The Murder of Paul Broussard & the Crime That Changed Houston and The Murder of Moriah Wilson

About this episode

This episode covers the murders of Paul Broussard and Moriah Wilson, exploring their impact on communities and the broader societal issues surrounding them.

This week on Murder, Not Murdering, we’re covering two heartbreaking murders that captivated communities and sparked conversations far beyond the crimes themselves. Erin tells the story of Paul Broussard, a 27-year-old gay banker whose brutal murder in Houston, Texas, became a defining moment in the fight against anti-LGBTQ+ violence. During Pride Month, we look back at the climate that led to Paul’s death, the activism that followed, and why his story remains important more than three decades later. Then, Autumn examines the shocking 2022 murder of elite cyclist Moriah Wilson, a rising star in the gravel racing world whose life was cut short in a case involving jealousy, obsession, and an international manhunt. From the investigation to the trial that gripped the nation, we break down the facts behind one of the most talked-about crimes in recent sports history. Join us as we explore these tragic cases with historical context, careful research, and the compassion they deserve. In this episode: LGBTQ+ history, hate crimes, Pride Month, cycling, true crime, criminal investigations, trials, justice, and the lives behind the headlines. #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderNotMurdering…
