Vicki Morgan: “Execution by Media” | MURDERISH Ep. 154

Four months have passed since a jury acquitted Karen Read for the murder of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Some involved in the three-year saga have seen their reputations permanently tarnished. Others are riding the case’s notoriety to newfound fame and monetary rewards. The obvious question remains: if Karen Read didn’t kill John O’Keefe, who did? Scrutiny has swung from the accused to the accusers: the Canton Police Department, Massachusetts State Police and Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. As for Karen, there’s no indication she plans to leave the spotlight. A movie is in the works. So is a tell-all book. Then again, so is a civil trial in which she stands to lose tens of thousands in future proceeds. For John’s loved ones and many others, the drama is far from over—it’s just entered a new, equally contentious chapter.

In 2002, 17-year-old Ohio native Catherine Woods was among the dreamers headed to New York City to dance professionally. She wanted to make it on Broadway and had the courage to pursue that pie-in-the-sky goal. A few years after arriving in New York, Catherine was found dead in her Upper East Side apartment. After her barbaric murder, the heat was on NYPD detectives to track down her elusive killer. The city that never sleeps restlessly wondered how a young woman’s dreams could morph so quickly into a real-life horror movie. Who did this to Catherine? The NYPD would end up with two viable suspects, but only one left behind a crimson signature.

In this episode of Serial Streamers, Jami and her bestie, Jessi, discuss the viral Netflix documentary “Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.” The case is set in Beal, Michigan and begins in 2020 when high school sweethearts, Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenney, begin receiving a string of abusive text messages from an unknown number. The text messages become increasingly worse and it becomes clear that Lauryn and Owen are being stalked. As the school, law enforcement and the FBI begin investigating, the blame game begins with various people becoming suspects. Ultimately, law enforcement traces the stalker’s phone number back to an IP address that’s owned by none other than Lauryn Licari’s own mother, Kendra Licari, breaking the case wide open and shocking the community. As always, Jami and Jessi cover this documentary with their own opinions, hot takes, sarcasm and outright rage at this monster of a mother.

For decades, opinions have been divided regarding capital punishment. No matter which side of the issue you’re on, one question tends to haunt even the most opinionated: What if someone slated for execution is factually innocent? Can we ever be certain the right person is being put to death? In November 2000, 27-year-old James Mosqueda and his fiancee, 22-year-old Amy Kitchen, were gunned down in their upscale north Dallas home. When a suspect was arrested, it seemed like an open-and-shut case. But was it really as straightforward as it seemed on the surface? Or is it possible the couple’s killer continues to evade justice?
