Hey everybody, welcome back to our podcast. This is My is murder with my husband. I'm Peyton
Moreland and I'm Garrett Moreland and he's the husband and I'm the husband. Garrett what's
your 10 seconds today? My 10 seconds today that I've recently been trying to figure out
how to fix things around the house a little more. So I did. It's not that funny. It was
some help. I install the light and the room that we're currently recording the podcast in.
So if anybody needs electrician, do not call me and call somebody else.
There you go.
Okay.
Our case sources today are tribute archive.com LJ world.com C john line.com and also a TV
show that I've never even heard of.
It's called solvedved Extreme Forensics.
So it's an episode on that never heard of it.
Thought it was pretty good.
Our case was suggested in by Summer Eurasia on Instagram.
So thank you Summer for sending this in.
The date is January 5th, 2007.
It's a Friday in the small town of Arkansas City, Kansas.
So not Arkansas.
Arkansas City, Kansas.
Okay.
Arkansas City has about 12,000 people in it and it is near the border of Oklahoma.
Jody Sanderholm is a 19 year old college student attending Cowley College.
She lives at home with her parents as the college is just on the other side of town. She's smart, she was valedictorian of her high school class. She has a lot of friends,
she's outgoing and she enjoys to dance. She is a member of the Cowley College Dance
team who go by the name of the Tigerettes, which is very common for collegiate dance teams
to do. The dance team at the college is going to be similar to an MBA or an NFL cheer
team, which is actually a dance team. They perform at cheer and sporting events. They don't
stunt or throw girls in the air like competitive cheerleaders, but they do compete at the end
of the year at a nationals, which is a lot of time what college dance teams do.
Yeah.
And I'm only saying this because I was on a college dance team, so I'm going to put some
respect on the college dance team.
I'm proud of this girl.
We've talked about that before, so I kind of relate to Jody in a way.
I know how organized and planned out the days are when you are on a college dance team or
any college sport in general, honestly.
You wake up, you go to practice, you go to class, you go to some more practice, and then
you do a game or an event and you go home. Jody's life was also predictable because of her routine.
After practice in the morning, she would go home
and get her mail, drop it off on the kitchen counter,
grab her lunch, take a shower, et cetera.
It was kind of the same thing every day.
On this particular Friday, January 5th,
Jody's mom Cindy, who usually always calls her
around lunch time to check in, makes her call.
No one answers.
Thinking her daughter, Jody, might just still be in the shower.
She waits five more minutes and calls again but to know of L.
Around this time, Jody's sister Jennifer, who is pregnant and expecting to deliver any
day, also tries to contact her but Jody is not answering anybody.
Jennifer and Cindy begin to worry.
Jody was expecting Jennifer to go into labor any day,
it wouldn't just ignore her phone calls.
Brian Sander home, Jody's dad, reassures the family
that everything is fine and they would probably all just
laugh about it in a couple hours
when they figure out what's going on.
Cindy, trying but failing to believe her husband,
decides to leave work early and go home
to check on her daughter, Jody Which to me this kind of means that they
must check in regularly every day. So I was gonna say that it seems like it
seems like a lot of stories that we do like this. There is a certain time that
they always call their mom or their dad or their friends. So it's kind of
interesting. Like especially for me, I rely on a schedule I love consistency, which is also predictable.
And so it is that, well, at this time every day, I just call this same person because that's
when I check in.
Yeah.
She rushes home only to pull up and find that Jody's car is not outside.
There is no male on the kitchen counter and there is no Jody in the house.
Cindy calls Jody's friends from dance team. They all say that they haven't seen her since practice ended, but if they do find her, she's in trouble because she didn't show up for a meeting for
team three hours after practice that day. Cindy knows something is seriously wrong.
And when Brian arrives home from work, the Santa homes call the Arkansas City Police
Department to report their 19 year old daughter, Jody missing. And so when they called them, did
they actually investigate the case? There was another one where they said, well, she's 19, she's
on her own. No, yeah, totally. So they actually investigate because the town is so small. Sean Wallace, who is the police chief at the time,
his son actually graduated with Jody.
Oh, so he knows her.
So he knows her.
So I mean, that is a kind of a benefit of a small town
is if you know somebody, you know somebody,
and so they took it seriously from the get go.
I'm sure as well, they thought,
well, how is somebody missing such a small town?
Exactly. 12,000 people. That's so small. Yeah. Holy crap.
He dispatches an officer to the family home who asks all kinds of questions about Jody.
They discover that Jody has a boyfriend named David Mouringer who is out of town visiting family
in Dallas, Texas. Police get a hold of David in Texas who claims that he hasn't seen or heard from Jody since the day before.
He agrees to come home immediately to help look for her.
At this point, Lieutenant Mark McCaslin joins in the investigation
for the missing Jody.
By that night, a full-on search conducted by police
is going on around the whole town.
Every ditch, every alleyway, everywhere is searched,
but no evidence is found.
Okay, so what year are we in again?
2007.
Okay, so not many security cameras, obviously, and everything.
Not many, yeah.
Okay.
Police then turned to the dance team.
Maybe the girls know something more about Jody.
When asked if they saw anyone suspicious that day, her teammates
tell investigators about a man named Justin Thurber who, quote, was a little creepy. Seems
as if he would hang around the dance team, watch their practices, hang out in the parking
lot when practice was over, a kind of groupie, a groupie of the dance team, so to say, he
didn't really ever talk to him, but they everyone on the dance team, so to say, he didn't really ever talk to him, but everyone on the dance team was like an inside known thing that this guy was creepy and hung around them. So that's
who they say. Do you know how big the college is? A community college. Oh, so it's not a university.
It's a community college. He was a petty criminal around town, this just in guy, but just that petty
crimes, abduction, not on the list. So cops already kind of knew who this guy was when
they brought up his name. It's now 10 p.m. and no one has heard from Jody Sanderholm or found her
black Dodge Stratis car. Searches continue as police head to Justin's parents' home where he
currently lives as well. So he lives at his parents' home too. Justin claims that he and his friends
were taking a road trip that day
when their car veered off the road
near the Cowley County State Fishing Lake
where it became stuck in mud.
His dad had to come pick him up
after he walked away from the scene,
separating from his friends,
finding service, and calling him.
He was all muddy,
and his dad picked him up and took him home.
Okay.
Jody's father calls the TV stations around 2 to 3 a.m. that night after waiting up and finally
just losing it. So think about this. His daughters missing all day, they called the cops, the
searches are going, they've talked to the dance team, they went and talked to Justin who
says, oh, I was going on a road trip, but it on my dad came and picked me up. It's now
night time and her dad is still just sitting up,
just waiting.
And so finally, it hits two to three a.m.
And he just calls the police stations
and asks them to air a segment
the next morning about Jody's disappearance
because he doesn't know what else to do.
And he can't sleep.
Oh, that is so heartbreaking.
I can, I seriously can't imagine the feeling of losing,
oh, we don't have any kids, but
when we do, I just can't imagine the feeling of losing a kid.
Well, it's just horrible.
And it's almost something like that I can't even comprehend.
Yes, exactly.
We can't put my face on.
We don't have our own kids, totally.
Special agent David Deletti with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation just so happens to
catch the morning report of the Missing Girl on TV the next day and calls in his assistant.
Wow.
The chief, lieutenant and special agent get together, bring in the three friends who Justin says
he was with that night because remember he said it was me and my friends going on the road
trip.
All three of them deny that they were with Justin that night, just the night before, upset that he had even dropped their name to the police.
Justin had completely lied to investigators about his whereabouts and his alibi for that night.
Search is continuing, but nothing comes of it. It's now the next day, and Jody has been missing for more than 24 hours. The entire town is on
edge, and the entire police department is working the case.
I'm going to be a little upset if it was Justin, because that just sucks,
because he was already stalking the team and all this stuff.
I know. Police bring in Justin's ex-girlfriend, because right now,
they've cleared the friends that he said was with them. They've cleared the boyfriend. And so Justin's really-girlfriend because right now they've cleared the friends.
He said it was with them.
They've cleared the boyfriend.
And so Justin's really the only guy left that they even have a lead on it all.
And there's only 12,000 people in this town, so unless someone driving through just out
of nowhere was like...
Happened to do it.
Exactly.
So they bring in Justin's ex-girlfriend trying to learn more about him.
She shows police a small boat dock near where Justin had called his dad from that night.
This boat dock was supposedly a place that Justin liked to go a lot.
He had even told her once that if he dropped a body off that specific dock, it would never
be found.
They bring her in and they're like, can you tell us a little bit about him and she's
like, well, he really likes this area, this wildlife area. And this
specific boat dock, he likes to go there a lot. And he even told me one time, like, now
that you're, it's a missing girl. He even told me one time if he dropped a body off this,
it would never be found. Like, you know, just like a normal way or like, just in a casual
conversation. Yeah. No, it said it was just a casual conversation. He just like casually mentioned it.
Just like, oh, if I dropped a bite, what the heck? Yeah.
This area by the dock is called the car wildlife area, and it is thousands of acres.
Police begin searching the area.
While searching the area, police also head back to Crawley College in order to search the last known whereabouts of Jodi.
She had parked her car in front of the auditorium on the morning of the 5th around 10am,
and according to the evidence or lack thereof, she never made it home, meaning this might
have been the last place she's known to be.
Investigators discover that there is a security footage camera around the area and request
it from the college.
So you kind of brought it up. It might not be all over town, but at the college at this time,
they did have cameras. I'm also surprised they haven't found her car yet.
So they haven't found her or her car. Because it's not the big of a town and a car is not the smallest
thing. So what I'm guessing is people wise, it's not that big, but there were thousands of acres of wildlife in this town
Okay, so I'm guessing that it's kind of more just rural
So there might be a lot of land that she could be at does that make sense?
You could have parked a car anywhere. Mm-hmm
Investigators begin dissecting the footage and when they do they see Jody pulling into the school that morning and
do, they see Jody pulling into the school that morning and a blue Cadillac that matches Justin's car pulls in right after hers on the security camera footage.
Wait, have a question.
Why didn't they try to get this footage earlier?
Well, we're only on day two.
Oh, okay.
So, okay, a lot has gone on and I will talk about that later how amazingly fast these people
went to try to find her, but we are only on day two.
So when they see this footage, they discover that this isn't the only time that this happens on
the tapes. Police notice on several different occasions, Justin was driving around the community
college, going into the same parking lot around the time that the dance team was there.
The problem is, there is no body and not enough evidence to make an arrest.
Police will have to find more evidence before they even try to confront Justin.
Justin was actually out on bond at this time for petty crimes.
But the bondsman decides to revoke Justin's bond, which in turn means that police can
now pick him up and take him in one before they could.
Oh, wow. Because they didn't have enough evidence.
I figured out that I think, well, the detective kind of said that he thinks the bondsman did this
because when he found out that he was a suspect and a missing girl, if he did do it,
there was no way he was going to get the money.
So he was like, I'm revoking the bonds.
Oh, okay.
Police stopped Justin on the way home from a bingo game with his mother and sister in the car.
While Justin is taken into custody, another team is searching the Thurbers family house.
During which, Justin's father says that he did in fact pick up his son the night of the disappearance out by the lake
because he had been deserted there with his friends. He claims that when they got home,
Justin threw all of his clothes in the washer and his dad had even helped him wash off his muddy
shoes with the hose. So his dad was like, yeah, we got home and his clothes were all muddy,
so he threw them immediately in the washer and had me wash his shoes outside with the hose.
I mean, that seems a little abnormal to me. When I get home, I feel like I could be totally wrong,
but I feel like I don't just throw my clothes close and maybe if they were like especially muddy I would yeah also
he's older and so I think it's weird that the dad was like helping him like oh yeah take
your clothes off let's get him in the washer I'll take your shoes out and I'll wash them
out you know what I'm saying yeah police sees all of the clothes his blue Cadillac and
Justin's cell phone
Sunday January 7th. So this is kind of where I'm saying it's only Sunday and
All of this has already taken place like they are that's so crazy And the funny thing is is I hate watching CSI Miami because
They start the show in in close right and then at the end of the day
They're in the same clothes because they pretend
all of the DNA testing and all of everything
that happened happened in one day.
They opened and closed a case in one day.
And it drives me nuts,
but we're literally only on day three
and they are already collecting this guys clothes.
Like it's insane.
That's so good though.
It is.

of the wildlife area. Meanwhile, Justin is denying the crap out of everything in his police
interviews. He will not confess to anything. CSI examined the cell phone, sneakers, and
clothes that was collected from Justin's family's house and find nothing that they can use.
They move on to Justin's car and seem to find no evidence there either.
Bummed out, they try a new approach.
They go back to the Sandar Holmes residence, Jody's family, and search the surrounding
area.
This is when they discover a lone footprint in the mud across from
Jody's house near her mailbox. No way. I would have never see. I would never
thought to do this. Me either. If I didn't find any evidence in the car or his
clothes. Well, especially day three, I wouldn't already be like, okay, now let's go on a
plan D. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Like they're just moving so fast. Wow.
Understanding that this shoe print could literally lead them nowhere, they cast it anyways
and take it in.
Investigators check the shoe print and compare it to Justin's collected sneakers and think
that it's a match visibly it looks like a match.
Justin had stood outside of Jody's house recently.
A tracking team is sent back out to the wildlife area near where Justin had been picked up
that night by his dad and they find more shoe impressions in mud that visibly looks like a match
to Justin's as well. They begin expertly tracking the shoe print through the wildlife area and
stumble upon what looks to be another set of shoe prints that is noticeably smaller. It looks as if
it was a flip-flop shoe print, which is what Jody was reported to have been
wearing the day she went missing.
Her dance team friend said she left wearing flip flops.
So here's the thing, the police didn't notice these tracks because they brought in an expert
tracking team who was able like our trackers who go through and find a shoe print and it
tells them what direction to go next and then they find another one and then they find another.
I think it's gonna creepy that there was a shoe print so close to the house.
Mm-hmm. And now far away in the wildlife area where he was picked up. Yeah. Exactly.
They track the prints all the way down to an area near the river but still no Jodi is found. They end up finding over 70 shoe prints in the area
that visibly match Justin's shoes
and on their way back at the end of the day,
they decide to pull off and quickly search the area
that Justin's dad had picked him up that night once again.
So they finished tracking all the shoe prints
and then as they're driving back,
like they're like, okay, nights over,
we haven't found much, we're gonna head back. They end up passing the area where
Justin said his dad picked him up and they go, okay, let's just pull off and search it
again one more time. Let's see if we can find anything here.
It's got to be so frustrating for authorities because they know if they don't find any concrete
evidence like this case is dead. Dead. yes. There was a restroom area nearby
where the tracking team notices
dirt transfer on the pavement,
which cops would have never noticed.
So they are like looking at the ground
and they notice that there's some loose dirt,
meaning that it was carried in by shoes.
They head into the women's bathroom,
following the dirt transfer into a stall
where they abruptly stop. In the basin of the toilet.
Well, it's not that bad. Okay. In the basin of the toilet. Oh, see, guys, he's heard way too many of these stories.
He's preparing for the worst. Right now. The bottom of the toilet was someone's male.
Like, it's not toilet paper or anything. They look down and it's like, male. Oh, her male was missing.
It's not toilet paper or anything, they look down and it's like mail.
Oh, but her mail was missing.
Yes.
They look closer and confirm that it was Brian and Cindy Sanderhomes mail, Jody's parents that was thrown inside the bottom of this toilet
in the wildlife area where Justin was picked up by his dad the same day that she
went missing. Holy crap.
So I know we're going to get more into it, but his
dad has to be involved. Has to be. I mean, I would assume so, but I would think so.
Okay, I'm interested. Let's keep going. You're interested? I'm interested in that call.
Okay. So this team calls law enforcement because they're obviously not law enforcement,
who send out a CSI team to examine the area.
They dig through the rest of the toilets and find a blue flip flop and a red, Crowley
College Tigerette jacket.
Oh, man.
They dig deeper into the toilets.
These are like the toilets that don't flush.
It's just like a really deep hole.
It's like a porta-potty.
Yes.
They're just digging crap out of these toys.
They find Jody's wallet, her dance shoes, and even her car floor mat in those toilets in the
restroom. Even with all of this evidence, police know that they should not prosecute without a
body. The search for Jody has turned into the recovery for her body and everyone kind of knows it.
Police contact a search and rescue organization and ask if they can help in the search of the water
because they believe that's where Jodi's car is. This search team gets into the water with a high
tech-sonor scanning system and as like almost immediately after they pull out in their boat, they find
Jody's car in the water. Like it wasn't. It was just like driven into the water.
I think it's crazy that in 2007, we've had this type of technology. And now 13 years later,
I can't even imagine what we have now. I'm going to throw in this little tidbit that the guy
who ran the,
because they had to ask like a special search and rescue team
to come do this, they didn't do it themselves.
And the guy who ran it, his own daughter had been abducted
and murdered before.
And so then he got into this as a volunteer search and rescue
to help when it's needed.
And then he found her car.
Good for him, that's so awesome.
Yeah.
While all of this is happening, footwear examiners are brought in to fully examine all of the
prints that were found, and they positively ID both the shoe prints to Justin and Jody.
And while that is happening, a fingerprint is being lifted from the mail found in the toilet
that is a match to Jody's, which tells investigators that she had in fact made it
from the school to her house that day,
picked up the mail, but never made it inside
to set it down on her kitchen counter,
which is why his shoe print is at her mailbox
because he followed her.
Oh, right.
So she was almost home.
Yes, he followed her from her college dance practice to her house.
She gets out of her car to get her mail and he attacks her.
No way. Yes. That makes me so mad. She was home. I mean, she was in the driveway. Well, it was like a
cross. So her mailbox was like a cross the street from her driveway. So she would like pull her
car up to the mailbox and then turn into her. Gosh dang it, that sucks. And while that is all happening,
a different set of investigators continue to search the wildlife area, where one of them
finally tells the others that he's found her. Jody's hand was sticking out of some branches not far off the path. Lieutenant McCaslin approaches the body and calls the police force to deliver the news.
Jody was nude, covered in bruises, and police quickly processed and removed her in order to give some respect.
Investigators begin lifting hairs and fibers from Jody's recovered car.
Out of all of the evidence collected from the car, one arm hair was tested and matched back to Justin Thurbers.
So they get this car that's been sitting in the water for four days. It's recovered after four days.
They collect hairs, fibers. I mean, imagine what's in this car. They test all of it. They find one arm hair
Test it against Justin and it matches. I don't know if any of our listeners are authorities But that is that's unbelievable unbelievable. I just straight mind blowing
The ME determines that the cause of death was strangulation and blunt force trauma
She was sexually assaulted and Justin's skin was found underneath her fingernails, which means she fought back obviously.
The analysis of Justin's phone pings is finally sent over and his phone was peeing around the wildlife area that day.
Justin followed Jody home from practice that day and once she parked to get her mail, like she did every day, Justin attacked her.
He pushed her back into her own car and drove her out to the car wildlife area.
He did what he did, which you guys can look up for more detail.
It's definitely gruesome.
I'm not going into that here.
He then disposed of her body and her car through some of her stuff into the restroom where
he then called his dad to pick him up, told him a lie that him and his friends had been stranded or according to you had him help.
Oh, I feel bad now.
It was completely wrong.
Well, I mean, you have to, you, I mean, the police could be thinking that you know what
I'm saying?
I mean, there's no evidence of it, but I didn't even, that didn't even cross my mind.
But now that I'm like, he went home and helped him, I could totally see why that would cross
you.
Yes, I'm still a true crime, noob. And then after his dad picked him up the next day, he went and played Bingo with his
mom and sister.
So he just lied, he'd completely just lied to his dad.
Yeah.
And then just, it just boggles my mind that they just go on.
Like I'm gonna go play Bingo.
Can you imagine him playing Bingo after just doing that?
I guess I assume because there has been cases where parents
help the kids, I assume,
well maybe he just told his dad and his dad's like,
right, let's just.
Oh, completely, completely.
And we do know that it is hard for parents to,
like, you know, it is hard.
Could you imagine? You can't even imagine.
Also, me like jumping to conclusions like that
goes to show you how many times in cases
people probably jump to conclusions, right?
And blame people before we even know, well, anything is you didn't have the full
evidence. Obviously, I knew the outcome of the story before I started reading the
story. Does that make sense? Totally.
Justin is brought to trial on February 2nd, 2009.
So two years after there was like a whole bunch
of delays like we always see. But he has no chance of getting out of this one. All kinds
of evidence is out there to put him away.
The jury deliberates for only three and a half hours after a seven-day trial before coming
back with a guilty verdict of Capitol murder. On March 20, 2009, Justin Thurber is sentenced to death
by lethal injection for the rape and murder of Jody.
Because of this, he sits now in a cell
for 23 hours a day, getting out for only one hour by himself
because he can't be near people because he's on death row and he's just awaiting his sentence.
I didn't know that about death row.
It's not like that everywhere.
This is just in the prison that he's in is that way.
Is it a state law or is it a prison law?
You're not sure.
Yeah, I'm not sure on that one because I do know that there's places where death row
inmates can interact with other people.
But the detective specifically said that he
is in lockdown 23 hours a day, gets out with a guard by himself doesn't get to interact with him.
I'm glad you got caught. That's just absolutely horrible. And especially with the gruesome details
of the case, you know, you can look up if you want. It was it was just horrific, completely
uncalled. Like, I can't even wrap my mind around it.
And I said this 10 minutes in,
I was gonna be so pissed if it was him
because he was already stalking all of them.
Like, that's just, that sucks.
That's just, sucks is a bad word to you.
That's just horrible.
Like, that's just, ugh.
You're just reading my notes line for line right now.
I really said that it was an extremely violent case
and that immediately Jody's team knew off the bat that Justin was a creep
Who stalked them and he that that was the first person they said and if you remember they said he's a little creepy because they thought
He was harmless just a harmless weirdo who just looks at us. Well, and I was gonna say that too
What he was doing petty crimes, right? Yeah, to jump from petty crimes to something like that seems super drastic super drastic. Yeah. To torture and kill somebody. It just seems very, very drastic. Yeah.
Jody's law was created after all of this, which allows for police departments to get involved
earlier in stalking cases, which I think is great because like I said, they truly just thought he
was an innocent groupie who was a little creepy and like to watch them
But he was literally planning out a murder for one of the girls. It's so scary. I
watched the videos of Jody cheering at the games
You know, which is like what I did and my heart just breaks for her and her family because these stories are about real people
And I truly hope that Jody knows that we the love that we breaks for her and her family because these stories are about real people.
And I truly hope that Jody knows the love that we have for her.
So I was just going to say that.
I think the reason I quote unquote hate true crime is because when you're telling these
stories, sometimes it's hard for me not to go, it's like this, like her parents are still
alive.
Like these are real people.
Like that.
Totally.
And that's the hard thing is it's like, I am.
And obviously you're, you're hopefully both.
We're both very respectful to it.
Well, and I think, you know, from the beginning of time,
there has been a fascination with darkness.
There is that there's no denying that the human brains,
like are obviously some of us are formed to be fascinated
by the stuff, but it doesn't mean that we support
or love killing or murder or all of that.
You know what I'm saying?
Which you crime was more than just that, right?
It's the psychology behind it.
Collegiate, man.
It's what the authorities can do
and how they can measure DNA and all that.
It's not just the killing.
Exactly. Which is why I don't focus a. It's not just the killing. Exactly.
Which is why I don't focus a lot of the attention on the killing.
Which I'm not saying it's bad to focus the attention on killing,
because that is a fascination as well.
But for me, it's more of the psychology,
which is why we focus on the psychology.
But my just saying is, I hope after you guys
listen to these stories that you keep positive energy,
that you tell your loved ones, you love them,
that you understand that these are real life stories, and that this is horrible things.
And you, I mean, for me, whether you pray, you meditate, whatever it is you do, keep
these people in your thoughts and prayers.
Like we, we tell these stories to spread awareness.
So now, tonight, use it as a positive force, you know what I'm saying?
No, I agree.
And just again, we wanted to say thank you to everyone who's listening and everyone who So now, tonight, use it as a positive force, you know what I'm saying? No, I agree.
