,  not what spilled out next. Inside were towels, rocks… and the body of a newborn baby boy. The community called him Baby Boy Hope, vowing to find the monster who had done it.But the truth, when it finally came six years later, stunned everyone. The killer wasn't a stranger ... it was a girl they once cheered for at Friday night games. A girl who'd been hiding a secret so heavy, it eventually sank her entire life to the bottom of that quarry.Listen to the case of Jessica Coleman, Thomas Truelson Jr., and Baby Boy Hope.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

Black women are six times more likely to be murdered by intimate partners than white women. Let that sink in.Dr. Miltonette Craig pulls back the curtain on this hidden crisis in our powerful conversation about intimate partner violence and media representation. As an assistant professor at Sam Houston State University and research coordinator for the Crime Victims Institute, Dr. Craig brings both academic rigor and genuine compassion to this critical discussion.The statistics are staggering – approximately 43% of Black women report experiencing intimate partner violence compared to 30% of white women. But statistics only tell part of the story. Dr. Craig expertly unpacks the complex sociocultural factors creating this disparity: economic barriers that trap women in abusive relationships, the "loyalty trap" where Black women hesitate to report abuse for fear of contributing to mass incarceration, and deep-seated mistrust of law enforcement that discourages seeking help.Perhaps most troubling is how media coverage perpetuates these problems. Through her groundbreaking research, Dr. Craig reveals how news stories about Black female victims often lack context, resources, and the critical analysis needed to understand this epidemic. We discuss a particularly disturbing case where two Black women were murdered by their husbands during conjugal visits at the same prison facility within months of each other – yet media coverage remained superficial and disconnected from the larger pattern of violence.This episode isn't just about identifying problems – Dr. Craig offers concrete solutions for journalists, newsrooms, and media consumers. From including crisis resources in every domestic violence story to diversifying newsroom staff, these actionable steps could literally save lives.Whether you work in media, advocacy, or simply care about creating a more just society, this conversation will transform how you understand intimate partner violence and the power of representation. Listen now, and join us in demanding better for Black women and all survivors of domestic violence.

When 43-year-old Kristil Krug was found beaten and stabbed in her Colorado garage, police thought her past had caught up with her. For months, she'd been stalked and terrorized by who she thought was her ex-boyfriend—sending threats, photos, and messages that tracked her every move. Her estranged husband, Daniel Krug, was "there to protect her."But as police dug deeper, they realized that what began as a stalking case spiraled into one of the most chilling, calculated domestic murders Colorado has ever seen.************************************************************************************************Podcast Promo: Darkcast Network*************************************************************************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about?

In a quiet Virginia suburb, what looked like a perfect family hid something unthinkable. When police walked into the Banfield home in Herndon, they found 37-year-old nurse Christine Banfield stabbed to death and 39-year-old Joseph Ryan shot in the head. Her husband, former IRS agent Brendan Banfield, claimed it was self-defense — that Ryan had broken in and attacked his wife. But investigators soon discovered the scene was staged. Christine had never met Joseph Ryan. In reality, he had been lured to the house through a fetish site called FetLife, believing he was meeting Christine for a consensual role-play encounter. The account that contacted him used her photo and name — but wasn't her. It was allegedly created by her husband. Living in that same home was their Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, who was having an affair with Brendan. She later admitted to helping orchestrate the meeting — and described the entire deadly plan as “part of the game.” Prosecutors say the “game” was a plot to kill Christine and stage it as a home invasion gone wrong. Both Christine and Joseph Ryan ended up dead. Juliana has since pled guilty to manslaughter and agreed to testify against Brendan Banfield, who now faces aggravated murder charges in Fairfax County. His trial, most recently delayed, is set for January 13, 2026. In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski exposes the chilling story behind the façade of suburban normalcy — how power, fantasy, and control converged into one of Virginia's most disturbing murder cases. This isn't a story about sex. It's a story about manipulation, obsession, and the fatal delusion of control. Because when you start to play God, eventually, someone bleeds for it. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BanfieldCase #JulianaMagalhaes #ChristineBanfield #BrendanBanfield #JosephRyan #VirginiaCrime #TonyBrueski #CrimePodcast #FetishMurder #HerndonCrime #MurderCase #TrueCrimeStories Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In January of 2011, 27-year-old first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg came home early from work and was found dead hours later on her kitchen floor by her fiance. She had twenty stab wounds covering her body, ten of them to the back of her neck and head, and a ten-inch knife buried deep into her heart. The Medical Examiner called it suicide. Ellen's parents have spent fourteen years and over $800,000 proving that's impossible. Renowned forensic experts find evidence of wounds inflicted after death, a crime scene was cleaned before investigators could properly examine it, and a fiancé who called his attorney uncle before calling 911. Ellen was planning her wedding, loved her students, and didn't like the sight of blood. Can someone really stab themselves ten times in the back of the head? And if Ellen didn't kill herself, why won't Philadelphia call it murder?Sources:Hulu Documentary: "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?"https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/us/ellen-greenberg-death-philadelphia-cechttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/03/us/ellen-greenberg-philadelphia-case-update-cechttps://www.cnn.com/interactive/2024/01/us/ellen-greenberg-mystery-dghttps://www.foxnews.com/us/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-woman-found-dead-20-stab-wounds-ruled-suicidehttps://www.foxnews.com/us/pennsylvania-teacher-found-stabbed-20-times-ruled-suicide-parents-fight-justicehttps://www.inquirer.com/news/ellen-greenberg-suicide-ruling-philadelphia-parents-lawsuit-20250210.htmlhttps://www.inquirer.com/news/ellen-greenberg-death-suicide-philadelphia-lawsuit-20241217.htmlhttps://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/ellen-greenberg-case-philadelphia-suicide-rulinghttps://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/ellen-greenberg-death-ruled-suicide-despite-20-stab-woundshttps://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-supreme-courthttps://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/ellen-greenberg-case-pennsylvania-supreme-court-to-hear-casehttps://people.com/ellen-greenberg-death-investigation-timelineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.

On a winter night in 1981, a teenager stepped out of his Essex Junction home and never returned. His disappearance unsettled the quiet Vermont town, leaving his family searching for answers that never came.Years later, a hunter in the woods made a discovery that would finally explain what happened to the missing teen, but not why. Whispers of a stolen check, shifting stories, and a courtroom battle followed, yet the truth is still tangled even to this day. This is the story of a teenager whose life ended far too soon, a family's years-long fight for justice, and a case that still raises questions about trust, betrayal, and the limits of the system meant to deliver answers.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/craigcooleyjackmanDark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.Follow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case visit darkdowneast.com/submit-case Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Continuing our examination of the fifth commandment, we look at various ways in which one may sin against this commandment as it relates to homicide. The Catechism addresses three categories of homicide: direct and intentional killing, indirectly killing, and unintentionally killing. Fr. Mike explores this grave topic with resonating examples and explains the varying degrees of moral culpability. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2268-2269. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
