While Jess binges another docu-series, she comes across a murder from 1994 that happened in the town of Bellevue, Washington. In her mind, this is just more proof the PNW is the epicenter of murder crime. Of course she needs to know more after finishing the 2 episodes on "The Confession Files" that describe the crime and researches as much as she can on it.
That brings us to our latest podcast episode; "The Rafay Family Murders". Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns were Canadian citizens ultimately convicted of killing 3 members of Atif's family in 2004 and both were sentenced to life without possibility of parole in the U.S. The most compelling evidence used in court by prosecutors was obtained in Canada in a manner that is illegal in the states. Which leads to the question, did Burns and Rafay receive fair trials?
Join us as we discuss the particulars of the timeline and behavior of the two young men after the murders take place. We'll also share our thoughts on the evidence and if we agree in its use during the trials. And of course, we're share our opinions on their guilt. Were they just a couple of young, dumb boys or sociopathic murderers who didn't expect to get caught? Listen in and share your thoughts!
