A 28-year-old Woman Strangled with Her Bikini - Full Story

This extended true crime narration reconstructs the August 2015 murder of Crystal Caralea Pifer, a twenty eight year old mother from Daytona Beach who was beaten and strangled after a stalled boat trip on Florida's Halifax River with her boyfriend, Thomas Anthony Prins. It follows the case from her desperate plea to a stranger in a dinghy and the two 911 calls through the discovery of her body, the interrogation, the forensic and medical findings, and the background audio of an ignition key that dismantled Prins's account at trial. Interwoven with a companion study of the scene and its aftermath and a closing examination of the people connected to the crime, it ends with Prins's conviction and sentence of life without parole, and with reflections on domestic violence, bystander courage, and the evidence that gave Crystal's death a verdict.
