An illegal parking violation in Philadelphia has led to a house of horrors, as investigators recover more than a million digital images of dozens of women. Although no bodies have been found at the home of 44-year-old Eugene Horsch that was previously shared with his late, pornographic filmmaker father Raymond, some of those images depict “lifeless” women and in one case shows what appears to be a woman being strangled.

7 Missing Women Tied To Possible Father-Son Serial Killer Duo

49-year-old Jeffery Lee is set to become Alabama’s second execution of the year at 6 pm ET.  Lee was scheduled to die back in June via nitrogen gas for the double murder of a pawn shop owner and his employee. Lee also shot and thought he killed a second employee who played dead, but was able to call 9-1-1 and identify Lee. Lee was only sentenced to death after a judge overruled a jury of his peers who voted 7 to 5 for life in prison. A 2017 law in Alabama no longer allows judges to overrule a jury’s ruling, but it’s not retroactive, and does nothing to spare Lee from dying by lethal injection this evening.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We recorded this episode as a public service to anyone who is considering using Vrbo for their next vacation. Sadly, we were loyal customers for several years, renting through Vrbo multiple times a year.  However, when we had such a difficult experience at a home over the summer, the homeowner refunded a percentage of our prepaid rental fee, only to have Vrbo, days later take $5,000 from us without asking, and without explanation. After hours on the phone, multiple calls, and multiple emails where all parties agreed we had NOTHING to do with an insurance claim, Vrbo has still refused to return money that wasn’t never meant to be charged to our our credit card.  Everyone who is thinking about renting a home, needs to hear our story first. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The chatroom used by fired ‘Wheel of Fortune’ announcer Jim Thornton has put out a statement defending its purpose. The chatroom says it operates under strict rules against any type of illicit behavior, but says it exists because there is no safe way for “minor-attracted people” to access support for fear of stigmatization. The site goes on to say that most people attracted to minors behave responsibly and giving them a place to talk leads to more positive outcomes. They point out that Thornton’s firing - which they call a metaphorical lynching - illustrates the need for change in how we view people who have this attraction. As you might imagine, reaction to their statement has been met with outrage, especially among parents, who say this is dangerous, normalizing and even encouraging pedophilia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three of the Lindsay Clancy jurors are talking about what it was like in the jury deliberation room and give their impressions on the case, providing some fascinating insight into the 5 week long trial, and the 30 plus hours of deliberations that ended in a mistrial. The three women, including the jury foreperson, describe the holdout juror as an arrogant man who acknowledged he had reasonable doubt, but refused to sign off on the not guilty verdict. They also discuss the point at which they were convinced Clancy was in a state of psychosis, and not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children… and it didn’t come from a medical professional. And finally, all three women were impacted by the lack of compassion from the prosecution as they presented their case, calling their tone “cold” and “harsh.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A judge denied the release of 40-year-old mom of four, Corie Walsh during her first court appearance after strangling her 2-year-old son Barrett last week, saying she remains a risk to her other children and husband. Walsh’s attorneys wanted their client sent to a mental health facility, claiming Walsh had a fascination with the Lindsay Clancy trial while suffering a psychotic event at the time of the murder. Some new and chilling details came out of today’s hearing: police described Walsh as “incoherent” and claimed she believed she had killed her other children while planning to poison her husband with a drink when he came home. Walsh is charged with first degree murder after her two older children found their 2 year old brother hanging from the rafters of their basement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A one hour delay, turned into a three hour ordeal, that ultimately ended in a mistrial. After a judge from the Massachusetts Supreme Court denied the defense’s last-ditch effort for an emergency stay, Judge Sullivan officially declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial. There was no emotion on the faces of Lindsay Clancy, her family, or any of the jurors after the announcement was made, following 40 hours of deliberations and a grueling 5 week trial.

Reddington wanted the holdout juror to be questioned in open court, but the judge ultimately denied his request, saying there was no indication the juror has refused to deliberate or follow the law. Reddington then accused the judge of softly, glossing over his instructions to the jury, and that’s when Sullivan fired back, defending himself.

Reporters inside the courtroom have noted that the jurors look visibly frustrated after nearly 30 hours of deliberations, and if they can’t reach a consensus tomorrow, the judge cannot legally ask them to continue.

As we continue to await official word from the Lindsay Clancy jury, conspiracy theorists online are creating their own headlines. At issue, two jurors reportedly walked into court today wearing pink, and folks online are claiming that means those jurors are signaling their support for the Massachusetts mom, after hundreds of women showed up in pink outside the courthouse last week in defense of Lindsay Clancy and women’s mental health issues. The chatter online has grown so loud, that some people are demanding a mistrial. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Killer Mom Trial VERDICT WATCH: Internet Going Wild Over 2 Jurors Reportedly Wearing Pink Today

More than two dozen countries around the world have special laws to prevent a new mother from being convicted of murder if she kills her own child within 12 months of giving birth.  That means a jury would not be considering first or second degree murder charges against Lindsay Clancy if the same exact scenario happened in most other western, industrialized countries. It all dates back to the “Infanticide Act of 1938” which allows for manslaughter charges to be brought against a mother who kills her child under a year old because “the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not having fully recovered from the effect of gibing birth to the child.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial will begin day three of deliberations as they weigh competing medical diagnoses, along with any of their own personal experiences with parenting, motherhood and mental illness.

Meantime, there was an interesting development outside of the courtroom: Dr. Avram Mack resigned from his position at a Delaware children’s hospital immediately after wrapping up his highly contentious testimony where he said Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened.  The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, their crimes are horrifically linked: Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy both claim they were “commanded” to kill their children one by one, both were former nurses, both were raised Catholic and both pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis. But 25 years later, turns out one of the state’s star witnesses, Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Clancy knew right from wrong and is criminally responsible for killing her kids, works for the very psychiatrist who was later proven to have falsely testified against Andrea Yates. Dr. Park Dietz said Andrea Yates replicated a “Law and Order” episode to get away with murder, but the episode never happened, and his testimony ultimately led to Yates getting a new trial where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
