Julie Popovich /// Part 2 /// 948

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

The case of Julie Popovich remains a haunting chapter in central Ohio’s criminal history. The murder shocked the region  and some believe that the case continues to raise difficult questions about justice, public records, and the rights of people who claim they were wrongfully convicted.  Julie Popovich was an aspiring young model from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Her death in 2005 drew widespread attention, not only because of the brutality and sadness surrounding the crime, but also because of the young life that had been cut short. In the years that followed, prosecutors built a case against Adam Saleh, who was accused, tried, and ultimately convicted of Popovich’s murder and kidnapping. Using the trial transcripts we present to you a case that is still much talked about in central Ohio still to this day. From behind bars, however, Adam Saleh continues to maintain that he is innocent. Saleh turned to the Ohio Innocence Project, a group based at the University of Cincinnati College of Law that investigates claims of wrongful conviction.

Part 1 of 1

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Some of the most haunting serial killer cases in Florida have never been solved. Since the 1970s, investigators have documented clusters of murders across the state with troubling similarities: the same victim profiles, the same methods, and the same remote roadsides and canals. In several cases, detectives suspected a serial offender. The Florida Sheriffs Association is highlighting unresolved serial killer cold cases by utilizing modern forensic tools like DNA analysis and genetic genealogy. The Cold Case Advisory Commission meets quarterly to review stubborn homicide files with multi-agency experts. This week we take a look at some Florida serial killer cases that have remained open for decades.
