A phone call, Alligator Alley, and an overturned ruling.On November 7th of 1998, motorists in south Florida saw a young woman, beaten, bleeding, stumbling, and barely able to signal for help on the side of the highway. She was severely wounded and covered in bug bites. She was 22-year-old Shandelle Maycock. When police arrived, Shandelle told them that she had been kidnapped, attacked and left for dead by a man she knew from church, 49-year-old Harrel Braddy. Not only had she been attacked but her five-year-old daughter, Quatisha “Candy” Maycock had also been kidnapped and was now missing. Days later Quatisha’s body was discovered by local fisherman. Shandelle Maycock would learn that everything she thought she knew about Harrel Braddy was a lie. SOURCES:Braddy v.

A shooting at the drive-through, a fender bender, and the floor of a shed. On February 20th, 2021, 32-year-old Pamela Cabriales was on her way home after a night out with a friend. After a minor fender bender at Colfax Avenue and I-25, a male exited the passenger side of the vehicle and shot into Pamela’s car, killing her. Police later apprehended 14-year-old Remi Cordova, 18-year-old Neshan Johnson, and another unnamed juvenile. By the time the case made it to trial, they were all pointing the finger at each other and arguing over why Pamela Cabriales had been murdered.SOURCES:18-year-old Coloradan sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in Colfax Avenue slaying - CBS Coloradohttps://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/rejects-plea-deal-pamela-cabriales/73-e24e2466-a138-4280-9d52-02f0aa252550?fbclid=IwZnRzaAPcbkdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEehbsederwK_L2KnlEOwq5BxGZMfbw88JOGttGs1vDZj-7mf9zeSBy5MhdjQk_aem_qsxbUI2TaEsmBIyGKvl1yg#swflas2p5292klodne062nl499lanhizsDenver District Attorney Files Charges in the Murder of Pamela Cabriales – Denver DAhttps://www.ktvb.com/article/news/investigations/pamela-cabriales-murder/73-8da08e26-af79-4f4f-8d74-9d1d8d6e5864?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&fbclid=IwZnRzaAPcb0JleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeAafEDYhZfoUFxwet2VsxRdfZ0Y8PHHudyP3trCwxxTGl6Ua02mo5AkFb1RM_aem_RlaM51ocTcsZKetlS9qsJw#turysywee7sdow84n5bqbt75k7bh2hdt6https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/denver-shooting-colfax-murder-mom-suspect-court/73-fd4a3a6e-5881-4917-85e5-05d970825e75?fbclid=IwRlRTSAPcb9NleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEehbsederwK_L2KnlEOwq5BxGZMfbw88JOGttGs1vDZj-7mf9zeSBy5MhdjQk_aem_qsxbUI2TaEsmBIyGKvl1yg#n91h9lja59rjfjpa3kreackvwqxg7uht‘I want people to know who she was’: Denver shooting victim Pamela Cabriales described as great friend, mother - Denver GazetteDenver District Attorney Files Charges in the Murder of Pamela Cabriales – Denver DADefendant found guilty for shooting, killing young mom in DenverDA: Denver gang member gave boy, 14, permission to shoot woman with AR-15https://www.denverpost.com/2023/03/08/neshan-johnson-denver-trial-verdict-shooting-pamela-cabriales/Neshan Johnson Sentenced for Murder – Denver DAJury returns guilty verdict for Denver teen who killed Pamela Cabriales - CBS Colorado14-year-old allegedly murdered mother of young child with AR-15 at red lightDenver teen guilty of killing woman with AR-15 after fender-benderAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A beautiful and vivacious 32-year-old woman had hit a sweet-spot of success in her life. She was a high-ranking sales consultant for the beauty company Mary Kay and on pace to be one of the top ranks in the company. But one evening in 2003, all of her momentum would be halted when her life was snuffed out by a violent sexual predator. When she realized she was in danger, she heroically placed a covert phone call to a friend which was recorded on this friend’s answering machine. The recording is a chilling exchange between Jennifer and the person most likely responsible for taking her life just moments later. Her friend called for help immediately upon receiving the message, but it was too late. And to this day, nobody has been able to identify the evil voice in this message. Connections to nearby cases and forensic advances give her family hope that they too will get answers someday soon. And they are not giving up.**Quick Correction: In the episode, I discuss that Jennifer had hit the Mary Kay rank of earning the Pink Cadillac based on source material I had found. In talking with her niece, she let me know that while she was a highly ranked sales director and on her way to it, she hadn't quite reached that rank. This is relevant for accuracy (which I value) and for perspective on what inventory and sales she would have had to maintain for rank.
