Distance is defined as the amount of space between to points. To say that Omaha PD is far from solving this case isn't exactly fair because, we, at this point, don't know how long it will be until the case is solved. It is however, pretty safe to assume that currently, they aren't exactly close. No one knew it would be years until any arrests would be made and even then it's only a matter of perception. What makes something far, or a great distance? Is Alberta far from Omaha? Are we far from any real suspects appearing on Omaha PD's radar? Point A is no longer visible in the rear view and point B doesn't even exist yet.. Between two points, Learn more about your ad choices.

Garcia sailed out of the troubled waters of upstate New York and is now looking to dock at Creighton University's pathology program. Fast forward a few months in and the water is feeling just fine. Sadly this won't be true for long. Smooth sailing is only referred to as such, until it isn't. The iceberg destined to sink this ship goes by the name of Dr. Bewtra and she's known for being relentless and colder than most. There isn't a plausible scenario that exists in which Dr. Bewtra and Dr. Garcia got along. It was a mutual no love lost scenario for the ages. At the end of the day there was just not enough hope to keep Garcia's career afloat and he seemed dead set on going down with the ship. Learn more about your ad choices.

Check out the new podcast Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime. It deep dives into cases involving a more rare type of criminal, women who commit financial crimes and scams. In season one, host Jami Rice of MURDERISH podcast takes listeners on a journey to investigate Mary Carole McDonnell, a self-proclaimed heiress and the CEO of a TV production company based in Los Angeles. Jami met Mary Carole McDonnell in 2018 when the phony heiress hand-delivered pies to staff at the bank she was about to scam out of $15 million dollars. After she got her hands on the bank’s money, Mary Carole disappeared and still has not surfaced more than four years later. In season one of Dirty Money Moves we expose the REAL Mary Carole McDonnell, her multi-million dollar scams, and all of the lies she told for decades, including a sensationalized tale about the kidnap for ransom murder plot involving her little sister. We unravel how Mary Carole managed to hustle numerous intelligent people and sophisticated businesses out of roughly $50 million dollars, and whether the female hustler had help along the way. This is a puzzling and complex tale about greed, deceit, shocking truths, and an unlikely perpetrator whose story is interwoven with Hollywood’s darker side.apple.co/dirtymoney Learn more about your ad choices.
