  1. The Misunderstood Shooting of Daniel Harris

    01/22/2021

    The Misunderstood Shooting of Daniel Harris

    Daniel Harris was a 29-year-old man living in Charlotte, North Carolina in August of 2016. Daniel, along with his entire family, are deaf and rely on American Sign Language to communicate. On August 23rd Daniel was speeding home on the I485 when he was pursued by State Trooper Jermaine Justus Saunders. Officer Saunders attempted many times to pull Daniel over, but a high speed car chase ensued. Daniel arrived at his house and got out of his car; within seconds he would be killed by a single gunshot from Officer Saunders. Both Daniel and Officer Saunders were misunderstood and this led to the controversial issues relating to police interactions with the deaf community. Some would argue that the fatal shot was fired too quickly, whereas others would say that Officer Saunders was justified in his decision to use deadly force. Join me as I navigate this complicated case and look at both sides of the story from beginning to end.

    The Lynching of Duran Bailey- Part 2

    *I made a goof in this episode. I said that Panaca was in New Mexico, but it is actually in Nevada just north of Las Vegas*  This story doesn't start or end with Duran Bailey, but it should. At the end of the day, this man was lynched for an alleged rape in 2001. The justice system not only failed to find his murderer, but also stole 16 years of an innocent woman's life. Join me as I explain how a young 18-year-old girl named Kirstin Blaise Lobato got caught up in a Las Vegas murder and how she was exonerated after serving 16 years.

  6. Interview with Tahjmere Hopkins' Father

    09/25/2020

    Interview with Tahjmere Hopkins' Father

    This interview was a direct response to the Episode on Tahjmere Hopkins' case that Crime Noir and Modern Murders covered in July 2020. Candice from Crime Noir led this interview with Mr. Hopkins while Ariel was present on the call. We learned a lot from this interview and Mr. Hopkins corrected some facts we got wrong. The corrected facts: 1) The police did not show Tahjmere's mom his deceased photo. Tahjmere was identified through fingerprints. 2) Tahjmere was not tied to the chair he was found on. He was tied, but not to the chair. This interview is very important because it gets us closer to spreading the word about Tahjmere's case. It is still unsolved and police are not revealing any suspects or leads that the family is aware of. If you have any information about this case, please call Petersburg Dinwiddie Crime Solvers at 804-861-1212. You will remain anonymous and if your tip helps, you could receive a cash reward of up to $1000.

    The Familicide of Nehemiah Griego

    Nehemiah Griego was your average teen boy who has friends, a girlfriend, and a large tight-knit family. Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Griego family lived in a large house on an even larger property where they could homeschool their kids and welcome in church members. Nehemiah aspired to be like his father, Greg, who rose above and beyond his past while serving first in the military and then in his church. Most of the kids had grown up and moved out of the house, but Nehemiah (15), Zephaniah (9), Jael (5), and Angelina (2) were still living at home with their parents. On January 18, 2013 Greg was working overnight while Sarah watched over the kids. Nehemiah and his mom, Sarah, got into a heated argument and she sent him to bed early. Something set off Nehemiah and he proceeded to kill his family one by one, including his younger siblings. Fast forward to 2019 and the question of whether Nehemiah can be released on his 21st birthday is finally answered.
