Episode 02: A Performance to Remember (Pt. 2)

Hey there, susters! It's Ande and Amethyst, back with the next installment of our gripping podcast, "Super SUS." In our second episode, we dive deeper into the chilling case of Julie Kibuishi and Sam Herr—a case that continues to unravel with unexpected twists and turns.

Picking up from where we left off, a movie-like manhunt led us to the doorstep of a seemingly unlikely suspect, Daniel Wozniak. A well-loved figure in the Orange County Community Theater, Dan’s life took a dark turn as he was shockingly implicated in the murders of his friend, Sam and Julie. Our listeners might be as astounded as we were to discover that his arrest took place not on stage, but in the middle of his own bachelor party, mere days before he was set to wed his fiancée, Rachel Buffett.

As the narrative unfolded, we revealed how Dan, once seen as a charismatic actor and friend, confessed to the heinous crimes in a chilling display of deceit and manipulation. His motives, rooted in desperation for money, led him down a path of unspeakable actions, including the dismemberment of his friend Sam—a detail that left us, and likely our audience, reeling.

Throughout the episode, we reflected on the profound impact these stories have—not just on the victims and their families, but on the wider community. True crime tales like these remind us of the importance of awareness and the sobering reality of the world we live in. As we navigate these murky waters, we strive to honor the victims’ stories while providing insights that prompt our listeners to remain vigilant and informed.

This case is a haunting reminder of the darkness that can lurk beneath even the most seemingly ordinary surfaces.
