True Texas Crime: The Significant Life of Angela Stevens

True Texas Crime: The Significant Life of Angela Stevens

Actress Julie Dove (Days of our Lives, Birdgirl) shares how her small hometown of Princeton, Texas, changed forever on July 7, 1988, when 16-year-old Angela Stevens was savagely beaten, murdered, and left in an empty field by three local young men. Whispers around town were more about how those boys ruined their lives in one night than about a young girl’s life lost. But what about Angela’s life, who is to blame; her murderers, the town that quickly and quietly moved on, or a justice system that washes away victims, and has anything really changed? Angela’s family and friends will share her story for the first time and how they survived, but never recovered. 2025 Webby Award Winner Best Indie Podcast - Limited Run People’s Voice Best Indie Podcast - Limited Run
