Episode 31: They Were Loved. They Were Brilliant. And They Were Betrayed: A Double Murder and Suicide near Wright-Patterson AFB
Jaymee Prichard was a devoted mother of three. Jaime Sue Gustitus was a decorated Air Force officer. Both were deeply loved, deeply accomplished—and both were killed in a calculated act of violence by someone they knew.
In this episode, we walk through the limited facts released by law enforcement, examine the public speculation swirling around the case, and challenge the dangerous narratives that often follow intimate partner homicides. What happened in Greene County was not a mystery of passion—it was a deliberate, devastating loss.
We don’t know the full story. But we know this: Jaymee and Jaime Sue deserved better. And their legacy will not be defined by the man who took their lives
