Hello and welcome to Sinister the true crime podcast where we discuss the nitty gritty details of the worlds most notorious crimes and general mysteries.
In today's episode we'll be discussing the tragic story of Scott Amedure and how homophobia played a massive role in his horrific murder. Also known as The Jenny Jones Show Murder, Scott wanted to wow his crush by taking him on said show for a segment titled 'Revealing Same Sex Secret Crush'. On the show Scott confessed his feelings for Jon Schmitz, who supposedly harboured negative feelings about this event until he erupted a few days later, murdering a man for his crush. Jon claimed embarrassment over the event which led to the tragic murder, but Scott never could have anticipated such a reaction.
The following case was filled with blatant homophobia, claiming that a man can be so terrified of another mans sexual advances they're left with no other option than murder.
But listen in while I tell you the story of Scott Amedure and his severely undeserving death at the hands of Jonathan Schmitz.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
