Podcast:Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast Published On: Thu Jun 12 2025 Description: When does a mother's protective instinct cross the line into something deadly? This week, we discuss a South Texas mom who took her role as protector to the next level—and the end result was the death of an innocent teenage boy. Joey Fischer was a young man whose life was cut tragically short by a mother who believed she was defending her family. But was it really self-defense, or did fear and paranoia lead to the killing of an innocent person? This case raises difficult questions about parental protection, and what happens when someone mistakes an innocent teenager for a threat. We explore the circumstances that led to Joey's death, the mother's justification for her actions, and whether justice was truly served. When protection becomes paranoia, who pays the price?
