02. She Kinda Looks Like Your Wife
To truly understand Jamie Osuna and his history of violence, you have to understand how he was caught for the 2011 murder of Yvette Pena. You see, there was a woman who was victimized by Osuna long before he murdered Pena, and long after. That woman would ultimately help put him behind bars. Before all this, she played another significant role in his life. She was his wife and mother of his child.

03. The Devil Doesn’t Get Hurt
Nature versus Nurture. From armchair true crime enthusiasts to leading psychology experts, the debate has raged for centuries. Which makes a person commit heinous acts of violence?

04. She Was My Protector

05. Why So Serious?
In 2017, a rookie reporter sent a jailhouse interview request to a man accused of murder. She expected the usual "No" reply. Instead, the reply was a yes. It would be the first in a series of shocking responses that rookie reporter would get from Jamie Osuna. This is the last time Jamie Osuna has talked to the press, and the first time portions of the interview have ever been shared with the public.

Oof
Really well done and a really tough listen.
Terrible work and a crazy reporter
The reporter sounds like a crazy fruitcake throughout the whole podcast. She talks too much about herself and how she feels in every episode, as if she wanted to be the center of attention.
The podcast is poorly written and poorly investigated. In one episode it quotes the unnamed "sister" repeating an unverified hearsay quote of her unnamed brother inmate for his opinion on the case. How is that even reporting? Other stuff doesn't add up. For example, the crazy ex-wife implied she was too frightened to even be in contact with or near Osuna and later she tells the reporter things he supposedly said about the reporter. This doesn't make sense if they weren't talking or weren't in contact as was implied earlier in the podcast. The reporter doesn't even comment on it. Also weird is the Billy the inmate interview when he talks about getting a transfer. So, he exchanged a transfer for doing the interview and then he just drops the crazy, nitwit reporter after he gets his transfer? Nothing he said in the interview was verified, corroborated or followed up on? How is that good reporting?
It feels like the reporter Olivia LaVoice sensationalized the whole story. It also feels like Olivia LaVoice took advantage of victim's family, and Osuna's family just to sell her podcast.
Excellent job
I live in Bakersfield. We have a lot of gang violence. There are always murders reported on our local news. But Jaime Osuma is really scary. This reporter does an excellent job with this podcast.
