Ohio: The Murder of Aliza Sherman
2w ago00:19:09Tap to summarizeOn Sunday March 24th, 2013, 53-year-old Aliza Sherman told her son Jeremy that she had some errands to run and needed to stop by her divorce attorney's office, but that she would be home later with pizza. When 7:45 rolled around, Jeremy got concerned and called his sister who lived a few miles away. But when his sister got to their house, they were met by a police officer who told them the devastating news: their mother had been killed only a few hours earlier, stabbed to death in downtown Cleveland. Aliza had been there to meet with her lawyer about her impending divorce trial from her estranged husband, Sanford. Sanford had been stealing money from the family and had been threatening Aliza. But when police looked into the case of who would have wanted to kill a seemingly upstanding, innocent woman the answer was even more bizarre than anyone could have imagined.Show Notes:https://lastseenalivepodcast.com/2021/08/23/unsolved-homicide-aliza-sherman/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14255922/

Zebb followed Jason in his car toward the dealership until he received a page on his pager. He soon rushed off to make a phone call. When he returned, Zebb was flustered and hit Jason's car with his own. He then told Jason that he would have to look at the car another time; he needed to leave for some sort of emergency. Zebb Quinn drove off that night and was never seen again.Cristie Shoen and JT Codd had met in Venice Beach, California, while working in the entertainment industry; Cristie as a caterer for Hollywood movie sets, JT as a key grip. The two soon fell in love and got married and moved just outside of Asheville, North Carolina to raise their growing family. By mid-March of 2015, Cristie was pregnant with their first child. But on March 15th, alarms were raised when friends and family could not get ahold of either Cristie or JT. Cristie's father asked a neighbor to check on them and she saw a disturbing sight: their wallets and personal belongings were in the house and their precious dogs had not been fed for days. As police searched for clues as to where JT and Cristie could be, their suspicions fell on one man, their friend, neighbor and handyman, Robert Jason Owens.Show Notes:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2321168/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horrorwood-true-crime-in-tinseltown/id1635143133
