The Brutal Murder of Nohema Graber: Day 1: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

On the first day of our Seventh Annual "12 Nightmares Before Christmas," we are heading just north of us to Fairfield, Iowa.  On November 2, 2021, the community of Fairfield, Iowa, was devastated when beloved Spanish teacher Nohema Graber, 66, went missing. She hadn’t been heard from since she set out for her daily walk in Chautauqua Park. Just one day later, on November 3, her badly beaten body was discovered—mere hours after she was reported missing. Authorities found her remains concealed beneath a tarp, a wheelbarrow, and railroad ties. The police confirmed that Graber had suffered significant trauma to the head. This cruel act shattered the peace of a close-knit community, leaving residents not only devastated but grappling with a haunting question: what could drive someone to commit such an unthinkable act of violence? The answer would emerge just days later, but the age of the perpetrators and the motive behind their actions would leave the community speechless.Join Cam and Jen of Our True Crime Podcast to discuss “The Brutal Murder of Nohema Graber.”Special thank you to Abby Stout, who suggested this case to us. Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our EP Nico @theinkypawprintSources:https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/nohema-graber-jeremy-goodale-willard-mille-b2448484.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRV4LzHE71khttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeremy-goodale-iowa-teen-sentenced-killing-spanish-teacher-nohema-graber/https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2023/07/06/fairfield-teacher-murder-teen-gets-life-in-prison-at-sentencing/70387288007/https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/nohema-graber-why-spanish-teacher-070137251.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/18vij6a/november_2021_two_teens_planned_executed_and/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66111470https://www.facebook.com/nohema.m.graber/https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2022/03/22/iowa-teens-jeremy-goodale-willard-miller-nohema-graber-bat-snapchat-court-documents/7135981001/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nohema-graber-murder-willard-miller-jeremy-goodale-killed-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-iowa-prosecutor-says/https://www.behnerfh.com/obituaries/nohemacastilloycastillo-graberhttps://lawandcrime.com/crime/teenager-who-helped-beat-spanish-teacher-to-death-over-co-defendants-failing-grade-is-sentenced/
