August 7th: Jeannette Depalma Dies (1972) While elements like witchcraft and the occult can make for an interesting story, sometimes the fear of the unknown and the different create an environment that makes a real case difficult to solve.

August 4th: Jeanette Loff Killed (1942) How much can coincidence sway a case? On August 4th 1942 a young film star died inside her home in a case that was eerily similar to one that took place over 20 years before.

August 3rd: Gerard Soules Born (1936) Sometimes a bleeding heart and a need for company can come with a deadly price tag. On August 3rd 1936 a talented and lovely man was born and, later in life, found himself in need of companionship. It was that need, and the want to help someone, that put him into contact with a dangerous man who, depending on what you believe, may or may not have made this man pay for that decision with his life.  https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/kafka-in-vegas-murder, https://defrostingcoldcases.com/gerard-homer-soules-aug-3-1936-june-4-1992/, https://www.casino.org/news/las-vegas-man-granted-1-35m-in-wrongful-murder-conviction/, https://www.fox5vegas.com/news/crime/north-las-vegas-police-to-reevaluate-1992-murder-of-las-vegas-performer/article_a3c0c7ac-7be1-11eb-a4bd-ff2c8cc7312c.html, https://veldlaw.com/man-declared-factually-innocent-of-murder-is-granted-a-full-pardon/, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fred-steese-gerard-soules-wrongful-conviction_n_5933fe7ae4b075bff0f453fc, https://www.wxyz.com/news/sister-of-murdered-circus-star-helps-exonerate-wrongfully-convicted-man Learn more about your ad choices.
