Justice for Leon part 2: Examining a Victim's Life
About this episode
This episode tells the emotional life story of Leon Laureles—a beloved uncle, caregiver, and community member—who was murdered on May 10, 1996, outside Brownwood, Texas. Nearly three decades later, his case remains unsolved, and justice has never been served.
Host Arlene, Leon’s niece, shares heartfelt stories from his life and their unbreakable bond. She exposes the neglect by law enforcement and her ongoing fight to reopen his case under the Homicide Victims' Families’ Rights Act.
