from Suspects & Spirits · host Taylor Serafin

Alright True Crime Coven, it’s time. Today we dive into Part 2 of The Suitcase Murder. Investigators begin to close in as new evidence, strange explanations, and unanswered questions collide. We get into the trial, the testimony, and even body language analysis, as the prosecution builds a case they believe is strong enough for a conviction. But the defense? They argue the gaps are too big to ignore. And years later, the debate is far from over. Was justice served? Or did this case leave too much room for doubt? It’s time to unpack all the theories.Got a story to tell? Send it in for the next episode of Boo's [email protected] help spread the word!
