Episode 145 Robert Gonzalez

In the early morning hours of August 31st, 2013, 21 year-old father of 2, Robert Gonzalez was stabbed 15 times by a group of 4 men in August 2013 as he walked home from a club with his friend in a Chicago neighborhood. His friend was able to escape and tell police what happened. Robert was rushed to an area hospital, but soon died from his wounds. Despite Robert's friend being an eye witness to the attack, and rumors over the years about who may have been involved, there have never been any arrests. The lack of answers and justice has been very hard on Robert's family and friends, most of all his mom Dolores. Now, Robert's children who were very young at the time he was killed, are older and curious, and they want to know what happened to their dad. Dolores is frustrated by the lack of any real progress in the case after 10 years. In this episode, she discusses her son's tragic murder, and the aftermath.

If you have any information about the murder of Robert Gonzalez, please call the Cook County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-535-STOP or the Chicago Police Department at (312) 746-8605.

Meet Your New Host; Eric Carter-Landin

Episode 153 Meet Your New Host; Eric Carter-Landin

After more than 150 episodes, original host Mike Morford steps aside from hosting the show, and introduces the new host- his friend, and past guest of the show; Eric Carter-Landin.

Eric is a past guest of the show. In episode 94, he spoke about the heartbreaking case of his little brother Jacob who was murdered in 1987, and whose killer has never faced justice. Since then, Eric has started his own podcast True Consequences, and has become a wonderful advocate for victims and their families. Eric is currently working on Advocacycon; a wonderful in person event that is a groundbreaking conference designed to bring together experts, non-profit organizations, families of the missing and murdered, and individuals passionate about advocating for justice. It aims to create a platform for education, connection, and collaboration in the fight for justice.

In this episode, Eric re-introduces himself and talks about his work, as well as his vision going forward with the show to help as many people as he can. Eric will take on hosting duties in the next episode- episode 154. We are excited to see what the future has in store with Eric behind the microphone.

A note from Mike Morford for long time listeners, and friends of the show:

Thank you for tuning in and supporting The Murder In The Family for the last several years, and for over 150 episodes. It's been my honor to have had guests on that have trusted me to share their stories with the world. I've tried to present these stories in a respectful manner, and to always provide a platform for family and survivors to talk about their loved ones. I can't think of a better person and advocate than Eric Carter-Landin, to move this show forward and help many more families along the way. Please support Eric the way that you have supported me over these first 150+ episodes.
