Ep 30Dateline's Andrea Canning On Crimes of Passion and Hitman-for-Hire Plots
I sit down with Dateline’s Andrea Canning to unpack a chilling sequence: a man convicted of hiring a killer to murder his wife, released from prison, and then attempting to hire another to finish the job against the same woman. From there, we examine other cases where spouses are murdered and ask how perpetrators justify killing the other parent of their children to escape a life they feel trapped in. We turn to the Kouri Richins case to consider how high-profile “crimes of passion” are portrayed in the media versus what’s established in court, and we broaden to other notable passion-crime stories that test the line between emotion, calculation, and accountability.

Maggie also shares a chilling personal story about the one time she was duped by a charming, guilty man and explains why investigating law enforcement is often scarier than visiting a maximum-security prison. -Use code JUICYCRIMES at https://jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Cool Gloss with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad #sponsored Subscribe now to Juicy Crimes so you don't miss an episode!: https://bit.ly/juicycrimes Subscribe to Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald on iTunes, the podcast app, and get extra juice on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/juicyscoop See me Live: https://heathermcdonald.net/ Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathermcdonald TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heathermcdonald YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HeatherMcDonaldOfficial Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 18True Crime, Bad Decisions & Worse Alibis with Brandy and Julie
EA brand new Juicy Crimes episode is out, and I’m joined by the hilarious Brandy Howard and Julie Goldman, so yes, it’s dark, but we’re laughing through the chaos. We start with the new Karen Read doc Accused, because nothing says “relaxing watch” like a murder mystery, then spiral into director Timothy Busfield and his truly disturbing child sex abuse charges (hard left turn, sorry!). From there, we cover the Spencer and Monique Tepe murders, the shocking Amy Hardwick case, and Nick Reiner suddenly changing attorneys, because nothing screams “confidence” like a legal switch-up. We also unpack why Bryan Kohberger’s victims are suing his school (college admin stays messy), before ending with the absolutely unhinged Paul Caneiro case, where he murdered his brother’s entire family to hide an affair… which is obviously the worst way to get out of a relationship. Dark, twisted, and somehow funny, just how we like it. -Refresh your wardrobe with Quince. Don't wait. Go to https://quince.com/juicycrime for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
