  • Florida Man Friday | Held Captive: Kidnapped Woman Escapes from Months of Abuse | Walter Medina

    Florida Man Friday | Held Captive: Kidnapped Woman Escapes from Months of Abuse | Walter Medina
    Nov 22 2024
    In this Florida Man Friday episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky shares the story of a woman who managed to escape her kidnapper after enduring months of unimaginable abuse. Join us as we delve into the events that unfolded in Tampa Bay, Florida, in early 2024.

    The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was lured by Walter Medina, a 48-year-old man with a criminal past, under the guise of safety and support. However, her nightmare began as Medina subjected her to relentless physical abuse.

    This episode explores the psychological trauma endured by the victim, the potential development of trauma bonds, and the failures of the justice system that allowed Medina to remain free despite his criminal history.

    Question: Given his previous charges, do you think Walter should have been out on the streets?

  • Mother Murders Two Toddler Sons by Drowning Them | Update of Susan Smith Case

    Mother Murders Two Toddler Sons by Drowning Them | Update of Susan Smith Case
    Nov 21 2024
    This is the update episode of Susan Smith done with Spreaker Creator

    In this special throwback episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky revisits the case of Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who, in 1994, drowned her two young sons by letting her car roll into John D. Long Lake.

    Now, in a 2024 update, Susan faces the parole board for the first time, expressing remorse and acknowledging the pain her actions caused. Her ex-husband, David Smith, alongside the original prosecutor, vehemently oppose her release, citing the lasting impact of her crime and her behavior in prison, which includes multiple infractions.

    Join us as we delve into the latest developments, the emotional testimonies, and the parole board's decision to deny her release.

    Share your thoughts on this update and the original case in the comments below.

    Question: Do you believe Susan's remorse is genuine, or is it merely a bid for freedom?

    For the full story and in-depth analysis, listen to the original episode here:
