Episode 317 - A History of Death - The Murder of Sharon Randolph

Author: Grip Tape May 11, 2026 Duration: 51:28

On a quiet night in Las Vegas, Nevada, a frantic 911 call reported a home invasion that left a woman dead in her own hallway.

At first, it looked like a robbery gone wrong.

But as investigators began to examine the scene, small details started to surface… details that didn’t quite fit the story they had been given.

And as the truth slowly came into focus, it revealed something far more calculated and far more disturbing than anyone expected.
