Lauren Smith-Fields was an African-American woman from Bridgeport, Connecticut. She was caring, loving and brought light to every room she walked into. On the morning of Sunday, December 12, 2021, she was allegedly found unresponsive in bed by her Bumble date, Matthew LaFountain. Although Matthew was the last person to see Lauren alive, he was never questioned or made suspect. The crime scene was never investigated, no evidence was collected, police hung up on Laruens family multiple times while asking questions, and Laurens family was never notified of Laurens death until the day after by Laurens landlord. It's clear that something is trying to be covered up or there's secrets the police know but never tell. So what actually happened to Lauren Smith-Fields?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Phelps speaks with Lauren Fields' mother, Shantell, about the surprising cause and manner of death in Lauren's case. He also digs into the Brenda Rawls death - another woman found dead after a date - the very same night, just down the road from where Lauren died - whose family was also never informed of her death by the police.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happened inside Lauren's apartment on the night she died, and the next day, will have your jaw on the floor, wondering what is going on in the world of law enforcement investigation in some of the country's largest cities. In the first of this two-part Crossing the Line, Phelps digs in deep and talks to Lauren's family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lauren Smith-Fields was found dead after a date with an older man she met on Bumble. Police deemed him a "good guy who didn't need to be investigated." Lauren's family was not notified of her death, a proper investigation was started much too late and they have been fighting for justice since Lauren's death in December of 2021 with very little media coverage.

Lauren's family had not heard from her and drove to her apartment and were told about her death by the landlord. The authorities failed to notify the family and ruled the case as an accident.

La familia de Lauren no sabia nada de ella y condujeron hasta su apartamento y el propietario les informó sobre su muerte.

Sin embargo, la familia cree que hay más en este caso, especialmente después de cómo manejaron el caso mal desde el principio.

Yo Yo Yo!!! Episode 84 is here!! Sorry not sorry for the long intro and catching up, but it feels like we haven't talked with y'all for a bit about life- so we took this opportunity to do so! Morgan starts this episode off with one of the most bizarre possessions and exorcisms we have ever heard and the goriest crime that England had ever seen, the case of Michael Taylor. We get some weird vibes from the Prayer group leader and are pretty sure there is way more to this case than what we know! But don't worry, even through the gross and weirdness, we made sure to give you some good laughs (well at least we got some good giggles in)! Taylar then covers the Mysterious Death of Lauren Smith-Fields! This is still an active case (Taylar's first ever) and could change at any moment, therefore there will likely be updates coming in the future! This case is saddening and honestly disgusting because of how it was handled! We send our love to Lauren's family and we will stand with them to bring Lauren the Justice she Deserves! Lastly, Tay wraps up this episode with updates from previous cases that we have covered including: Madeline Maddie McCann, Delphi Murders, Holly Bobo, Lauren Taylor Agee, and Brice Laspisa!

Clear your schedule because the ladies are bringing you a super long episode this week! Michelle and Sam start the show off by talking about the world of virtual reality and social media. When is it too much? They catch up on tv and Michelle starts watching HBO's Insecure, starring Issa Rae. You wanted more true crime and the ladies are bringing you just that. Two similar but very different cases. The first is about Lauren Smith-Fields. A 23 year old Black woman, who had everything going for her, was found dead the morning after she had a date over. Lauren's family has had to beg over and over for their local police department to do their job and find out what exactly has happened to their daughter. Lauren's parents believe that if it weren't for Cardi B who tweeted multiple times about Lauren's case, an investigation never would've happened. The second case is about Brianna Maitland. A 17 year old White teenage girl, who disappeared back in 2004, after leaving her job at the Black Lantern Inn. You may've seen the eerie photo online showing Brianna's car being backed into the side of an abandoned house. It was three days later that she was reported missing. Following her disappearance, numerous tips were investigated by state law enforcement, including a claim that Brianna was being held captive in a house occupied by local drug dealers of whom she was an acquaintance.

He announced Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his pick to fill the vacancy left by the retiring Judge Stephen Breyer. The black Tennessee woman sentenced to six years in prison for trying to vote is free tonight. A judge found she deserves a new trial.

The attorney for Kelvin Silva will be here to explain how a man who came to the U.S. as a child got deported. He thought he gained citizenship through his father. The cause of death for Brenda Rawls, the Connecticut woman who died the same day as Lauren Smith-Fields, has been ruled a natural death.

Both Lauren Smith Fields & Brenda Rawls lived in Bridgeport, Connecticut when they were found dead on December 12th 2021. What connects their stories is that the Bridgeport Police Department didn't notify either of their families about their untimely deaths... Both families had to go looking for their loved one only to find out that days earlier, police had already discovered each of them dead. These are two separate cases of black women found dead on the same day, in very similar circumstances, where the same police department treated both of their families with no respect and little care.

1.31.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Judge rejects McMichaels' plea deal, CT officers suspended, Suicide & Black America, Dental Health The mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, demanded the suspension of the detectives involved in the Lauren Smith-Fields and Brenda Lee Rawls cases.

The Tennessee officer who fired the last two shots into the body of Landon Eastep has been stripped of his police powers. Could that mean there are charges soon to follow? We'll have the attorney representing Eastep's family here to tell us what's happening in the investigation.
