10 MAY 2024 · In this heartfelt episode, host Arlene delves into the tragic story of her uncle, Leon Laureles, whose life was cruelly taken in an execution-style murder outside Brownwood, Texas, in 1996. This poignant tale is not just about an unsolved crime; it's a journey through grief, injustice, and the relentless pursuit of closure. Arlene's narrative explores the complexities of Leon's case, a potential hate crime lost in a system overwhelmed with over 20,000 unsolved homicides. Her personal connection to Leon adds a deeply emotional layer to the story, as she recounts the life-changing phone call that announced his death and her subsequent struggles with loss and injustice. Arlene confronts the challenges faced by victims' families, from the frustrating lack of progress by law enforcement to the heart-wrenching moments at the funeral. Her determination to seek justice for Leon and other forgotten victims is palpable, as she calls for action under the Homicide Victims' Families Rights Act and the need for legal support to re-examine cold cases.

7 MAY 2024 · On a Friday night in June 2023, Rizza Abrera was sitting in the nail salon she owned, getting her nails done. Her ex-boyfriend, a man who had raised many red flags for her family, burst in, grabbed Rizza by the forearm, and dragged her outside. Several witnesses tried to stop him, but he pulled out a gun, threw Rizza into his SUV, and sped away, barricading himself in his Southwest Valley home with two other women, and their 3-year-old daughter. Las Vegas Metro’s SWAT team negotiated with him for hours before they finally went in. When they did, they discovered the unthinkable inside his home. http://sinspod.co/episode26sources https://sinspod.co/resources http://sinspod.co/resources https://sinspod.co/patreon https://sinpod.co/patreon  Visit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag! http://sinspod.co/apple https://sinspod.co/apple We're now offering premium membership benefits on Apple Podcast Subscriptions!

23 APR 2024 · Stephanie Isaacson was finishing up her freshman year at El Dorado High School in Las Vegas back on June 1st, 1989. She walked to school, just like she did every day, walking up Stewart Avenue, then taking a left on Linn Lane. She often took a shortcut through a desert area, and June 1st was no exception. Stephanie never made it to school that day. In the wake of her murder, despite a vigorous investigation, the case soon went cold. It would be nearly 32 years before her family got the answers they deserved. http://sinspod.co/episode21sources If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence please reach out to the following resources https://sinspod.co/resources http://sinspod.co/resources https://sinspod.co/patreon https://sinpod.co/patreon  Visit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag! http://sinspod.co/apple https://sinspod.co/apple We're now offering premium membership benefits on Apple Podcast Subscriptions!

9 APR 2024 · https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2248640/open_smsWe’ve covered many tragic cases in which a domestic violence victim or a victim and her children are murdered. Sometimes though, when a victim is pushed too far by an abuser, and through sheer luck ends up surviving, but kills her abuser. While a domestic violence victim surviving her ordeal is always a good outcome, living with killing someone, even a violent abuser can have a huge toll on the survivor. They have to carry that with them forever. Worse, it's not always straightforward that the court system will afford them an ounce of sympathy for their plight, and as we saw last week, might just call them a murderer and send them to prison. Is that what justice looks like? https://sinspod.co/episode22sources2 https://www.truecrimepodcastfestival.com/tickets/ Use code "sins15" to get 15% off your tickets! https://sinspod.co/buzzsprout Click this link to get started with Buzzsprout today, and make your podcasting dreams a reality! http://sinspod.co/apple We're now offering premium membership benefits on Apple Podcast Subscriptions!

2 APR 2024 · https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2248640/open_smsThe judicial system doesn't always get it right, and that’s also true in domestic violence cases. We refer to people involved in these cases with words like victim and abuser, and sometimes “murderer”.  The problem can arise when the domestic violence victim is pushed too far, forcing them to respond to a threat to their lives with a deadly outcome. The courts can't always seem to separate in that case who is a victim and who is the perpetrator. Standard rules like “stand your ground” no longer seem to apply. https://sinspod.co/episode22sources1 https://www.truecrimepodcastfestival.com/tickets/ Use code "sins15" to get 15% off your tickets! https://sinspod.co/buzzsprout Click this link to get started with Buzzsprout today, and make your podcasting dreams a reality! http://sinspod.co/apple We're now offering premium membership benefits on Apple Podcast Subscriptions!
