Culpable (podcast)

In February 2014, Christian Andreacchio left his job on a tugboat, was picked up by Dylan Swearingen, and went to confront his girlfriend, Whitley Goodman, about her alleged cheating.[1] Andreacchio was found dead in his apartment on February 26, 2014, in Meridian, Mississippi. After a brief investigation, the police ruled Andreacchio's death a suicide.[4][6] He was found in the bathtub with a gunshot wound to the head.[7] Andreacchio's mother, Rae Andreacchio, questioned the police's conclusion due to evidence that emerged showing it may have been a homicide.[8] Swearingen and Goodman were both in the apartment with Andreacchio, and had arrest warrants which were never fulfilled by the Meridian Police Department.[7] The gun was found near Christian's left leg, but he was right handed.[7] Additionally, Rae claims that Christian once told her, "Mom, if anybody ever tells you I killed myself, you come looking—because I wouldn’t do that."[8] In 2017, a jury did not indict two people who were connected to Andreacchio's death.[8][5] Andreacchio's family hired a private investigator, Sheila Wysocki, to investigate the case.[3] In August 2019 a district prosecutor announced that she was willing to reopen the case should new evidence come to light.[8][1] In November 2019, the Meridian City Council asked the United States Department of Justice to investigate the city's handling of Andreacchio's case.[8]
