The Cowardly Murder of Sami Sidhom

A young man on his way home from a football game finds himself confronted with a choice. Take the short path and walk through a situation that gets out of control fast or take the long path and avoid the situation completely. He makes the right choice- only fate has other ideas. The situation and him collide and he is left fighting for his life- having done nothing wrong. Someone chose to involve him, and to take his life.

Summary

In this episode, Cherry and Morgan discuss the unsolved case of Sammy Sidum, an 18-year-old who was fatally stabbed in 2018. Sammy was described as popular, ambitious, and caring, with a passion for law and helping others. The attack occurred after Sammy witnessed an altercation between rival gangs and tried to avoid it. Despite multiple arrests, no one has been convicted for Sammy's murder. The hosts highlight the impact on Sammy's family and the need for witnesses to come forward. They also discuss the broader issue of gang violence and the grooming of young individuals. In this conversation, Morgan and Cherry discuss a bizarre incident where suspects escaped from a Porta Potty. They explore the gross and humorous aspects of the situation, highlighting the challenges faced by the police officers involved. The hosts also provide information on how to contact them for case suggestions.

The Murder of Tristan Brübach

The Murder of Tristan Brübach

Near the Frankfort-Hochst Train Station, in the outskirts of Frankfort, Germany you will find the Liederbach Tunnel. A small walkway and river egress which leads underneath the train tracks above. For many years, the dimly lit tunnel was used by neighborhood kids as a shortcut to schools and playgrounds. But in 1998, the tunnel became the scene of a cruel, gruesome, and inhumane murder and has been gated off ever since. This is the Murder of Tristan Brubach.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crimepedia/support Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

Three Shots at 10 Crescent: The Murder of Alistair Wilson

Three Shots at 10 Crescent: The Murder of Alistair Wilson

On the 28th of November 2004, Alistair Wilson was at home with his wife and kids. At 7pm the doorbell rang and Alistair’s wife Veronica answered the door to a man who only spoke two words to her, Alistair Wilson. She assumes that the man had something to do with Alistair’s work, and while Alistair goes to the door, she then attends to her small children. Alistair returns to the children’s room carrying a blue envelop addressed to Paul. He is bewildered as the envelop is empty and asks Veronica if the man definitely asked for him, which she agreed he did. They talk for a few seconds before Alistair goes back to the front door to see if the man was still there. Moments later, Veronica hears three gun shots. She runs down the stairs to find Alistair on the floor; he has been shot as close range, twice in the head and once in the torso. He is breathing but barely conscience. Veronica sees his killer fleeing the scene. An hour later, Alistair is pronounced dead. Who killed him and why?
