She Agreed to Final Dinner with Ex; He Assaulted & Murdered Her | Samantha Mickleburgh Case
Season 6
Published 1 week ago
Description
After ending her engagement, Samantha Mickleburgh thought she was doing one final act of kindness.
She agreed to spend a birthday weekend with her ex-fiancé, James Cartwright, before moving on with her life.
The next morning, Samantha was dead.
What initially appeared to be a tragic and unexplained death inside a luxury hotel room quickly became a murder investigation. As detectives dug into the couple's relationship, they uncovered allegations of obsession, control, jealousy, and a man who refused to accept that the relationship was over.
This episode breaks down the death of Samantha Mickleburgh, the evidence that contradicted James Cartwright's story, and the trial that exposed what prosecutors called a web of lies.
AFTER SHOW AVAILABLE ON PATREON
When emergency responders arrived at a Georgia home for a report of an unresponsive toddler, they expected to investigate a medical emergency.
Instead, investigators say they discovered six children living in conditions so disturbing that every room inside the house became part of the investigation. The oldest child, only 10 years old, was allegedly left to care for five younger siblings for hours without food while their mother was away.
This episode examines the heartbreaking death of one-year-old, the allegations against his mother, and the disturbing history investigators say existed long before police arrived that morning.
