This one had me riled up. When 31-year-old Patricia Jeschke didn't show up for work one day, her mother went to her house and was met with the most gruesome crime scene cops have ever seen. Patricia was a straight-laced woman who spent most of her spare time at church and didn't have an enemy in the world, so everyone was on edge. Police turn their attention to one woman who had no ties to the victim -- yet she spent nearly half a century in prison. Why were police so determined to put her away? Well the batsh*t reason was revealed in July 2024 and it's shocking, despicable and not their first time. This is the story of Sandra Hemme, America’s longest wrongfully convicted female prisoner, who was finally released last month.
