We found out that they had dug a large hole earlier that day and took her down to this isolated location,

had her walk to the hole and put her inside.

She kept trying to pop her head up and he kept pushing it down with his foot.

I'm Yardley and I'm Zibi and we're fascinated by true crime.

So we invited our friends, detectives Dan and Dave to sit down with us and share their most interesting cases.

I'm Dan and I'm Dave, Red Denicle Twins and we're detectives in small town, USA.

Dave investigates sex crimes and child abuse.

Dan investigates violent crimes and together we've worked on hundreds of cases including assaults, robberies, murders, burglaries, sex abuse and child abuse.

Names, places and certain details including relationships have been altered to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

While we realize that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we hope you'll join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

This case tells the story of a murder committed in the backwoods of small town, USA in the fall of 2001.

Just six months prior to the crime being committed, Sandra, wife to Paul and mother to Jason, their 17 year old son, filed for divorce, which upset her husband.

Though Paul had never physically hurt Sandra, he was known to be emotionally abusive, particularly when he drank, which was often.

Though they were quite private, friends and family sensed that there was a long standing discord between the two.

But now that their son Jason had been living on his own for just over a year, Sandra felt confident to take the necessary steps to separate from her husband and go live with a friend for the next four months.

That's when the reality of Sandra's decision really set in for Paul.

She enrolled in school and started making plans for a future that didn't involve her soon to be ex-husband.

Paul didn't like losing control of Sandra. It was getting to him.

So he asked their son Jason to move back home for moral support.

Both father and son were frequently vocal about their anger towards Sandra for wanting the divorce.

Sandra's own sister recalls a phone conversation where Sandra admitted that she knew her son Jason hated her and expressed hope that one day he'd get over his resentment.
