Wanda Holloway: “Deadly Pom-Pom Mom”

It seems like everyone is wearing an Apple Watch or FitBit to count steps and reach health goals. In the case we examine in this episode, the victim’s wearable technology was actually used as a tool to try to solve her murder. Two days before Christmas in 2015, 39-year-old mother of two Connie Dabat was found shot to death in her Connecticut home. As detectives scrambled for answers, a small device worn on her hip was key in learning the truth about her death. When law enforcement settled on a suspect, the news rocked the community and Connie’s loved ones to their core.    Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram and TikTok @MurderishPodcast.  Sponsors Earth Breeze: Visit EarthBreeze.com/murderish to subscribe and save 40%.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.   When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.   Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?   Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD: The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.

How far does family loyalty go? Most of us would do anything to protect the ones we love. But where do we draw the line? Keeping dark secrets is one thing; helping to cover up a serious crime is an entirely different thing. In late June of 1996, Delaware politician Thomas Capano put his youngest brother Gerard in an impossible position. The married father of four stood to lose everything if his affair with the governor’s secretary came to light. Tom decided the only remedy was murder. But he desperately needed Gerard’s help to pull it off. After going to dinner with her secret lover on the evening of June 27, 1996, 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey would never be seen again. Family members and the public were shocked and horrified to learn the grim details of her tragic death.
