In this episode, we unpack one of Arizona’s most infamous and bizarre murder cases: the Trunk Murders of 1931. When two women turn up dead—stuffed into steamer trunks and shipped by train—the investigation leads to a suspect who stuns the public: Winnie Ruth Judd. We break down the details of the crime, examine the evidence that shocked the nation, and explore how the trial unfolded. Was this an open-and-shut case… or is there more buried in the details?

In this episode we explore one of the most high-profile murder trials in Arizona history—the case against Steven DeMocker.

When Carol Kennedy was found bludgeoned to death in her Prescott home in 2008, suspicion quickly turned to her ex-husband. Despite the lack of direct physical evidence, DeMocker was arrested, tried, and ultimately convicted. But questions still linger: Was the evidence truly convincing? Did the prosecution go too far? And what does this case reveal about how circumstantial evidence can sway a jury?

Hosted by the attorneys at Grand Canyon Law Group, this episode brings former prosecutors and experienced defense lawyers together to analyze the complexities of the legal system and what’s at stake when your freedom is on the line.
