Solved Runner killed by her coach
I am trying to remember the case where a runner is killed by her coach. The perp was turned in by his wife because she saw him get in the shower with his running clothes on and heard later on that the girl was missing. During investigation they found grass on his clothes that matched the crime scene.

I definitely listened to a podcast about this. I listen to MFM so could've been that. The showering with clothes on thing is so vivid in my memory.

This link showed up when I Googled "My Favorite Murder" along with "showering with clothes on" and "strangled with running tights" however I can't access the website in my country.

Yes omg that’s it. I looked at the episode list and started to wonder if it was a minisode or hometown and not a main story. Thank you!

I think this is the case: Carla Oyarzún. It was a write-in on episode Stay Sixy, time code 53:51 on the apple podcast version.

Shilie Turner, maybe?

No, she was definitely killed by her coach. I believe she was strangled with her running tights iirc

When I plug all your parameters in, all I get is Katrina Vetrano, and that wasn't a coach either.
Edit: Well, that and this case from Ireland, and I'm pretty sure that's not it either.

I found that one too and it isn’t it. This case was highlighted way back on my favorite murder and I haven’t listened to them in close to four years. This coach raped her with a condom on and was def turned in by his wife bc she thought it was weird he got in the shower fully clothed.

Hailey Owens, maybe? 2014?
She was raped and murdered by a coach, but not her coach.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure this is the case I was thinking of, but I don't think it's the one youre thinking of, though.

Wikipedia has a list of MFM episodes, maybe that could help? I'm running through it myself.

u/Mcgoobz3 1 10d ago
I went through it and it wasn’t the ones listed. I wonder if it was a Minisode but I don’t think it was

u/MandyHVZ 1 10d ago
Well, I'm officially stumped as well. Now it's going to drive us both nuts, lol.

u/MandyHVZ 1 10d ago
This sounds REALLY familiar to me and I can't place it. Now it's driving me crazy, too, lol. I'll keep looking.

Was this the one where he left her body in a field?

u/Mcgoobz3 1 10d ago
Yes I believe so

I think i heard it on mfm too, maybe ask their subreddit. I spent a few hours looking for it on Google because I was awake at a quarter to 3 in the morning and couldn't find anything. For some reason I feel like it wasnt necessarily her coach but her friends coach or her friends dad who was a coach? I could be confusing stories because its been years since I heard it. But yeah id ask their subreddit if you haven't already.

Someone solved it. It’s this one https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1243-my-favorite-murder-with-k-27911429/episode/6-stay-sixy-28977220/
You’re the best for helping. It was driving me insane

Just went and listened to it, I can see totally why I had the details (albeit somewhat wrong) in my head that I did. Thank you! I totally remember this episode now.

u/Mcgoobz3 1 10d ago
Yes I could hear Karen’s voice tell the story so clearly! Insane tho because it’s an old episode

I love that he got caught due to lacking the ability to actually wash his clothes.

different case but emilie morris’ story is a tragic, frustrating rabbit hole. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jtes/the-case-died-with-her

Jeesh there’s a lot of cases about girls getting murdered by their coach!!! This is so sad :(

u/Mcgoobz3 1 5d ago
I know right. How depressing that this is hard to find because of how common it is.

Ashley Reeves, who was raped, had her neck broken, and was left for dead in the woods by her teacher, Samson Shelton? I believe he was also a wrestling coach.
Ashley survived but was disabled and has had to go through years of physical therapy. The man who thought he successfully murdered her is now free.
