In 2015, Susan McBride met a man named Bob on Tinder. Despite some red flags, she agreed to another date. However, Susan later discovered Bob&#39;s lies about being separated from his wife. She contacted Stacy, Bob&#39;s wife, who confirmed the cheating. Stacy had contemplated leaving Bob before, but he manipulated her into staying. Susan moved on but decided to check up on Bob. To her shock, she discovered Stacy&#39;s obituary, with the date of death coinciding with their conversation. Bob collected a large life insurance payout, and while suspicions surrounded Stacy&#39;s death, the autopsy was inconclusive.

Jarmecca Yvonne &#34;Nikki&#34; Whitehead was found dead in the bathroom of her Conyers, Georgia, home in 2010. She had been beaten with a vase and stabbed repeatedly. Her 16-year-old identical twin daughters, Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah, were arrested four months later and charged with murder. In 2014, both pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and were sentenced to 30 years in prison. The twins were initially raised by their great-grandmother and were honor roll students and Girl Scouts. In 2007, their mother requested custody of them but they clashed, resulting in counseling and juvenile court appearances. Whitehead regained custody on January 5, 2010, and was killed eight days later. Evidence implicated the twins, including bite marks attributed to wounds inflicted by their mother during the fight. The medical examiner called the killing a crime of passion and not likely to have been performed by a stranger. The twins are currently serving their sentences in separate prisons within the Georgia Department of Corrections.

In this week’s episode, Gretchen and Tabitha talk about a crime that is as unconscionable as it is frightening. This crime is the epitome of invasion of privacy and destruction of lives. Rarely, you come across a crime where the victim or victims that have led care-free lives until suddenly, a new discovery changes everything for them. And the worst part is, even though they haven’t been physically harmed, the emotional scars that develop as a result of this discovery, causes them to live in pain for the rest of their lives. Gretchen and Tabitha talk about Dr. Donald Cline, a fertility doctor from Indiana, who conceived numerous children without disclosing himself as the sperm donor to his patients. As of today, that number is 94 offspring. They talk about how a 35-year-old Jacoba, who was told that she was adopted, uncovered this disturbing truth using sites like ancestory.com and 23 and Me.“Oh, got through medical school so it’s got the brains, the brain gene.” - Tabitha (11:26)Listen as both talk about the case in detail and go over tough moments that include Jacoba and her siblings meeting Dr. Client in person for the first time, who came to the meeting armed with a gun.

The Dr. Client Case – Abusing Patient Trust and Destroying Lives How a Fertility Doctor Destroyed 94 Lives – The Cliene Files

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/3/6/18/77ac31f0-bbed-4fcd-ac3f-e6275dbd7ef0_ewives_of_true_crime_-_murdough_case_part_1_v2.mp3

The saga began in 2021 with the brutal murder of Murdaugh&#39;s wife and son, which was quickly followed by Murdaugh&#39;s own shooting in what was later revealed to be a staged crime. As the investigation unfolded, it exposed deep-seated corruption and unethical practices within the legal system in South Carolina.After months of investigations, Murdaugh was finally indicted on charges related to the murder-for-hire plot against him. In September 2021, he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and wire fraud, among others. He was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the crimes.The case also involved Paul Murdaugh, Alex&#39;s son, who was awaiting trial for his alleged involvement in a fatal boating accident in 2019. The accident resulted in the death of a 19-year-old woman. Paul was also found dead at the family&#39;s hunting lodge in June 2021, just days before the murders of Alex&#39;s wife and son. The case against Paul was dropped following his death, but questions still remain about his involvement in the accident and his connection to the later crimes.The resolution of the case brings a sense of closure for the families of the victims and the local community, which has been rocked by the revelations of corruption and unethical behavior among attorneys in the area. However, the case also serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of unchecked power and corruption. Alex Murdaugh&#39;s guilty plea and life sentence are a reminder that justice will eventually be served, even in the most complex and high-profile cases.Resources &amp; LinksHWTC Content<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6Pzw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6Pzw</a></li></ul>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrime" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrime</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/housewives-of-true-crime/donations'>https://redcircle.com/housewives-of-true-crime/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Murdaugh Murder Saga - Part 2

In this week’s episode of Housewives of True Crime, Tabitha and Gretchen discuss the case of Laura Heist of Lititz, Pennsylvania. This case is truly unique. There is no murder. No foul play. Yet it garnered so much attention that Dr. Phil got involved. “I know that it’s called Letitz, but I like to say little tits. Lil Tits, sounds like a rapper.” Gretchen – (07:41)On February 8, 2002, Brenda simply disappeared after dropping her kids off to school. Within days, Brenda’s friends and family were contacted and the police issued a ‘be on the lookout’ for her. Lee was even regarded as a suspect in the sudden disappearance and had to take a polygraph to clear himself. A $5000 reward was announced for any news that would lead up to her. Despite all that, no solid leads turned up.“Brenda might be a bad Brenda. Brenda might be a Karen.” Tabitha (12:20)Finally, 7 years after Brenda was declared legally dead and 11 years after the disappearance, a breakthrough occurs – Brenda is found alive, living as a vagrant in Florida. This discovery occurred when she was arrested for narcotics and false ID. She had met another man and had even vacationed with him to the Caribbean. However, after that relationship ended, she went into a life of cleaning houses, stealing IDs and smoking marijuana, never once thinking about her 2 kids. Eventually she realized she had had enough and went into a police station to confess her true identity. When news of this came out, it garnered so much media attention that even Dr. Phil went to see her in prison. She is currently living under care at a facility in Texas.This case is a difficult one for Gretchen and Tabitha. Join them in today’s podcast as they debate what mother would just abandon her children and vanish for 11 years. They also talk about the possibility of Brenda and her children, now adults, reuniting, and what happened to the $100,000 life insurance policy that was paid out to her husband Lee after Brenda was declared legally dead.

From Legally Dead to Alive and Well, The Infamous Case of Brenda Heist Episode – From Legally Dead to Living as a Vagrant – The Brenda Heist Files Episode – The Mysterious Disappearance and Sudden Reemergence of Brenda Heist Episode – Return from the Dead, The Brenda Heist Story

In this week’s episode of Housewives of True Crime, Tabitha and Gretchen discuss a case from Cameron Park, California. The conversation focuses on Todd Winkler and the suspicious circumstances surrounding the murder of his wife Rachel. Tabitha and Gretchen start things off nicely by exchanging Presidents Day wishes but then things take a sudden turn as dirty secrets and grim details emerge about the day of the crime. Nothing is off the table in this episode as Gretchen and Tabitha talk about affairs, being cheated on, and whether women should keep the ring if it doesn’t work out.“I don’t want to brag but I’ve been cheated on multiple times, believe it or not people.” – Gretchen (19:58)From the outside, Rachel and Todd Winkler looked like a normal couple living together with their three children. Todd was an ex-F16 fighter pilot and Rachel was General Manager working near the airport. But nothing about their marriage was normal. Both had their fair share of dirty secrets including Todd faking a car crash to collect insurance money and Rachel having an affair with the maintenance man.“By the way she did not hide her love affair with her neighbors. They saw James all the time. So maybe she just didn’t give a shit. Oh right, he is fixing my pipes at home. He is cleaning everything!” – Tabitha (18:18) When word of the affair reached Todd, he confronted James about it to no avail. Things come to a head when Rachel decides to divorce Todd and confront him about the custody of the children. A scuffle ensues and Todd stabs Rachel citing self-defense. However, crime scene investigators find contradictory evidence and combined with the mysterious death of Todd’s wife from a previous marriage under similar circumstances, they arrest him and Todd is subsequently sentences to 26 years to life in prison. The children are sent to live with their grandparents. Heartbreak, humor, deception, and twists; it’s all happening on today’s episode of Housewives of True Crime.In This Episode: <ul><li>(00:49) – Gretchen and Tabitha talk about President’s Day. </li><li>(02:32) – Tabitha talks about her husband getting kidney stone surgery on Valentine’s Day</li><li>(05:49) – Getting ready to talk about today’s case.</li><li>(06:00) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about Cameron Park, California</li><li>(08:08) – Talking about Todd Winkler, his wife Rachel and his 3 children.</li><li>(09:25) – Tabitha goes over Rachel’s early life and upbringing.</li><li>(10:50) – On Rachel meeting Todd and getting married 3 weeks later.</li><li>(11:56) – Rachel getting a job near the airport.</li><li>(13:00) – The dirty little secrets of Todd and Rachel.</li><li>(14:18) – Talking about Todd getting caught shoplifted.</li><li>(14:32) – Todd’s problem with lying about cancer and faking a car crash for insurance money.</li><li>(15:02) – Tabitha talks about her pet peeve. </li><li>(16:06) – Comparing relationships, celebrities, and Instagram.</li><li>(16:40) – Gretchen talks about the Brad and Jennifer breakup.</li><li>(17:10) – On Rachel having an affair with James.</li><li>(19:30) – On Todd confronting James.</li><li>(20:00) – Gretchen on being cheated on multiple times.</li><li>(20:30) – Tabitha on what she did when she found her boyfriend was cheating on her.</li><li>(22:30) – Rachel deciding to divorce Todd and confronting him with the news.</li><li>(22:50) – Todd version of events after the confrontation.</li><li>(24:24) – Todd stabbing Rachel in self-defense.</li><li>(26:15) – Talking about the crime scene, scissors marks, and neighbor’s account.</li><li>(29:09) – Rachel’s last works before she died.</li><li>(30:10) – Talking about the death of Todd’s second wife, Cathy.</li><li>(35:30) – Todd collecting Cathy’s life insurance after her death.</li><li>(36:49) – Todd is taken into custody and charged with Rachel’s murder.</li><li>(37:30) – Tabitha plays Todd’s crazy court room outburst.</li><li>(38:25) – Todd is found guilty and gets 25 years to life.</li><li>(39:13) – On Rachel’s dad taking custody of the children.</li><li>(40:00) – What happened to James, his wife and daughter afterwards.</li><li>(41:01) – On Rachel keeping the ring James gave her.</li><li>(41:25) – Tabitha and Gretchen discuss whether women should keep the ring or give it back.</li></ul> Resources &amp; Links HWTC Content<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6Pzw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6Pzw</a></li></ul>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrime" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrime</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/housewives-of-true-crime/donations'>https://redcircle.com/housewives-of-true-crime/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Todd Winkler Episode –Todd Winkler, The Scissor Wielding Murderer

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/2/12/23/de42dfad-eb03-4368-a840-fe4dac5ca734_housewives_of_true_crime_-_joyce_-_v1.mp3

In this week’s episode of Housewives of True Crime, Tabitha and Gretchen talk about a case that is as unbelievable as it is insane. You have got to listen to this one because you simply cannot make this stuff up. Today, the focus is on Joyce McKinney, a former Miss World USA participant and her life of obsession, seduction, and manipulation.Born in 1949 in North Carolina, Joyce was a pageant girl growing up and went on to be a contestant at Miss World 1973. She was very attractive and was said to be the complete package with the full blond beauty queen bombshell look, a great smile and bubbly personality, and an IQ of 168 to go with it (so she claims).At 26, Joyce moved to Salt Lake City where she met Kirk, a Morman, who she fell in love with instantly. However, Kirk’s mother doesn’t approve of her not being Mormon. Joyce too is not impressed with Kirk’s mother and fat shames her. “So basically, why I am explaining all of this is so you get a feel for this beautiful, eccentric, self-centered, total bitch that is Joyce McKinney.” – Gretchen (16:52) When Kirk goes away for missionary work, she doesn’t reveal his whereabouts to Joyce. That’s when Joyce’s obsession goes into overdrive. She hires a private investigator who successfully locates Kirk in England. She also meets Keith who advises her to hire a pilot and a bodyguard to fly to the UK, rescue Kirk and bring him back. She does exactly that and flies to England where finds Kirk and sends Keith to the Church to bring him out to meet with her. She then takes Kirk to a cottage and seduces him for 3 days. Meanwhile, the church, worried that Kirk has suddenly gone missing, contacts local authorities and news outlets. When Kirk returns to the church, he changes his story, and says that he was tied up, seduced and raped for 3 days by Joyce. Both Joyce and Keith are arrested soon after and the media crowns Kirk, the Manacled Mormon.“Oh, he popped it up huh, after you tie him up” – Tabitha (26:26)  “Joyce also doesn’t believe raping a man is possible. She says you can’t put a marshmallow in a parking meter.” – Gretchen (26:38) This became mainstream news and lots of reporters and people turned up at Joyce’s bail hearing making her a celebrity in an instant. Joyce, being extremely resourceful, manages to get fake travel documents for both her and Keith and get stateside. This outrages the British media who in turn dig into her past and track down a man called Steve who eagerly spills the beans of Joyce’s other embarrassing secrets.Joyce’s obsession with Kirk doesn’t end as she is arrested again in 1984 at Salt Lake City airport where Kirk works. After that incident, she lives quietly but becomes very paranoid of reporters trespassing on her property. She gets mauled by her guard dog and after that takes a liking to another dog, Booger who stays loyal to her until his death. Joyce takes that loss to heart and instead of losing Booger, flies to South Korea to get him cloned and comes back with 5 clones and moves to California.Joyce is arrested again in 2019 for a fatal hit and run of a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor. She is deemed unfit to stand trial and is sent to a mental hospital where she is today.In This Episode: <ul><li>(01:04) – Gretchen and Tab start off by talking about cocktails and crystal lights.</li><li>(03:28) – Tabitha on taking notes unknowingly on the shared notepad.</li><li>(04:38) – Tabitha talks about her experience at a fancy spa. </li><li>(05:56) – Gretchen on back to driving her car and met Greg from the car dealership. </li><li>(08:21) – Introducing this week’s case from Alison Russel.</li><li>(08:50) – Joyce McKenny – A quick introduction </li><li>(10:02) – Gretchen outlines Joyce’s upbringing and early life </li><li>(10:35) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about IQs </li><li>(11:19) – On Joyce moving to Salt Lake City in 1975 at age 26. </li><li>(13:05) – Joyce’s dream comes true as she meets Kurk who drove a corvette.</li><li>(14:10) – Joyce meets Kirk’s mother, first impressions and fat shaming.</li><li>(16:02) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about Donne and Marie Osmond’s appearance on the Joy Behar show. </li><li>(17:10) – Kirk going on missionary work.</li><li>(17:40) – Joyce hires a private investigator in California.</li><li>(18:03) – Joyce meeting Keith, an architect who had it bad for Joyce.</li><li>(18:25) – Discovering Kirk’s whereabouts and deciding to fly to England with a pilot and bodyguard.</li><li>(19:20) – How Joyce recruited the pilot and why he got onboard.</li><li>(22:42) – Finding Kirk and the pilot’s apprehensions.</li><li>(23:55) – Keith meets Kirk, and he reunites with Joyce.</li><li>(24:43) – Joyce takes Kirk to a cottage to seduce him.</li><li>(25:51) – Tying up Kirk with handcuffs and ropes and making sweet love.</li><li>(26:49) – Dancing at Hard Rock Café and Kirk discovering news about his kidnapping.</li><li>(28:12) – Kirk goes back to Mormon church and changes his story, says he was kidnapped, strapped to bed, and raped for 3 days.</li><li>(28:32) – Kirk makes news and becomes the Manacled Moron.</li><li>(29:44) – Joyces reaction to the news.</li><li>(30:04) – Joyce and Keith getting arrested after a setup.</li><li>(30:45) – Joyce holding up a sign that catches media attention.</li><li>(31:10) – On Joyce writing two letters and hiding within her.</li><li>(33:00) – Joyce facing the media at her bail hearing and becoming a celebrity.</li><li>(34:35) – On Joyce walking the red carpet and being photographed with John Travolta and Joan Collins.</li><li>(35:41) – Joyce getting travel visas for herself and Kirk using fake birth certificates to fly back to the US.</li><li>(37:18) – Media looking into Joyce’s past and finding Steve.</li><li>(38:18) – Steve spilling the tea on Joyce;

Obsession. Seduction. Manipulation. The Curious Case of Joyce McKinney and the Manacled Mormon Case

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/2/6/10/b5efcb55-27ab-4276-b92a-7eea62cae404_housewives_of_true_crime_-_belinda_v2.mp3

For this week&#39;s case, Tabitha takes us back to the Lonestar state and focuses on the tragic murder of Belinda Temple and the jarring investigation to capture the culprit. Belinda Temple was a special education teacher, and her husband David Temple was a former football star turned football coach in Katy, TX. They met in college, fell in love, got married, and Belinda gave birth to their son, Evan. They were living the perfect family life, with an unborn daughter on the way as well. “David was instantly attracted to Belinda and friends said that they were just one of those perfect couples.” - Tabitha (13:17) On January 19th, 1999, everything changed. Belinda got a call that Evan was sick and needed to be picked up from daycare early. Because of a work meeting, David was asked to pick Evan up. After the meeting, Belinda went to her in-laws to pick up some soup for Evan and headed home. David told Belinda he was taking Evan to the park, but instead made a series of detours and went back home after awhile.  David got home and found Belinda in their closet with a shotgun wound to her head. Police were called and an autopsy determined Belinda Temple was murdered execution style. As the husband and the person who found Belinda, David is the primary suspect for investigators. David does not convince investigators of his innocence, but there is no concrete evidence pointing at him as the murderer.
