Serial Killers & Murderous Minds · Liz Golyar: Obsession, Stalking, and Murder Pt. 2 · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

She left around noon. voice-verified

When she came back at five, Steve was dozing in a chair, and Cody wasn't breathing. voice-verified

Gladys started infant CPR while Steve called 911. voice-verified

Police got there before the ambulance and drove Cody to the hospital in a squad car. voice-verified

Doctors worked on him for hours. voice-verified

He was pronounced dead just after midnight. voice-verified

They listed the cause of death as shaken baby syndrome, which is a term for an abusive head trauma in an infant. voice-verified

At first, the police suspected Liz, and so did Ray. voice-verified

But later, officers questioned Steve, sleep deprived and for the second time in twelve hours. voice-verified

He told them he sometimes tossed Cody in the air to make him laugh and, under pressure, eventually said he'd shaken him once. voice-verified

Police acknowledged afterward that they hadn't started recording until they'd already prompted him. voice-verified

The doctor who examined Cody testified the injuries would have taken 20 seconds or more of violent shaking, and the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome says tossing a baby in the air, while inadvisable, is unlikely to cause them. voice-verified

Steve was charged with second-degree murder anyway. voice-verified

During the trial, Liz testified against Steve. voice-verified

She arrived in a dishwater blonde wig and a floor length skirt. voice-verified

She was a fugitive at the time with two outstanding felony warrants and didn't want to be recognized at the courthouse. voice-verified

On the stand, she read aloud from seven letters she claimed he'd sent her from jail, and the contents were shocking. voice-verified

Not just because he admitted to killing Cody. voice-verified

But because of the extravagant romantic language he used to describe his love for Liz. voice-verified

Gladys never got the chance to testify. voice-verified
