Deadly Dads | The Patel, Haight, & Crayton Families

Deadly Dads | The Patel, Haight, & Crayton Families

On January 2, 2023, Dr Dharmesh Patel was driving his Tesla in Northern California. In the vehicle were his wife Neha, and their two young children. Exactly what happened is largely unknown, but Dharmesh allegedly steered the vehicle off the road and over a 300 foot cliff. Miraculously, the entire family survived the incident. As they were being rescued, Neha told paramedics that Dharmesh had deliberately tried to kill the entire family.

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss three cases of men who either attempted to kill or were successful in killing their families.

Michael and Tausha Haight had been married for over 20 years. There had been some incidents where police were called to the family home in the past in relation to Michael’s behavior, but no charges were ever filed. In December 2022, Tausha filed for divorce. On January 4, 2023, Michael’s daughter Macie texted a friend to say that her dad was acting weird. When neighbors got to the Haight house, the found Michael and Tausha and their five children dead. Tausha’s mother had also been murdered. Was the divorce the final straw for Michael?

Actor Robert Crayton was experiencing a mental health crisis. He had been involuntarily committed in the past. On January 7, 2023, Robert’s oldest child ran screaming from the family home in North Carolina. Robert had murdered his wife and three of their children before he turned the gun on himself.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019. I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months? Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have." A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.
