Ep. 58 The Murder of Peter Porco

FEBRUARY TOPIC: LISTENER'S CHOICE 

Check out Buzz Killers every Sunday for new episodes! A proud podcast of the Podmoth Media Network. 

 

In episode fifty eight, we discuss the tragic murder of Peter Porco. Monday, November 15, 2004, a coworker arrived at the Porco home to perform a welfare check when Peter did not arrive at work, and discovered a grisly scene. Peter Porco laid dead in the hallway of his Delmar, NY home, and his wife, Joan, lay mortally wounded in their master bedroom. The weapon? A 3 foot axe that belonged to the family. As the investigation went on, police would find more and more evidence implicating someone they never would've expected. And the reasoning for this horrific act would shock an entire community to its core. 

 

For this episode we drank Drops of Jupiter Sauvignon Blanc, a collaboration between Pat Monahan, lead singer of the Grammy winning band, Train, and winemaker James Foster. Visit the Save Me, San Francisco Wine Company for more information about their selection.
