Crimehub: A True Crime Podcast

An au pair returned to collect forgotten lunches, only to find a stranger lurking in the driveway. A true crime nightmare.

On February 24th, 2023, Juliana Perez Magalhães arrived back at the Banfield home, leaving four-year-old Valerie waiting in the car. What should have been a quick trip to retrieve forgotten items led to a terrifying discovery involving an unfamiliar man and a scene that would soon become the center of a major au pair case.

Investigators pieced together the sequence of events using a mobile phone, surveillance imagery, and physical evidence recovered from the home. From the closet to the driveway, every piece of criminal evidence helped authorities reconstruct the violence that left behind a gruesome crime scene investigation.

A wealthy Malibu doctor welcomed two strangers into his home, believing they were there to help him. Instead, they gained control of his finances, isolated him from his family, and watched through surveillance cameras as his condition deteriorated. By the time he was found dead, millions of dollars were missing—and the people he trusted most were at the center of it all.

Lola Daviet had made the same ten-minute walk home from school dozens of times, and on October 14th, 2022, she arrived at her apartment building right on time.

Three friends drove away from a quiet house before sunrise, but just six minutes later, their car struck a brick wall at more than 100 miles per hour—killing two of them while the teenage driver survived. She insisted she had blacked out and remembered nothing about the crash. But the wrecked car had recorded its final 4.75 seconds, and what investigators found turned an apparent accident into something far more disturbing.
