Her disappearance was reported on December 15, 2022, by her mother, Diana Cojocari, after several weeks of inquiries from Madalina's school about her absence.Diana Cojocari and her husband, Christopher Palmiter, were both arrested for failing to report Madalina's disappearance in a timely manner. Diana claimed she last saw Madalina on the night of November 23, 2022, but didn't report her missing immediately due to concerns about potential conflict with Palmiter. She stated that Palmiter left for Michigan the next morning and returned on November 26, 2022. Both parents have insisted they do not know Madalina's whereabouts.Investigations revealed that during the period Madalina was missing, Diana took a trip to the mountains of North Carolina and sent a text message suggesting she was with Madalina.

Lori Vallow Daybell did not receive the death penalty due to a combination of factors primarily related to the management and timing of evidence disclosures by the prosecution. The defense argued that the prosecution's late submission of thousands of documents and pieces of evidence impeded their ability to adequately prepare for trial. Judge Steven Boyce ruled to remove the death penalty to ensure that Vallow Daybell's constitutional rights were protected, allowing her defense team sufficient time to review the evidence. The judge emphasized that his decision was not to penalize the state but to avoid potential reversible errors that could arise from discovery issues if a death sentence were imposed​.  The implications of this decision might influence Bryan Kohberger's case, as his defense team could leverage similar arguments regarding evidence handling and procedural fairness. Kohberger, charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, is facing the death penalty. His defense has been actively challenging the prosecution on various procedural grounds, including the handling and disclosure of DNA evidence and other investigative materials​.In this episode, we dive in and take a look at the possibility of Bryan Kohberger avoiding the death penalty due to prosecutorial misconduct.(commercial at 9:31)to contact me:[email protected]:Idaho suspect Bryan Kohberger's team could use same tactic as cult mom Lori Vallow to avoid death penalty if convicted | The US Sun (the-sun.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mexican drug cartels have increasingly turned to the tobacco industry as a new revenue stream amidst crackdowns on traditional narcotics. One prominent player, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been implicated in forcing cigarette vendors in several Mexican states to sell only specific brands, often under threat of violence. This operation, often referred to as the "Tobacco Cartel," employs tactics such as posing as government officials to confiscate non-approved brands and intimidate vendors.The shift to the tobacco market is partly driven by declining revenues from traditional drug markets. Legalization of marijuana in several regions, increased law enforcement pressure on heroin distribution, and the rise of synthetic drugs like fentanyl have squeezed profits from older drug trades, pushing cartels to diversify into areas like tobacco​. Moreover, local production of illegal cigarettes is a new phenomenon in Mexico, with cartels collaborating with local tobacco growers to meet demand, thereby reducing reliance on international smuggling networks​.In this episode, we take a trip south of the border to see how the Cartels are making their move into this market and why it matters to you.(commercial at 7:43)to contact me:[email protected]:From drug trafficking to tobacco: Cigarettes become a new branch of business for Mexican cartels | International | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
