🍩 Buckle up — this case is just do-nuts! 🍩
In this chilling episode of Killer Bites, Alex takes you deep into one of Chicago’s most baffling and heartbreaking crimes — the brutal murder of beloved salon owner Yolanda Holmes.

When Yolanda was found shot and stabbed inside her home, the community was shaken. She was known for her kindness, her energy, and her passion for helping others. There were no enemies, no financial disputes, no love triangles — nothing that screamed motive. For months, detectives were left grasping at shadows, following dead-end leads and puzzling over the senselessness of it all.

The only clue? A vague description of a suspect that Yolanda’s boyfriend barely caught sight of that tragic night. The mystery grew colder by the day — until her own son began acting strangely. What began as a tragic murder investigation slowly morphed into an unthinkable story of greed, betrayal, and the unimaginable darkness that can hide behind a family’s closed doors.

So, grab your mixing bowls and prepare for one of our most shocking true-crime-meets-kitchen stories yet. This week’s recipe: classic fluffy homemade donuts — sweet, warm, and dangerously addictive — the perfect contrast to the bitter twist of this case.
