Gregg Wendorf's True Crime Gregg B. Wendorf

For a short time, until the Irene Garza book is written, with its intended publishing date of late November 2023, this podcast will be put on hold. Trying to write a book takes enough time, which means there is very little time left to record a daily podcast. Catch you in early December 2023 after the book is up for sale at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

More testimony today from the former TV reporter who was called to the Hidalgo County DA's office to hear that the state had the murderer in hand, but the murderer, a warped Catholic priest, was going to get off scott free, no charge of murder, as long as he copped to a misdemeanor case involving another assault on a local young woman.

Imagine a day when the DA could call all the local media together -- between eight and 10 reporters -- and tell them that he was going to reveal who the murderer was? Then he did, and nothing happened. The priest got away.

In this True-Crime Podcast, the lead defense attorney for the former Catholic priest accused of murder, John Feit, makes the case as to why the accused is innocent of murder.

It's 1960, Hidalgo County is far different than the metropolis it has become in so many ways. Question is, how did it get so corrupt that it could knowingly let a murderer walk free?

In 1960, a Catholic priest in McAllen, Texas, John Feit, took time away from the confessional to abduct and later rape and murder a beautiful 25-year-old teacher, Irene Garza, who had gone to church the night before Easter to confess her sins and attend Mass. She was never seen alive again. This episode begins our story.
