from True Crime Garage · host True Crime Garage, Nic Edwards

Julie Popovich /// Part 2 /// 948 Part 2 of 2    www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The case of Julie Popovich remains a haunting chapter in central Ohio’s criminal history. The murder shocked the region  and some believe that the case continues to raise difficult questions about justice, public records, and the rights of people who claim they were wrongfully convicted.  Julie Popovich was an aspiring young model from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Her death in 2005 drew widespread attention, not only because of the brutality and sadness surrounding the crime, but also because of the young life that had been cut short. In the years that followed, prosecutors built a case against Adam Saleh, who was accused, tried, and ultimately convicted of Popovich’s murder and kidnapping. Using the trial transcripts we present to you a case that is still much talked about in central Ohio still to this day. From behind bars, however, Adam Saleh continues to maintain that he is innocent. Saleh turned to the Ohio Innocence Project, a group based at the University of Cincinnati College of Law that investigates claims of wrongful conviction.   Beer of the Week - Harbor Lager by Harbor Brewing Company  Garage Grade - 4 out of 5 bottle caps    More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.  Catch dozens of episodes of Off The Record plus a couple of Bonus episodes and our first 50 when you sign up today.    True Crime Garage merchandise is available on our website’s store page.     Follow the show on X and Insta @TrueCrimeGarage / Follow Nic on X @TCGNIC / Follow The Captain on X @TCGCaptain    Thanks for listening and thanks for telling a friend.  Be good, be kind, and don’t litter!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
