    S8:E8: The Senseless Murder of Mariah Samuels (34) “Unheard Cries”

    Minneapolis, MN— 34-year-old Mariah Samuels was a devoted mother to two sons and a beloved pet groomer. She was a woman trying to rebuild her life, protect her peace, and keep her children safe— even while living under the constant shadow of fear. Mariah did what many women are told to do: she spoke up, she asked for help, she documented the danger. And yet, she was failed by the very system meant to protect her. Who later claimed that Mariah wasn't "afraid enough."  The tragic murder of Mariah Samuels was not a sudden event, but the devastating conclusion of a foreseeable pattern. Her story is one of fatal control, ignored warnings, and a system that met escalating violence with silence.  Listen to Season 8: Episode 8 to find out how this horrific case unfolds.  Rest in Peace - Mariah Samuels 🕊️🙏 and our deepest condolences to her family, friends and community.  If you suspect domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or go to thehotline.org.

    S8:E3: Part 2: The Senseless Murder of Pastor Brodes Perry (36) "You Broke My Heart"

    ⚠️This episode contains descriptions of suicide.  Listener Discretion is advised. Collierville, TN–36-year-old Brodes Perry, was a respected spiritual leader known for his deep faith, generosity, and community impact. On April 11, 2019, Perry’s life was cut short by a deadly obsession, sending shockwaves throughout his congregation and community.  Pastor Perry was killed by LaToshia Daniels, a woman he knew intimately and had a two-year affair with.  Daniels, consumed by unrequited affection, jealousy, and an escalating fixation, crossed state lines to confront Perry and his wife.  The violent attack was the culmination of a descent into control, delusion, and emotional unraveling. In Part Two of this deeply unsettling case, we go inside the courtroom, where emotions ran high and long-guarded truths finally surfaced. The spotlight shifts to Brodes Perry’s wife - Tabatha Perry, whose testimony became the emotional anchor of the trial. In her own steady yet shaken voice, Tabatha walked the jury through the complicated reality of her marriage—revealing the private conversations she and Pastor Brodes Perry had about ethical non-monogamy, transparency, and boundaries that were intended to protect their relationship, not destroy it. As the prosecution laid out its evidence, a stark contrast emerged between ethical non-monogamy, rooted in consent and communication, and LaToshia Daniels’ actions, rooted in obsession, entitlement, and emotional volatility.  Then came the shocking revelation - a part of Pastor Perry’s life revealed - in his own words, played out for the world to hear.  The Jury deliberated for only two hours –and when they returned with a verdict– The room fell silent. This ruling served as a declaration that a man's openness can never justify taking a life. Listen to Season 2: Episode 3: Part 2 to find out the shocking outcome of this case.  Rest in Peace Pastor Brodes Perry and our sincerest condolences to this family and community. 🙏 Instagram: senseless_truecrimepodcast  Facebook: Senseless True Crime Podcast Buymeacoffee.com/senselesstruecrim Content Disclaimer: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
