Summary
A young woman with dreams of becoming a nurse was murdered by the person she trusted most. Then he tried to pass it off as suicide—complete with a handwritten note and a conveniently placed gun.
In this episode, we explore the chilling case of Nathaniel Archuleta, 19, who murdered 20-year-old Mary Halcomb in Peoria, Illinois, and staged the scene to make it look like she took her own life. But from the moment police stepped onto the scene, things didn’t add up.
There was a trail of blood suggesting she had been moved. There was a bizarre note—allegedly written by Mary—giving Archuleta permission to “euthanize” her. And Archuleta? He couldn’t keep his story straight for five minutes. First it was a gun accident. Then a suicide. Eventually, he confessed to another inmate: he’d killed Mary after finding messages from another man.
The court gave him 45 years. But for Mary’s family, that number doesn’t even come close to justice. She was kind, ambitious, and nurturing—exactly the kind of nurse the world needs more of.
Instead, she became a cautionary tale about control, jealousy, and the failure of young love turned toxic.
