Morning Cup of Murder

January 15th: Clarence Nesbit Born (1974) There are 2 sides to every story but that is made more difficult when one of those sides is not around anymore to say their piece. On January 15th 1974 a young man was born who would go on to commit a crime that, in his mind, was a complete accident. Unfortunately, the only person who can confirm or deny his claims, was the very person who lost her life at...

January 14th: Charles Rice Sentenced to Death (2002) In some cases, the only person providing the details of a case, the details of someone’s murder, is the killer themselves. On January 14th 2002 a man was sentenced to death for a crime that, at the end of the day, only has his version of the story being told. A version that, of course, doesn’t name him as the murderer. A version that cannot be a...

January 13th: Hae Min Lee Disappeared (1999) We live in a world where true crime podcasts are plentiful. But, that was not always the case.

On January 13th 1999 a young woman tragically disappeared an...

January 12th: John Joubert Arrested(1984) If you are anything like me, the idea of criminal profiling helping to solve a case is nothing but incredibly exciting.

A man who, had it not been for criminal profiling and a chance meeting in Quantico, could have gotten away without any connect...

January 9th: Cameron Todd Willingham Born (1968) Some things aren’t always as they seem. On January 9th 1968 a man was born who would, on the surface, seem like the only suspect in a mysterious fire that killed his children.

January 6th: Lemaricus Davidson Kills (2007) We tell stories all the time of a lone attacker who murders without discrimination and without any help from an accomplice. But, today’s story is vastly different. On January 6th 2007 a couple was car-jacked and taken to a home where not 1, not 2 but 4 people would sit back and play a dangerous role in their torture and, ultimately, in their death.  MER...

In the era of some of the most heinous serial killers of all time, one murderous family went curiously unnoticed: The McCrarys. Led by a psychopathic patriarch and his cunning son-in-law, this Texas clan roamed the country robbing, kidnapping, and killing up to 20 people, most of them taken from donut shops. “Families Who Kill: The Donut Shop Murders” recounts the wild and deeply disturbing story...

January 5th: Drew Peterson (1954) Never trust a Peterson. If you’ve been in the true crime world for a bit it's a statement that you are all too familiar with. In fact, this show has, over the years, covered a Peterson or 2, or 3. On January 5th 1954 another Peterson was born who would go down in history for the mysterious death and disappearance of not 1 ex-wife but 2.   MERCH IS OUT NOW!  https:...

January 4th: Gary Krueger Kills (2001) DNA has made it possible to connect even the most disconnected cases. On January 4th 2001 a man was killed and his case quickly went cold.

January 2nd: Joseph McVay Kills (2011) There comes a time in every parent's life when your child bucks up to you and refuses to do as you ask. A time where your arguments get a little too loud and emotions can get the better of you. For the most part, it’s temporary and, after exchanging apologies and deep conversations, everything goes back to normal and love comes out on top. This, of course, is...

December 30th: Gun Alley Murder (1921) With forensics always changing and evolving it stands to reason that some cases that happened in years past can and do have much different outcomes. Cases where an innocent person was sent to prison, or to death, for a crime that they did not commit. On December 30th 1921 a young girl was raped and murdered by the local owner of a wine saloon. Or, at least, t...

December 29th: Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman Disappeared (1999) Some stories are linear, straight forward, and leave little room for error. Others are like taking out boxes of puzzles and throwing them all down at the same table. Where, even when it all seems solved, there still seems to be so many unanswered questions. On December 29th 1999 2 young girls were last seen celebrating a momentous o...
