On January 20th 1988 a man was arrested in connection to crimes committed by the Southside Strangler. And, with his arrest and DNA sample, came the exoneration of a man who had been behind bars for a handful of years.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Wilson_Spencer, https://innocenceproject.org/cases/david-vasquez/, https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=3705, https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s1/spencer-timothy-wilson.htm 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?
