    S. 16 Ep. 15 The Murder of Nadine Esterhuizen
    Feb 11 2025
    Last Epiode of Season 16

    18 year old Nadine Esterhuizen of Cape Town, South Africa and her 20 year old girlfriend Corrine Jackson had known each other for 4 years before they began dating. Their relationship was tumultuous, it became violent and then deadly.

    True Crime Quickie is from Atlanta, Georgia in 1984.

    A bit of sunshine is from IDAHO not OHIO as I said during the episode. Sorry, sometimes my brain and mouth don't engage with each other correctly.

Great Shows

Probably one of the coolest podcasts because the host is so conversational and authentic in her presentation of the cases. Like the focus on the victims and not on gore for gore sake.

Only complaint is the length of the episodes . I would like to see more in the 45-50 minute range.

Also the tag .it's not a crime to be gay unless your a murderer is odd. even if you weren't gay the crime would be murder not heterosexuality.
It's never a "crime" to be gay. It's the syntax not the meaning lol
