This week, I’m stepping away from our usual format to bring you a more candid, off-the-cuff exploration of a case that stayed with me—one that didn’t make national headlines but absolutely should have.

Lisa Boldridge didn’t fire the gun that killed her ex-husband, Kurt—but prosecutors say she planned every detail. From years of harassment and arson to manipulating her son’s father into pulling the trigger, this case is a disturbing look at how far one woman would go to regain control.

We’ll unpack the tangled relationships, veiled threats, and the cold logic behind a calculated murder—and explore whether justice was truly served.

If you like this style of storytelling, let me know by rating the episode or dropping a comment on Spotify or social media. Your feedback helps shape future episodes.
