▓▒░ Who Shot Liz Barraza?

Grab a coffee, or whatever your favorite true-crime drink might be, and let’s get into the details of the Liz Barraza Case.

Liz Barraza was just setting up a garage sale in Tomball, Texas when a truck pulled up. Minutes later, she would be laying in her driveway, unable to respond.

On this day, someone knew exactly when Liz's husband would leave for work, knew Liz would be there and knew she would be having a garage sale that day. The lead investigator calls the timing of this crime "impeccable."

Hi! Hello! I’m Kristine.
You might know me from Beach House 34, but the podcast/vodcast is evolving. Welcome to TrueCrime.fm.

I’ve always done the heavy lifting and the deep research, but the old name just wasn't cutting it anymore. This new name fits the mission. Don't you think?

No fluff, no theories—just the facts, from start to finish. I’m glad you’re here for the next chapter. I’ll see you soon.
