  • Horror in Surprise: A baby shot by his father & a home burns during hostage situation
    May 24 2024

    On May 17th, 2024, police are called out to a home in Surprise, AZ for an unknown shooting. They learn a woman, Allie, had escaped from being held hostage, but her 6-month-old baby, Jaxson, was still inside with his father and in danger. That man, Todd Marchetti, then shoots his own baby multiple times, and officers go inside to rescue Jaxson. A standoff then ensues, until the house unexpectedly goes up in flames during negotiations. What we learned next from family and friends was Marchetti had planned out days of torture and was in the middle of carrying that out when Allie escaped, after a history of domestic violence.

Leaves you wanting more

Being from Arizona I really want to like this podcast but it truly comes up lacking every time. The coverage of their mini series zombie killer was unbearable to listen to, the episodes were beyond short and often just repeated themselves from the previous episode so maybe a couple minutes of new updates are given. More in depth investigation and reporting would be so appreciated by your listeners!
