Nobody Called: The Fatal Consequences of a Community's Silence 34:09

לפני 20 ימים34:09

34:09

Send us a text Have you ever wondered what happens when a community's silence becomes deadly? When the screams of a woman in danger go unreported? The chilling disappearance of Suzanne Simpson, a successful luxury realtor and mother of four from the affluent Olmos Park neighborhood of San Antonio, forces us to confront these uncomfortable questions. Suzanne vanished on October 6, 2024, after attending a party at the Argyle Club. What followed was a husband who waited until 10 PM the next day to report her missing, neighbors who witnessed physical violence but never called police, and a kindergartner who told her teachers what she saw that night. The investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of domestic abuse in a marriage that had spanned over two decades. We follow the evidence trail that led investigators to charge Brad Simpson with murder, despite never finding Suzanne's body. From surveillance footage tracking his movements to multiple dumping sites, the purchase of cement and trash bags, her DNA found on a reciprocating saw, and his attempts to hide evidence by burning electronics and asking a friend to conceal a gun—the circumstantial case built against him is compelling and disturbing. Most heartbreaking is the revelation from Suzanne's mother that she had been developing a plan to help her daughter escape, a plan she never had the chance to share. Suzanne's oldest daughter has since publicly stated she believes her father killed her mother because she wanted to leave him, highlighting the deadly risk many domestic violence victims face when attempting to escape their abusers. This episode serves as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility. When we witness violence and choose silence, we become complicit. As Suzanne's case moves toward trial, we're left to wonder: could her life have been saved with just one phone call? Join us as we examine this tragic case and honor Suzanne's memory by spreading awareness about domestic violence and the critical importance of intervention. What would you do if you heard screams in the night? After listening to Suzanne's story, we hope you'll never hesitate to act. www.texaswineandtruecrime.com…

Murder at the Lace-Arlington's Elite Nightclub 41:58

Send us a text Behind the glamorous façade of Arlington's elite Lace Nightclub lurked a tragedy waiting to unfold. What began as a routine morning for three employees in December 1989 transformed into a nightmare when a man with a gun forced his way inside, leaving devastation in his wake. Jennifer Burns, a 24-year-old accountant, arrived with her roommate and colleague Sally Fogle for their morning shift at the upscale establishment. When day manager Clay Griffin joined them shortly after, none suspected they were walking into a deadly trap. After stealing over $11,000 from the safe, the perpetrator forced all three to lie face-down and methodically shot each one. Jennifer would not survive her injuries. The investigation revealed a shocking suspect – David Lee Herman, a former Lace manager with no criminal record who had reinvented himself as a stockbroker. Described by former colleagues as "the best manager we ever had," Herman's transformation from model citizen to cold-blooded killer stunned everyone who knew him. What drove a seemingly normal man to such a brutal act? During questioning, Herman admitted the crime gave him a sense of power he had never experienced before. This compelling case study in criminal psychology illuminates how someone can maintain a perfectly normal exterior while harboring deadly capabilities. It's a sobering reminder that sometimes those who appear most ordinary can commit the most extraordinary acts of violence when driven by unfulfilled desires for power, status, and control. Herman was executed in 1997 after a failed suicide attempt the day before his scheduled execution, bringing a final chapter to a case that continues to haunt Arlington's history. We explore the full timeline, the investigation breakthroughs, and the disturbing psychological aspects that make this case so unforgettable.

From Texas Wineries to Unsolved Mason Mysteries: Live Podcasting Bonus Magic 44:58

44:58

Send us a text A fading sun over Robert Clay Vineyards set the stage for Texas Wine and True Crime's season finale—an intimate gathering where hosts Brandy and Chris Diamond peeled back layers of Mason's hidden history through unsolved murders spanning more than a century. Standing at a crossroads in their podcast journey, the Diamonds announced their leap into video content after four years of audio-only episodes. "Our faces have been somewhat obscured for the past four and a half years," Chris explained, signaling an evolution for their 162-episode-strong show that pairs Texas wines with true crime narratives. The evening's exploration began with Jimmy Schuessler's 2001 murder—a case approaching its 24th anniversary without resolution. Investigators found Schuessler had bled to death on his couch after suffering a blow to the head outside his remote home. Blood trails revealed his tragic final moments: the struggle at his truck, his attempt to clean himself in the bathroom, and his eventual collapse in the living room. The location of his house—difficult to find unless you knew where it was—suggests his killer wasn't a random drifter but someone from his business dealings or personal life. Traveling further back, the hosts unraveled the heartbreaking case of 17-year-old Adele Kaufman, murdered in 1892 while walking home from school. Found by her father on a path he had specially cleared for her safety, Adele's brutal killing left few clues beyond a bloodied stone and evidence of a horse tied nearby for hours. The killer had washed bloody hands in a stream before vanishing into history. "Every unsolved case gives us theories, but little closure," Brandy reflected as audience members contributed local knowledge that textbooks and archives could never capture. What makes these stories resonate isn't just the mystery, but their connection to place—how they echo through generations in communities where everyone knows your name but some secrets remain buried. Follow Texas Wine and True Crime as they expand their storytelling through video while continuing to give voice to victims whose stories deserve to be remembered, glass of Texas wine in hand. www.texaswineandtruecrime.com…

Mason County Courthouse Arson: A Texas Town Under Siege 37:16

Send us a text A courthouse engulfed in flames. A community watching helplessly as history burns. And one man's terrifying 24-hour crime spree that changed Mason County, Texas forever. District Attorney Tonya Ahlschwede and Assistant DA Havana Schmidt take us deep inside one of rural Texas's most complex criminal investigations - the 2021 Mason County courthouse arson. What began as a house fire quickly escalated into something far more sinister when Nicholas Miller deliberately torched the historic courthouse while first responders were distracted battling the initial blaze. "We all sat around the square with everybody else in town and watched it burn," recalls Schmidt, who witnessed the courthouse fire before later joining the prosecution team that would bring Miller to justice. The prosecutors meticulously reconstruct the night's events, revealing how one calculated arson transformed into an extended crime spree involving armed robbery, vehicle theft, and culminating in a dramatic 60-mile high-speed chase broadcast live on Facebook. The investigation required extraordinary coordination between local law enforcement, Texas Rangers, and forensic experts to piece together evidence from multiple crime scenes spanning several counties. With over 200 exhibits presented during trial, prosecutors faced the daunting challenge of connecting all elements of Miller's rampage while demonstrating his clear premeditation through recovered text messages and online posts. This conversation offers rare prosecutor insights into a case that struck at the heart of a small community where "we all know each other, grow up together." Despite Miller's attempt to disrupt the justice system by literally burning it down, Mason County's resilience shines through - the courthouse has been rebuilt, and as Ahlschwede proudly notes, "the justice system is still intact, despite somebody trying to burn down the courthouse."

The Anna Moses Murder: Blood and Betrayal in Frisco 52:37

לפני 11 weeks52:37

52:37

Send us a text The suburbs of Frisco, Texas became the backdrop for a chilling murder when Anna Moses, a Russian-born analyst at the University of Texas Dallas, was found shot six times in her garage after failing to show up for work in January 2015. What first appeared to be a robbery gone wrong revealed itself as something far more deliberate. Anna's divorce from Robert "Bob" Moses two years prior had seemingly set her free. She maintained her home, excelled in her career, and was building meaningful connections—romantic and otherwise—at her workplace. But when police discovered a locked letter written in both Russian and English detailing threats made by her ex-husband, the investigation took a dramatic turn. What makes this case particularly fascinating is the constellation of relationships surrounding Anna. From the professor who had given her $46,000 to multiple male admirers who were shocked to learn about each other at her memorial service, Anna lived a compartmentalized life that became fully exposed only in death. Meanwhile, her 20-year-old son Igor's unusually calm reaction to his mother's murder raised eyebrows, especially when he later became the star witness defending his adoptive father at trial. The physical evidence painted a compelling picture: Bob's fresh hand injury, his blood mixed with Anna's in her recovered vehicle, and his unexpected inquiries about her will and insurance policy. But nothing in this case was straightforward. The mysterious missing Taco Bell quesadilla became a central point of contention, potentially disrupting the prosecution's timeline and Bob's guilt. Despite maintaining his innocence and a vigorous defense, Robert Moses was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Was justice served, or did investigators miss something crucial in their focus on the scorned ex-husband? Listen as we unravel this Texas tragedy where blood ties, financial motives, and broken hearts converge in unexpected ways. What cases from your community have stayed with you?

The Fatal Night in Englewood: The Story of T'Anda Hall 30:05

לפני 13 weeks30:05

30:05

Send us a text When neighbors felt the walls of their Chicago apartment growing hot on a summer night in 2018, they knew something was terribly wrong. Behind those walls, 38-year-old bartender and mother of three T'Anda Hall lay beaten and dying as flames began consuming her bedroom — the tragic culmination of what had started as a friendly card game hours earlier. T'Anda had recently met Wes Arnold, a man whose violent history remained hidden from her until it was too late. Friends who'd been playing cards with them that evening described Arnold growing increasingly agitated, particularly when money from T'Anda's "Rainy Day Fund" went missing. Sensing danger, they left. Minutes later, neighbors heard running footsteps down the stairwell. The investigation revealed a pattern all too familiar in cases of domestic violence. Arnold, on parole for battery at the time, had an extensive history of abusing women — so severe that even his own family refused to shelter him. Security footage, witness testimony, and forensic evidence painted a clear picture of what happened after T'Anda's friends departed: a brutal beating followed by arson meant to cover his tracks. Most disturbing was the medical examiner's finding that T'Anda had smoke in her lungs, meaning she was still alive when Arnold set the fire. While evading capture, Arnold's violence continued. He assaulted another woman who had briefly given him shelter, leaving her with 17 stitches. This pattern of escalating violence ultimately led to his conviction and life sentence plus 50 years for arson. T'Anda's story serves as a haunting reminder of how quickly violence can escalate and the importance of recognizing warning signs in potentially dangerous relationships. Through our exploration of this case, we honor her memory while examining the factors that led to this preventable tragedy. Have you witnessed warning signs in a friend's relationship? Sharing your story might help others recognize dangerous situations before they escalate. This week, we enjoyed a delicious selection from Robert Clay Vineyards. The 2017 Texas Hill Country Ruby Cabernet is a mellow, long-aged wine with unique aromas and flavors of maple, brown sugar and vanilla bean, but bone dry and medium bodied with rounded tannins.

Lakeside Murder: Solving the 1986 Lake Worth Mystery 25:17

לפני 14 weeks25:17

Send us a text The summer of 1986 in Lake Worth, Texas should have been like any other – locals cooling off at the lake, hanging out at what they called "the beach," enjoying cold beers in the hot Texas sun. Instead, it became the setting for a murder that would remain unsolved for over two decades. Lloyd Tobin was the kind of person everyone wanted in their corner – a 30-year-old bouncer described by friends and family as loyal, friendly, and protective. As a father, brother, and son, he worked hard at the local bar and was known for making people feel safe. In a cruel twist of fate, it was this protective instinct that would ultimately cost him his life on that fateful day in 1986. While hanging out at Lake Worth's makeshift beach area, Lloyd noticed a suspicious man approaching young people. Being the protector he naturally was, Lloyd confronted the stranger, telling him to leave the kids alone. What happened next would shock the community – the man returned with a shotgun and fired a single shot at Lloyd before fleeing through the brush in a bright orange hatchback. Despite witnesses hearing the shot and glimpsing the suspect, the case eventually went cold, leaving Lloyd's desperate family to conduct their own investigation as official leads dried up. The breakthrough came from the most unexpected source in 2009 – a letter sent to the Fort Worth Cold Case Unit from prison inmate Billy Wallace, who was already serving life for other violent crimes. In a surprising twist, Wallace confessed not only to Lloyd's murder but to multiple other unsolved crimes throughout the region. His detailed account of confronting Lloyd at the lake, returning with a shotgun when told to leave, and fleeing in the orange car that witnesses had described decades earlier finally brought closure to a case that might otherwise never have been solved. This episode reminds us of the random nature of violence, the dedication of cold case detectives, and the lingering question: how many killers take their secrets to the grave?

Her disappearance in the early hours of a July morning left her family in turmoil, unaware of the horror that had unfolded while they slept. This episode delves into the eerie discovery of bloodstains throughout her home and the chilling realization that Manuela had been brutally attacked. In our investigation, we spotlight the curious clue of bicycle tracks near Lake Cooper, a vital lead in identifying the suspect connected to Manuela's murder. As we piece together the events of that fateful night, the audacity of the attack suggests a personal vendetta, one that her family and community were left to grapple with.

On Thanksgiving Day 1985, a tragic bombing shattered the hopes of the Blount family, who had recently moved to Lake Worth, Texas. While they anticipated a warm holiday gathering, a mysterious black briefcase turned their lives upside down. Only the mother and son survived the catastrophic explosion, leaving investigators to grapple with questions of intent and identity. Was it a botched attempt on a different target, or did Joe Blount's past hold the key to understanding this senseless act? Join us as we unravel the complex investigation that followed this heartbreaking event. Forensic experts initially considered alternative explanations, from propane accidents to drug-related mishaps, before confirming the briefcase held a deadly bomb. The lack of clear motives and evidence created significant hurdles for investigators, who were faced with a tangled web of possible suspects and theories. We scrutinize the controversial conviction and later exoneration of Michael Toney, whose life was forever changed by a justice system that faltered under the weight of scant and unreliable evidence. Our episode also confronts the unsettling reality that the Blount family might have been innocent bystanders in a criminal plot gone awry. We explore theories involving a local jeweler and meth dealer, whose illicit dealings may have inadvertently drawn danger to an unsuspecting family's doorstep. This haunting case serves as a sobering reminder of life's uncertainties and the unexpected threats that can disrupt ordinary lives. With insights from surviving family members and seasoned investigators, we invite you to ponder the lingering questions that continue to overshadow this chilling unsolved mystery. www.texaswineandtruecrime.com…
