Episode 45 - The Richardson Family Murders & The Carrolton Bus Collision
In this episode, Erika covers the Richardson family murders. What happens when your beautiful little 12 year old girl, meets and falls in love with a 23 year old man. Most likely nothing good will come out of that and in this case it turned into murder and heartache. Jasmine Richardson was a typical 12-year-old, who was annoyed that her parents treated her like she was 12, when she clearly wanted to be treated as an adult. She would meet 23-year-old Jeremy Steinke on the internet on a social media site for people who were into everything goth. They would fall in love and of course her parents had an issue with this duo, for many reasons, but age was definitely at the top of their list. So Jasmine got upset and concocted a plan, where the end result would be her living and spending the rest of her life with Jeremy.
