This week’s episode is a little different. We need your help in an ongoing murder case out of Jacksonville, Florida. Jared Bridegan was a devoted and loving husband and father, but on the night of February 16, 2022, he was shot in front of his (then) 2-year-old daughter with no other witnesses around. No suspects have been officially named, but this case is solvable, and we hope to bring awareness to it in the hopes that someone, who knows something, will come forward and it will bring justice to this incredible family. Research by Haley Gray with Haley Gray Research. Without Haley, this episode would not be possible, and we could not ever thank her enough for her tireless research and the energy she has put into this. Thank you also to Kirsten Bridegan, Jared’s incredible wife.

Host Helen Molesworth revisits Mendieta’s death, taking a closer look at how she might have fallen out of the window of Carl’s 34th floor New York apartment, and the following trial which has divided the art world since 1985.
