This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how people died, we talk about how they lived.

This week’s roundup tracks verified movement only. No gore, no rumor, no comment section detective work. We start in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where the ice rink shooting during a high school hockey game has now claimed a third victim, and we break down what is confirmed about the victims, the shooter, and the bystander intervention that likely prevented more loss of life.

Then we move to the still unfolding disappearance of 84 year old Nancy Guthrie in Arizona, including the expanded no parking zone around her neighborhood, the reward landscape, what a CODIS no hit actually means, and why investigators are leaning into slower forensic lanes and signal based search tools.

We also cover Tipp City, Ohio, where Ashley Flynn’s husband faces murder and evidence tampering charges amid allegations of staging, plus an important court calendar update on the preliminary hearing. Finally, we go to Norristown, Pennsylvania, where a shooting investigation led to arrests in two alleged rival sex trafficking operations, and we walk through the specific mechanics described in the criminal complaint and what prosecutors will need to prove next.

Victim centered. System aware. Clear lines between what is confirmed, what is alleged, and what is still unknown.

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how Abigail Williams and Liberty German died, we talk about how they lived.

On February 13, 2017, two eighth grade best friends went for a walk on the Monon High Bridge Trail in Delphi, Indiana. It was a warm snow make up day. School was out. The kind of afternoon where nothing feels dangerous.

Abby Williams was 13. Libby German was 14. They took photos. They crossed the bridge slowly. Libby pressed record when something felt off.

What happened next would fracture a town of under 3,000 people and become one of the most analyzed cases in modern true crime history.

In this episode, we walk through:

• A detailed timeline of February 13 and 14, 2017
• The video and audio Libby captured
• The discovery of the girls near Deer Creek
• The investigation, the misfiled 2017 tip
• The 2022 arrest of Richard Allen
• The 2024 trial, forensic evidence, and ballistics testimony
• The guilty verdict and 130 year sentence
• The ongoing appeals and questions raised by the defense

This is not a story about a bridge. It is a story about two girls who mattered. And about what it took to hold a case together for nearly eight years.

I’m Dino Malvone. This is I Fear You, Babe.

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how people died, we talk about how they lived.

In our first weekly crime update, Dino walks through the major cases moving right now — what investigators actually know, what’s still unclear, and where things stand as families and communities wait for answers.

This week: a deadly shooting in Arizona, a domestic homicide case in Pennsylvania after a woman reported an assault, murder charges connected to a Washington, D.C. violence intervention program, and new forensic details emerging in the Idaho student murders.

Plus, Dino introduces the new weekly format: one episode covering the biggest crime developments each week, and another diving deep into a case we all want to understand better.

No sensationalism. No speculation. Just the facts, the context, and the human stories behind the headlines.

Let’s get into it.

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how Spencer and Monique died, we talk about how they lived.

In this episode, Dino walks through the Columbus, Ohio case of Spencer and Monique Tepe as a family story first, not a headline. We start with who Spencer was as a steady, show up kind of person, and who Monique was as the connective tissue who held the center, then widen out to the patterns that too often follow people after separation.

From there, we move carefully through what is known and what is still unknown, including the early morning window investigators believe the murders occurred, the alley footage and why space matters in a neighborhood like Weinland Park, and the detail that keeps sticking in everyone’s throat: police initially going to the wrong house during the welfare check.

We keep it victim centered and non sensational, with clear labels for what can be proven versus what is still unfolding, and we end where this story really lives: in the aftermath, the children who survived, and the systems that only seem to move fast once it is already too late.

I hear you, babe.

This is I Fear You, Babe.
Before we talk about how JonBenét Ramsey died, we talk about how she lived.

We stay inside the morning of December 26, 1996.
The house. The staircase. The ransom note. The 911 call. The waiting.
The decisions made in shock. The systems that weren’t built for clarity.
The moment the story changes forever.

This episode does not chase a theory.
It does not rush to a suspect.
It slows down and sits with what actually happened — and what didn’t.

Because this case didn’t fracture because people were evil.
It fractured because humans were trying to survive something unthinkable.

Then the story dives into the investigation itself — the autopsy findings, the garrote detail, the ransom note as evidence, the pineapple timeline, the window debate, the grand jury, the DNA wars, the media frenzy, and the institutional failures that keep this case unresolved.

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how Martha Moxley died, we talk about how she lived.

Martha Moxley was fifteen years old when she was murdered on Mischief Night in 1975 in the Belle Haven section of Greenwich, Connecticut. Her body was found the next day in the yard of a wealthy neighborhood, beaten and stabbed with a golf club taken from a nearby home.

What followed was not a lack of evidence, but a lack of urgency. Witnesses went unchallenged. Evidence aged. And for decades, the case stalled under the weight of privilege, hesitation, and silence.

In this mega episode, we trace the full timeline of Martha’s murder and the investigation that followed — from the night she disappeared, through the failed early inquiry, to the eventual conviction and its reversal decades later. We center Martha and her mother, Dorothy Moxley, and examine what happens when justice is delayed long enough to fracture truth itself.

Show Notes

Case Overview

• Martha Moxley was murdered on October 30, 1975, in Greenwich, Connecticut.
• The murder weapon was a Toney Penna golf club from the Skakel household.
• The case went cold for decades before charges were filed.

Legal Timeline

• One person grand jury convened in 1998
• Michael Skakel convicted in 2002
• Conviction overturned due to ineffective counsel
• Prosecutors declined retrial in 2020

Key Themes

• Wealth and influence in criminal investigations
• The cost of delayed justice
• Memory versus evidence in cold case prosecutions
• The emotional labor of grieving families

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how Michelle O’Connell died, we talk about how she lived.

Michelle O’Connell was twenty four years old when she was found dead from a gunshot wound in her boyfriend’s home in Florida. Authorities ruled her death a suicide. The case was closed quickly.

Years later, a group of mothers driving their children to school began asking questions no one else seemed interested in answering. They noticed inconsistencies in the investigation. They noticed gaps in the record. And they noticed how fast the system stopped looking.

They didn’t have badges or jurisdiction. They had carpools, notebooks, and persistence.

In this mini episode, we examine the Michelle O’Connell case through the women who refused to let it disappear. We trace the timeline, the procedural failures, the conflicts of interest, and the legal limits that shaped the outcome. We center Michelle and her family, not speculation — and we ask why ordinary women so often become the last line of accountability when institutions step back.

Show Notes

Case Overview

Michelle O’Connell died on September 2, 2010, in St. Johns County, Florida.

Her death was ruled a suicide despite objections from her family.

Her boyfriend at the time, Jeremy Banks, was a deputy with the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

Key Themes

Conflict of interest in law enforcement investigations

Domestic violence indicators that go undocumented

How suicide rulings can prematurely end accountability

The emotional and investigative labor taken on by private citizens

This is I Fear You, Babe. Before we talk about how Rekia Boyd died, we talk about how she lived.

Rekia Boyd was twenty two years old. She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a Black woman standing with her friends in her own city on an ordinary night.

In March of 2012, Rekia was shot and killed by an off duty Chicago police officer. She was unarmed. The officer was never convicted. Her case ended not with accountability, but with a legal technicality that exposed how easily justice can be mischarged, misdirected, and ultimately denied.

This episode examines what happened the night Rekia Boyd was killed, how the legal system responded, and why her death did not receive the attention it deserved. This is not a story about a single decision. It is about systems of protection, prosecutorial failure, and whose lives are treated as disposable.
