from Crime House 24/7 · host Crime House

Welcome to Crime House 24/7. Vanessa Richardson brings you the latest breaking true crime stories. Twenty-five years after University of Georgia law student Tara Baker was found strangled and her apartment set on fire, the long-awaited murder trial against Edrick Faust is back underway in Athens, as jurors hear critical DNA and fire forensics testimony in a case that went cold for decades. We then head to Memphis, where a federal jury has convicted the final two members of the Unknown Vice Lords in a racketeering murder tied to a violent chain of events. In Virginia, Brazilian au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães receives the maximum sentence in the shocking “Au Pair Affair” double-murder plot, despite a plea deal recommending leniency. And in Houston, the ex-wife of NASA astronaut Anne McClain is sentenced to prison for making false accusations that once sparked global headlines about the first alleged crime committed in space.
