This episode covers the tragic case of Kaye Mandad, who died from blunt force trauma after a night out with her boyfriend Mark Howton. Key discussions include the events leading up to her hospitalization, the medical examiner's findings, and the subsequent trials faced by Howton.

Kaye Mandad, a 19-year-old college student, was found in critical condition after a night at a music festival. Her boyfriend, Mark Howton, claimed they had taken ecstasy and that she passed out after consensual sex. Unfortunately, Kaye was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.

The medical examiner ruled her death as a result of blunt force trauma to the head and face, leading to Howton's arrest. The first trial in 2019 ended in a mistrial when the jury could not reach a verdict.

In preparation for Howton's second trial in 2023, Kaye's stepfather Lawrence Baand and mother Allison Steel took on investigative roles to seek justice for their daughter.

TLDR

Kaye Mandad died from blunt force trauma; her boyfriend Mark Howton faces trials for her death.
