61. THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL: Quee Choo Chadwick - Newport Beach, CA 2012

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Quee Choo “Q.C.” Chadwick was smart, talented and above all else, devoted to her husband, Peter, and their three sons. When Q.C. and Peter did not pick up their sons after school, it was so unlike the couple that neighbors were quick to call the authorities. Q.C.’s body was found a week later in a dumpster more than 100 miles away from her home. The roadblocks to justice that popped up along the way would take the combined resources of the Newport Beach Police Dept., the US Marshals, Homeland Security, and Interpol, along with the creation of a true crime podcast, before the perpetrator would see the inside of a jail cell.
