    The Banfield Sentence & A Navy Reservist on the Run [Current Affairs]

    In this CA, Jesse covers two major Virginia murder cases: first, the sentencing of the Banfield au pair, who received the maximum 10 years for her role in the staged home invasion that killed Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan, and then a disturbing new case out of Norfolk, where Lina Maria Guerra was found dead in her apartment freezer after her Navy reservist husband allegedly fled to Hong Kong and fabricated a story about her imprisonment, triggering an international manhunt with potential extradition and national security complications. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

    Shredded Evidence: The Murder of Julie Snodgrass

    When a 33-year-old military wife is found stabbed to death near a U.S. air base in the Philippines, investigators initially suspect political violence. But as rumors of an affair surface and a life insurance policy doubles, suspicion shifts closer to home. What ultimately cracks the case isn’t a confession or eyewitness — it’s a shredded floppy disk pieced back together with tape, marking one of the first major breakthroughs in digital forensics.
