We walk you through how careful voir dire, local insight, and patient strategy led to a strong panel—and why, eight days into testimony, the defense abruptly pled guilty and waived appeals. From there, the story jumps years ahead to a tense parole window, where two hours of focused testimony convinced the Kentucky Parole Board to impose life. What emerges is a real look at how justice isn’t a single moment but a chain of disciplined choices. We also open the hood on defense tactics and the math of reasonable doubt, the penalty-phase mindset, and why judges’ tendencies can shape a case’s path. Sonny shares how the investigation—and a promise to a victim’s mother—reshaped his policing: trust trained intuition, chase the small lead before it dies, and never let pride outrun the work. You’ll hear about a partial, lawyer-shaped statement that skirts ownership, prior serious offenses that foreshadowed tragedy, and the haunting possibility of uncounted victims along trucking corridors where mobility creates opportunity and witnesses are scarce. The conversation doesn’t stop at the criminal courtroom. We examine the civil suit that tested a carrier’s hiring practices and the realistic limits of employer liability, even as detectives weave weigh-station data, phone records, and witness timelines into proof. A striking moment—spotting a blue 1978 Ford F-250 after the parole hearing—feels like a closing loop, a nod to attention paid and a promise kept.

18 Wheels and a Highway: The Murder of Myra Danette Stalbosky | Part 4

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1221656/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>A prayer on the interstate. A family in a hotel room. An angel-shaped earring that turns a hunch into a roadmap. We take you inside a rare blend of raw humanity and rigorous police work as a young investigator faces the most difficult duty in the job—breaking unimaginable news—then steps into the fire to build a case that can stand up in court. From a guarded stretch of highway to a lab bench in Quantico, we trace how small details grow into powerful evidence. You’ll hear how a yellow-insulated wire with a blue connector, found near a guardrail, links back to a suspect’s truck through meticulous tool‑mark comparison. We unpack early medical insights pointing to rape and a fatal neck disarticulation, and we navigate the mid‑90s landscape of evolving DNA science: blood in a recovered mattress matching the victim, seminal fluid matching the suspect, and the careful chain of custody that kept it all intact. The angel earring—one at the scene, one in the truck—undergoes metallurgical testing to confirm a high‑probability pair, adding another beam to a structure of proof. The investigation widens with the FBI and Kentucky State Police at the table, a late‑night warrant, and a suspect who goes from talkative to silent. Inside the courthouse, elite defense counsel challenges every inch—preservation motions, discovery dumps, and attacks on forensic reliability—while the prosecution assembles a clear, consistent story for a thoughtful jury. Through it all, we keep focus where it belongs: honoring the victim, supporting the family, and showing the unglamorous, exacting craft that turns compassion and evidence into justice.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1221656/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>A lone truck on a crowded interstate. A quick mental calculation that says, stop this one. That’s where our story turns: a roadside decision that opens a far bigger truth about the disappearance of Myra Stoboski and the precision required to find it. We walk through the stop, the small talk that doesn’t add up, and the careful strategy behind securing consent for a full search. Inside the sleeper berth, the details speak louder than any denial: long blonde hairs with apparent skin matter, a bare stained mattress flipped to hide its story, and the soft drop of a bent angel earring. Those finds point in one direction, but discipline matters. We explain why probable cause isn’t enough, why triability drives decisions. From there, the work shifts to timelines and corroboration. Subpoenaed phone records and weigh station logs lock movements to minutes, undermining the suspect’s Walmart claim and placing Myra’s final call at a truck stop six miles north. With a likely interstate crime scene, we bring in the FBI, whose resources and experience accelerate the search. An air-to-ground sweep follows the data, scanning I-71 with purpose until a helicopter call changes everything at mile marker 29.5. On the embankment, the visual facts connect back to that tiny earring and a trail of contradictions, turning a gut feeling into a case that can stand in court. Along the way, we talk about what most true crime shows gloss over: how to protect a search from suppression, why suspects are kept present, and how body language in silence can be its own interview. We share the emotional weight carried by families and investigators who have to wait one more day for the truth to hold.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1221656/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>A father’s worry, a 14.7-second call, and a grainy tape from a SuperAmerica lot set a true crime story in motion. We walk you through the final hours of 18-year-old reserve officer Myra Stalbosky—her truck trouble on I-65, a rest area encounter with a trucker, and a pickup left at Exit 22 with no sign of its driver. Then comes the sound that changes everything: a jake brake on I-71, a passing rig that looks just like the one on tape, and a radio call that turns instinct into a traffic stop. We invited Sonny Boggs to unpack not only what happened, but how he knew where to look. His path from teenage firefighter to EMT to military police laid the groundwork for a quiet kind of readiness—calm, curiosity, and the habit of asking one more question. That background explains the decisive moves in this case: recognizing value in poor video, calling the chief early, looping in media, and seizing a fleeting chance on the interstate. When the driver is stopped, his answers—forgetfulness about yesterday, an admission to falsifying a logbook—become behavioral evidence that sharp listeners will hear for what it is: a story caving in. This episode is a study in how real investigations advance without cinematic shortcuts. Small departments juggle robberies, missing persons, and scarce resources. Evidence is rarely clean; cameras are outdated, and witnesses are tired or scared. Yet people and choices still matter. A father shows grace. An officer trusts his training and his gut. A team moves fast, not reckless. If you’re drawn to cases where observation, timing, and human nature intersect, this is that story. Stay with us for part one of a case that honors the victim, respects the family, and shows how intuition aligns with hard evidence on the road to justice.

18 Wheels And A Highway | The Murder of Myra Danette Stalbosky | Part 1

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1221656/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>Want a straight answer on how homicide investigations actually work? We’re gathering at the Clark County Public Library in Winchester, Kentucky on Thursday February 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM, for an evening that swaps TV shortcuts for the real craft of solving serious crimes. I’ll share the nuts and bolts of building a case—from the first officer on scene to evidence processing, interview strategy, timelines, and the tight coordination with labs and prosecutors—so you can see why patience, documentation, and corroboration are the backbone of the work. We go deep on mythbusting. Expect clear talk about DNA limitations and backlogs, what a “match” really means, how interview bias creeps in and gets checked, and why airtight chain of custody beats dramatic reveals every time. I’ll walk through ethical decisions that rarely make headlines: notifying families, managing rumor storms, and balancing public transparency with the need to protect an investigation. Along the way, I’ll read short passages from my book, True Crime and Consequences, to ground the principles in real scenes and human stakes. Bring your questions. We’ll open the floor for a candid Q&amp;A on cold cases, digital evidence, false confessions, and why some investigations stall while others move. You’ll also find discounted copies of the book and some free Murder Police Podcast swag as a thank-you to our local community and the library that makes events like this possible. If you value clear facts, careful method, and a respectful approach to victims and truth, this session is a chance to learn, challenge your assumptions, and connect with others who care about justice.

I’ll walk through ethical decisions that rarely make headlines: notifying families, managing rumor storms, and balancing public transparency with the need to protect an investigation. Along the way, I’ll read short passages from my book, True Crime and Consequences, to ground the principles in real scenes and human stakes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Bring your questions. We’ll open the floor for a candid Q&amp;amp;A on cold cases, digital evidence, false confessions, and why some investigations stall while others move. You’ll also find discounted copies of the book and some free Murder Police Podcast swag as a thank-you to our local community and the library that makes events like this possible. If you value clear facts, careful method, and a respectful approach to victims and truth, this session is a chance to learn, challenge your assumptions, and connect with others who care about justice.
