Whiteside case: Hospital worker killed in girlfriend's botched plot to mug him for drug money

This week on True Crime Daily The Podcast: Author and former detective Danny Smith joins host Ana Garcia for our "My Favorite Case" series. Smith spent 21 years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, seven years as a homicide detective. Now he's a private investigator and consultant, and he's the author of the Dickie Floyd Detective Novel series. Smith's new book "Nothing Left to Prove: A Law Enforcement Memoir" tells the stories of some of the cases from his days on the job, including the 2003 murder of William Whiteside, a hospital maintenance worker in California. Whiteside's burned corpse was found in the trunk of his car two weeks after going missing. His live-in girlfriend was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Her 16-year-old son, the son's 14-year-old friend and an ex-convict were also convicted.
