In September 1998, 10-year-old Anna Palmer was murdered outside her home in Salt Lake City after walking home from a friend’s house. There were reports of a strange man harassing young girls in her neighborhood, but no arrests were made. Over a decade later, advancements in DNA testing finally identified Anna’s killer, a dangerous criminal who was already in prison for another crime against a child.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss killer Matthew Breck. Breck was 19 years old when he murdered Anna Palmer in 1998, but he got away with it for over a decade. Skins cells under Anna's fingernails were finally matched to Breck, who was in prison on a 10-year-old sentence for a crime against a child under 16. As it turned out, Breck lived only a block from Anna back when she was killed, but police never even talked to him.

Mary Keenan O'Connor Part 2
1 RecommendationsIn part one of the Mary Keenan O’Connor case, we discussed Mary’s early life and the murder of 5-year-old Nancy Glenn. Mary confessed to accidentally hitting Nancy in a fit of rage, but she refused to sign the confession. She denied putting Nancy face down in a mud puddle. The prosecution argued that Mary lured Nancy out to the crime scene and deliberately held her down in the puddle. In this episode, we’ll discuss the verdict of Mary’s murder trial and the remainder of her life and crimes.
Join Mike and Gibby as they finish up the Mary O'Connor story. People were shocked at the jury's verdict at Mary's trial. There were accusations of bad police work and juror misconduct. But, Mary was free to live her life, and she married and had children. 30 years later, Mary became embroiled in a murder mystery again when a wife and mother was murdered, and two young children were severely beaten. Could Mary O'Connor beat another murder wrap?

Lionel Tate
1 RecommendationsLionel Tate was 12 years old when he was charged with the murder of his six-year-old neighbor Tiffany Eunick. At the age of 14, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder. Lionel said that Tiffany was hurt as they were playing. But, experts testified that her injuries were consistent with someone who had fallen three stories.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the bizarre story of Lionel Tate. Lionel Tate is believed to be one of the youngest Americans, if not the youngest, to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It later came out that Lionel's mother and his defense attorney were instrumental in him declining a plea agreement where he would have served only three years in a juvenile facility. This case reignited the debate on how the criminal justice system should try and sentence juveniles charged with serious crimes.
