90. The Murder of Sierah Joughin

As our listeners who are in Canada would know, one of the things that is on the minds of many people who are into true crime, in this country especially lately, is the way that criminals are treated when in prison and the ways that they are sometimes seemingly lost in the system when they get out.  In Canada we have recently had Paul Bernardo, a convicted serial killer and serial rapist, moved from maximum security prison to medium security prison because it was deemed as the logical next step according to what the goals are of the prison system in this country.  We also have had the very recent case of a convicted sex offender and trafficker who was found to have been living on his wife’s property where she also ran a camp for children on the autism spectrum after he served his time and seemingly stopped facing as many checks and balances.  Heck, we even had Karla Homolka years ago found to be working with a daycare because she was given an assumed name and a new life.  This week we are going to look at the American equivalent, from within Ohio.  In 2016 a vibrant 20-year-old woman was murdered by someone who had previously served only three years of a sentence for a previous, and similar crime.  We are going to look at changes that happened far too late for the woman at the centre of our story and far too late to stop a monster from committing an eerily similar crime for a second time.  GBNF on Patreon GBNF on Facebook GBNF on X GBNF on Instagram GBNF on YouTube GBNF on TikTok Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher Music
