Baseball Bat Killer-Matthew Ponomarenko

Kai- The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker- Full InterrogationWithin weeks, Kai Lawrence (Caleb Lawrence McGillvary) became an overnight sensation after he gave a rambling TV interview that was streamed millions of times. But things took a tragic turn after his brush with internet fame, and in 2019, he was convicted of murder.In February 2013, Lawrence, then a 24-year-old homeless surfer, gave a bizarre interview with news station KMPH about a disturbing incident that occurred when he was hitching a ride with a stranger to Fresno, Calif.Lawrence claimed that while he was in the car with the driver, the driver admitted to S.Aing 14-year-old girl and then purposely hit a pedestrian with his truck before attacking a woman who came over to help.Lawrence said he then sprung into action and repeatedly hit the driver's head with a hatchet in an attempt to help the injured bystanders.The colorful way Lawrence communicated this violent story ("smash, smash, SA-SMASH!") caught the public's attention, and his account became a meme. The media swarmed around Lawrence, who seemingly faced mental health struggles of his own. Lawrence was invited onto everything from reality shows to late-night TV, and even appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in mid-February of 2013.Lawrence, who was still homeless, headed to New York shortly after his newfound fame. But within a few months in the city, he was arrested for killing a man named Joseph Galfy, whom he claimed had sexually assaulted him.Galfy, a 73-year-old lawyer, was found dead at his New Jersey home in only his socks and underwear. He had been beaten to death.Officers investigating the case found a sheet of paper with Lawrence's name on it inside Galfy's home, as well as a train ticket receipt leading them to surveillance footage of Galfy hugging Lawrence at the train stationWhen Lawrence was located at a Philadelphia bus station, he admitted to killing Galfy, but claimed it was self-defense following an alleged S.A. Investigators noticed inconsistencies in his story, and Lawrence was convicted of first-degree murder in 2019.He was sentenced to 57 years in prison. He remains imprisoned in New Jersey today.#policebodycams #bodycam #bodycamarrest #realbodycam #detectiveTrue Crime: The Court of Public Opinion Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!

"The Zombie Hunter" Brian Miller InterrogationIt took three decades, but the heinous, murderous acts of Bryan Patrick Miller – aka the Arizona “Zombie Hunter”  finally caught up with him. And they cost him his life.An Arizona superior court judge sentenced Miller, 50, to death for the brutal, bloody first-degree knife murders of Angela Brosso and Melanie Bernas, 17. Both murders took place in the early 1990s along the metro Phoenix canal system as the women were biking there. Miller also SAing both women, possibly as they were dying or dead.“The defendant did not just murder them. He brutalized them. And he evaded capture for over 20 years,” Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Suzanne Cohen was quoted as saying, explaining why she condemned Miller to die, rather than serve life in prison for the “Arizona Canal Killings.”“There is no question that what the defendant did deserves the death penalty,” Cohen said.Brosso, a 22-year-old from Cumberland County who relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, was stabbed and beheaded in Nov. 1992 while on a pre-birthday celebration ride on her newly tuned-up purple mountain bike. She was a 1989 graduate of Cedar Cliff High School – and Miller’s first victim.Miller’s knife attack was so frenzied, Brosso was nearly cut in half at the waist, according to forensic testimony. The exact number of stab wounds couldn’t be calculated; there were just too many.Her body was discovered along the canal trail the next morning. Brosso’s head would not be found for 11 more days. It was located in a grate in the canal about a mile and a half away from where her body was found.Ten months later another brutally stabbed female was found floating in the canal. This time it was a 17-year-old girl who was supposed to be home sick from school. Instead, Melanie Bernas went out for a bike ride along the canal in September 1993, only to encounter Miller.Bernas suffered a deep stab wound to her back. Just like Brosso, the fatal knife plunge severed Bernas’ aorta and pierced her lung. Unlike Brosso, a cross was carved into Bernas’ chest, along with the initials “WSC.” The meaning of the initials was never determined.Many more graphic details of both murders were chronicled by police, pathologists and forensic experts who testified at the trial.The unsolved killings in the fall of 1992 and 1993 had Phoenix on edge as the desert city braced for the bloody reign of a brutal serial killer. Instead, the killings stopped. The sensational case grew cold for 22 years.Then in January 2015, a DNA breakthrough finally linked the semen found at both murder scenes to Miller.Miller was known as the “Zombie Hunter” for the converted police car that was parked in his driveway. Miller would splatter the old black-and-white police cruiser with fake blood, much to the delight of trick-or-treating neighborhood kids.The car remained in his driveway right up until the day a breakthrough DNA match led to Miller’s 2015 arrest, some 22 years after his alleged crimes. Detectives used a fake job interview to lure Miller. They obtained his DNA from the lip of a beverage container he drank from during the ruse interview.When the tests came back, they had their killer.#policebodycams #bodycam #bodycamarrest #realbodycam #detectiveTrue Crime: The Court of Public Opinion Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!No fluff.

Anthony Palma- The Abduction of Kirsten Hatfield - Cold Case SolvedIn May of 1997, eight-year-old Kirsten Hatfield vanished from her bedroom in Midwest City, Oklahoma. It took almost twenty years before her killer was brought to justice.According to court documents, Palma was interviewed by an FBI agent on May 17th, 1997 at his home but was never arrested.His wife, who married him after Hatfield disappeared, said “Tony still gets upset about the case when it is mentioned.”Officials asked why he got upset and his wife said “because it happened so close to his house.”Prosecutors alleged Palma snatched Kirsten Renee Hatfield from her bedroom after she went to bed May 13, 1997. She hasn’t been seen since.Palma denied any involvement. He was arrested in October 2015 after new DNA testing connected him to items at the crime scene, according to prosecutors. He lived two doors down from the victim in 1997 and hadn’t moved. The new forensic testing revealed Palma’s DNA matched blood found on the girl’s bedroom windowsill and on her underwear, which was discovered in her backyard, police reported.The sentencing phase followed, and Palma was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Palma would only serve less than two years of that sentence. In January of 2019, he was found dead in his prison cell at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. He had been strangled and beaten to death by his cellmate. He took with him to his grave the location of Kirsten’s body.#policebodycams #bodycam #bodycamarrest #realbodycam #detectiveTrue Crime: The Court of Public Opinion Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!No fluff.

Disabled Daughter Left in Hot Car- Cristina Pangalangan Story- Rita Pangalangan InterrogationCristina died on August 5, 2019 after she was left unattended inside her mother’s 2012 Volkswagen Jetta for an estimated five hours – with temperatures within the vehicle climbing as high as 130 degrees. As first responders arrived on the scene and found the young girl non-responsive, Cristina’s mother Rita Pangalangan – a local school teacher – claimed she had only left her daughter in the car for a few minutes while she went inside her boyfriend’s home to get her cigarettes.Rita Pangalangan claimed she and her boyfriend – 45-year-old Larry King, Jr. of Walterboro – found the girl locked inside the car.Home security footage seized from the King’s home told a very different story. Specifically, it showed Pangalangan and King putting the Cristina in the vehicle at approximately 11:15 a.m. EDT and leaving her there for approximately an hour while they went inside King’s home. After checking on her briefly, the couple reentered King’s home where they stayed there for another three hours – at which point they departed the residence in King’s truck, leaving Cristina unattended in the vehicle for yet another hour.Cristina was born with developmental and intellectual disabilities so severe she was wheelchair bound and unable to communicate verbally. She required constant care. Rita Pangalangan and Larry King were convicted of inflicting great bodily injury on a child. Pangalangan was sentenced to 37 years in prison and King to 32 years.#policebodycams #bodycam #bodycamarrest #realbodycam #detectiveTrue Crime: The Court of Public Opinion Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!

Billions Missing in Ukraine, No Answers: Where’s Your Money, America?Billions of American tax dollars have been sent to Ukraine. But when asked where it all went, the answer was simple—“I don’t know.”** No reports. No full breakdown. No accountability. And yet, instead of demanding answers, Americans are out here defending a situation they don’t even understand.This isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s about a pattern—a long history of U.S. tax dollars disappearing into the void, from the missing billions in Iraq and Afghanistan to the trillions lost by the Pentagon, the COVID relief fraud, and the 2008 bank bailouts. Every time, by the time the truth comes out, it’s already too late.So why are we being told not to ask questions? Why is financial transparency suddenly off-limits?
