In this week’s podcast: Stephanie Parze disappeared after visiting family in October in New Jersey. The next day, her mother found her house empty with all the lights on, her phone in the living room and her car in the driveway. Stephanie’s ex-boyfriend, a person of interest, was dead three weeks later (0:43). In our second case, a South Carolina woman pleads guilty to poisoning her husband with eyedrops, years after shooting him in bed with a crossbow (30:49).
UPDATE Jan. 27, 2020, 10:30 a.m. ET: Stephanie Parze’s body was found in Old Bridge, N.J. on the afternoon of Jan. 26. https://truecrimedaily.com/2020/01/26/unidentified-body-found-near-location-of-recent-search-for-stephanie-parze/

,,,Well, I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
It's not rocket science everyone. The ex boyfriend did something. How many times have we heard the same exact story before? Girl tries to leave an abusive partner, and soon after she ends up missing or dead. Are we going to pretend that this is not like 99% of what happened? And everyone is speculating of oh maybe she just met somebody on a dating site? Come on everyone. He literally has scratches on him and sent her angry texts and was obviously a physical threat to her. How many women end up missing in these situations and it's the ex-partner? I just don't understand all of this speculation when it's right in front of you what happened..🤦
Her father came to our school today, it was so painful hearing it from him. Even years later he’s keeping her story alive. So beautiful ❤️
Yes you need to let your people know to inform you when you get home. I always tell my loved ones to let me know when they get home. It is our rule.
I’m on that road everyday. There’s a couple memorials for her.
My ex and I haven’t been together in years, but we just started spending time together, as friends, but he knows how I feel about the ones I care about.. so, every time he leaves to head home, after we hang out, he always says “I’ll text you when I get home”. I always tell everyone that I care about/love to let me know when they make it home safe because I watch enough of these crime shows to scare me real good and have me completely worried about my loved ones and myself.. lol
So many men out there who cannot control their emotions and anger / rage issues. Stay away from them!!
Careful who you get married to and he closes the top of his shirt!!!
I wouldn’t consider 19 years old a “kid”.
HE could see she was moving on with her life, he barged into her home & put an end to her life!
The family said no way would she have him there willingly!
Now he has to look over his shoulder forever until caught!
oh this is a podcast not a documentary? i'm outta here folks
I live near this terrible advent my heart breaks for this family I followed this case closely I was so heart ❤️ broken when they found her . This reminds me of the girl from Neptune N.J. Also another very sad sad case .
I can't believe the courts released this guy?!
This happened close to me and my friends knew her. So sad.
are we ignoring the grandfather? what an idiot – has insurance scam all over it ): imagine witnessing that.
Clearly he pulled the suicide Houdini trick because he didn’t want to go to prison after the cops found pedofile proof on his cell..if it wasn’t for that I think he would have been proud to go to prison for murder. He was a Herpie on the planet.
Pls make the “show type” of video about this case. I just can’t continue watching bcs always end up fall asleep 😭 Not everyone enjoying podcast thingy 😰 I’m interested to watch this case but watching people talk to a mic for 40 mins long is just so boring 🤭😭
Stephanie’s sister (I will not say her name) was in my class last year. I hope Stephanie’s family is doing ok and I hope they were able to move on about it. 🙏🏼
This happened in my county, I live super close to all of this. Hits too close to home.
33:40 I’m sorry but when Owen says “as one does” so casually, that had me ROLLING!!!!!! I’m over here lmao 😂😂
I'm in my 30s and me and all my friends still do this when we depart from each other we'll all text each other to let us know we made it to our houses or next destination. And I'm my case I have a creepy neighbor whose been busted literally standing under my carport at 1am in the pitch black just staring at my house (cops were called btw lol this just happened like two weeks ago) and if anything seems off I tell someone or I'll call someone on FaceTime til I'm safely inside with my alarm on and I check the house to make sure he's not hiding anywhere. So yea I agree keep people notified. Keep ur eyes open always and If something's weird tell someone. Hell call the cops n get them to check if u got to ppl are crazy now days
Stefanie case is very tragic. Her ex was the last to see her. He was sick very violent hit her on the head. He got jealous because she wanted to date
I hope the bastard husband is burning in hell!!
Oh GOD PROTECT US…A lot of people go missing around halloween.GOD PLEASE i hope they find her.
It takes a woman in an abusive relationship an average of 7 times to finally get away from that partner. So much needs to change and I don't see any of it happening any time soon. Authorities don't seem to care until it's too damn late. here is a piece of paper telling them they can't hurt you or be near you.. This should help… so frustrating. Ladies if you find yourself in a relationship of this kind please learn basic defense tactics and if you are able and willing get a gun and learn how to use it and never let that other person know about it or near it.. unless you are shooting them to protect yourself. You need to leave before having to resort to any of that. By that time it may be too late
What’s upsetting to me is the amount of time it was taking the court to process her assault case against him. I know the wheels of justice are slow generally but when dealing with a domestic violence case, time is of the essence! She reported it in September and here we were almost to November and they still hadn’t gone to court. I know that a restraining order is just a piece of paper but imagine, if you will, that she had it. He knocks at the door, she sees it’s him and calls the cops. (Although I am not sure if it happened like this way or not. Only they know what happened that night). Not only would they respond quicker but if she did end up getting killed, they would have had a stronger case against him because there was proof of the DV. Also, he would have been arrested for the text messages that he sent her that night! She may still have been alive if this could have happened a little quicker. (Imo) But since there was no restraining order yet, all the police had with this case is a hunch that he probably did it. Because he’s innocent until proven guilty.
They would have been able to get a warrant to search him easier etc. DV cases should be handled much more quickly because of the volatile nature of the abuser. Also because they are more than likely to commit murder than a normal person (and NO, abusers are NOT normal).
I want to make it clear, though, that I think the police and 911 dispatcher did a wonderful job regarding this sad case. I have seen SO MANY cases where the 911 and police do not take the disappearance seriously because “they are adults and it’s their prerogative if they want to disappear or not”. That makes me crazy when they do that. Not so in this case! They were awesome. Especially with the constant pressure they put on John. That was excellent police work!
Also here’s a good article about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/27/nyregion/stephanie-parze-body-found.html
Re: The grandpa who dropped his granddaughter out the window plead guilty. I felt so bad because you know he plead that way because of his intense guilt! I feel they shouldn’t have charged him because 1) it was accidental and 2) he will be punishing himself for the rest of his life without having to be in prison for it.
Yay! Ana Garcia is going to be presenting! Owen will be missed but I have loved Ana for a long time! She’s an excellent presenter!
Podcasts are horrible
You said in smaller towns, country it is harder to get in trouble. 😂😂😂😂😂 I live in a small town in AZ. We dont even have a grocery store. Dollar stores yes. Drugs are so bad here believe you me.
He should have gone to prison for life in my opinion for the child podn alone .
Those poor little children who have been violated will peob have mental health problems for lif!
Peters & Lee Show
There is nothing wrong with you voice, I love both of you all together. Ying to the Yang.☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I really like this podcast, Ana and her guest are the best. Really great reporting.
Stephanie was so pretty, a really nice looking woman, so sorry for the family loss. R.I.P. Stephanie😞😞😞😞😞
According to the ex-boyfriend's suicide note, Stephanie Parze was killed by him https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/27/nyregion/stephanie-parze-body-found.html
I hate these ones.
So awful…sadly he probably murdered her or I'm sure he'd still be alive. The pain these families are suffering, unbearable. I pray they find her and my instincts are wrong.
If he hurts or hits you ONCE, he will do it again. I am a victim of domestic violence and I am telling you right now, if I wouldn’t have taken off and fled 11 hours away that night, he would have killed me.
There IS help. You are NOT alone and you CAN get out of it.
THATS. NOT. LOVE but it’s out there.. I promise you that. Get out now, while you still can.
The ex boyfriend definitely killed her
Dont like the change of format
I watched the video from the cruise ship and he leaned out the window before he picked her up. It's extremely obvious he knew the window was open
Thank you !! To the guy for speaking CLEARLY .. I could actually enjoy watching this time instead of trying to understand What you were saying.. Thank you
Please don’t post any more podcasts I like the old videos that are more documentary like
