January 15th: Clarence Nesbit Born (1974) There are 2 sides to every story but that is made more difficult when one of those sides is not around anymore to say their piece. On January 15th 1974 a young man was born who would go on to commit a crime that, in his mind, was a complete accident. Unfortunately, the only person who can confirm or deny his claims, was the very person who lost her life at his hands.  https://murderpedia.org/male.N/n/nesbit-clarence.htm, https://deathrow2019usa.blogspot.com/2019/09/clarence-nesbitt-tennessee.html, https://archive.commercialappeal.com/news/crime/tennessee-supreme-court-denies-new-trial-for-death-row-inmate-ep-770150112-324299191.html/, https://www.tennessean.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2014/03/22/tennessee-inmates-on-death-row/6756355/ Learn more about your ad choices.

January 14th: Charles Rice Sentenced to Death (2002) In some cases, the only person providing the details of a case, the details of someone’s murder, is the killer themselves. On January 14th 2002 a man was sentenced to death for a crime that, at the end of the day, only has his version of the story being told. A version that, of course, doesn’t name him as the murderer. A version that cannot be argued because the only other person who can contest, was the victim of the crime.  MERCH IS OUT NOW!  https://www.bonfire.com/store/morningcupofmurder/ Join the Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/morningcupofmurder Follow Morning Cup of Murder on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cupofmurder @cupofmurder Follow MCOM on Instagram: @morningcupofmurder Have a Murder or strange local true crime story you want to share, or you just want to say hi?

January 13th: Hae Min Lee Disappeared (1999) We live in a world where true crime podcasts are plentiful. But, that was not always the case. Before there were hundreds to choose from, there were only a select few who paved the way for, not just other podcasters, but, in some instances, for legal cases to get the second look they deserved. On January 13th 1999 a young woman tragically disappeared and, depending on who you believe, her killer is securely behind bars. A man who, according to some, deserves a second chance at a new trial.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Hae_Min_Lee, https://allthatsinteresting.com/adnan-syed-murder-of-hae-min-lee, https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/03/226144/who-is-hae-min-lee-case-of-adnan-syed, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/31/arts/television/case-against-adnan-syed-dna-hbo-finale.html, https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a26755907/hae-min-lee-serial-killer/, https://www.insider.com/dna-links-ronald-lee-moore-serial-podcast-cold-case-murder-2020-2, https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/hae-min-lee-topic.html, https://www.oxygen.com/martinis-murder/alonzo-sellers-role-case-hae-min-lee Learn more about your ad choices.

January 12th: John Joubert Arrested(1984) If you are anything like me, the idea of criminal profiling helping to solve a case is nothing but incredibly exciting. On January 12th 1984 a man was arrested for 2 crimes that would, ultimately, send him to the execution chamber. A man who, had it not been for criminal profiling and a chance meeting in Quantico, could have gotten away without any connections to his other crimes.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joubert_(serial_killer), https://murderpedia.org/male.J/j1/joubert-john.htm, https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2020/8/25/john-joubert, https://www.kcra.com/article/dispatches-from-the-middle-john-joubert-boy-scout-serial-killer/31403368, https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/a-13-year-olds-dead-body-turns-up Learn more about your ad choices.
