True Crime with Elli Mac

On the night of 23 July 2018, the phone rang at the police station in Sunbury, a town on the north-western edge of Melbourne, Australia.The officer who answered recognised the voice straight away. It belonged to a young woman the local police knew well. They had been to her home many times before.But this time, what she told him was different. The woman said:“I think I killed someone. I didn’t want to, but I did it. He came, he didn’t seem scared. I strangled him. He’s on my bed. It feels so good. I don’t want to be a killer.”The officers on duty weren’t sure whether to believe her. But when they got to her house, they found the scene just as she had described.What had Jamie Lee Dolheguy done to 24-year-old Maulin Rathod that evening?=============================DISCLAIMER - This video contains themes of violence.

May 7th, 2017 was an ordinary Sunday in the town of Bellaire, Ohio. For the Kinney family, it was a day to run errands. David Kinney, along with his wife Cheri and her 13-year-old daughter, had to make a quick stop at his best friend, Brad McGarry’s house to drop off an electric weed trimmer for him to borrow.But the ordinary task turned into something far more sinister when they arrived and noticed Brad’s door was suspiciously open. David stuck his head in and yelled out for Brad, but all that greeted him was a haunting silence. Struck with the fear that something could be seriously wrong in the home, the three members of the Kinney family walked in.And their concerns grew into panic as they realized that the house had been ransacked. They kept calling for Brad, but he was seemingly nowhere to be found. David made his way through the house, and when he got to the basement, he frantically shouted to Cheri to call 911.Brad McGarry was lying face down on the floor of his basement, with a pool of blood around him.When police arrived on the scene, officers found David and Cheri outside the house, hysterical over the loss of their beloved friend, who their kids lovingly called “Uncle Brad”.Brad was not only a dear friend to the Kinney family, but someone who was adored by a huge network of family and friends. As the investigation began, what looked like a possible fatal home invasion soon shaped into something far more personal.Someone who claimed to love Brad, and who may have been among the people closest to him, would ultimately be arrested for his murder.=============================================Special thanks to Jessica Kwazz for her writing and research help on this episode.Also, thank you to 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙗𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙣 for the amazing digitally hand-drawn illustrations to help visually support this case=============================DISCLAIMER - This video contains themes of violence.

For the next day and a half, no one heard from her.On the Tuesday afternoon, a friend went to the house. The back door was unlocked. Inside, Lisa was lying on the living room floor.

On November 11th, 2022, a woman in Salisbury, Massachusetts, called 911 and asked for an ambulance for her boyfriend.She told the dispatcher he couldn't stand. His nose was bleeding. And, she said, he must have ingested something. It was his 55th birthday.When emergency crews arrived, they found Leroy Fowler on his bedroom floor. He was in obvious distress, unable to stand, moving constantly, and barely able to speak. He was taken straight to hospital.Two days later, he was dead, and what doctors had found in his system would turn his death into a murder investigation.So why had the woman who had been with him for ten years taken his life, and taken it so cruelly?Was this about the twisted love triangle the three of them were caught in?Or was it as simple as this: if she couldn't have Leroy, no one could.=============================================DISCLAIMER - This video contains themes of violence.
