- (27:36) - Moms who murder
A mother’s role is to protect her children and to keep them safe in all situations. Sometimes though, things go very wrong within the family unit.
Australian mother Jasmine Thomas had been struggling following the pandemic. She suffered from depression after the births of her two children and the pandemic made her increasingly paranoid. One night in 2022, she told her husband that she was taking their two daughters to McDonald’s. After getting McDonald's, Jasmine drove her children to a remote area off the highway and set the vehicle on fire with her and the children inside. All three of them died within minutes.
Texas woman Savannah Kriger was going through a messy divorce with her husband Brian. A custody hearing regarding their son Kaiden was scheduled in March 2024. On the day of the hearing, Savannah went to Brian’s home and destroyed every piece of clothing that he owned. She then shot bullets through her wedding portraits and laid her wedding dresses out on the bed. She picked up Kaiden from daycare and made him call Brian to say goodbye. She then shot her son before taking her own life.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of two mothers who murder – Jasmine Thomas and Savannah Kriger.

There have also been updates in two previously covered cases and we also discuss:
- The delay of Richard Allen’s trial. Richard is accused of killing Delphi teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams. His trial was due to start in mid May and has now been pushed out to later in 2024.
- Suzanne Morphew’s autopsy results have come back. Suzanne went missing on Mother’s Day in 2020 and her remains were found last year. Suzanne’s cause of death has been determined as “Homicide by undetermined means in the setting of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine (BAM) intoxication.” BAM is a potent tranquilizer that only licensed veterinarians can prescribe. Interestingly, Suzanne’s husband Barry had access to BAM for hunting purposes.
