The note that condemned the hero of Springfield

The note that condemned the hero of Springfield

The note that condemned the hero of Springfield: The murder of Dona Winger. On the night of August 29, 1995, the police found a note inside Roger Harrington's car: the full name of Mark Winger, his exact address, and the time of the appointment: 4:30 PM. The same man who had acted in self-defense just hours earlier. How could someone who claimed to have never known the intruder have an appointment scheduled with him? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled Mark's version: the unforced lock, the Polaroids showing Dona's body in a position contrary to his statement, and the explosive testimony of Shirley Jones, Dona's best friend, who revealed that Mark had confessed to wishing for her death. For seven years, he was seen as a hero; the criminal investigation revealed a meticulously orchestrated plan. Victim: Dona Winger Date: August 29, 1995 Location: Springfield, Illinois Status: Life imprisonment without parole - The note found in Harrington's car contained the full name, address, and exact time, completely contradicting Mark's claim that he had never known him. - The Polaroid photographs showed Dona face down, incompatible with Mark's account of holding her in his arms. - Shirley Jones, Dona's best friend and her lover a month before the crime, confessed that Mark described Harrington as "the perfect man for the plan." - From prison in 2006, Mark attempted to recruit a cellmate to murder Shirley Jones, demonstrating an escalation of criminal behavior that had gone undetected.

The torso without hands: who killed Nibaldo

The torso without hands: who killed Nibaldo: The homicide of Nibaldo Villegas Gutiérrez A floating body in the sea without limbs. While the police searched for the missing professor, his ex-wife cried on television asking for the culprit to be found. On the night of August 10, 2018, Nibaldo celebrated his 50th birthday and never returned home. Fifteen days later, workers found his decomposing torso: a murder that required dismemberment, premeditation, and complicity. In this episode, we explore the irreconcilable tension between two opposing confessions: Johanna accuses Silva of being the material author of the homicide and dismemberment; Silva claims that Johanna wielded the knife first. The physical facts match exactly. Security cameras and witnesses from the bonfire at Playa Las Locas placed them together that morning. The only difference is who initiated the fatal attack. The court ruled: co-authorship. But the question remains: was it a crime of passion, revenge for custody, or a premeditated plan by two people who were hiding from each other? Victim: Nibaldo Villegas Gutiérrez Date: August 10, 2018 Location: Quilpué, Valparaíso Region, Chile Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment (both) - Johanna and Silva admitted active participation but each blamed the other for wielding the knife in the dismemberment - Two fishermen present at Playa Las Locas on the morning of August 11 saw a bonfire, a knife among the flames, and a blue car - An ATM camera captured Silva withdrawing money with Nibaldo's card hours after his disappearance - Johanna visited the real estate conservator on the same day the identity of the torso found in the sea was confirmed Nibaldo Villegas, Quilpué Valparaíso murder, 2018, missing professor, dismemberment, criminal mystery, forensic, homicide, violent marriage, crime of passion, investigation, Spanish true crime If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The fall from the cliff that no one saw fall

The fall from the cliff that no one saw fall: The death of Ciro Castillo Rojo Body found 900 meters inside a cliff without shoes or coat, next to a glove that did not belong to him. The only person present refused to testify about Ciro's last moments. Did he fall by accident or was he pushed? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that the Peruvian prosecution could never resolve: an unreported phone call during the supposed emergency, the systematic refusal to provide forensic evidence, and the statement of a rescuer who claims that Rosario knew details impossible to know without witnessing the fall. The autopsy revealed polytrauma consistent with being pushed, not free fall due to gravity. Victim: Ciro Castillo Rojo Date: April 4, 2011 Location: Colca Canyon, Arequipa, Peru Status: Case definitively archived, September 2013 - Rescuer found body with a foreign glove of the same model worn by the only living witness. - Rosario refused to provide clothing and DNA, obstructing forensic analysis for months. - Prosecution detected a phone call during the period when she claimed to have a dead battery. - Polytrauma to the skull and spine consistent with prior pushing, not exclusive free fall.

Three stabs against state silence

Three stabs against state silence: The murder of Mijaíl Khachaturyan A bell rings in the room. Three teenagers wake up. Their father sleeps. That night of July 27, 2018, in Moscow, what seems impossible happens: after years of documented torture, constant surveillance, and sexual abuse, the three sisters act in self-defense - and immediately confess to the police. The question that paralyzes all of Russia: is this premeditated murder or the only possible act of survival when the State abandons its victims? In this episode, we explore the contradiction that defines the case: the surveillance cameras installed by Mijaíl document his own regime of terror, social services ignored school alerts, the police dismissed previous reports of domestic violence - but when the sisters act, the prosecutor charges them with premeditated conspiracy. Hidden cameras, 35 stab wounds, a domestic arsenal, and a legal system that took years to recognize that the true victims were still alive. Victim: Khachaturyan, Mijaíl Date: July 27, 2018 Location: Moscow, Russia (Altufyevskoye Avenue Department) Status: Open case; verdict against Mijaíl (guilty, May 2022); sisters' trial pending - Mijaíl installed surveillance cameras in the apartment that documented his obsessive control and corroborated the abuse testimonies of his own daughters. - The school detected suspicious absences and withdrawn behavior; alerted social services, but the protective visit never took place. - Forensic examinations confirmed intimate injuries in two sisters consistent with repeated abuse, directly contradicting relatives who swore to have never witnessed violence. - María, the youngest, was declared unfit for trial due to severe psychological damage and transferred to a psychiatric ward while her sisters await sentencing.

Sixty-five stab wounds, three and a half years free

Sixty-five stab wounds, three and a half years free: The murder of Anel Báez Álvarez Guamúchil, Sinaloa, March 19, 2014. A 16-year-old girl had announced the crime on Twitter weeks before, with precise dates and escalating threats. No one intervened. When she was arrested at the wake with visible scratch marks on her arms, the judicial system was already prepared to benefit her. In this episode, we explore how a toxic friendship ended in 65 stab wounds, how public threats on social media were ignored, and why an implicit confession on Twitter resulted in early release after just three and a half years. Investigation, documented premeditation, and a system that prioritized minority age over brutality. Victim: Anel Báez Álvarez Date: March 19, 2014 Location: Guamúchil, Sinaloa, Mexico Status: Case solved; killer free since 2017 - 65 stab wounds confirmed by forensics indicate personal brutality, not a random crime - 5 tweets of progressive threats posted between February and March, before the murder, without intervention - Erandi posted "I'm such a fool. Oh my God, what did I do" the same night of the crime before being arrested - Sentence reduced from 7 years to 5 years in July 2016; released after only 3.5 years due to juvenile justice reforms Anel Báez Álvarez, Guamúchil Sinaloa murder 2014, homicide, investigation, killer, mystery, suspense, forensics, intrigue, true crime, Erandi Gutiérrez, true crime Spanish To listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.com OBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.
