Episode 187: The Von Richthofen Family Murder

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2051977/fan_mail/new] The Von Richthofen family murder was a notorious 2002 case in Brazil involving 18-year-old Suzane von Richthofen, who helped plan the murders of her wealthy parents, Manfred and Marísia von Richthofen, in São Paulo. Suzane, along with her boyfriend Daniel Cravinhos and his brother Cristian, arranged the killings while her parents slept in their home. The brothers beat the couple to death with iron bars, and the crime was initially staged to look like a burglary. Police quickly became suspicious after inconsistencies appeared in Suzane’s behavior and statements. Investigators uncovered the conspiracy within days, shocking Brazil because Suzane came from an affluent, educated family and appeared to have orchestrated the murders largely because her parents disapproved of her relationship with Daniel. All three were convicted in 2006 and sentenced to lengthy prison terms. The case remains one of Brazil’s most infamous true crime stories.

Episode 186: David Renz

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2051977/fan_mail/new] In January 2013, David Renz was just another name on a federal docket, facing disturbing charges for the possession of child pornography. He was fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet and sent home to Cicero, New York, to await trial under the "watchful eye" of the U.S. Probation Office. He was supposed to be a man trapped within four walls. But behind the scenes, a catastrophic series of systemic failures was unfolding. This week, we dive into one of Central New York’s most harrowing cases of "what if." We explore how 46 separate tampering alerts went ignored by the authorities tasked with public safety, and how a faulty ankle monitor gave a predator the freedom to hunt. On a cold March night at a local shopping mall, the system’s negligence collided with the lives of Lori Bresnahan and her 10-year-old daughter. We break down the timeline of the carjacking that stunned a community, the heroic final stand of a mother fighting for her child, and the massive federal overhaul that followed in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy.
