   E7. How did NOONE catch her stealing life threatening drugs? /Christina Marie Riggs

   The emotion flowing through this episode is penetrable right into your soul and they are not one I like to discuss but it needs to be heard. It sickens me that at initial arrest, Christina mentions a mental illness which we are not dismissing by any means, but damn, it’s tough to understand how a ‘loving’ caregiver can just act so heinous to HER small humans where unconditional love is meant to be had. The suppression of statement, sure speaks volumes.

   E6. How did Bad Check Barfield get Lethally Injected? / Velma Barfield

   With a conviction of ONE of SIX of the innocently beautiful humans that Velma Barfield conspired against to take their lives, all in the name of a 'severe stomach illness' that just so happened to be going around. As the first woman who was executed by lethal injection- it’s unfortunate that she was hired to care for the elderly time and time again w/no suspicion or autopsy.

   E5. How did 10 Men Marry a woman like Ma? / Elizabeth Ann ‘Ma’ Duncan

   Ten men married a woman who conspired to unalive her darling daughter in law and honestly, hired two men to do it to leave her son, just because she was incestually obsessed with her son. As if these details are not disturbing enough, she had two grown men do it for her and then proceeded to act like she had no intention to be included in the scheme. Duncan, Moya & Baldonado - the last triple execution in California come together to tell a tale of the unfortunate end of sweet & saintly Olga. There is always more to the story, listen now.

   E3. #UnHappyHour: Just when we think you've got it figured out, there's more with the Idaho 4 Murders...

   TW/ subjects of murder, potential stalking, crime scenes, basically nothing that is nice to hear. Please note that we are amateur sleuths with ideas and theories based on the literature that is out in the world about this case, these are our own opinions and theories and should not be taken as word. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, thankfully we leave all of it to the professionals. This is the first episode of the #happyhour style podcast that I am bringing to you each month to chat different ideas and theories of current and past cases with my friends. This week I am joined with my gals Amanda and Jess to theorize about the Idaho 4 Murders based in Moscow, Idaho on 11/13/2022 and the alleged suspect Bryan Kohberger. Here are some of the questions that we have and discuss (timestamps will be on social media and/or edited here): What took so long for an arrest? What was Bryan Kohberger's alleged motive for the murders? Do you think its a Single White Male stalking situation? What is the connection between Bryan and those students? Is it a true vegan? Does his emotional maturity coming into play? Is there more than one suspect out there with no arrest? Does his knowledge of Criminology come into play? Has he done something of this nature before? What is with his public defender? Does Narcissism come into play, Why is it always so Stoic? Is there enough evidence to convict him? Thank you so much for listening to our thoughts and theories on this case and if you'd like to be included in next month's #unhappyhour, please message me on socials @saloonsleuths or email me at saloonsleuths@gmail.com Today's resources: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rggtFxBYUcw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3kydRofKk, Audioboom: https://audioboom.com/posts/8254269-how-to-survive-a-sociopath-survivingasociopath-can-a-sociopath-ever-change-survivingasociopat, Hulu 20/20 via facebook episode: https://www.facebook.com/ABC2020/videos/912662523235945/, Weekly Reddit Discussion threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/BryanKohberger/

   E1. The Black Widow of Westlake, Texas: Celeste Beard- What are We? Friends, Lovers, or Neither?

   TW: suicide, deceat, manipulation, trauma bonding, murder, 911 calls All alleged theories are mine and Thank you for Murderpedia for the plethora of details in this case and for Channel 4 Documentaries for the audio Celeste Beard Johnson--> In 1997, 32-year-old Celeste Beard hit the jackpot. That year, the thrice-divorced Austin housekeeper married her 75-year-old millionaire employer, Steven Beard. Suddenly, Celeste had it all: a Texas mansion, plenty of money, and a stable life for her two daughters. But on October 2, 1999, Celeste's picture-perfect life came crashing down with one blast from a 20-gauge shotgun. That night, an armed intruder slipped into Steven's bedroom and fired a point-blank shot directly into his chest. Steven survived the initial shot, but five months later, died from complications related to his injury. By then, however, Texas authorities had a suspect in custody - Celeste's lesbian best friend, Tracey Tarlton. The former bookstore manager eventually implicated Celeste in the plot to kill her husband. At the trial, defense attorneys alleged Tarlton was simply a jealous woman with a terrifying and deadly love interest in Celeste. Prosecutors, on the other hand, claimed that Celeste had manipulated her friend into perpetrating the shooting in order to inherit Steven's vast fortune. To support their claim, prosecutors even called Celeste's own daughters to the stand. Both girls testified that their mother had sought a hit man to silence Tracey before her arrest. The jury found Celeste guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced her to 20 years in prison. Classification: Murderer Characteristics: To inherit Number of victims: 1 Date of murder: October 2, 1999 Date of arrest: March 28, 2002 Date of birth: February 13, 1963 Victim profile: Steven Beard, 75 (her millionaire husband) Method of murder: Shooting (20-gauge shotgun) Location: Austin, Texas, USA Status: Sentenced to life in prison, serving at least 40 years, in 2004 Today's Resources: Murderpedia: https://murderpedia.org/female.B/b/beard-celeste.htm (https://murderpedia.org/female.B/b/beard-celeste.htm) Trial and 911 Audio clips from Channel 4 Documentarties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAqTBvbNnNM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAqTBvbNnNM)
