217: A Chilling 911 Call & a Murder "Mystery"

Published: June 1, 2022, 11:20 a.m.

Keyona Griffin needed help. Terrified, she dialed 911 and whispered to the dispatcher that she was in grave danger. She told the dispatcher her address and said, \u201che\u2019s trying to kill me. He already killed my auntie. Can you hurry up, please?\u201d Minutes later, police arrived on the scene. They didn\u2019t do shit.\xa0\n
\n\nThen Kristin tells us about a world-class asshole named James Sullivan. Over the course of their marriage, James cheated on his wife Lita McClinton multiple times. The marriage took its toll on Lita, but after several years, she decided she\u2019d had enough. Just when it looked like she was free, a stranger rang her doorbell.\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
