    The Murder of Marisol Galindo Rico

    This week we're covering another case of domestic violence homicide, and again, there was a temporary protective order in place. This one took place more than a decade after our last episode, with a very similar set of facts.  Reno claims that there has been progress made on protecting victims. Is that the case? https://sinspod.co/142 https://sinspod.co/142transcript https://sinspod.co/142sources Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.

    This week we're talking about another case where a TPO was in place, but a woman was murdered despite that. One begins to wonder if we've made any progress at all in the time from 1999 to 2011 between our two most recent very similar cases. Listen now for the behind the scenes discussion.

    The Murder of Donna Hernandez

    Seven protective orders. Years of threats. Donna Hernandez kept asking for help. On October 6, 1999, the 38-year-old Las Vegas mother was murdered by her ex-husband, Fernando Hernandez, leaving their three-year-old daughter, Ana, without her mother. In this episode of Sins & Survivors, Shaun and John follow Donna’s documented pleas for protection, the opportunities to intervene, and the trial that sent Fernando to death row. They also explore the decades of legal challenges that followed—and Donna’s House, a program created in her memory to help families navigate visitation and custody exchanges safely. Because what happens here happens everywhere. https://sinspod.co/141 https://sinspod.co/141transcript https://sinspod.co/141sources Donna’s House Central—official information and forms Phone: 702-455-4229Email: DHC@clarkcountycourts.usLocation: 601 North Pecos Road, Building B, Las Vegas, NV 89101Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Forms and orientation materials are available in English and Spanish.Online Directory Supervised Visitation Network—Find a Provider (https://www.svnworldwide.org/search-for-an-sv-provider) Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.

    Advocacy Con 2026

    This week we're talking to Eric Carter-Landin and Whitney St Andre, two of the founders behind the Advocacy Conference (Advocacy Con for short), now in its second year! Shaun and I attended last year, and what a great event.  Unlike some of the other conferences out there (that are more "conventions"), Advocacy Con is focused on the families of missing and murdered people who are seeking resources to help them get justice for their loved ones.  If you can make it to Albuquerque September 11th-13th, definitely consider attending! We'll be there and look forward to a great weekend of advocacy. https://sinspod.co/139 https://sinspod.co/139transcript Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.
