On this episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, I remember a horrific crime that happened on Florida’s East Coast, where I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. A pregnant mom and her 5 and 9-year-old girls were shot and beaten to death in their own home. The victims were my playmates and the execution of the man who killed them changed the state’s capital punishment law.

Most of us have heard of a “wicked stepmother;" a cruel, ruthless woman depicted in bedtime stories like Cinderella or Snow White. In some cases, though, these aren’t just fairytales. Investigators believe 11-year-old Gannon Stauch, had a stepmother who killed him, stuffed his body in a suitcase, then drove clear across the country to hide him, where her secret surfaced on Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast.

This episode takes a closer look at murder and madness. Four Florida defendants, all accused of killing family, all said they were insane at the time; but some victims’ relatives say what’s really crazy is that they are all but getting away with murder. Join me for more in this companion episode to “Confessions in the Fieldhouse.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Roy Atchison was admired in his community as a father, husband, and youth sports coach.

A Pensacola boy drowned at a party thrown by an influential preacher on a yacht lent to him by a prominent personal injury attorney as a favor - no one went in after the child and the party continued. The tragedy happened years ago, but is only now coming to the surface. Join me to find out why.
