Episode 45; Architect Mayhem David Michael Bolasky and Mhlengi Gwala

Hello, and thank you for stopping back in for Week 45! We are sharing two brutal and maddening crimes against two amazing men this week, so get set to hear their stories. Beth is first with the 8th Installment of Architect Mayhem, and in this case the Architect was Allentown, PA's David Michael Bolasky. David was an accomplished Architect and all-around great human who was brutally killed in 1995 by a bunch of incompetent fools. The circumstances of his murder are especially sickening because there was no way the perpetrators could have really thought they had any chance to get away with it. They destroyed an amazing person for absolutely nothing. Bailey, as she does, will take us through a truly horrific crime against a South African triathlete. Mhlengi Gwala was taking life one day at a time and doing what he could to find health and happiness for himself and his two daughters. This crime was so cruel and monstrous that it's a miracle he survived and a credit to his inner strength that he came back from it stronger than before. Mhlengi is a billboard for the human spirit. These are both rough stories, but you'll leave feeling good about the capacity of a person to embrace life on his own terms and make the most of every minute he has. Have a seat by the fireplace, we'll be right in with spiked cocoa and don't worry. You're safe in here with us, Crime Family.
