Arizona Execution

Ally Rossell and Blake Murphy Season 1 Episode 14

Welcome back to SIC!

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the chilling case of Ted Price’s murder and the long road to justice. In 2002, Price was lured into the Arizona desert and executed by a shooter with a violent past and deep ties to Ted’s ex-wife, Katherine Lecher. We unravel the series of events that led to the murder, from the volatile relationships between those involved to the critical testimony of Jennifer Garcia, the key witness who provided a firsthand account of what happened that night.


The episode also explores Aaron Gunches’ years on the run, his capture, and his ultimate execution by lethal injection in 2025. Through trial records, eyewitness accounts, and the final moments leading up to Gunches’ death, we piece together one of Arizona’s most haunting true crime stories.
