“Holly Washa, Delayed Justice” | MURDERISH Ep. 074

When someone gets involved in the drug trade, violence usually isn’t far behind. It’s a dangerous path to tread where survival can hinge almost entirely upon alliances. If you piss off the wrong person, you might pay with your life. In the late 1980s, Missouri native Darrell Mease encountered an opportunity he couldn’t turn down. The 42-year-old carpenter was hired by Lloyd Lawrence, who happened to be a kingpin in a local methamphetamine ring. Instead of considering the danger he might face, Mease was blinded by dollar signs. This chance encounter set Mease’s life on a deeply violent trajectory. It would escalate into an extreme act of revenge outside a serene cabin in the Ozark mountains where an entire family would be murdered.

On a warm Southern California night in 2018, 23-year-old Vini Oliveira arrived home from working the late shift. He was greeted by two smiling faces - his roommate 26-year-old Chad O’melia and his new love interest, 27-year-old Bryn Spejcher. As Vini headed upstairs for bed, he left Chad and Bryn snuggling and laughing amongst themselves on the couch. After taking a shower and slipping into bed, Vini heard loud noises, and then screams, coming from downstairs. As he made his way down to the first floor, Vini could scarcely believe what he saw. A homicide investigation ensued as many people remained shocked over how a happy night amongst new lovers could turn so quickly into a nightmare. Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir.

In November of 1983, a mother and her three children were found “hacked to death” in their Bloomington, Illinois family home. The prime suspect was the husband and father of the victims, David Hendricks. The prosecution would have you believe that David’s religion and desire to pursue other women were motives for the murders. The defense argued that the murders occurred as part of a robbery committed by an intruder, whose bloody footprint was found inside the home. After two trials, a final verdict was reached …and not everyone agrees that justice was served.  Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast. We’re also on Facebook.
