When someone gets involved in the drug trade, violence usually isn\u2019t far behind. It\u2019s a dangerous path to tread where survival can hinge almost entirely upon alliances. If you piss off the wrong person, you might pay with your life. In the late 1980s, Missouri native Darrell Mease encountered an opportunity he couldn\u2019t turn down. The 42-year-old carpenter was hired by Lloyd Lawrence, who happened to be a kingpin in a local methamphetamine ring. Instead of considering the danger he might face, Mease was blinded by dollar signs. This chance encounter set Mease\u2019s life on a deeply violent trajectory. It would escalate into an extreme act of revenge outside a serene cabin in the Ozark mountains where an entire family would be murdered.\n\nFollow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!\n\nSponsors\nHelloFresh: HelloFresh.com/MURDERISH50 - use code MURDERISH50 for 50% off + free shipping.\nRocket Money: RocketMoney.com/MURDERISH to easily cancel unwanted subscriptions.\nZocDoc: ZocDoc.com/MURDERISH, then download the free app & book a top-rated doctor.\n\nCrimeCon 2023: Visit CrimeCon.com and use code MURDERISH for 10% off a Standard Badge.\n\nDirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime - Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-money-moves-women-in-white-collar-crime/id1619521092.\n\nTrendVETTERS: Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trendvetters/id1682586524.\n\nWant to advertise on this show?
