Summary

in Episode 56 of Murder and Such, Hunter discusses a topic that flies under the radar quite often. The subjects of postpartum depression, psychosis, and infanticide is a very taboo topic that doesn't get brought into the limelight very often, and is very seldom discussed. This case surrounds one of the worst cases of infanticide in United States history of a mother compounded with secrecy and addiction while living in Utah. This is the case of Megan Huntsman.

1:07.6	Welcome back to another episode of murder and such.
1:09.8	I am your host Hunter, as always.
1:12.5	But before I jump into this episode, I just wanted to give a little bit of an update on a case that I had just covered. In episodes 51 and 52,
1:18.5	I took a dive into the meth kingpin and murderer known as Dustin Lee Honkin. I was joined by the
1:24.7	key witness, Christy Gowbots, in part two for that episode, and as we last
1:28.9	left off, he stood convicted on all of the charges that were against him, and he was handed

2:07.3	that Dustin's new filings in the legal challenge are due by the end of March and he will

2:16.7	I can't say if he's really got himself a case or not,
2:19.0	considering the death penalty was taken off of the federal table back in 2003, but I'm pretty sure
2:24.1	that Christie, as well as the other families of the victims, hope that he will not be able to
2:28.2	appeal his case, and his execution will be scheduled for a later date. Either way, this man will not be executed
