Killed A Prosecutor And Got Away With It 

Hey Payton, I really do appreciate your vulnerability with anxiety. My 14 year old daughter struggles with it daily and I can relate on that level. It's refreshing hearing it discussed so freely. Good job, keep at it!!

I 100% think it was his boss. So sad his case will probably never be solved

I had a mental breakdown last year. Panic attacks lasting for hours on end and then ending sometime in the evening lasted for 3 months. I fully agree that when you have the moments of normalcy it’s such a big win! I love you keep working it will pay off

Wow, absolutely crazy they call it a suicide with defensive wounds and wounds to the back!!! What unjustice!!

Payton, I absolutely love hearing your 10 seconds. It is so comforting knowing that there is someone out there who understands the highs and lows of anxiety. I struggle so much and half the time I just feel like a crazy person. Can't wait to hear more from you.

I’m enjoying your 10 seconds! I used to struggle with anxiety and had a really rough phase where I wondered if I’d ever feel normal again. Today I am so thankful not to be in that hard place anymore. I find a 5 year journal is helpful for reflecting on how far you’ve come and how you’re progressing and growing. It has 5 sections on each page Jan 1-Dec 31 and each day in each section you just write the year. It’s so fun to get to year 5 and each day see what you wrote the same day each previous year. Hope I explained that well 😂. I have one called One Line a Day. I got it on Amazon.

Your ten seconds really got me today. I completely understand how you feel. I appreciate your transparency on your anxiety and struggles. It’s human nature to connect ❤

This is amazing Payton, I love the crime podcast but amongst all your amazing work,it's your open and honest response to you on going mental health that I adore. I have been there some time around my mid twenties I struggled so much, only for the unwavering support from my beautifully kind husband could I reclaim my life and my reality. I'm now a middle aged mom, to busy to listen to the crazy crap my brain wants to load on the daily .. thankfully!! You'll find your way all the way through I don't believe it goes away fully .. obviously because anxiety is essential to keep us alive .. but you come to understand yourself and anxiety alot more. I would love a live conversation or a anxiety based podcast..talking about it helps so much and sharing everyone's scary thoughts helps us over come them I think. Be well.

I love the new name of the show! Wow this case is so tragic. It unfortunately reminds me of the Sean Daugherty case that unfortunately is ruled suicide when evidence points to otherwise. I mean not only is it convenient a anonymous source is there to fuel victim blame but 36 wounds for the 36 thousand case makes me think a) the murderer wanted us to think it’s linked to that or b) someone is mad about it. Either way this seemed personal and could be someone he knew because of where the wounds were and maybe even knew about his pocket knife ahead of time. The one person that stands out to me is the boss and briefly looking into it he was fired not to long after Lunas death. Of course I’m just guessing and would like to know more facts like the case left on his desk. If it could have indicated to the perpetrator possibly. I really hope one day his family gets answers

Payton keep your head up girl….wintertime sucks But you are a great storyteller and I literally binge all of your shows❤ Love u girl 😊

It has to be an official…. FBI working hard against the coroner to claim self infliction? $200 withdrawn but left at the scene because they didn’t need it? No real effort in solving this case? Got it!

Thank you so much for covering this case!! I have been waiting for someone to do a video on this story for over a year now So glad it was you!! 😊

Love love loveee your videos but I hate unsolved cases so much. You covered this case so well. I’m loving the longer videos but ofc I could always want more time to listen to your voice. I watch them while I’m at work. I literally “binged” all your videos when I found the page and I keep myself waiting for a new video every week

I just had a mental breakdown Sunday night and the person I took it out on was my fiancé… the man who I love the most in this world. My lows have been so bad this year, but he has been the best of my highs always being there for me. When you mentioned your good times with Garrett, I immediately related ❤

Love the new cover art! Love the revamp! Thanks so much for your amazing content🩷🩷

So excited for another episode with Payton!! So here for Into the Dark

Absolutely I can relate with how you’re feeling. Hang in there Payton , you got this ❤

When I was going thru a deep depression and really low point in my life….. I told myself to appreciate this moment in life bc for however bad it gets or you feel is also how good it can be and feel someday…. I look back at that time now and feel a feeling I cannot put into words …if I were to try thu it’d be a mixture of strength, a loving relationship with myself, humble and thankful. Hope your anxiety gets better and I appreciated ur honest words in ur 10 seconds!!

Payton. If you are open to acupuncture. I suggest getting an aggressive energy treatment from your practitioner .we’re not always able to process our emotions and so they process us. This will help get rid of some of those emotions that you’re not able to process out. I have been struggling with crippling anxiety for the past three months. It’s one of my staples that helps me just take the edge off. If you like it I suggest trying it for a few months. 1. Emotion release therapy- tapping 2. Win hoff breathing’s / cold showers. Some of these things help instantly some I have seen results overtime. Last suggestion is change your lighting to something more soothing like blue or green instead of the pink. I hope that helps. I wish you inner peace.

I really appreciate u talking about your anxiety-its makes me feel less alone

Wow, that IA sad. There was a case were multiple prosecuters where killed in Kaufman, tx at different times before the killer was thankfully caught. Peyton, go look into that case. We as a community was like what the heck.

Love you and this revamped version of Binged! Anything you do is bound to be great!!

I relate to this so much ❤ you got this girl!

100% hear you re high and lows!! Keep going it’s so tough!

I really like your 10 secs Payton. I was just giving myself a pep talk the other day. Telling myself I feel so positive I gotta remind myself to keep this mindset even at my lowest. Really appreciate your message. ❤

Enjoyed this episode. I like the new name and format. Daisy's presence is oddly soothing, when discussing tragic circumstances.

Daisy looks almost identical to my Bella. I listen to you all the time and was so excited when you guys got her. ❤

I have felt exactly like you described in your 10 seconds. I was diagnosed with bipolar, medicated and now I feel like a new person!

Oh Payton! I know what you mean about the high highs and the really low lows. Know what I think? I think that’s NORMAL. Don’t be too hard on yourself on those low days, I think it can be healthy and cathartic at times. You’re doing the best you can, and that is something amazing. You’re wonderful. ❤️ Thanks for being vulnerable and open, and thank you for another excellent episode!

Payton, your thumbnails are perfect. Don’t change a thing and ignore ignorant haters.

Thank you for opening up in your 10 seconds. I totally relate to that I never thought it was because of my anxiety (more so thought the depression did it) so it’s really cool that you’ve opened that thought in my head. Thank you for doing what u do ❤

Love the new set features ❤️ I hope you get to absolutely love this channel now

Love the revamp

What bronzer/ highlight do you use? You are glowing!! I myself have anxiety so I can relate with what you said in the beginning! Thanks for another great episode

First Thank you for being here researching and creating this stories for us ❤ Secondy I want you to know you are not alone I struggle daily but I find myself so grateful for a kind word from a customer or project done well, closeness with my family! With all the worries I have, most fears created in my mind things that will not happen when something good happens it is Gold to me and I cherish it making good memories 8 say ❤. I wish you peace on your journey and I know it is hard work but by doing the work (on life) a life you want and deserve will happen ❤ love from 🇨🇦

Your 10 seconds reminded me of myself and my struggle with mental health for the last 20 years. I’ve recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder so I’m wondering if you’re seeing a psychiatrist. Just a thought because my depression and anxiety was never managed well. But since I’ve received the correct diagnosis and treatment I feel the best I have in 20 years. I didn’t think it was possible to feel normal again.

I’m glad you changed the name- Binged is just, too, idk… but I love this name. ❤

i so relate, we're all in it together payton! you're doing great

This is so intriguing

I really like ur show Payton. U tell these things very well ur an easy listen. Ur very real. ❤ Love the new name but I've binging binged since I found you 😆

Love the artwork!

Listen Peyton, my work is exactly 45 mins away. Imma need your videos to be at least 45 mins okayyyyyy?? Thanks for your hard work! ❤️

I have had regular lows interspersed with highs. I thought they were just normal because its all I ever knew. When I was 30 I had what I now know was a mental breakdown. At that point I saw the school psychiatrist. I was crying uncontrollably. They told me I had depression. Then they said I had bipolar. Ive had many people diagnose me of many things but bipolar seems to be what I generally have, even though I also have a lot of anxiety. I have bipolar 2, which is quite hard to diagnose because it is not as obvious as bipolar 1, and, some idiots think it is borderline. It took me ages to finally end up on the right medications and create a stable life for myself. Now, I am quite calm and my bipolar symptoms are minimal. As a person who is not a psychiatrist but has life experience with bipolar because I have it, and, my mother does too, I truly feel that bipolar 2 is about having moods that flip up and down. Yes, my moods could be triggered by real things, but they were definitely extreme. I felt like I was on a roller-coaster that I could not get off of. I believe that this is the demarcation of what bipolar is. If this sounds like you, you might want to talk to a psychiatrist or therapist. I was way off the rails for years but bipolar can absolutely be managed with medication and/or therapy and healthy choices. It took me decades to get better. But it doesn't have to be like that. I just happened to take the slow road.

Definitely smells like a coverup to me.

I feel I'm on the verge of another breakdown which makes my anxiety so much worse. My husband and I were homeless due to covid and I lost my job, now two years later we have an apartment and we have gray jobs, but where we live because we are so "stable," they are saying they won't renew our lease, yet with inflation and rent prices we can't afford just regular rental prices, and can't move to suburbs because transportation would be astronomical to get to and from work. Just gotta stay strong, work hard, and pray!!! Can't win for losing!! Still so grateful to have my life and husband every day!!

hello, just wanted to say the new name hits that part of my brain where it gives me tingles and chills, i think its a amazing change!

Babe you just described BPD 😅

I’m really loving the new stylistic changes!! Keep up the good work!

I totally understand the lows and occasional highs with anxiety! It can feel so uncomfortable, and sombre when you have the odd "good" day ❤ try to be gentle on yourself and up the comfort on the harder days 🌞

I can relate to your 10 seconds, it’s great to bring to light mental health. The victim and family need closure, it is only a matter of time this cold case will be solved by the right detective. Not sure how I feel about the way you concluded this cold case. Perhaps consider using your platform to bring light to cold cases by encouraging your audience to bring forward any information. As you have stated, the murder took place twenty years ago, therefore people’s loyalty changed with time, their is someone who knows something.

I fight anxiety daily.

My theory is that he was involved with sex workers. This crime could have been committed by a woman. He left his office as he would be right back. I think the lure was sex and that is why was able to command him using his own pocket knife and couldn’t roll the car into the water. Also why he got the money out of the ATM. The government would want to keep this hidden because if he was involved in illegal activities all of the cases he worked could be reopened causing them a lot of trouble.

I love love love your revamp! You do you, beautiful woman!

Love the new name, Payton!

You need to look into the Blackwell Ghosts!

I do recall here in Baltimore at the time, the general consensus was that underlying LBGQ issues led to this outcome.

I love you doing a 10 seconds! I struggle with the same high and lows (I think most of us women do) but I always remember that I am not alone AND keep praying! Love your podcasts!!

I deal with that as well and often wonder if I have bipolar. I was started on a med to help!

anxiety is so debilitating i feel you girly 😫

Embrace those lows, they make the highs much better! The ability to bring yourself out of those lows is superhuman like as well. We all go through it, and we deserve the highs that are to come! Push forward everyone. Great ten seconds!!

I have found that my anxiety is actually related to a physical vascular issue…not heart related. Don’t give up on finding answers! Much love!

Wow this case is DEFINITELY sus! I agree with the PI if they wanted to solve it I’d be solved

I really enjoy watching the show, regardless of its name. Although I appreciated the BINGED logo art, I also like the current ITD design. If I may, I would like to suggest that you slow down the fade-out at the end, making it feel like we are fading into the dark rather than a quick turn-off of the lights.

Total cover up. Makes me so mad!!!

based on the Google maps shot you showed, he came through the city I'm in right now. weirddddd

Not going to lie, I honestly liked the “binged” logo and title .

not the detective perspective theme song

Hey Into the Dark. Love you Queen Payton🎉

He did NOT stab himself that many times. 🙄 this is sooo a coverup by the FBI!! love all your episodes I'm a die hard fan❤

Just adding a little comment to bost your post.

you could do payton’s 10 minutes and i’d still listen

Was his boss ever investigated tho? Like to rule him out?, for me it sounds fishy that the government were making it weirder as you said, the government coukd have been covering for Johnathan’s boss.

Such a horrible death 😢

Even reading a few negative (most are positive!) comments on your more than lovely re-vamped show gives ME anxiety. Man even stuff like that can be so hard to deal with sometimes. But I know you know that All that matters is Love

Damn Payton I really felt that 10 seconds as someone struggling theough early sobriety

I wonder if they looked into his boss

Payton! I love your new format and the podcast as it evolves. I know this may be silly bc it depends on the details you have for each case. I love your 10seconds but i also really appreciate that these are a bit shorter episodes (i still love mwmh). Sometimes i get to take a "mom shower" after all my kids are asleep and i appreciate the length of tje episodes not being crazy long. They fit in perfect and i cam finish them. Thank you!!

His boss definitely did this. Seems like they didn’t check a lot or as least try

I love your podcast but I definitely don't like unsolved 😢😢😢

I, 100000% feel that

I’ve had several mental breakdowns in my life. Two within the last two years. Take your time with your mental health. Also, with the case, it seems obvious that it was probably something with his boss.. clearly had it out for him and probably was a racist as well. So sad for his loved ones.

Please tell us if it's unsolved, unsolved crimes make me sad

I liked the beat in the intro tho noooo

Sounds like a cover up to me by the Judicial system he worked for. Thing is it may be never solved here on earth but God knows.

If you don't cycle sync I highly recommend. You have a surge of hormones during ovulation and then the drop incredibly after and you're more likely to feel the lows. Even if you're not trying to get pregnant, ovulation testing is helpful to track your cycle. Ever since I started eating and exercising along with my cycle it's been incredible for my mood!

Earlyyyyy❤ love the revamp.

Why is Peyton speaking soo sloooowly?

I think Jonathan was tortured before being murdered 😢RIP young man 🙏🙏🙏

I think it was a 200 dollar escort and something went wrong, the person frenzy stabbed him got out of the vehicle quickly without the money and then Jonathan drove to the lake by accident got out to check the car and collapsed in the water only to drown to death

It's never as good as it seems, but it's never as bad as it seems. Much love, homies : )

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🤗 🖤

Binged is a much better show name imo

I HATE your 10 seconds.....the whole reason I liked this channel was because you went right into the story with no bullshit! I'm not fan of this new stuff! 😕

Look at that new cover art and pic! Excited for the future here Payton 🩷🩷

Most relatable ten seconds 🥹❤️‍🩹
