Jocelyn Earnest - Mountain Murders

What this episode covers

In December 2007, 38-year-old Jocelyn Earnest was found dead inside her Forest, Virginia home. A suicide note was found on the floor near the body, but something about the scene felt suspect from the start. As investigators dug deeper, they found a tangled web of secrets, a contentious divorce, and an estranged husband with mounting financial troubles. Join Mountain Murders as we discuss how a staged suicide turned into a homicide investigation, the chilling behavior of Wesley Earnest, and the trial that finally exposed the truth.
