Case 106: Buried Secrets, The Bonnie Haim Murder

Burden of Proof

23-year-old Bonnie Haim, a young mother from Jacksonville, Florida, mysteriously disappeared in January of 1993. Initially a missing person's case, detectives' suspicion of foul play arose quickly with Michael Haim, Bonnie's Husband, at the center of the investigation. Bonnie had been preparing to leave her marriage and making plans to start a new life with their young son, Aaron.

The case went cold for over two decades, until a shocking discovery in 2014. This episode dives into the years of mystery, the unraveling of the case, and the emotional toll on Aaron, who had always believed his father was guilty.

Tune in as Elysia reveals how justice was finally served and sends shivers down Savannah's spine with the words of a child.
