Episode 421: Omaima Nelson "the Thanksgiving Butcher"
Manage episode 521444033 series 2313706
This week, we travel back to Thanksgiving 1991 and into a small Costa Mesa apartment where a whirlwind romance between a young Egyptian model and her much older husband curdles into something unthinkable behind closed doors. We'll trace her path from a fraught childhood in Egypt, to getting by in the Sunshine State, and follow the holiday weekend that ends in a missing husband, panicked calls for help, and a crime so disturbing that it still haunts investigators, jurors, and parole boards more than three decades later.
Happy Turkey Month.
