I was fortunate to be able to sit down with Vern and Bianka Landavazzo. Listeners will remember that Lauren Landavazzo was killed in the senseless tragedy we covered in the listener hometown episode we released last week. In this special episode interview, Vern and Bianka talk about Lauren and shed more light on this tragic case. You do not want the miss this powerful conversation. We discuss how the laws of Texas (and most other states) are woefully inadequate in what types of punishments are allowed in these cases where children are murdered. I was outraged and you will be too.         An Emash Digital Production See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rebecca Shaeffer was an up and coming actress in the late 1980's. She had already landed roles in a soap opera, on a sitcom, and in several movies. She had fans all over the world. But one fan in particular, Robert John Bardo, would develop an obsession with Rebecca that would ultimately lead to murder. Join Gibby and I as we detail out this case that would be the catalyst for many of the anti-stalking laws that are on the books today.

On September 2nd, 2016 Kody Lott allegedly gunned down one precious 13 year old girl and wounded another in Wichita Falls, TX. We use the word allegedly only because he has yet to be tried and convicted. He has admitted to the crimes. The circumstances, details, and motives behind the crimes are what will amaze you. Both of the girls involved in this case were beloved and we honor the memory of Lauren Landavazo who lost her life and Mikayla Smith who was injured but had the courage to help police capture the man who murdered her best friend. This is our first listener hometown episode. Jorden joins Gibby and myself to talk about the events of the case. She lived in the area where this crime took place and is able to provide details that most people would never be able to understand unless they lived in the community during this terrible event. We hope to make these listener hometown episodes a regular part of the True Crime All The Time lineup. The timing will depend on how much people enjoy them and how many listeners want to join us to talk about a case that happened in their area.
