Episode 1: The Priest, the Confession, and the Long Road to Justice - The Murder of Irene Garza
In our first episode, we explore the tragic and unsettling case of Irene Garza—a 25-year-old schoolteacher and beauty queen who vanished after attending confession in McAllen, Texas, in 1960. Her body was found days later, and suspicion quickly centered on a local priest. But despite chilling evidence, it would take decades for justice to catch up.
We unravel the details of Irene’s life, the investigation, and the disturbing role institutional silence played in delaying accountability.
This week’s featured crochet pattern is the Sunflower Granny Square, a bright tribute to Irene’s warmth and strength. Find the pattern on our Pinterest board and stitch along as we untangle this case or click here!
