    The Murder of Daniel Mendoza - Part 1

    When you think about drive-by shootings, you probably picture gang violence or scenes from a movie. You don’t picture the police as the perpetrators. Surely those who protect and serve would never do such a thing, right? But on a December night in 1996, 21-year-old Daniel Mendoza was gunned down in his own driveway—not by rivals, but by off-duty Las Vegas Metro cops who were drunk and out looking for “fun.” This week is the first of a multi-part series on the shocking murder of Daniel Mendoza https://sinspod.co/129 https://sinspod.co/129transcript https://sinspod.co/129sources Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.

    The Champ Nobody Wanted - The Tragedy of Sonny Liston

    Sonny Liston was one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, but his death in Las Vegas has never felt as simple as the official explanation. The coroner said natural causes... but was it? His life and boxing career are the stuff of legend. Liston had giant fists, an almost impossible reach, shocking athleticism, and what one writer described as “the ability to take a punch that would stagger a water buffalo.” But behind the myth was a man shaped by poverty, violence, prison, racism, exploitation, and a public that seemed to fear him even when he became champion. In this episode, we look at the rise and fall of Charles “Sonny” Liston: from rural Arkansas to a Missouri State Penitentiary, from heavyweight glory to the controversial Ali fights, and finally to the mystery that still surrounds his death. Listen now to hear Sonny’s tragic story, and subscribe to get the episode ad-free, plus our Swing Shift bonus episode where we discuss the making of this one. https://sinspod.co/128 https://sinspod.co/128sources Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.

    In this swing shift, we're chatting about the making of this episode. This one took a while. When researching it I quickly realized that I was going to have to read a couple of biographies to get a good sense of Sonny, and I hope that came through.

    What Happens When The System Fails (Flashback)

    "It does not meet statutory requirements.” 💔 Ten years ago, those five words sealed the fate of Phoukeo Dej-Oudom and her three beautiful children, Anhurak, Xonajuk, and Dalavanh. Phoukeo did everything right. She begged the Las Vegas Family Court for help. She explicitly told a domestic violence hearing master that her husband had pointed guns at their heads. She filed for divorce. Her emergency Temporary Protection Order (TPO) was denied anyway. Weeks later, a preventable tragedy shook the Las Vegas valley. As we mark the 10-year anniversary of this heartbreaking case, we aren’t just looking back to retell a tragedy—we are looking at what has (and hasn't) changed. Why does the Clark County justice system still fall short of protecting vulnerable families? What happens when a piece of paper is treated like a bureaucratic hurdle instead of a lifeline? In this week’s episode, we center Phoukeo’s voice, expose the gaps in the family court network, and look at the ongoing fight for systemic reform in Nevada. https://sinspod.co/127 https://sinspod.co/127sources https://sinspod.co/127transcript Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.
