New Episode of True Crime News The Podcast Unpacks the Fatal Obsession Behind the Angela Risi Murder
This week, True Crime News The Podcast releases a compelling deep dive into a disturbing case of rejection turned deadly. Hosts Ana Garcia and Rachel Fiset dissect the investigation and subsequent conviction of Stephen Dubose, who fatally shot Angela Risi following a dispute over the status of their relationship. The episode, available now on all major streaming platforms, analyzes the tragic sequence of events that unfolded when Risi refused Dubose’s demand for an “exclusive relationship.”
The case centers on the fatal incident in Columbiana, Alabama, where authorities discovered Risi deceased. While the prosecution successfully argued that Dubose acted out of rage and entitlement after being rejected, the legal proceedings revealed a complex defense strategy. Dubose’s legal team initially attempted to characterize the shooting as accidental, suggesting a struggle over the weapon or an intervention during a self-harm attempt. However, inconsistencies in the forensic evidence and witness testimony regarding Dubose’s possessive behavior painted a starkly different picture for the jury.
Garcia and Fiset provide listeners with background on the prosecutorial strategy that dismantled Dubose’s claims, highlighting the digital footprint and behavioral patterns that proved intent. The hosts explore the broader implications of intimate partner violence triggered by rejection, offering a sobering look at how “no” became a fatal trigger word in this relationship.
