Osa Gordon, “Her Voice was so Loud” | MURDERISH Ep. 065

In December of 1992, Justin Hopper, was making plans to move and get a fresh start. He was a high school senior at the time when he found himself in a dangerous situation. Justin had been selling drugs, and his instincts told him he needed to get out of that lifestyle before something bad happened. Justin was much more than a drug dealer, though. He was a kind-hearted, caring guy with a sentimental side. He was a football player who maintained good grades in school. Justin shared his plans to escape the lifestyle he was living with his close friend, Suzi. Sadly, Justin had no idea that he only had a few more weeks to live after sharing his plans with Suzi. Justin would never get the fresh start he desired because two gun-loving classmates had other plans for him.MURDERISH now has a Patreon page!

In January of 2015, a beautiful young woman met a guy, fell in love and got married. Just two months after her wedding day, Courtney Arvizu’s lifeless body was found in the apartment she shared with her husband. With her overnight bag packed, and her dog on a leash and attached to her dead body, Courtney seemed to be headed out the door. Unfortunately, someone would interfere with Courtney’s plans to leave and brutally murder the 25 year old. You get to be a fly on the wall for this story as I was a juror on the trial that resulted after Courtney’s murder. I bring you inside the courtroom from a juror’s perspective. Please visit the MURDERISH Podcast group Facebook page to discuss this episode, leave feedback and chat about all things murderish. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=540494462961219&ref=br_rs Episode Edited, Mixed and Mastered by John Bukenas of Audio Editing Solutions www.audioeditingsolutions.com. Music in this episode: Blue Dot Sessions - Bodytonic by Partly Sage.
