Serialously with Annie Elise
226: Love, Lies, and Murder: A Valentine’s Day Turned Deadly
Thu, 26 Dec 2024
In place of our regularly schedule Headline Highlights episode, I have decided to give you all a mini case deep dive. Richard Schoeck thought he was meeting his wife for a romantic Valentine’s Day gift exchange at a secluded park, but instead, he was ambushed and shot five times, including twice in the face. Investigators quickly uncovered a web of secrets, including an affair and mysterious tire tracks at the scene that hinted someone had been lying in wait. But as the clues unraveled, they revealed a shocking betrayal that no one saw coming.

Full Episode
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. And today's a little bit different. We've got headline highlights every Thursday, you know that. We do our case deep dives every Monday.
But today, we're going to do a little bonus-esque type episode because it's the day after Christmas. I don't know if you're with your family, if you're having some alone time, if you're running around with chaotic children, whatever it is you're doing. But today, we're going to do a little bonus-esque type episode. But I wanted to jump on and give you a little bit longer of a case.
And I was going to hold this one back because, I mean, it's not really tis the season. It's more Valentine's Day skewed. But we're going to do it differently this week. We're going to do one single case, a mini deep dive into it, and then we will be back next week with all the headline highlights, everything going on, and go through it from there.
But I wanted to just do things a little bit different this week. I hope you all had a great holiday with your family, regardless what holidays you celebrate. Hopefully, even if you're not celebrating, you're having some downtime and some time to focus on yourself or be with your loved ones. And yeah, so let me jump right in.
In 2010, 38-year-old Stacy and 46-year-old Richard Sheck seemed like the picture-perfect married couple. They lived in a beautiful home in Snellville, Georgia, with their three children, a 19-year-old named Doug, who went by DJ, a 13-year-old named Keith, and a 7-year-old named Kevin.
Though nobody would have ever guessed it, unless they knew the Schechs, that all three boys weren't biologically Richards. But again, you would never know that because of how attentive and close he was with these boys. Now, while it was the first time being married for Richard, it was actually the fifth time being married for Stacy.
Stacy was born in 1971, and she was raised in Florida until she was three years old, and that's when her family moved to Atlanta, Georgia. When she was pretty young, her dad died, and the loss of that was pretty devastating for her, and it was something that she carried with her into her adult years. Now, like I said, Richard wasn't her first go-around at marriage, not by any means.
She actually got married to her first husband, who was her high school sweetheart, when she was just 17 years old. The two of them eloped, and they didn't have any children together, and their marriage was pretty short-lived because Stacey filed for a divorce just a couple of years later. But in 1991, she got married again.
And her and her new husband moved back down to Stacy's home state of Florida. And that's where she had her first son, DJ. But having a baby didn't help their already stressful marriage, because they had a lot of stress mainly for finances. And the two of them ended up splitting up when DJ was just one year old. Stacy knew that she wanted a better life for DJ.
