About this episode
This episode explores the murder case of Carlos Maldonado and the alleged involvement of his neighbor Kevin Lychwick.
When Carlos Maldonado suddenly vanished from his Wisconsin apartment complex, family members feared the worst. Months later, investigators discovered his remains in a wooded area near Frame Park, launching a homicide investigation that would lead to his neighbor, Kevin Lychwick. Prosecutors allege Lychwick murdered Maldonado, concealed the body for months, and documented the crime as part of a disturbing plan known as "Operation Slop Shop." In this episode, we break down the complete timeline—from Maldonado's disappearance and the discovery of the remains to the alleged target lists, ballistics evidence, shocking media interview, and the unusual decision by Lychwick to represent himself at trial. #TrueCrime #KevinLychwick #CarlosMaldonado #WisconsinCrime #MurderTrial #TrueCrimeSquad #CourtTV #LawAndCrime #CriminalJustice #WaukeshaWisconsin https://www.tmj4.com/news/waukesha-county/reporter-speaks-to-accused-waukesha-killer-with-a-hit-list https://www.fox6now.com/news/waukesha-murder-suspect-represent-himself-trial-next-week https://www.wisn.com/article/waukesha-man-charged-with-killing-neighbor-at-top-of-hit-list/63140031 Join our squad!
