TIMESTAMPS (6:27) Charlotte Sena Update (10:37) Moms Who Murder About 2.5% of all homicide arrests in the United States are for parents who have killed their children. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss ‘Moms Who Murder’ cases that have happened in the past few months. Earlier in 2023, Tiffanie Lucas wrote on social media that her sons were “always together” and “never apart,” adding that together they were three souls and one heart. She added that she wouldn’t know “how to smile, love, or survive if it wasn’t for them.”  In November 2023, Tiffanie alleged shot her sons in their head while they lay in their beds.   Brandy McCaslin had been struggling with her mental health and had attempted to take her life earlier this year.  When her three children were taken to her home for a supervised visit, she ended up killing them before taking her own life. Nancy Johnson and her husband Derek had been having marital issues this year.  The family had moved interstate due to the cost of living.  By September 2023, the couple had separated and would take turns living in the family home with their two young children.  Derek broke into the home after he noticed there had been no movement from inside for a period of time.  He discovered the lifeless bodies of his two young children and of his estranged wife.  According to police, Nancy had orchestrated the scene to look like a triple homicide in the hope that police would think Derek was involved.  Law enforcement have ruled this case a murder/suicide.  Read our blogs for these cases - here.

Marina and Robbie Morgan were married in Sydney, Australia in 2022.  They had previously postponed their wedding due to the pandemic.  The couple held a lavish ceremony and jetted off to the beautiful Hamilton Island for their honeymoon.  Golf carts are the primary mode of transport on the island.  Just days into their honeymoon, Robbie noticed that the battery on their cart was low and he attempted to make a u-turn to return to charge the vehicle.  The cart flipped on top of Marina, killing her at the scene.  Robbie is facing charges in relation to his new wife’s death.

TIMESTAMP: (1:35) Natalee Holloway had the world had her feet when she went on a graduation trip to Aruba in 2005.  She was enjoying spending time with her friends in a beautiful destination. One night, towards the end of her vacation, Natalee went to a nightclub on the island where she would run into Joran van der Sloot.  This encounter would change the lives of the Holloway family forever. Natalee was not seen alive again after this night.  As of November 2023, her remains have still not been found.  Over the years, Joran van der Sloot has confessed to his involvement in Natalee’s disappearance and death many times.  He has also taken back his confessions and changed his stories frequently.  In 2010, five years to the day that Natalee vanished, Joran met Stephany Flores in a casino in Peru.  They went back to his hotel room where he brutally murdered her with a tennis racquet.  Joran was eventually sentenced to 28 years in prison for this murder. In October 2023, Joran gave another confession and gave details as to how he brutally killed Natalee on an Aruban beach in 2005.  Natalee’s mother Beth believes his story.  “It’s over. Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter’s murder. He is the killer,” Beth said. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we tell Natalee Holloway’s story.    Read our blog on Natalee Holloway - Here  We are now on Patreon!  Thank you for your support  This episode is sponsored by Skylight Frames – A Skylight Frame is the perfect gift for spouses, parents, new parents, grandparents and your children.  Get $15 off your purchase of a Skylight Frame at SkylightFrame.com/SOCIETY

TIMESTAMP: (4:51) In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss three separate cases of missing people. Jared Shadeed was a successful Immigration Attorney in Washington, D.C. In the Summer of 2023, Jared suddenly quit the job that he had worked so hard for, packed up his vehicle and headed on a cross-country road trip.  On July 30, Jared was seen on CCTV checking into an Airbnb in Seattle, Washington.  He took his laptop, phone and luggage into the property and he left again.  He has not been seen since.  Jared’s car was found abandoned days later, with the keys inside, in Los Angeles. Prisma Reyes had lunch with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Ryan in April 2019 in Mesquite, Texas.  The two got into an argument and her boyfriend stormed off, leaving Prisma at the bar alone.  She remained there for a few hours, drinking until the bartender cut her off.  Prisma left the venue and became involved in a road rage incident where she showed a gun to the other party.  She left the scene before police could arrive.   Prisma was last seen on CCTV soon after that, in the parking garage of Ryan’s apartment complex.  She seems unsteady on her feet and can be seen talking on the phone.  Prisma leaves the view of the camera and has not been seen since.    Law enforcement have said that Ryan is not a suspect in her case. In June 2023, Gwen Brunelle told her parents and her boyfriend that she was leaving home in Boise, Idaho to go on a road trip to Fresno, California.  Gwen’s hobby and passion was showing rabbits and she told her family that she was going to meet with a judge in that industry.  Gwen packed up her 11 rabbits and hit the road.    On Friday June 30, a police officer found Gwen’s car abandoned with her rabbits inside – many of them had perished in the heat.  Gwen was nowhere to be found.  After her disappearance, her family found out that she never had plans to meet anyone in Fresno and CCTV showed some erratic behavior on Gwen’s part.   As of October 2023, she remains missing.
