81: Mommy Murdered the Night Before Christmas
In 2011, the night before Christmas, a mother of 3 and student Za’Zell
Preston was murdered hours after leaving a Christmas Eve party in California.
On Christmas morning her body was found propped up on the sofa, wearing
sunglasses, watching her children open presents, in an apartment covered in
blood. Her husband William Wallace made phone calls to the entire family, before
finally agreeing to call an Ambulance for Za’Zell. But shortly after calling
that Ambulance, William would find himself incarcerated awaiting trial, for
almost a decade.
For the 3 years leading up to her death, William had subjected Za’Zell to a
relationship from hell. William’s abuse had put Za’Zell in hospital multiple
times and he promised to kill her if she ever left Za’Zell would share her
emotional turmoil in love on Facebook and desperately tried to fix the man she
loved most, even enrolling to study domestic violence herself. But in 2011, with
plans to finally leave him for good and become a counsellor to help other women
break free from domestic violence, Za’Zell’s time to escape with her life,
would tragically run out.

and then moved his body. She was sentenced to life in prison but the story

Today’s case is about the unsolved murder of Mexican Musician Chalino Sanchez who was handed his own death note, live on stage. Later that night, Chalino was kidnapped by alleged Police and by the morning, he’d be found dead.
Chalino Sanchez was crowned the King of Corridos and is the idol of many musicians today, including Peso Pluma, who in 2023 went viral after receiving his own death note.
The message warned Peso Pluma that if he performed his upcoming concert in Tijuana, it would be his last. It had been sent by a Cartel over his song ‘El Gavilán’, that he’d made with Luis R Conriquez and Tony Aguirre. The lyrics complimented El Chapo, which enraged the cartel.
But after Peso Pluma received a death note over a bad lyric, theories behind Chalino’s unsolved murder were re-ignited across the internet.
Corrido music is about love, hardship and crime. Narcocorrido is specifically about the life of narcos. Chalino Sanchez lived a crazy life full of revenge, drug trafficking, coyotes, and music. And it’s Chalino’s music that may be the reason for his early death.
Decades on Chalino’s music has millions of fans and plays on Spotify, with his image being blasted across the Coachella Mainstage in 2023 thanks to Peso Pluma.

In 2011, BBC reporter Nawal Al-Maghafi tracked Farouk down and befriended him on Snapchat. After gaining his trust, Farouk confessed to killing Martine but claimed it was an accident resulting from rough sex gone wrong.
Today, Farouk remains trapped behind his wall of wealth, privilege, and power, while Martine's family and friends are still waiting for him to be brought to justice.

Today's case is Sanda Dia, a clever, and ambitious young man, had his life tragically cut short during a brutal hazing ritual in 2018. Sanda was attempting to join an elite, wealthy, and predominantly white fraternity called Reuzegom at KU Leuven in Belgium. For nearly 48 hours, he endured unimaginable torture. This case revealed the harsh reality of how racism, classism, and privilege allowed the 18 members involved to avoid serious punishment. The Belgian courts' decision sparked outrage and raised serious questions about whether money always wins when it comes to justice. In 2020, when the Black Lives Matter movement began, calls for justice for Sanda Dia erupted across university campuses in Belgium and the Netherlands. Angered by the trial's verdict, YouTuber Acid exposed the identities of the 18 boys involved. But, his punishment ended up being greater than what was given to those responsible for Sanda's death.
