- Waves of Freedom to Tides of Terror: Tom and Jackie Hawks (00:26:16)
Tom and Jackie Hawks had built the life they’d always wanted, trading land for sea, and a house for the open waters. Their boat was more than a vessel; it was freedom, a reward after years of hard work and raising a family. But when they decided it was time to let go of that dream, they never imagined the buyers would come with more than buying a boat in mind. What began as the sale of their beloved yacht spiraled into betrayal, terror, and a crime designed to make them vanish without a trace. Some secrets stay at the bottom of the ocean deep. But not forever.★ Completing this survey will help the show so much - Thank you!★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.

- A Toxic Pull, a Fatal End: Daniel Green (00:31:52)
Daniel Green was a dedicated father, a steady presence in his son’s life, and determined to move forward after a turbulent marriage. But his split from Erika Sandoval hadn’t settled into peace. Even apart, they were caught in a toxic pull; a cycle of jealousy, resentment, and brief reconciliations that neither seemed able to escape. When Daniel was found dead in his home, suspicion quickly turned to the one person who knew him best. In court, the fight wasn’t only over whether Erika had pulled the trigger, it became a battle to redefine who Daniel was, both in life and in death.In this episode, I look at the 2015 murder of Daniel Green in Exeter, California, and the trial of his ex-wife, Erika Sandoval. Their relationship had been volatile, marked by jealousy, a bitter custody battle, and moments of reconciliation that kept drawing them back together. When Daniel was killed, the investigation quickly focused on Erika, leading to a trial where the defence strategy put Daniel’s character under the spotlight. I explore the toxic dynamic between them, the evidence presented in court, and the risks of turning a murder case into a trial of the victim.★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.

- A Missing Man, A Manuscript and a Murder : Johnny Altinger (00:51:09)
Johnny Altinger wasn’t reckless. He didn’t take chances, didn’t skip plans, didn’t just disappear. So when he vanished after a first date with a woman he’d met online, his friends knew something was wrong. What began with a gut feeling soon spiraled into a case stranger than fiction, one that led police to a rented garage, and the warped imagination of an aspiring filmmaker obsessed with a fictional character. This wasn’t a date gone wrong. It was a performance. This wasn’t just a murder. It was a script. One the killer intended to rewrite, again and again.★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.

Greer Lawrance was just 20 years old; kind,thoughtful, full of life, and deeply loved by those who knew her. She knew her worth, and had walked away from a relationship that had turned toxic, choosing peace over chaos and control. But when a man refuses to accept the word "no," even the safest places can become the most dangerous.In this shorter episode, I explore not only Greer's case, but what her story reveals about how breakups can become a catalyst for fatal violence.★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.

- Coercion, Control, and Eight Lives Lost: Valerie Jackson (00:30:10)
Valerie Jackson didn’t have an easy life, but she kept trying to make the best of it; for herself and for her children. Caught between two volatile men, she moved back and forth, hoping each time for peace, for change, for a fresh start. It wasn’t simple. The choices she made weren’t always safe, but they were human, shaped by pressure, control, and fear that rarely showed on the surface.When everything unraveled in the summer of 2015, it wasn’t sudden. It built slowly, through court files, CPS reports, and the kind of warnings people only fully understand in hindsight. What happened inside that Houston home was brutal, but it wasn’t senseless. It was the result of missed chances, delayed responses, and a cycle of control that never let go.This is the story of Valerie Jackson: a mother trying to navigate impossible choices, a system that waited too long to act,and the loss of eight lives.★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.

- A Fire, A Family's Grief, and a Chilling Confession: Mary Gregory (00:35:57)
She was 94 years old, a strong, determined grandmother battling dementia. Yet despite her diagnosis, Mary Gregory’s independent spirit meant she continued living alone in her modest bungalow in Lancashire, England. When a house fire tragically claimed her life in May 2018, it was written off as nothing more than a heartbreaking accident—a sad end to a long and well-loved life.But just one year later, a comment made during a counselling session would open the door to something far darker. Something no one in her family could have imagined.In this episode, I explore the death of Mary Gregory, the investigation that followed, and the disturbing confession that turned a tragic fire into a calculated act of betrayal.

She was kind, dependable, and loved by those who knew her, a devoted mother whose world revolved around her family; especially her youngest son. But just days before Christmas, 54-year-old Carol-Anne Taggart vanished from her home in Dunfermline, Scotland. The house was quiet, her phone unanswered… and her car was gone.As concern grew, so did suspicion. Her son reported her missing, but his story raised questions, and his actions in the days that followed only deepened the mystery.

- BONUS: Alice and Anggy (00:10:40)
Our Facebook Community Members spoke, and the response was an overwhelming yes! During our season hiatus, I’ll be periodically bringing you bonus bitesize episodes—stories originally shared on my TikTok account before this podcast grew. Today's bitesize episode features two tragic cases, both involving women who were simply seeking love. Alice Ruggles began a relationship with an Army soldier, but when things turned sour and she broke it off, he refused to take no for an answer. Anggy Diaz thought she was the luckiest girl in the world when she married the love of her life—but within weeks of their wedding, his true colors emerged, with devastating consequences. ★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/revo/kinetic★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.
