#TrueCrime #RileyGaul #EmmaWalker #TeenMurder #Podcast

In November 2016, 18-year-old college football player William Riley Gaul ended a tumultuous on-off relationship the wrong way—by picking up a gun. Two shots fired through the bedroom wall of his 16-year-old ex-girlfriend, Emma Walker, killed her in her bed.

The tragedy stemmed from obsession, stalking, and a desperate need to be her "hero." Gaul had staged a fake kidnapping to gain her sympathy and even stalked her home in black clothing. But the ultimate act of violence came at 3 a.m., forever shattering lives.

Arrested after a police sting set up by his own friends, Gaul faced a jury that eventually found him guilty of first-degree murder, stalking, tampering with evidence, reckless endangerment, theft, and illegal firearm possession. In May 2018, he was sentenced to life in prison—51 years before parole eligibility.

This episode unpacks:

The dark spiral from teenage romance to deadly obsession

How social media, Snapchat threats, and midnight break‑ins revealed a toxic relationship

The hidden sting operation set up by Gaul’s friends

The courtroom drama and life sentence that followed

Seth Welch and his wife, Tatiana Fusari, were a Michigan couple convicted of the first-degree murder and child abuse of their 10-month-old daughter, Mary Welch. They lived in Solon Township, Michigan, and gained national attention due to Seth’s extreme religious and anti-government beliefs, which he frequently shared on social media. What Happened? On August 2, 2018, Seth Welch called 911 to report that he had found his infant daughter unresponsive in her crib. When authorities arrived at the home, they discovered Mary Welch’s severely malnourished body, weighing only eight pounds—far below the normal weight for a baby her age. The Kent County medical examiner determined she had died from malnutrition and dehydration due to neglect.The Parents’ Mindset & Social Media Presence Seth Welch was openly distrustful of medical professionals, vaccines, and government intervention. He frequently posted religious rants and conspiracy theories on Facebook, criticizing modern medicine and expressing concerns that doctors were trying to control people.Some notable aspects of Welch’s views: He believed in faith-based healing and refused to take his children to the doctor. He claimed that vaccines were poison and that he did not trust the medical system. He posted videos about government oppression and his belief that child protective services (CPS) kidnapped children. The Arrest & TrialWhen questioned, Welch and Fusari admitted they noticed Mary losing weight for at least a month before her death but refused to seek medical help due to their religious beliefs.Both parents were charged with: First-degree murder First-degree child abuse During the trial: Prosecutors highlighted the couple’s extreme negligence and lack of remorse. Seth Welch was described as manipulative and remorseless, showing little emotion during court proceedings. Fusari initially tried to shift blame onto Welch but was equally held accountable.
