In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down Day 1 of the Kouri Richins evidentiary hearing and the key expert testimony battles unfolding ahead of her upcoming trial.The defense sought to block three of the state’s expert witnesses, focusing heavily on the controversial “Pathway to Violence” model. Defense expert Dr. Fox testified that the model is not scientifically reliable, lacks peer-reviewed validation, has no known error rate, and cannot be used to predict individual acts of violence — arguing that its use amounts to profiling rather than science under Utah Rule of Evidence 702.The state countered with testimony from Dr. Ammon, who described the model as one of several tools used retrospectively in targeted violence prevention. The judge ultimately issued a partial ruling, limiting how the model may be used at trial.We also cover:The judge’s decision allowing a handwriting expert to testify regarding alleged forgeryWhy testimony from Dr. Sherry Veneno was ruled not currently relevant — but could be revisitedWhy Day 2 of the hearing will not be livestreamed due to sealed evidenceDonate: (Thank you for your support!

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the disturbing backstory behind the upcoming trial of Brendan Banfield, a former federal investigator accused of orchestrating the murders of his wife, Christine Banfield, and a man named Joseph Ryan inside their Fairfax County, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield carried out the killings with the help of the family’s live-in au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. According to the state, the pair used an online fetish website and encrypted messaging to lure Ryan to the home under the guise of a consensual encounter — a plan that allegedly ended in murder and a staged crime scene.This episode covers:The alleged affair and digital trailClaims of long-term planningWhat happened the morning of the murdersConflicting detective theoriesJuliana’s plea deal and cooperationInternal police disputes and prosecutorial issuesWhat to watch for as the trial beginsBrendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we cover the urgent disappearance of 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who went missing from Bexar County, Texas, on Christmas Eve. Camila was last seen leaving her family’s home early that morning. Surveillance footage shows her near her vehicle, and newly released dash-cam video captures her walking along a nearby roadway shortly before she vanished. Her phone was later found at home, uncharged, and her car was still parked at the residence. Authorities say Camila may be in imminent danger, prompting an extensive search involving local law enforcement, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. Investigators are exploring all possibilities, including whether she left voluntarily or was taken against her will. Due to the area’s proximity to major highways and known trafficking corridors, officials are urging the public to remain vigilant. Family members, friends, volunteers, and search organizations have joined efforts on the ground, using drones and coordinated search teams. Camila’s parents have made emotional pleas for her safe return, emphasizing how loved and missed she is. This episode focuses only on verified facts released by authorities and credible reporting. Rumors and online speculation can hinder investigations, and accuracy matters when time is critical. If you have any information that could help bring Camila home, please contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at (210) 335-6000 or email missingpersons@bexar.org . 📌 If you’re in the area, check your surveillance cameras. 📌 Share this episode to help spread awareness.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

In this episode, we break down the full timeline and key evidence in the Melodee Buzzard case, from her disappearance to the arrest of her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, on first-degree murder charges.Melodee Buzzard was reported missing in October after a school administrator alerted police to her prolonged absence. Investigators soon uncovered a suspicious multi-state road trip involving rental cars, wigs, license plate changes, and misleading statements about Melodee’s whereabouts. Surveillance footage placed Melodee alive for the last time near the Utah–Colorado border, where investigators believe she was killed shortly afterward.As the investigation unfolded, law enforcement executed multiple search warrants, recovered ballistic evidence, and identified disturbing behavior and statements made by Ashlee in the weeks following Melodee’s disappearance. A key witness later reported being falsely imprisoned, leading to Ashlee’s initial arrest and further scrutiny by investigators.In December, Melodee’s remains were discovered in a remote area of Utah. DNA testing confirmed her identity, and forensic evidence linked the crime back to the rental vehicle and Ashlee’s residence. Ashlee Buzzard was arrested and formally charged with first-degree murder with special allegations. Prosecutors have announced they will seek life without parole.This episode also examines Ashlee Buzzard’s background, prior mental health concerns, family court history, and the difficult questions surrounding mental illness, premeditation, and criminal responsibility.⚠️ Viewer discretion advised: This episode discusses the death of a child.Brian Entin’s channel - audio from the incident with Tyler. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-wVV5RK1Qg Criminally obsessed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6q544MVGDsALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

The State argues the district court correctly allowed evidence related to the murder of Charles Vallow and the attempted killing of Brandon Boudreaux, not to show criminal propensity, but to establish a pattern, plan, knowledge, and financial motive that closely mirrors the crimes involving JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell. Prosecutors emphasize the defense had long-standing access to this evidence, defeating claims of unfair surprise or prejudice.The episode then breaks down Vallow’s speedy trial argument using the Barker v. Wingo balancing test. While the length of delay slightly favors Vallow, the State explains that most of the delay was caused by the defense, including multiple competency proceedings and a change of venue. Vallow also failed to show any actual prejudice to her defense.Ultimately, the State asks the appellate court to affirm Lori Vallow Daybell’s conviction, arguing that none of the claims raised on appeal warrant reversal. Appeals in Arizona are still expected, meaning the legal process is far from over.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

In this episode, we continue breaking down the State of Idaho’s response to Lori Vallow Daybell’s appeal, picking up deep into the brief as the State dismantles claims of constitutional violations.The State argues that Lori Vallow failed all three prongs of the fundamental error test — including claims that her Sixth Amendment right to counsel was violated and that her due process rights were ignored while she was deemed incompetent.We walk through why the court says Mark Means had the opportunity to respond but chose not to, why this was not a structural error, and why any alleged error would be considered harmless under existing case law.The episode also dives into the key issue of competency, explaining why hearings held in Chad Daybell’s separate criminal case did not violate Lori Vallow’s rights — including her right not to be prosecuted while incompetent or her right to be physically present.This section of the appeal gives rare insight into what was happening behind the scenes while much of the case was under seal — and why the State is confident none of these arguments will impact her Idaho conviction.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Part 2 breaking down the state's response to Lori Daybell's appeal motion:The State of Idaho is asking the Idaho Supreme Court to uphold Lori Vallow Daybell’s murder convictions and life sentence without parole. Prosecutors argue the trial court acted correctly in all respects and that Vallow’s constitutional claims fail.The State says Vallow’s original attorney was properly disqualified due to a serious conflict of interest after representing both Vallow and Chad Daybell during the alleged conspiracy. Because Vallow was incompetent at the time, prosecutors argue she could not legally waive that conflict, and the court was right to reject any waiver given the severity of the case.The brief also rejects claims that Vallow’s rights were violated when hearings occurred during her incompetency, defends the admission of prior-acts evidence from Arizona to show motive and conspiracy, and argues trial delays were justified and did not violate speedy trial rights. The State asks the court to affirm the convictions .All links: https://linktr.ee/prettyliesandalibisDonate: (Thank you for your support!

okay I'm really not understanding why the biological parents were told that they couldn't know where the baby's body was going to go. I think there should be an internal investigation into the child services who had authority over that case because of all the things that went wrong with a lot of the different situations I really don't know how they dcfs got away with the things they did to the victims of this case.
that's fishy to me. two family members missing from the same family years later. you don't see that much.
finally wheels are turning
Loris pregnant
Oooooo baby! Love the new look! Love you guys! So glad I found you!
not to be crude but I still think the kids were killed in loris apt and that Tylee was dismembered there as well. I think that luminol needs to be used in that apt. I don't think it's been done. as I don't think detectives are thinking that way. and it can be found years later truly would love to see this on a forensic files episode
