  • How A Handy Man Took Out 82 Year Old Grandma And Buried Her In Concrete Beneath Shed He Was Building

    How A Handy Man Took Out 82 Year Old Grandma And Buried Her In Concrete Beneath Shed He Was Building
    Apr 30 2025
    How A Handy Man Took Out 82 Year Old Grandma And Buried Her In Concrete Beneath Shed He Was Building A Washington state handyman has been charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and unlawful disposal of human remains after authorities say he tortured and killed an 82-year-old woman before concealing her body in concrete beneath a shed on another property. Jeffrey Zizz, 47, is accused of murdering Marcia Norman, 82, a woman he had known and maintained a friendly relationship with, following dinner plans on April 1. According to Thurston County investigators, Zizz brutally assaulted Norman over the course of several hours before killing her and attempting to cover up the crime. “This investigation is one you cannot unsee,” said Thurston County Coroner Gary Warnock during a press conference Monday. “In nearly 25 years in this office, this is the worst case I’ve witnessed.” Norman’s remains were discovered encased in concrete on a separate property where Zizz was also conducting business. Court documents revealed that her wrists and ankles were bound with long black Velcro straps and that she had suffered both blunt and penetrating injuries to her head, torso, and limbs while still alive. “This was not a quick or painless death,” Warnock said, explaining that Norman’s “onset from injury to death was not instant. It was hours.” Authorities suspect a pneumatic nail gun may have been used to inflict some of the penetrating injuries. Zizz, who was already in custody on unrelated charges, was arrested following a series of investigative breakthroughs. License plate recognition cameras recorded his vehicle near Norman’s home during the early morning hours of April 2—despite his earlier claim to police that he had left her home the night before at 9 p.m. He later failed a polygraph test and requested an attorney during a second police interview. A deeply disturbing piece of evidence came in the form of a five-page typed letter discovered during the investigation. The document described a detailed plan for a burglary and sexual assault targeting a female “customer.” Sheriff Derek Sanders said there were “similarities” between the letter and the crime against Norman, though details are still being withheld due to the ongoing investigation. Adding to the chilling nature of the case, Norman had previously told family members about a troubling encounter with Zizz. Earlier this year, she reportedly awoke to find him standing at the foot of her bed. She confronted him and made it clear their relationship was to remain professional. Zizz later admitted to the incident, telling detectives he had romantic thoughts about her. Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney Jon Tunheim stated that while he was not yet prepared to conclusively label the crime as torture, the injuries were “consistent with torture.” An arraignment for Zizz is scheduled for May 6. During a court appearance on April 21, a judge ordered that he be held without bond. “This was a horrifying, calculated, and deeply personal crime,” Sheriff Sanders said. “We owe it to Marcia and her family to ensure justice is served.” Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  • Manipulation or Miscommunication? Jurors Hear Karen Read’s Final Texts to O’Keefe

    Manipulation or Miscommunication? Jurors Hear Karen Read’s Final Texts to O’Keefe

    Manipulation or Miscommunication? Jurors Hear Karen Read’s Final Texts to O’Keefe
    What if the only thing they can prove is that she was drunk?

    Defense Attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, joins Tony Bruski to dissect the tangled web of Karen Read's statements, intoxication, and the dangerously blurred lines of memory and guilt. From fluctuating drink counts to the question of blackouts, the conversation unravels how intoxication is being used both as a weapon and a shield in this case. Motta doesn't just analyze her words—he lays out how the defense can turn chaos into reasonable doubt.

    This isn’t about proving who’s likable—it’s about whether a jury can convict someone whose every retelling contradicts the last. The deeper you go, the more disturbing it gets: relationships layered with manipulation, emotional volatility, and the raw reality of alcohol-fueled confusion.

    How much of what Karen says is trauma and how much is strategy? And if she was truly blacked out, does that make her less guilty—or more dangerous?

    Seven Reasons the Court Said 'No' to Striking the Death Penalty for Bryan Kohberger
    In a major legal twist, the judge has denied Bryan Kohberger’s motion to strike the death penalty, despite claims that prosecutors buried his defense under 68 terabytes of disorganized evidence. This video breaks down the full court ruling—why the judge didn’t buy the “data dump” defense, what it means for the future of this high-profile capital case, and how Kohberger’s legal strategy may have just hit a dead end. We’ll explore the arguments from both sides, what the discovery process actually looked like, and how this ruling could reshape the path to trial in the Idaho student murders. If you’re following the forensic, legal, and psychological dimensions of this case, this is one episode you can’t miss.

Great coverage-ads are obnoxious !

Got tired of trying to listen. The casino ad ran several times before every single episode. Worse than TV ads. Once would be sufficient.
