81. Making Noise: The Murder of Lori McConnell
“All my mom could think about while this was happening, was to get his DNA under her nails. Because she thought he was going to kill her that night.”
After years of being terrorized by her abusive boyfriend, 53-year-old Lori McConnell made a plan and left him in June of 2018. She asked her daughter Lora to promise to make some noise if anything ever happened.
Emerson “John” Tohafjian made it clear that if he couldn’t have Lori, nobody would. And on July 10th, 2018, he kept his promise.
Tune in to hear from my special guest, Lora Bennett, who tells her mother’s story.
