Denise Rhudy was killed in December of 1999. She was a mother of 4 who was just going to enjoy some time out with some colleagues, but the planning and actions of 3 men took away her future. But one of those men, while not the one who pulled the trigger, should not have been out amongst other citizens of his community. His past actions indicated that he was a criminal with violent tendencies, but some people either refused to see this or cast a blind eye towards his actions. What type of prison sentence is too harsh? Too lenient? And should judges be accountable for bad decisions that were made? Join me as I look at the history of Christopher Johnson.

This episode will cover the murder of Denise Rudy who was killed by Sadiki Garden in December of 1999. His appeal brought up questions of judicial discretion, jury instruction, and the validity of eyewitness identification especially when it's cross-racial identification. As with many cases, we don't know that much about the victim, but she was a mother of four who didn't get to spend Christmas with her children that year, or even meet grandchildren in the future to spend Christmas with them. that was taken away from her, her family, and the holidays were tarnished for the family forever because of a person's decision to shoot a woman during an attempted robbery. Additionally, to be covered in a future episode, someone charged along with Garden had walked away from a work release program, and much of the coverage from this trial stemmed from this in questioning the sentencing of that person to a work release program.

Who can we trust with our kids? Surely your sister and her husband, right? Sadly, no, not in the case of Victoria Harman and her son Luke Hill. This is betrayal at its core, with one sister ignoring the needs of her nephew, and that nephew and the rest of of his family paying the price.

The 3rd and final episode of the Spooktober Series will look at the legend of Maggie’s Bridge, a story that took place in “my neck of the woods,” literally, and it was also local author Kelly Lidji’s home. Lose yourself in this spooky tale which is based on the tragic events of a young girl’s death in a horrific manner.
Information that I have about the Maggie’s Bridge Legend was sourced mostly through word of mouth as part of local lore and through spooky stories told around Halloween. Any other information was obtained from the below source:

This episode will cover the tragic death of Wilmington Police Officer Charles W Schultz in 1891. The case from the beginning had very few clues and absolutely no evidence to arrest, much less convict, someone of the crime, which was being called and assassination throughout the city and in newspapers. Officer Schultz was well loved and respected, considered fair but firm, and worked another job to provide for his family. This episode hopes to bring honor to his memory is not forgotten.
