Our True Crime Podcast
On the night of November 5, 1989, first responders arrived at the 3700 block of Delor St in St Louis, Missouri. Inside of an apartment, next to two bloody knives, lay the body of 16-year-old Tina Isa. Tina's father said that he had killed her in self-defense.
Police would learn Tina's father, Zein Isa, was a suspected ringleader of a Palestinian terrorist cell and had been under the watchful eye and ear of the FBI. The Isa's house had been bugged for some time and Tina's abuse and murder had been caught on tape.
Join Cam and Jen as we talk about Die, My Daughter, Die: The Murder of Tina Isa.

157. Smotherly Love: Kevin Boyd

We are headed north to Lake Orion, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. On August 6, 1994, a man was discovered on his apartment floor. His body is surrounded by blood. The man had fought furiously to escape his killer, as demonstrated by all the injuries on his face and body. His apartment showed no signs of a break-in, but it did look like someone had gone through the apartment. The man was Kevin Boyd, and his body was discovered by his son, Kevin, Jr.
What the 16-year-old would encounter would be the absolute worst scenario. Kevin Sr. is positioned on his stomach on the floor with a pillow over the back of his head. The blood spatter on the wall let him know it was no accident. Kevin Jr. ran from the apartment, desperate to get some help.
