Hello and welcome to True Crime Daily, the podcast covering high profile and under the radar cases

from across the country every week on your host Anna Garcia. Our cases this week,

a former elder at a Southern California mega-church has been charged with murdering her 11-year-old daughter,

whom she adopted after fostering the girl. The adoptive mother's parents have also been charged

in connection with the death of 11-year-old Arabella. And when the adoptive father, a border patrol

agent found out that he was under investigation as well, he killed himself in front of the police

who came to question him. But first, a model featured on the pages of Playboy and Maxim magazines

a custom to glossy photo shoots has only one camera to look into. The one that takes your picture

as you begin your prison sentence. Kelsey Turner, who is accused of killing her wealthy sugar daddy,

has taken a plea deal and will avoid a trial, a trial in which she would have been hard pressed to

explain why there was a dead man in the trunk of her Mercedes. We're recording this on Wednesday,

November 16th of 2022. Our guest today is Danny Smith, the former homicide detective with the LA

County Sheriff's Department and the author of the successful Dickey Floyd detective series. We

are so happy to see you back here, Danny. How are you? Thank you, Giana. I'm doing good. Great to

be back. Thank you. Excellent. There are so many of our guests on this program are people that I

have met on crime scenes, and you're one of them. So I know it's a weird way to meet people,

but when you do a crime podcast, it's actually an excellent way to find some of the best experts

in the world of crime. So Danny, God bless me the day that I met you. Oh, thank you, Giana. I

appreciate it. Absolutely. Okay. So our first case involves two states, California and Nevada,

where a former Playboy model has accepted a plea deal in the murder of her much older sugar daddy.
