A Classic Whodunit: Sweet Sandra Turns #1 Suspect in the Murder of Jon Garner

We’re back this week with yet another Texas case, and in this episode, Tabitha and Gretchen break down the murder of Jon Garner and the mysterious role his wife Sandra and her son played. Though Jon was Sandra’s third husband, these two were certainly in love, and they spent 18 years together. “They got married in Vegas – like me and my ice machine-loving husband.” – Gretchen (12:36) To celebrate their anniversary, Jon and Sandra went out for a night on the town, but things went awry when Sandra was awoken that same night by a masked intruder. After stealing their money and claiming that Jon was his boss, the intruder shot Sandra’s poor husband, leaving him dying in their home. At least, that’s the story she told the police…When the investigation began, Sandra’s son Wes became exceptionally cooperative with the police. So cooperative, in fact, that he threw his mother under the bus and told authorities that he believed she was the murderer and where they might find the gun that wasn’t accounted for. Between this information, her son’s suspicions, and an incriminating article in her search history, things were not looking good for Sandra. “I think I found this very article, and I’m not gonna give you all the tips because it will make Tab coo coo for cocoa puffs.” – Gretchen (22:00)As prosecutors focused on her involvement, rumblings about her son Wes began to circulate because he seemed to know a bit too much about the whole situation…You don’t want to miss out as Gretch and Tab unpack their theories surrounding the case’s conclusion and who they think should’ve ended up in the clink in this classic whodunit! In This Episode(0:47) Tab & Gretch talk kiddos, Kohls, and Christmas shopping (8:29) We’re back in Texas for this week’s case (15:02) The night poor Jon was murdered (18:59) Maypearl police begin the investigation and Sandra’s son offers a shocking suspicion (28:18) Things escalate after Sandra is brought in for a second interrogation and the trial begins two years later(37:20) Wes’ motivation is uncovered as he moves into the suspect spotlight(39:01) Sandra takes the stand, is found not guilty, and moves forward with her life(42:52) Who really did it? Resources & LinksHWTC ContentWebsite: https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6PzwTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrimeThis Week’s Promotions:https://www.talkspace.com/ - Use code "housewives" to get $100 USD in your first month Our Sponsors:* Check out Acorns and use my code acorns.com/clink for a great deal: https://www.acorns.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
