A Toxic Pull, a Fatal End: Daniel Green

A Toxic Pull, a Fatal End: Daniel Green

Daniel Green was a dedicated father, a steady presence in his son’s life, and determined to move forward after a turbulent marriage. But his split from Erika Sandoval hadn’t settled into peace. Even apart, they were caught in a toxic pull; a cycle of jealousy, resentment, and brief reconciliations that neither seemed able to escape. When Daniel was found dead in his home, suspicion quickly turned to the one person who knew him best. In court, the fight wasn’t only over whether Erika had pulled the trigger, it became a battle to redefine who Daniel was, both in life and in death.


In this episode, I look at the 2015 murder of Daniel Green in Exeter, California, and the trial of his ex-wife, Erika Sandoval. Their relationship had been volatile, marked by jealousy, a bitter custody battle, and moments of reconciliation that kept drawing them back together. When Daniel was killed, the investigation quickly focused on Erika, leading to a trial where the defence strategy put Daniel’s character under the spotlight. I explore the toxic dynamic between them, the evidence presented in court, and the risks of turning a murder case into a trial of the victim.
