So much so that, time and time again, people end up in situations they aren’t completely happy in or can sometimes cause them harm. On January 24th 2006 a young woman was killed for going against the wishes of her traditional family. A type of murder that is, unfortunatly, all too common in some families. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Banaz_Mahmod, https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/sep/21/uk-policing-why-not-enough-has-changed-since-the-murder-of-banaz-mahmod, https://www.the-sun.com/news/1553907/banaz-mahmods-mother-where-is-she-now-honour-killing/, https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/banaz-mahmods-boyfriends-brave-act-22750374https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/banaz-mahmods-horrifying-two-hour-22743855, https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1341060/Banaz-Mahmod-killers-now-Mohammed-Saleh-Ali-Omar-Hussain-Mohamad-Hama, https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-54344373, https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/honour-itv-banaz-mahmod-killers-19012925 Learn more about your ad choices.

January 23rd: Murder of Willie Edwards (1957) Our history is filled with dark events. And, perhaps, some of the darkest involved the thousands of lynchings committed against completely innocent men, women, and children, who were judged by the color of their skin, the religion they practiced, sexuality, and general difference. On January 23rd 1957 a young man with so much brightness in his future disappeared into the night only to have his abductors, his admitted murderers, walk freely for the rest of their lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Willie_Edwards, https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/04/us/murder-memory-klan-special-report-widow-inherits-confession-36-year-old-hate.html, https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/2019/04/29/eji-memorializes-willie-edwards-jr-montgomery-klan-victim/3618132002/, https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/klan-forces-man-jump/, https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/jan/23, https://historycollection.com/cowards-behind-sheets-10-worst-crimes-committed-ku-klux-klan/7/ Learn more about your ad choices.

January 22nd: Eric Smith Born (1980) When we think cold blooded, vicious, murder we often think of large, looming, and terrifying men whom we cross the rode to avoid. We don’t often think of small, innocent looking children with glasses, freckles, and red unkempt hair. On January 22nd 1980 a killer was born who would take a life just as he reached his teen years. A boy who some think is a cold blooded danger to society and others think needs to be placed in a facility and treated for a rare mental illness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Smith_(murderer), https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/01/22/child-killer-eric-smith-has-been-denied-parole/4547611002/, https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/smith-eric-m.htm, https://13wham.com/news/local/man-convicted-of-murder-at-13-years-old-denied-parole-again, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-did-eric-kill-10-12-2004/ Learn more about your ad choices.

A story that changed again, and again, and again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

January 20th: Southside Strangler Arrested (1988) We talk a lot about DNA and how it can help solve even the coldest of cases. But, DNA can also set an innocent person free after circumstances, and false confessions, land him or her behind prison walls. On January 20th 1988 a man was arrested in connection to crimes committed by the Southside Strangler. And, with his arrest and DNA sample, came the exoneration of a man who had been behind bars for a handful of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Wilson_Spencer, https://innocenceproject.org/cases/david-vasquez/, https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=3705, https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s1/spencer-timothy-wilson.htm Learn more about your ad choices.

January 15th: Clarence Nesbit Born (1974) There are 2 sides to every story but that is made more difficult when one of those sides is not around anymore to say their piece. On January 15th 1974 a young man was born who would go on to commit a crime that, in his mind, was a complete accident. Unfortunately, the only person who can confirm or deny his claims, was the very person who lost her life at his hands. https://murderpedia.org/male.N/n/nesbit-clarence.htm, https://deathrow2019usa.blogspot.com/2019/09/clarence-nesbitt-tennessee.html, https://archive.commercialappeal.com/news/crime/tennessee-supreme-court-denies-new-trial-for-death-row-inmate-ep-770150112-324299191.html/, https://www.tennessean.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2014/03/22/tennessee-inmates-on-death-row/6756355/ Learn more about your ad choices.

January 14th: Charles Rice Sentenced to Death (2002) In some cases, the only person providing the details of a case, the details of someone’s murder, is the killer themselves. On January 14th 2002 a man was sentenced to death for a crime that, at the end of the day, only has his version of the story being told. A version that, of course, doesn’t name him as the murderer. A version that cannot be argued because the only other person who can contest, was the victim of the crime.

January 13th: Hae Min Lee Disappeared (1999) We live in a world where true crime podcasts are plentiful. But, that was not always the case. Before there were hundreds to choose from, there were only a select few who paved the way for, not just other podcasters, but, in some instances, for legal cases to get the second look they deserved. On January 13th 1999 a young woman tragically disappeared and, depending on who you believe, her killer is securely behind bars. A man who, according to some, deserves a second chance at a new trial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Hae_Min_Lee, https://allthatsinteresting.com/adnan-syed-murder-of-hae-min-lee, https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/03/226144/who-is-hae-min-lee-case-of-adnan-syed, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/31/arts/television/case-against-adnan-syed-dna-hbo-finale.html, https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a26755907/hae-min-lee-serial-killer/, https://www.insider.com/dna-links-ronald-lee-moore-serial-podcast-cold-case-murder-2020-2, https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/hae-min-lee-topic.html, https://www.oxygen.com/martinis-murder/alonzo-sellers-role-case-hae-min-lee Learn more about your ad choices.

January 12th: John Joubert Arrested(1984) If you are anything like me, the idea of criminal profiling helping to solve a case is nothing but incredibly exciting. On January 12th 1984 a man was arrested for 2 crimes that would, ultimately, send him to the execution chamber. A man who, had it not been for criminal profiling and a chance meeting in Quantico, could have gotten away without any connections to his other crimes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joubert_(serial_killer), https://murderpedia.org/male.J/j1/joubert-john.htm, https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2020/8/25/john-joubert, https://www.kcra.com/article/dispatches-from-the-middle-john-joubert-boy-scout-serial-killer/31403368, https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/a-13-year-olds-dead-body-turns-up Learn more about your ad choices.
