Then, just hours later, Diane Ruiz, 43, was strangled, beaten, pushed out of a car (Which belonged to Kristine Melton) and was run over repeatedly. But luckily for everyone, the killer was arrested almost immediately as he called his father and confessed to the whole thing even telling his Dad where he was.

This one is off the rails....of course we talk Diddy to start things off,(it is headlines after all), then we jump into a crazy rare heartfelt story, where a kidnapped boy is reunited with his family 70 years later through DNA! And last, (and honestly, least) we talk about how once again Disney is taking it too far, by threatening to sue a family over their son's trademarked name. *facepalm*    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creepvan     Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com

Trucking tycoon Bill Hall Jr was a hit with the ladies (namely his wife Frances), but even at 50, Bill was still winning hearts. Like that of the exotic dancer Bonnie Contreras.

The neighborhood of New Brighton in Ramsey County Minnesota is a safe and quiet one…usually. Except for the evening of May 5th 2014 when gunshots rang out on Knollwood Drive. What had begun as a minor disagreement over feeding deer, would ultimately end with murder!   Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com  

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religious cult based out of San Diego, California, founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles.  On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group, who had participated in a mass suicide in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following the Hale–Bopp comet. Just before the suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: "Hale-Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ... Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion – 'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level."    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://www.heavensgate.com/   https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/heavens-gate-cult-members-found-dead   https://academic.oup.com/jcmc/article/3/3/JCMC334/4584381   https://www.sdsheriff.gov/bureaus/media-relations/common-questions/heaven-s-gate-case   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(religious_group)   Heaven's Gate Cult Initiation Tape Part 1  

The texts started after the arrest. Students texting their friends and parents, who then formed group chats with other parents. The details were fuzzy, but what they knew was Winston Nguyen, a math teacher at Saint Ann’s School, where parents pay up to $60,000 a year for tuition, had been arrested in front of students. Nguyen, 37, was charged with 11 felony counts, of posing as a teen and fellow student on Snapchat, where he allegedly asked children to send him nude, sexual images. Had this been Nguyen’s first felony, the reaction from parents might have been more shock than blind outrage. But, Nguyen had a long history of deception, he’d conned roommates, friends, and even his own family! So how did the school that claims to be “unabashedly committed to excellence,” welcome a con man into the classroom?

Remember Ellen Greenburg? The teacher who was stabbed 20 times in her apartment and her death was ruled a suicide? Yea, well they're thinking about changing that, shocker. Also we talk Disney+ terms and conditions. We're sure you've read them....you have read them right? Because Disney is trying to dodge a wrongful death suit because the victim signed up for Disney+! And last but not least we wrap it up with some good ol' medical malpractice. An Atlanta hospital is being sued after losing a piece of man's skull, and a pretty good size piece too, as far as brain flaps are concerned.   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com
