S8:E8: The Senseless Murder of Mariah Samuels (34) “Unheard Cries”

Minneapolis, MN— 34-year-old Mariah Samuels was a devoted mother to two sons and a beloved pet groomer. She was a woman trying to rebuild her life, protect her peace, and keep her children safe— even while living under the constant shadow of fear. Mariah did what many women are told to do: she spoke up, she asked for help, she documented the danger.

And yet, she was failed by the very system meant to protect her. Who later claimed that Mariah wasn't "afraid enough." 

The tragic murder of Mariah Samuels was not a sudden event, but the devastating conclusion of a foreseeable pattern. Her story is one of fatal control, ignored warnings, and a system that met escalating violence with silence. 

Listen to Season 8: Episode 8 to find out how this horrific case unfolds. 

Rest in Peace - Mariah Samuels 🕊️🙏 and our deepest condolences to her family, friends and community.
