Dead Wax: The June Larimore Project - Episode 004: Junebug

In this episode, the narrative shifts from crime scene geometry to the fragile, living memory of June Larimore, known to her sister as "Junebug". We open the door to her interior world through recovered journals and a poignant Christmas letter, searching for the vibrant spirit eclipsed by her brutal end.

The quiet order of the seemingly “clean” Larimore home begins to warp under scrutiny, revealing strange, peripheral moments that defy belief: recollections of loud music and marijuana smoke, accompanied by an unsettling message left to a pizza delivery driver: “Don’t think I killed anybody because I have to slam the door”. Further dissonance arises with reports detailing Greg Larimore's unnervingly public demeanor in the days following the violence.

As the case moves into the courtroom, the search for truth is distilled into a single, highly contested point: the precise Time of Death (T.O.D.). The State presents a rigid scientific timeline, relying on estimates placing the event in the dark hours of the early morning. However, this timeline faces immediate opposition from world-renowned forensic experts, whose conflicting opinions suggest the time of death occurred significantly later, during a period when the accused maintained an attested alibi.
