Mid-week Mini | What Starts Out as a Missing Baby Case Becomes a Tale of Lies and Murder | Leilani Simon

Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide

In this true crime story, midweek mini of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky tells you about the case of Leilani Simon, a young mother at the center of a story of betrayal and murder.
On October 5, 2022, a 911 call from Leilani reported her 20-month-old son, Quinton Simon, missing from their Savannah, Georgia home. What began as a desperate plea for help quickly turned into a criminal investigation as inconsistencies in Leilani's story emerged. Authorities discovered disturbing evidence, including vomit in Quinton's playpen and potential blood evidence in Leilani's car.
Listen now and then answer the poll question
