TULSA, OKLAHOMA | I researched and wrote this episode, which begins on May 30, 2022, when the body of a 40-year-old mother of three is found in a creek. At first, it appears the woman has tragically taken her own life. Questions about the possibility of an accidental death are also raised. The much-loved woman’s estranged husband seems just as bewildered about what happened. But soon, evidence reveals a different cause – and manner – of death than what was initially believed. And that’s just the beginning of the story. In episode 388, Jac and Lex take you through the devastating case of Erica Evans-Jimenez, landing at a place of hope for legislation that could change some of these senseless outcomes.
