Megan is bringing you her very first deep dive in a well known case from her educated perspective. It is not often that we bring heavily covered cases to the podcast but even if you have heard this case before, hopefully you will learn something from this legal perspective. Besty Faria was found dead by her husband in her home with a knife sticking out of her neck and her wrist cut nearly to the bone. Through manipulation and narrow focus of investigatory work Betsy's husband was wrongfully imprisoned for three and a half years. Then in 2016 a man named Louis Gumpenberger was shot dead by a woman named Pam Hupp. Hupps defense was not so well thought out this time however. Take a listen to hear how these crimes have come together. Join Patreon here to binge bonus content!

Molly Young was a beautiful 21 year old with her entire life ahead of her. Until one fateful day in March 2012 when everything changed for Molly and her family. A phone call to the Carbondale Illinois 911 dispatch indicated that Molly had taken her own life via overdose. When EMT's arrive however, they recognize right away this is no overdose considering Molly had an obvious gunshot wound to the left side of her head. The details of this case will shock and horrify you, and hopefully inspire you to a call to action like it did for us.
