Socialite Crime Club

Episode 34: Aiming to Please

You take my breath away…
On August 21st 2007, Joseph and Mary sat in the living room of their broken home, divorce papers in hand, waiting for the home appraiser to arrive.
Unsatisfied with their sex life, Joseph decided to end things. Then he tried one last ditch effort to kink it up. Mary, confused and betrayed, took him up on his offer. As she instructed him into the bathroom of their empty home, Mary grabbed a bag of “toys” to make things more interesting.
Unfortunately, Joseph and Mary had different ideas of what “spice things up” meant and Joseph was left with a gaping hole in his chest, gasping for air.

Where no one can hear you scream…
In 2017, Sandra Pagniano of Prescott, Arizona would breath her final breaths covered in 6 feet of dirt, courtesy of her husband David Pagniano. 
David claimed she abandoned him and their children in the wee hours of the night, even leaving a hand written note saying farewell. Close friends filed a missing person’s report. The small town was distraught.
The investigation that followed would not only prove that the letter was written by David, but that he painstakingly planned her murder for weeks and the only way to prove his guilt was the timing data linked to his cell phone…

Episode 30: Clown Shoes

If the shoe fits…
Sy Ray is no fan of defense attorneys and this episode is infamous proof. Sy and Keri dish on one of the most egotistical, self-absorbed, pinhead defense councils Sy has ever had to deal with and how Sy had to make it known his distaste for this circus act of a lawyer.

At the mercy of the court…
In January 2022, Christopher Russell Jones violated an order of protection held by his ex-girfriend driving by her apartment in his red truck while she was home.

Somehow, someway, the investigation moved forward regardless with department obtaining a warrant for his cell phone records and forcing the case into the courts.

Episode 28: Watkins

The truth will set you free…
On May 26th 2003, a 48 year old woman was sexually assaulted in the quiet suburb of Gilbert, Arizona.
Police began questioning their main suspect, 20 year old John Kenneth Watkins, implicating him with fingerprints they claimed were discovered at the scene, and with a failed voice stress test they claimed identified him as well.
The coerced confession they got from Watkins after 4 hours of interrogation would ultimately lead to his exoneration after spending 14 years in prison with help from the Arizona Justice Project.
But what happened next would put into question police interrogation tactics, the justice system, and the sick truth John Watkins was hiding all along…
