Episode 44- The Hummel Family Murders

On December 17, 2009, a 911 call came into the Kennedale, Texas, police about a burning house. Inside the house, three people were found dead. A pregnant mother named Joy Hummel, a 5-year-old girl named Jodi, and Joy's father Clyde. The only survivor was Joy's husband John, who said he had just returned home to find his house on fire.  John was later arrested, and sentenced to death for the murders of his family. He was executed in June 2021.  Sources:  Signs of A Psychopath- Season 1 episode 8 'Now They Lay Me Down to Sleep'  https://apnews.com/article/texas-executions-health-coronavirus-pandemic-a29f0ea201e8ebf3a22ec79974dc4d11 https://www.texastribune.org/2021/06/30/texas-execution-john-hummel/ https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-man-faces-execution-after-killing-3-family-members/2669320/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/covid-19-stay-execution-halted-man-killed-family-69630062 https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article252489933.html  https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/texas-to-execute-john-hummel-former-marine-with-service-related-trauma-whose-trial-lawyer-now-works-for-prosecutor-who-is-trying-to-execute-him  https://www.newsweek.com/who-john-hummel-texas-inmate-faces-execution-after-killing-pregnant-wife-daughter-1605423 Subscribe to my blog: https://kileystruecrime.squarespace.com  Follow me on Instagram: @itscrimeoclocksomewhereblogpod Join my Patreon: Patreon.com/itscrimeoclocksomewhereblogpod Buy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/itscrimeoclocksomewhereblogpod Leave me a 5-star review or rating!
