Murder In America

EP. 240 - FLORIDA: ABUSED AND KILLED BY HER OWN FATHER: THE SYSTEM FAILED 12-YEAR-OLD LORI PAIGE

There were signs that things were not right at home for 12-year-old Lori Paige. Not just tiny ones: blazing red flags that followed her all her life. She came to school without shoes. She was hit with a belt in front of her classmates. She cried to friends and teachers, saying she couldn’t take the abuse any longer. And then… she vanished. What followed was an investigation that came far too late—one that revealed sexual abuse, violence, and cruelty at the hands of the person who was supposed to care for her most: her father.

EP 239 - TEXAS: THE MAN WHO ESCAPED DEATH ROW: MURDERER CHARLES VICTOR THOMPSON

On April 29th, 1998, Houston Police dragged Charles Victor Thompson out of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment, where he had started a fight with her new boyfriend. Charles was a jealous man, a drunk man, but the police didn’t think he was a killer. At least, not for another 3 hours. What began as a jealous feud spiraled into murder, and from there, into one of the most shocking cases in Texas history: where a death row inmate escaped from prison and proved that he wasn’t done wreaking havoc.

EP. 238 - GEORGIA: 1999 ATLANTA DAY TRADING MASSACRE: MARK ORRIN BARTON

Two offices. Thirteen people bleeding out on their workplace floor. And humid air full of the smell of iron, smoke, and gunfire. That’s exactly what Mark Orrin Barton wanted on the afternoon of July 29th, 1999 – and it’s just what he got. In part two of this series, we’ll walk you through the tragic, chaotic massacre that Mark Barton unleashed at his former offices. We’ll look at the victims, the survivors, and lastly – the shocking end to Mark’s rampage, which concluded with two final gunshots that no one saw coming. - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?

EP. 237 - GEORGIA: FAMILY ANNIHILATOR: MARK ORRIN BARTON

In the 1990s, Mark Orrin Barton was aiming for the stars. He was a day trader, working in a prestigious office in Atlanta. He had a wife, kids, and a seemingly successful life. Then, in 1999, he shot it all to hell. Quite literally. You may have never heard of Mark or the Day Trading Massacre, but in part one of this two-part series, we’ll examine the man who took the lives of at least thirteen people in a violent, completely unexpected shooting… and who may have taken the lives of two more years before the 1999 massacre ever happened. This is a look at over a decade of unraveling, which ended in a violent workplace shooting that changed Atlanta forever. - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?

EP. 236: CALIFORNIA: She Let Her Killer In: The Senseless Murder of Autumn Wallace

When Linda Wallace stepped into her home, she was horrified. Her drawers were ransacked. Furniture destroyed. Anything of value, stolen. But she didn’t care about that. All she wanted was to find what mattered: Her 9-year-old daughter, Autumn. When she finally did find her, all she could do was scream. Autumn lay on the bathroom floor. The investigation into who killed Autumn Wallace led to an unlikely suspect -- and an even unlikelier conviction.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb] Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl [https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl] -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844] -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files] -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101] -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ [https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/] -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca [https://pca.st/dpdyrcca] -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us [https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us] - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701] If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica [https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica] Instagram: https://instagram.com/murderinamerica/http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ [http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/] Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica [https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles [https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles] and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen [https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen] Feeling spooky?
