Summary

When Nancy LeFleur vanished in early 2024, few realized the dark reality behind her disappearance. After months of controlling abuse and living on the run, Nancy was executed by her husband, Shaun LeFleur, in the isolated deserts of New Mexico. In this Current Affairs episode, Jessie and Andie track the chilling escalation—from transient instability and domestic violence to a meticulously planned murder and shocking burial. Hear the gripping investigation details, the digital trail left by Shaun, key trial testimonies, and the lasting impact Nancy’s death has had on domestic violence awareness and law enforcement practices across state lines.
