Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

An Ohio mother is doused with gasoline and set on fire.  Judy Malinowski, then 31, suffered third-degree and fourth-degree burns over 90 percent of her body. She was in a coma for seven months and underwent more than 60 surgeries. Malinowski was resuscitated seven times. She died in 2017, but not before providing three hours of recorded testimony that would be used in court against her attacker, her boyfriend, Michael Slager. Slager initially pleaded no contest to assault and arson charges in 2016 and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.  After Malinowski died,  he pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life without parole.   Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Bonnie Bowes - Mother to Judy Malinowski, Founder/President of Judy's Foundation Jarrett Ferentino - Homicide Prosecutor' Facebook & Instagram: Jarrett Ferentino  Dr. Chloe Carmichael - Clinical Psychologist, Women’s Health Magazine Advisory Board;' Author: ‘Nervous Energy: Harness The Power of Your Anxiety;' Twitter: @DrChloe Lt.

Convicted killer Lori Vallow faced a judge today for sentencing in the deaths of her children, JJ and Tylee, as well as conspiracy in the death of Tammy Daybell.  The court heard victim impact statements from two of Tammy Daybell family members and two from Vallow's relations.  Lori Vallow addressed the court herself, beginning with a biblical quote from Christ: "He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her."  Vallow said Jesus understands her and  knows the truth of what happened. Vallow's statement intimated deaths from suicide or complications from medications. She also told the court that the spirits of all three victims have visited her in prison.  Vallow said Tylee is no longer in physical pain from her medical condition and that JJ is happy. She said quote, "My beautiful children Tylee Ashlyn and Joshua Jackson rest safely this day in the arms of Jesus. My wonderful friend Tammy Daybell rests safely this day in the arms of Jesus, and I look forward to the day we are all reunited and I, too, will rest with them in the arms of my Jesus."  Judge Steven Boyce told Vallow that the crimes for which she was convicted were heinous before sentencing her to consecutive life sentences.  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Mark Tate -Trial Lawyer at TateLawGroup   Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA; Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women  Chris McDonough - Director At the Cold Case Foundation, Former Homicide Detective, & Host of YouTube channel- ‘The Interview Room’  Lauren Matthias - Journalist and Host of ‘Hidden True Crime’ Podcast and YouTube Channel; @HiddenTrueCrime on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graduation was just a few days away for a 23-year-old Pennsylvania coed when she vanished.   Chloe Stein was last seen leaving her job at a Sonic restaurant in Hempfield Township.  Her boyfriend received a text that night saying she was being pulled over, but she wasn’t seen or heard from again. Police issued a Missing Endangered Person Advisory for her.   Two days later State Police received a tip that Stein was at a home in Jeannette. She was found safe. She told police that she was abducted at gunpoint by a man in a mask and was later released. It wasn't long before Stein admitted that she made it up, because she didn't want to admit that she wasn't graduating and in fact hadn't been going to school at all.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Matthew Mangino – Attorney and Former District Attorney (Lawrence County, PA); Author: “The Executioner’s Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States;” Twitter: @MatthewTMangino Dr. Nicole Vienna - Forensic Psychologist (specializing in trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders), CEO: Vienna Psychological Group, Inc.; Instagram: @drnicolevienna, Facebook: @vienna_psych_group  Bill Garcia - Private Investigator with "Bill Garcia Investigative Services;" Part of Search Team for Sherri Papini   Trace Sargent-  Search, Rescue & Recovery Expert; Podcast: "The Seeker’s Quest;" Facebook: The Seeker’s Quest   Renatta Signorini - Staff Writer at the Tribune-Review in Greensburg, Pa.; Twitter: @byRenatta   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
