  • A Detective’s Confession: I Killed My Wife
    Nov 12 2024

    On July 31st 2024, Elizabeth Byrd’s longtime best friend knew something was wrong when Liz didn’t show up for their workout class. After calling police for a welfare check when loved ones found out three young kids were left alone, officers found Liz Byrd dead in her bedroom. Her husband, John Byrd, was a detective for the Maricopa County Attorney’s office, and specialized in justice for domestic violence victims. He was nowhere to be found, and once police caught up to him, he confessed to killing his wife. Liz’ brother and best friend detail what happened that day before and after the murder, what they’ve learned since, and how they’re helping care for the Byrd’s kids who lost so much in this tragedy.

Leaves you wanting more

Being from Arizona I really want to like this podcast but it truly comes up lacking every time. The coverage of their mini series zombie killer was unbearable to listen to, the episodes were beyond short and often just repeated themselves from the previous episode so maybe a couple minutes of new updates are given. More in depth investigation and reporting would be so appreciated by your listeners!

Very informative ppdcast

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. While I grew up in Arizona and know most of these stories well, the details missed and new to me are very informative.
