  • Shredded Evidence: The Murder of Julie Snodgrass

    Shredded Evidence: The Murder of Julie Snodgrass
    Feb 18 2026
    When a 33-year-old military wife is found stabbed to death near a U.S. air base in the Philippines, investigators initially suspect political violence. But as rumors of an affair surface and a life insurance policy doubles, suspicion shifts closer to home. What ultimately cracks the case isn’t a confession or eyewitness — it’s a shredded floppy disk pieced back together with tape, marking one of the first major breakthroughs in digital forensics.Sources:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0581464/https://veritycreates.medium.com/the-murder-of-julie-snodgrass-defb1d1ec4bfhttps://www.osi.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/2193802/osi-computer-crime-investigations-setting-the-pace-then-and-now/https://www.osi.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2002303675/https://www.stripes.com/news/2013-06-29/recounting-us-militarys-last-days-in-the-philippines-1840951.htmlhttps://www.csoonline.com/article/512727/investigations-forensics-computer-forensics-investigations-body-of-evidence.htmlhttps://militaryjusticeforall.com/2005/08/03/forensic-files-premiered-shear-luck-military-spouse-found-stabbed-to-death-near-clark-air-force-base-in-the-philippines-august-3-2005/https://militaryjusticeforall.com/1991/02/26/joseph-snodgrass-us-air-force-hired-hitmen-to-murder-wife-julie-at-clark-air-force-base-in-the-philippines-for-the-400000-life-insurance-payout-1991/This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERMint Mobile – Unlimited premium wireless for $15/month.

  • The Catfish Conspiracy Verdict: A Husband, an Au Pair, and a Murder Plot That Finally Unraveled [Current Affairs]

    The Catfish Conspiracy Verdict: A Husband, an Au Pair, and a Murder Plot That Finally Unraveled [Current Affairs]
    Feb 10 2026

    In this Current Affairs update, the hosts revisit the shocking Catfish Conspiracy case with its final outcome now decided. After years of investigation and weeks of testimony, a Virginia jury has found Brendan Banfield guilty of murdering his wife Christine and an innocent stranger lured to their home through a fetish website. This episode walks through the verdict, the evidence that ultimately broke the case open, the role of the au pair turned key witness, and the chilling details revealed at trial that transformed a bizarre story into a devastating portrait of betrayal, manipulation, and calculated violence.

    Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
