Episode 104 Annie Kasprzak

The Murder in My Family | Best True Crime Podcasts | AbJack Entertainment
 

Annie Kasprzak was a product of the foster system, being bounced around as a child. But when she was adopted by the Kasprzak family, things began to look up for her and she finally had the solid foundation of a family to love and protect her. But when her adoptive parents divorced, the shakeup within the family coupled with typical teenager issues caused some rebellion in Annie.

When Annie was 15, she began dating a boy around her age named Chris Bagshaw. Annie thought that they were in love and soon, she began to tell her close friends that she was pregnant and wanted to run away with Chris. Then one day, she vanished from her Draper, Utah home leaving a note behind. As her frantic parents worked with police, the body of a young girl was pulled out of the Jordan river and was quickly determined to be Annie. She had been severely beaten and tossed into the water.

Police suspected Annie’s boyfriend Chris early on, but after being given a tip by a supposed witness, they went in a different direction. When the tip proved to be bogus info, investigators came back to Chris, and this time they found crucial evidence implicating him in the murder of his girlfriend.

Ultimately, he was found guilty and sent to prison. Annie’s family was left to wonder what the future may have had in store for Annie if she had the chance to flourish with the support of a loving family. Instead, Annie’s life was cut short by someone who supposedly cared for her. Annie’s mom Veronica discusses this sad and tragic case in this episode.
