A 'Love Triangle' And A Death Sentence

True Crime Conversations - A podcast by Mamamia Podcasts - Wednesdays

In February 2009, 26-year-old Heather Strong went missing. She stopped turning up to her waitressing job at a diner in Florida and stopped contacting her family. Her estranged husband said she'd left the kids with him and was taking some time to herself to figure things out, but their abusive relationship left people questioning his version of events. And when police started to investigate, it wasn't just Heather's husband who became their prime suspect. His girlfriend Emilia, who was eight months pregnant with his child, was also interrogated for answers.  What they uncovered was a crime so horrible, it saw Emilia become the youngest Florida woman to be sentenced to death, for a crime she now says she had nothing to do with.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Jack Laurence You can hear his podcast One Minute Remaining here.
