Workplace Suicides & the Murder Kroger Case

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, your host on Pushing Up Lilies. This week, I’m diving into a tough but important topic—suicides at work. As a death investigator, I’ve responded to countless cases where people take their own lives while on the job, and the impact on coworkers and families is heartbreaking. We’ll talk about the signs, the struggles, and the aftermath of these tragic losses. I’m also covering a chilling case out of Denton, Texas, where Jeffrey McBride is accused of shooting and killing Eddie Joe Gonzales, a 51-year-old homeless man, at a grocery store locals have eerily nicknamed the Murder Kroger. What led to this senseless act of violence, and why does this location have such a dark reputation? Join me as I unpack the details, the investigation, and the unsettling realities of violent crime in everyday places. * Listener discretion is advised.
