Episode 12 Norma Patricia Esparza

In 1995, Irvine, CA police found a man brutally hacked to death and dumped along a roadside. There was reason to believe that he had been abducted by a team of people in Santa Ana. Inquiries led to the name of a young college student who told investigators he had raped her – but they could not connect the rape to the murder. Until, in 2012 – they arrested Professor of Psychology Norma Patricia Esparza – the rape survivor – for his murder. Esparza's story would reveal a web of deception that many attribute to her victimization as a young woman – but some believe makes her culpable. In today's episode we discuss the polarizing case of Norma Patricia Esparza.
