Paranoid Woman Thinks She's Being Kidnapped, Shoots Uber Driver In the Head

In this episode, Stacy and Carol explore the tragic case of Phoebe Copas, a Kentucky woman who has been charged with murder for fatally shooting her Uber driver in El Paso, Texas. Copas claimed she believed the driver was kidnapping her and taking her to Mexico, which led to the mistaken shooting. However, authorities have found no evidence to support these claims or any deviation from Copas's intended destination. We discuss the speculation surrounding the influence of negative assumptions about the southern U.S. border on Copas's state of mind, while also hearing from Daniel Piedra Garcia's niece, who shares that he enjoyed his work as an Uber driver and was excited to meet new people.
