Stranger Than Fiction Vol. 5: Petty Motives Edition

We tend to cover strange cases on our show. We seek them out,
because we find that there are always interesting lessons to be
learned there. But when it comes to weird, some cases are in a
category all their own. Like a pair of high school students so
upset about a grade that they plot the brutal murder of their
Spanish teacher…and a mother so obsessed with protecting her child
from pain that she loses all sense of right and wrong. They’re two
very different cases on the face of things, but underneath they
have one major thing in common—the motive is just bizarre.

Case 1: Final Bell: The Murder of Nohema Graber
Case 2: Dark Magic: The Murder of Joey Fischer
