We’re breaking down all the major updates: what’s been uncovered in the past year, what was missed in the original investigation, and why so many people are still demanding answers.

On Halloween night, 2001, Columbia, Missouri, was quiet until the body of Kent Heitholt, a beloved sports editor for the Columbia Daily Tribune, was found brutally beaten and strangled in the newspaper’s parking lot. The crime scene was chaotic. Two janitors claimed to have seen mysterious men nearby.  It would take two years before a tip from a college student led detectives to a shocking confession. But that confession, and everything that followed, would unravel one of Missouri’s most controversial murder cases. Was justice served? Or did the wrong men pay the price for a crime that still raises more questions than answers? 🔎Join Our True Crime Club & Get Exclusive Content & Perk  Join The Club: https://www.patreon.com/annieelise 🎧 Need More to Binge?  Listen to both of my weekly true crime series 10 to Life & Serialously with Annie Elise wherever you get your podcasts on the Annie Elise Channel! 🍎Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3WpfSP8     Where you can also unlock access to 100+ and growing extra exclusive deep dives. 💚Spotify: https://bit.ly/AnnieEliseSpotify  🎙️All Other Platforms: https://bit.ly/annieeliseaudioboom 📸Follow Annie on Socials  Instagram: https://instagram.com/@_annieelise  TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@_annieelise Substack: https://bit.ly/AnnieEliseSubstack  Facebook: https://facebook.com/@10tolife 👗Shop Annie’s Must-Haves!  ShopMY: https://bit.ly/annieelise_shopmy  Amazon: https://bit.ly/annieelise_amazon   ⭐ Sponsors  Sundays Food for Dogs: go to http://sundaysfordogs.com/10tolife and get 50% off your first order.

*PSA* Part of this episode includes an older recording of me discussing the case. It sounds extremely fast because that is when I would cover cases in 10 min or less (10 to life).

When 17-year-old Jordan Turpin escaped in 2018 and called 911, the world learned about the unimaginable abuse happening inside that Perris, California home. But what many people don’t realize is that the nightmare didn’t end the day those children were rescued, in many ways, it had only just begun… If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow the show for weekly deep dives into the darkest true crime cases!
