Ep 25 - A Dangerous Game: The Murder of Breck Bednar
<p>Caterham, England. February 17, 2014. Lorin LaFave was at a loss. Her 14-year-old son, Breck, hadn't been himself for a while. It all began when he joined an online gaming club, headed by Lewis Daynes, an 18-year-old unemployed computer engineer. Daynes's influence on Breck was powerful - he began skipping activities he once enjoyed, he isolated himself from his family and friends, he was constantly irritated and argumentative.</p><p>Lorin did everything she could to put an end to the friendship. She installed parental controls on their home computers and tried to ban Breck from using Daynes's server. She even called the police, fearing that Breck was being groomed by Daynes. But her efforts were in vain.</p><p>Those who had the power to help Breck failed to do so, and the consequences were devastating.</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkmurderwithme/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">@talkmurderwithme</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/talkmurrderwithme/" rel="nofollow">@talkmurrderwithme</a></p><p>Support me by <a href="http://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkmurder" rel="nofollow">buying me a coffee</a> ☕</p><p>Learn more about what <a href="https://www.breckfoundation.org/" rel="nofollow">The Breck Foundation</a> is doing to keep young people safe online.</p><p>You can find sources for this episode <a href="http://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2020/6/3/breck-bednar" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p>Music from <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/atmospheric" rel="nofollow">Purple Planet Music</a></p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations'>https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Ep 24 - Riley Whitelaw: The Walgreens Murder
<p>Colorado Springs, Colorado. June 11, 2022. 17-year-old Riley Whitelaw reported her 28-year-old coworker, Joshua Johnson, to her manager at Walgreens. Johnson had been making advances unwanted towards Riley, which were making her seriously uncomfortable at work. This wasn't the first time she had made a report about him either.</p><p>She asked for her schedule to be changed so that she would no longer have to work with Johnson. But when she asked for extra hours, her manager told her that this would mean crossing paths with Johnson.</p><p>Three weeks later, she was found murdered in the break room at work.</p><p>This case is currently ongoing. Joshua Johnson had a preliminary hearing on September 16, in which detectives working the case testified that no one other than Johnson could be responsible for Riley's murder.</p><p>A judge ruled the evidence given at the hearing sufficient for Johnson to go to trial. His arraignment is scheduled for Nov 15, where he will plead guilty or not guilty.</p><p>I'll post any updates on my Instagram.</p><p><a href="https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2022/8/31/riley-whitelaw-murder" rel="nofollow">The Murder of Riley Whitelaw</a> (my blog post on this case)</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkmurderwithme/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">@talkmurderwithme</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/talkmurrderwithme/" rel="nofollow">@talkmurrderwithme</a></p><p>Support me by <a href="http://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkmurder" rel="nofollow">buying me a coffee</a> ☕</p><p><strong>Sources</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-memory-riley?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer" rel="nofollow">GoFundMe Page - In Loving Memory - Riley </a></p><p><a href="https://obits.gazette.com/us/obituaries/gazette/name/riley-whitelaw-obituary?_ga=2.831665.1410255445.1661762832-1179648106.1661762830&id=35273668" rel="nofollow">Riley Whitelaw Obituary</a></p><p><a href="https://www.koaa.com/news/crime/preliminary-hearing-for-suspect-in-colorado-springs-walgreens-homicide" rel="nofollow">Preliminary hearing for suspect in Colorado Springs Walgreens homicide</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kktv.com/2022/06/12/large-police-presence-colorado-springs-walgreens-saturday-night/" rel="nofollow">Arrest papers: Teen found dead at Colorado Springs Walgreens allegedly had concerns about suspect since last year</a></p><p><a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2022/06/15/joshua-johnson-murder-suspect-colorado-springs/" rel="nofollow">Teenage Walgreens employee in Colorado Springs reported coworker before she was found dead in breakroom</a></p><p><a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adeonibada/walgreens-employee-killed-coworker-rejected" rel="nofollow">A Walgreens Employee Was Accused Of Killing A Teenage Coworker Who Had Rejected His Advances</a></p><p><a href="https://krdo.com/news/2022/06/14/victim-identified-in-death-investigation-at-colorado-springs-walgreens-2/" rel="nofollow">Docs: Teen asked not to work with coworker facing charges for her murder at Walgreens</a></p><p><a href="https://gazette.com/news/courts/joshua-johnson-charged-with-first-degree-murder-in-killing-of-teen-co-worker-at-walgreens/article_cfcf7b02-f176-11ec-a054-0bc5090ee798.html" rel="nofollow">Joshua Johnson charged with first-degree murder in killing of teen co-worker at Walgreens</a></p><p><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/there-was-blood-everywhere-walgreens-employee-charged-with-killing-teen-co-worker-who-told-management-his-advances-made-her-uncomfortable/" rel="nofollow">‘There Was Blood Everywhere’: Walgreens Employee Charged with Killing Teen Co-Worker Who Told Management His ‘Advances’ Made Her ‘Uncomfortable’</a></p><p><a href="https://gazette.com/news/local/riley-whitelaw-funeral-service-scheduled-in-colorado-springs/article_cef8ad58-f1a2-11ec-8001-3f6fe80d0457.html" rel="nofollow">Riley Whitelaw funeral service scheduled in Colorado Springs</a></p><p><a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2022/08/25/walgreens-stabbing-colorado-springs-riley-whitelaw/" rel="nofollow">Teen employee killed inside Walgreens in Colorado Springs was stabbed more than 40 times</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kktv.com/2022/08/24/autopsy-report-reveals-horrific-new-information-murder-teen-colorado-springs-walgreens/" rel="nofollow">Autopsy report reveals horrific new information on murder of teen at Colorado Springs Walgreens</a></p><p><a href="https://krdo.com/news/top-stories/2022/08/23/labor-attorney-raises-concerns-about-handling-of-complaint-before-murder/" rel="nofollow">Labor attorney raises concerns about handling of complaint before murder at Colorado Springs Walgreens</a></p><p><a href="https://www.koaa.com/news/crime/labor-attorney-weighs-in-on-girl-allegedly-murdered-by-coworker-in-colorado-springs-walgreens" rel="nofollow">Labor attorney weighs in on girl allegedly murdered by coworker in Colorado Springs Walgreens</a></p><p><a href="https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/joshua-johnson-allegedly-killed-riley-whitelaw-rejection" rel="nofollow">Man Allegedly Killed Teen Walgreens Coworker Who'd Rejected His Advances</a></p><p>Music from <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/atmospheric" rel="nofollow">Purple Planet Music</a></p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations'>https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Ep 23 - Terror in Suburbia: The Cheshire Murders
<p>Cheshire, Connecticut. July 23, 2007. Cheshire has pretty much everything you'd want if you were looking for a quiet, peaceful place to raise a family. The houses are spacious, the lawns are well-manicured and leafy trees line the streets. But what's most attractive about Cheshire is that it's safe. At least, that's what Bill and Jennifer Petit thought - it seemed like the perfect place to raise their two daughters, Hayley and Michaela. And it was, until one night in late July 2007 when all hell broke loose. What Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes insisted was only going to be a home burglary, escalated into a frenzy of violence and ultimately, murder. What spurred the two men to carry out such heinous acts? And could the police have done more to stop them?</p><p><a href="https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2019/5/1/cheshire-home-invasion-murders" rel="nofollow">The Cheshire Home Invasion Murders</a> (my blog post on this case)</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkmurderwithme/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">@talkmurderwithme</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/talkmurrderwithme/" rel="nofollow">@talkmurrderwithme</a></p><p>Support me by <a href="http://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkmurder" rel="nofollow">buying me a coffee</a> ☕</p><p><strong>Sources for this episode:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29DPtCgRVUo" rel="nofollow">The Cheshire Murders Documentary</a></p><p><a href="https://www.insideedition.com/headlines/1311-connecticut-murder-suspects-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out" rel="nofollow">Connecticut Murder Suspect’s Ex-girlfriend Speaks Out</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Sister-of-Komisarjevsky-Girlfriend-Testifies-16885329.php" rel="nofollow">Sister of Komisarjevsky Girlfriend Testifies about Concern Over Relationship</a></p><p><a href="https://patch.com/connecticut/northhaven/komisarjevsky-s-religious-upbringing-detailed-in-court-21822b9e" rel="nofollow">Komisarjevsky’s Religious Upbringing Detailed in Court</a></p><p><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2011/09/19/justice/connecticut-home-invasion-accused/index.html" rel="nofollow">Petit murder suspect had long, troubled history of drugs, crime</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/29/nyregion/29cheshire.html" rel="nofollow">Two Portraits of Triple Killer, Offered to Jurors, Are at Odds</a></p><p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-homeinvasion-connecticut-idUSTRE78I6KR20110919" rel="nofollow">Defense in Connecticut home invasion case aims to shift blame</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nhregister.com/connecticut/article/Steven-Hayes-once-on-death-row-for-Cheshire-11331738.php" rel="nofollow">Steven Hayes, once on death row for Cheshire triple killing, resentenced to 6 life terms in prison</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nhregister.com/connecticut/article/Joshua-Komisarjevsky-convicted-in-Cheshire-11312020.php" rel="nofollow">Joshua Komisarjevsky, convicted in Cheshire triple killing, seeks a new trial</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nhregister.com/connecticut/article/CT-Supreme-Court-hears-Cheshire-killer-14542277.php" rel="nofollow">CT Supreme Court hears Cheshire killer Komisarjevsky’s argument for new trial</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nhregister.com/connecticut/article/Steven-Hayes-from-Death-Row-I-just-snapped-11397437.php" rel="nofollow">Steven Hayes from Death Row: ‘I just snapped’ at scene of Cheshire home invasion</a></p><p><a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/jtes/revisiting-the-grisly-cheshire-murders" rel="nofollow">Revisiting The Grisly Cheshire Murders</a></p><p><a href="https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a10035/william-petit-case-0611/" rel="nofollow">The Survivor</a></p><p><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/connecticut-town-finds-hope-healing-10-years-gruesome/story?id=48708022" rel="nofollow">Connecticut town finds hope, healing 10 years after gruesome Petit family murders</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/steven-hayes-cheshire-transgender.html" rel="nofollow">Connecticut Home Invasion Convict Is Undergoing Gender Transition in Prison</a></p><p><a href="http://www.petitfamilyfoundation.org/" rel="nofollow">The Petit Family Foundation</a></p><p>Music from <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/atmospheric" rel="nofollow">Purple Planet Music</a></p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations'>https://redcircle.com/talk-murder-with-me/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
