Triggered - The True Crime Podcast

On June 5, 2005, Jennifer Jackson was found dead in her East Memphis home, stabbed more than 50 times. Her 18-year-old daughter Noura told police she came home and found her. Investigators didn't buy it.

Noura was charged with her mother's murder and, in 2009, convicted of second-degree murder after a trial that leaned hard on her partying, her texts and her lifestyle. Years later, the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the conviction, citing a witness statement prosecutors withheld until after the trial and a closing argument that pointed at Noura's decision not to testify.

Rather than face a second trial, Noura took an Alford plea to voluntary manslaughter, pleading guilty while maintaining her innocence. She walked free in 2016. The prosecutor went on to face a disciplinary case of her own.

Where do you stand on this case? Was it Noura? Or was it someone else that will never be held responsible?

In 1986, nurse Sherri Rasmussen was found beaten and shot in her Van Nuys condo, three months after her wedding. The LAPD called it a burglary gone wrong. Her father, Nels, knew better. He gave detectives a name: Stephanie Lazarus, her husband's ex, who had threatened Sherri and turned up in her living room. Detectives told him he watched too much TV.

The thing is, Stephanie was a cop.

For 23 years, the case sat cold while she climbed the ranks to LAPD detective. Then a forgotten DNA swab, a box left on the floor near a detective's desk, and a Costco cup cracked it wide open. In this episode, we cover the love triangle, the staged crime scene, the jaw-dropping interrogation, her 2023 confession, the parole fight, and the questions about missing files that still haven't been answered.

Sherri did everything right. The one thing she couldn't do was call the police.

In 1987, five elderly women died at Alpine Manor, a nursing home in Walker, Michigan. Their deaths were ruled natural. No autopsies. No questions. Then, more than a year later, a man walked into a police station and repeated something his ex-wife had told him.

Cathy Wood and Gwendolyn Graham were nurse's aides at Alpine Manor who became lovers in 1986. According to Wood, the killings were a pact: a shared secret meant to bind them together "forever and a day." She claimed they tried to choose victims whose initials would spell out a word. There was no physical evidence. No confession on tape. Just Wood's story, a plea deal, and a trial that ended with Graham serving five life sentences while Wood walked free in 2020.

Now, in 2026, Graham says none of it happened and is asking Michigan's governor for a pardon.

We remember Mae Mason, Edith Cook, Marguerite Chambers, Myrtle Luce and Belle Burkhard.

In November 2010, three armed men walked through the unlocked front door of a quiet home in Markham, Ontario. Within minutes, Bich Ha Pan was dead and her husband Hann was left for dead in the basement. Their 24-year-old daughter Jennifer was found tied to the upstairs banister, the only witness to what looked like a random home invasion.

But Jennifer had been wearing a mask for years. Behind it were forged report cards, a fake university degree, a secret boyfriend, and a hit man who offered her a discount.

In this episode, we break down the Jennifer Pan case from the night of the attack to the lies that led up to it, and the 2026 plot twist most people still haven't heard about.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of murder, gun violence, and a brief mention of self-harm.

In August 2010, Jennifer Leigh Stewart was found dead in a Vanier parking lot in Ottawa. She was 36, a Cree woman, a mother, and a sex worker, and she was killed with an axe in a detail police kept out of the public eye for years.

For two and a half years, nothing. Then a young man in segregation at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre told a guard he wanted to confess to a murder. Adrian Daou told police he killed Jennifer to become a billionaire rap superstar. He also confessed to a second killing that fell apart almost immediately. He was symptomatic and on suicide watch at the time. There was no weapon. There was no DNA connecting him to Jennifer. Another man's DNA was found on her body.

He was convicted anyway. Then the Court of Appeal threw it out. Then a second jury convicted him all over again.
