1982 - Florida, Massachusetts. On a rainy Saturday evening in April 1982, 18-year-old Lynn Burdick was working alone at the Barefoot Peddlar, a small country store in the Berkshires. By the end of her shift, she had vanished—along with the cash in the register. Known for her reliability, Lynn’s disappearance immediately raised alarms. Less than an hour before she went missing, just over 10 miles away at Williams College, a man attempted to kidnap a student in his car. Investigators couldn't help but question whether the two events were connected.  Though decades have passed without answers, there is renewed hope that someone will finally come forward with the key to bringing Lynn home. If you have information on the disappearance of Lynn Burdick, please contact the Berkshire State Police Detective Unit at 413-499-1112 or submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.

1951 - Brunswick, Maine. Police heard the woman’s screams before they even reached the door.  They were responding to a late night break-in at the apartment of 56-year-old Lancelot Cooper, a prominent figure in the community. When they stepped inside, they found his wife, 45-year-old Eva Cooper, nude on the living room floor with a scarf over her head and her hands bound behind her back. Inside the bedroom, they found a bloody and violent scene.  It was clear from the attack that somebody wanted Lance dead, and as the details of that frigid January night became clearer to police, an obvious suspect emerged into focus.  Episode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/lancelot-cooper Support the show: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Visit the Pejepscot History Center: https://pejepscothistorical.org Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold Facebook: /mstpodcast Website: murdershetold.com ----- Sponsors: OneSkin: Get 15% off your order at https://www.oneskin.co with the code SHETOLD  BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/shetold Learn more about your ad choices.

1989 - Dunbarton, New Hampshire.  In November of 1989, 14-year-old Sonya Moore disappeared.  At first, her mother thought it was typical Sonya behavior. After all, the teenager had a habit of staying out late and skipping school. But when Sonya missed an important appointment, the pit in her stomach began to grow. Despite her daughter’s independence, she always knew where Sonya was. As days turned into weeks, Sonya’s friends held onto the hope that she was somewhere warm, chasing her dream of becoming a model. But deep down, they knew something was wrong. Sonya wouldn’t just vanish without telling someone. Then, in the spring, a badly decomposed body was discovered in Stark Pond. The girl was wearing an arrowhead necklace and a Hampton Beach shirt—just like the ones Sonya Moore was last seen wearing.

Henry was a good kid from a good family, who, to this day, still can’t understand why somebody would have done this.  But police are still hopeful the right person will recognize the markings on the bat and come forward with the tip they need to crack this case, no matter how much time has passed.

He wasn’t his usual free-spirited self—lately, he’d been acting more and more paranoid that bad guys were coming after him.  Then, on the cool evening of April 24, 2004, Jeremy suddenly ran into his former teacher’s backyard in a panic, wad of cash in hand. Despite trying to calm him, Jeremy ran off and back into the thick Maine forest, never to be seen again. The truth of what happened that night is just as bizarre and murky as it was in 2004.

1987 - Roxbury, Massachusetts. It was Labor Day weekend in 1987. 19-year-old Dora Brimage was celebrating her friend’s birthday when she got into a car to head to a club called Joe’s Jaguar. She never came home. Her body was found the following morning at a construction site when the workers showed up for their shift. For years, Dora’s case sat unnoticed in a pile of Boston’s unsolved crimes.

1968 - Huntington Beach, California. Anita Piteau dreamed of getting out of Augusta, Maine. As a teenager, she’d been committed to the Maine Industrial School for Girls: a reform school that aimed to turn rebellious, troubled, and misfit girls into promising young women.  When she left the school, Anita was far from reformed. If anything, she was more determined than ever to live her life on her own terms. In December of 1967, Anita packed up and went to California in search of adventure.  But a few months later, her family suddenly stopped hearing from her, and nobody could get in touch. Anita was a free spirit, but she’d never just cut off her family like this.  Did something terrible happen to Anita Piteau? Or was she just caught up in her newfound freedom and life in a new city?

Sometime in the evening hours of October 31, 2010, somebody shot and killed 54-year-old Roberta Miller (who went by Bobbie) and her dog, Sport, in her home in Gilford, NH. According to her brother, it seemed like a personal attack or something professionally done. Bobbie had recently moved into the home after finalizing her divorce—a bitter battle that spanned over 3 years. She was attending college to earn a business degree, going on dates, and was looking forward to an independent future.  Bobbie’s family is frustrated with the lack of updates and progress, and they’re not afraid to speak out.

As the first of nine siblings to pursue college—a goal she worked to finance herself—she had aspirations of becoming a pediatrician.  But on the night of December 5th, 1978, Theresa, who was out celebrating with friends at Franklin's Train Stop bar, didn't return home.

Unsafe Spaces is a serialized podcast from Josh Hallmark (True Crime Bullsh**) that explores crimes that corrupt and exploit the places we’re meant to feel the safest; be it our churches, the gay community, or even our own homes. The first season: Tampa’s Missing Men, focuses on a series of disappearances and murders within Tampa’s gay community, and possibly beyond; and the two gay men who were committing some of Florida’s most heinous crimes with shocking impunity.  Unsafe Spaces is as obsessive and investigative as True Crime Bullsh**, while also focusing on the factors that led to and enabled the crimes, and then helped capture the pair of killers involved. It is as much about true crime as it is anthropology, politics, community, culture, and history. It is a holistic, heartfelt, and often very personal look at how these crimes happened.

1958 - Falmouth, Maine. You won’t find the name Dennis Down featured on the Maine Unsolved Homicide List. You also won’t find anything on his murder on the internet.  Buried deep in the memories and archives of 1958, sits a brutal unsolved murder of a man who still hasn’t received justice.  At 63, Dennis and his wife Edith, both of England, had just purchased a new grocery store in Portland, ME’s Munjoy Hill neighborhood. They had recently become grandparents, and they were looking forward to the golden years of life. But on a cool morning in late June of 1958, somebody took it all away. Dennis was found beaten and stabbed in his home—a horrific crime that left police and everyone who knew him baffled. Despite extensive efforts to find the person responsible, nobody was ever arrested for the crime. Pulled from the archives, this is the cold case of Dennis Down.

1990 - Johnston, Rhode Island. In July of 1999, 50-year-old Stephen Marfeo took action on a violent plan: he shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Laura Vincent, and attempted to kill her boyfriend, Sal Puleo, before ultimately taking his own life.  For police, this was an open and shut case fulled by jealousy and domestic violence. However, they held out hope that this tragedy would help them unravel the mystery of what happened to Stephen’s wife, 34-year-old Doreen Ann Marfeo, who vanished without a trace from their Johnston, RI home in March of 1990. Stephen told police that Doreen’s behavior in the months leading up to her disappearance had taken a bizarre uncharacteristic turn. She abruptly quit her job, and was having late night panic attacks over something she couldn’t bring herself to tell her husband. Several months later, police began receiving anonymous letters in the mail... letters that claimed to have intimate knowledge about Doreen, and detailed what allegedly happened to her the day she disappeared… Episode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/doreen-marfeo Support the show: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold Facebook: /mstpodcast Website: murdershetold.com If you have any information on the disappearance of Doreen Marfeo, please contact the Johnston Police Dept at (401) 231-4210 or leave a tip at tips@johnstonpd.com. ----- Learn more about your ad choices.

2015 - Fennville, Michigan. “On Sunday, January 11th, I strangled her… she’s dead, and she’s laying on the living room floor…”  When Allegan County police showed up to the residence mentioned in the haunting 911 call, they discovered the lifeless body of 48-year-old Sara Lee Knight in the exact condition described by the anonymous caller—virtually frozen due to the absence of heating in the house. Documents, funeral instructions, photos and personal items of Sara’s had been organized and laid out on the table for police to find. The only thing they couldn’t find was Sara’s husband, Butch. It didn’t take long for police to realize the person who made the call to 911 was 66-year-old Harold “Butch” Knight. Butch had taken Sara’s vehicle and skipped town, eventually making his way up to a tiny town in rural Maine. By the time they found Sara’s abandoned vehicle, it was too late. They’d lost his trail.  Almost a decade later, police are still searching for Butch. This is the story of Sara Lee Knight, and Harold Wesley Knight, who is a fugitive of justice.

1981 - Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In September of 1981, the city of Portsmouth was rocked with the vicious murder of 23-year-old model and beauty school student, Laura Kempton. Laura had been home alone in her apartment when the killer broke in and took her life. One year later, in October of 1982, Portsmouth police found themselves in a nightmare déjà vu: another young model, 20-year-old Tammy Little, was found murdered and assaulted at her apartment. Just like Laura, Tammy was taking classes at Portsmouth’s beauty school.  Both cases were eerily similar, but investigators were hesitant to link them too soon. Decades passed without resolution in both cases, which had been inextricably linked in death… until a hot July day in 2023, when the NH Attorney General and Portsmouth PD held a press conference with a major update.

1984 - Concord, New Hampshire. Shirley Ann McBride, known as Tippy, mysteriously vanished without a trace during the summer of 1984. She was 15, and had recently relocated from rural Pittsfield, NH to her sister Donna's residence in nearby Concord. On the evening of Friday, July 13th, 1984, Tippy left to collect payment for her babysitting job but never arrived at her destination. Initially, the police considered her a runaway, assuming she would resurface soon, given her history. However, this time was different.

1979 - Gary, Indiana. It was October of 1979, and 8-year-old Kenneth “Kenny” Conrick had been dreaming for weeks about what Halloween costume he would pick for his favorite holiday. But somewhere on his walk home from school, Kenny vanished without a trace. Kenny was supposed to meet his babysitter, but he never he showed up.  The last known sighting of him was alongside his friend, walking down their familiar road. How could such a seemingly innocent walk turn into a nightmare? The community sprung into action, working together in a collective effort to bring Kenny home safely.  A few weeks later, the search for Kenny came to a tragic end; the little boy’s body was found behind the Salvation Army where he and his friends would play. He had been mutilated and strangled. Despite strong leads and multiple suspects, the investigation into Kenny's murder quickly stalled, leaving the case unsolved for decades. The search for answers raised various possibilities: was it a satanic cult? Someone known to Kenny? Or a predator waiting to strike? Then, in 2007, police interviewed a man named David Bowen, who was 16 at the time. Could Kenny’s killer have been right there in front of them all along?

He ran to a neighbor for help, but tragically died before first responders arrived. As news of Amy’s murder charges spread, Mark’s family and friends were determined to bring the truth to light: that Mark's death was the result of escalating domestic violence.

Prosecutors sought to prove this murder was intentional after Mark told Amy that he was leaving her. Amy’s defense team said she acted in self-defense.  But the state had its star witness.

1993 - Bangor/Houlton, Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes had vanished without a trace from Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor in the early morning hours of April 25th, 1993. All eyes were on her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger, who were both arrested after a violent altercation with Virginia at a bar shortly before her disappearance. Hospital staff said Virgina left without checking out, possibly on her own accord. This is the last place she was reliably seen. She was never heard from again. Virginia was a mother. A beloved sister and daughter. After 30 years of waiting, her family just wants to bring her home.  Through their own personal healing, Virginia's family is determined to shed light on the issue of violence and abuse experienced by Native women and people at a disproportionately higher rate.

1993 - Bangor/Houlton, Maine. On the evening of April 24th, 1993, Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes was at a bar in Bangor, Maine with her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger, when a brutal fight broke out. Both men beat Virginia, resulting in a double arrest for assault, and Virginia in the hospital. Sometime in the early morning hours, Virginia vanished. Police said she left the hospital on her own accord without checking out, and that they're reasonably sure she was seen at a truck stop in Houlton making a phone call—2.5 hours away in the direction of her home in Easton—trying to get back to her kids. The Pictou family isn’t so sure. Her brother, Robert Pictou, believes his sister was dead before she left Bangor... so what happened to Virginia? And 30 years later, why hasn’t she been found? This is part one of two of Virginia Pictou Noyes. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou is Mi'kmaw—part of Mi'kmaq Nation—one of Maine and Canada’s Native tribes.

1995 - Bangor, Maine. When Sarah Johnson went upstairs to check on her infant daughter, Aisha Mariah Dickson, she wasn’t expecting to find her not breathing in her crib. The little baby girl was rushed to the hospital where doctors tried everything they could. Aisha was later pronounced dead at just 8-months-old. But the medical examiner made a disturbing discovery during the autopsy: Aisha had died of blunt force trauma. Not only that, but her short life was filled with abuse that was evident in her healing wounds and bones.  The only people in the apt on the night of January 6th, 1995 were her mother, Sarah, her grandmother, June, and her father, DeShawn.  So which one of them murdered Aisha?

1986 - Kingston, Massachussetts. On a brisk night in October of 1986, 15-year-old Tracy Gilpin left a friend’s house party in Rocky Nook to buy a pack of cigarettes at the Cumberland Farms gas station. When she left the parking lot around 11:30pm, it was the last time she would be seen alive. Three weeks later, Tracy’s body was found 11 miles away in Myles Standish State Forest. She’d been crushed by a 73 lb boulder. For years, the Gilpin’s fought to keep Tracy in the public eye. Her sister, Kerry Gilpin, inspired to help make a difference for other families, even became a state trooper (and eventually the superintendent) for the Massachusetts State Police.  As years went on and other cases were solved, they always wondered when their day for justice would come… and 32 years later, in 2018, it did; when police arrested 61-year-old Michael Arthur Hand in North Carolina. This is the murder of Tracy “Ashtray” Gilpin and what we know in the case against Michael Hand. Though an arrest has been made, the work is still not done. If you have any information on the murder of Tracy Gilpin, now is the time to come forward. Please contact the Massachusetts State Police investigators at (508) 894-2584 with any information.

1971 - Burlington, Vermont. In July of 1971, a 23-year-old elementary school teacher named Rita Curran was brutally attacked and murdered as she slept in her own bed in Burlington, VT. Her roommates just happened to be away, and in the span of 70 minutes, an unknown man entered the apartment and took her life. Rita’s murder shook the small city. It was brazen; and police had zero leads. For 51 years, Rita’s case remained unsolved. It was Burlington’s oldest cold case, and one of the most infamous true crime cases in New England. Ted Bundy was even considered to be a suspect at one point. Rita’s family came to the conclusion that her case may never be solved. Until February 21st, 2023, when Burlington police detectives and other officials announced that through genetic genealogy, they had solved the case: her killer was a man named William DeRoos, who was 31 at the time and lived just 2 floors above her. But who was he? And why did he murder Rita? This is a story of hope, and modern forensics. This is the story of Rita Curran; Burlington's newest solved case.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.   When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.   Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?   Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD: The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.

1947 - Pawtucket, Rhode Island. 17-year-old Rita Bouchard was paranoid of being hurt or killed by unknown men. In 1947, an unknown assailant was violently attacking women on the streets of Pawtucket, RI, and Rita, who worked the late shift at the factory, was afraid she could be next.  Sadly, on February 1st, 1947, Rita’s fear came true. A man walking a trail in the woods discovered her body under a tree. She had been brutally stabbed to death over 30 times with a stiletto knife. Police had no idea who did this to her. A month after her murder, police question a boy named Raymond Patenaude, the brother of Rita’s best friend. He was already a potential suspect in their mind, but they didn’t have the evidence against him. Raymond told them of a strange dream he had, and came to the realization it wasn’t a dream at all, but a repressed memory… A memory of killing Rita. 76 years have passed since Rita’s murder, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be solved.  If you or somebody you know has any information about the unsolved murder of Rita Bouchard, please call the Pawtucket Police Dept at 401-727-9100.

1988 - Hermon, Maine.  If you haven’t listened to the interrogation in part one, I suggest starting with that one first. In November of 1988, the body of 14-year-old Rebecca “Becky” Pelkey was found in the rural woods of Hermon, Maine. Becky went missing the week prior after a night out with friends, and was last seen in a car with a man named Ronald Boobar. Ron was 24-years-old. The following month, Ron was arrested for her murder. This is the story of Becky Pelkey, told through her family, and original transcripts and court records. You followed the investigation in part one, now follow the trial, the evidence, and the impact left from Becky’s death. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Becky is part of the Aroostook Band of Mi'kmaqs, one of Maine’s Native tribes. By sharing her story, we are keeping her name alive and bringing awareness to the epidemic that is violence against Indigenous women and girls.  Episode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/rebecca-pelkey-2 Support Murder, She Told: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold Facebook: /mstpodcast Website: murdershetold.com It’s time to end the violence.

1988 - Hermon, Maine.  Inside the neon splashed walls of the Bangor Arcade, Erica and Melanie waited for their friend, 14-year-old Rebecca “Becky” Pelkey. Becky was late, and the clock was ticking. Not only was Becky no-showing, but so was her new friend, 24-year-old Ronald Boobar, who they’d hung out with the previous night. One week later, the newspaper released a description of an unidentified young woman who had been found dead in the woods. It was Becky.  The day that she was identified, police spoke individually with her friends. They waited to talk to Ron last. In a quiet room, just after midnight, Ron Boobar sat at the Bangor Police dept with two detectives. They set up a cassette recording device on the table, and hit record….

1989 - Worcecster, Massachusetts. 17-year-old Nereida “Nettie” Melendez had a big day ahead of her, and plans for her bright future. June 5th, 1989, was just the beginning: her high school graduation. But when her name was called onstage to get her diploma, Nettie was nowhere to be found. Her family started to panic. Nettie was responsible, and it was highly unlike her to miss such an important event. Their panic ended in tragedy when her body was recovered after a family search the next day. To this day, her case still remains unsolved. Nettie’s brother, Peter Vasquez, and her cousin Doris, reflect on Nettie’s life, their frustrations with the slow moving investigation, and what they would say if they were face to face with her killer. If you have any information on the murder of Nettie Melendez, I encourage you to call the Worcester Police Dept at 508-799-8466, text TIPWPD to CRIMES (274637), or submit an anonymous tip.

She had no idea that just behind the doors of the home, was a man attacking her mother. Anita yelled her daughter to take her brother and run. When police arrived to the Patel home, they walked into one of the worst crime scenes they’d ever encountered. Both Champa and Anita had been killed; tortured and set on fire.

2022 - Concord, New Hampshire. Stephen & Djeswende "Wendy" Reid were ready to slow down and enjoy their golden years together. After impressive, lifelong careers as humanitarians serving those in need all over the world, they finally retired to Steve’s hometown of Concord, New Hampshire. On the afternoon of April 18th, 2022, the day after Easter, Steve and Wendy went for a walk on a trail system called Broken Ground Trails near their apartment complex. They never made it home. On the trail, they were shot to death in cold blood by a stranger; shaking up everyone in New England. Who would shoot such wonderful people? For 6 months it seemed like the police didn’t have many leads. A composite sketch had been released, but Steve and Wendy barely made the news anymore, despite the brazen nature of the crime…. Until October 13th, 2022, when the Concord police announced their previously unnamed person-of-interest had been apprehended for unrelated crimes in Vermont. His name was Logan Clegg, and this announcement came seemingly out-of-the-blue. A few days later, Logan was officially charged with two counts of murder. How did the police come to connect Logan to the crime scene?  The answer is complicated… and it came just in time, because Logan had a one way ticket out of the country in just 2 days… This is everything you need to know about the current investigation into the murders of Steve and Wendy Reid, and the charges against Logan Clegg Detailed sources can be found on murdershetold.com Connect on Instagram @murdershetoldpodcast Support the show here Learn more about your ad choices.

1940 - Rockland, Maine. It was Halloween night, and 16-year-old Alzada Pauline Young wanted to go out. Her younger siblings were trick-or-treating, and on their way to a party. Why was she being punished?  In the height of an argument, she drew a knife in a threat against her step-father, John Phelps, who was the only thing standing in her way. In what he claimed was self defense, he hurled the closet weapon at her—a hammer—killing her instantly.  What happened next, was one of the most heinous and horrifying attempts at a cover up in Maine history.  John cut up her body under the cover of darkness, disposed of each part in burlap bags, and made sure all trace of Pauline was removed… The teenager did have a habit of staying away from home. He’ll just tell her mother she ran off to get married…  But little did he know, somebody had been listening. Neighbors were growing suspicious, and his secret would only stay buried for so long. Was this a terrible and tragic accident? Or a man who killed his wife’s daughter in a homicidal rage because he wanted her gone?

2006 - Cranston, Rhode Island. The case was doomed from the start. In July of 2006, when paramedics arrived at the apartment of 34-year-old Shawn O'Brien, they believed it was for a medical emergency. It wasn't until after he passed away—and the police consulted with the medical examiner—that they realized the magnitude of his injuries were not consistent with what allegedly happened: a fall from a seizure. His cause of death was blunt force trauma. By the time police got a search warrant, it had been 4 days and the crime scene was contaminated. What's worse, the medical examiner didn't have a clear story from police about how his injuries occurred, and ruled the manner of death as undetermined, beginning an uphill battle with the police (to investigate as a homicide) that continues to this day. 16 years later, the family is still asking themselves the same questions they did in 2006, and pushing even harder for the answers. His only daughter, Natalia St. Louis, remains determined to find out the truth about what happened to her father... and won't stop until she does.

2006 - Cranston, Rhode Island. Shawn O’Brien was the life of the party. Despite the trouble that he'd occasionally get into, he had the luck of the Irish, and would often emerge unscathed... until one hot summer night in 2006, when everything changed... Paramedics arrived to his basement apartment on a call for a seizure, something Shawn occasionally suffered from. According to accounts, he had been seizing for over an hour, making this a life threatening situation that ultimately took his life. But things just didn't add up, and questions swirled around the circumstances of Shawn's death. If Shawn died from a seizure, why was the medical examiner saying that his death was caused by blunt force trauma? And why won't the police rule it a homicide? 16 years later, his daughter, Natalia St. Louis has set out to fulfill a promise she made to herself as a girl: to find out the truth about what happened to her father.

Police turned their eyes toward her husband, Jon Hannah, against whom she had recently secured a restraining order. 18 months later, her body was discovered in a rural part of Maine, an hour west of where she lived.

1996 - Lynn, Massachusetts. On the evening of September 28th, 1996, a man with a dog approached 6-year-old Jesus de la Cruz with the enticing offer of a shiny bike for him to play with. Jesus' bike had been broken, so he followed the man up the street and toward a park, excited about his new toy. He was never seen again. The man was later identified as Robert Levesque, but he claimed to have no knowledge about Jesus. On paper, he looked like the perfect suspect. But as the investigative layers begin to peel back and additional suspects emerge, detectives were left baffled with more questions than answers in a desperate race against time. The disappearance of Jesus de la Cruz remains one of New England's most haunting mysteries. It’s also every parent's worst nightmare: a total stranger abducting your child in broad daylight. If you have any information about the kidnapping of Jesus, I urge you to call the Lynn Police Dept at 781-595-2000.

Just as Sheila LaBarre's impending murder trial in March of 2008 was approaching, Sheila's legal team dropped a bombshell: Sheila had admitted to killing both Kenneth Countie and Michael DeLoge (despite the fact the state hadn't charged her with Michael's death), but declared she was "not guilty by reason of insanity"—that Sheila believed she was an avenging angel put on this earth with a mission to take out the bad guys. The families of Kenneth and Michael were aghast at the possibility Sheila might be able to escape responsibility for their loved ones' deaths, meanwhile, the media dug into Sheila's history... unearthing a horrifying record of domestic violence, and the survivors who lived to tell their accounts on the stand.
