Episode 056: The Deaths of Nichol Olsen, Alexa Montez, and London Bribiescas

On January 10, 2019, the bodies of 37-year-old Nichol Olsen, along with her 2 daughters, 16-year-old Alexa Montez and 10-year-old London Bribiescas were found in the upscale Anaqua Springs Ranch home of Nichol’s boyfriend, Charlie Wheeler. The Medical Examiner ruled this was a case of murder suicide, where Nichol killed her two daughters and then herself. However, that theory has been questioned, and there is some belief that this could have been a triple homicide.    Sources:  Mitra, Shraman, “Nichol Olsen Murder: What Led to Her Tragic End?”, The Cinemaholic, Jan 17, 2023, https://thecinemaholic.com/nichol-olsen-murder-how-did-she-die-who-killed-her/, accessed April 14, 2025.   SBG San Antonio Staff Reports, “TIMELINE: Five years since 2019 Anaqua Springs shooting deaths, case still unsolved”, News 4 San Antonio, Jan 10, 2023, https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/timeline-four-years-since-2019-anaqua-springs-shooting-deaths-case-still-unsolved-bexar-county-san-antonio-texas-investigation-criminal-murder-investigators-sheriff, accessed April 14, 2025.  Sheets, Megan & Fruen, Lauren, “Lawyer for boyfriend of Texas mother, 37, found shot dead with her two daughters blasts sheriff for naming his client a 'person of interest' as police refuse to accept medical examiner's murder-suicide ruling”, Daily Mail UK, Jan 20, 2019, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6612319/Boyfriend-Texas-mom-shot-dead-daughters-shouldnt-person-lawyer-says.html, accessed April 14, 2025.  Brown, Jena, “More Questions Than Answers in the Horrific Anaqua Springs Ranch Shooting”, The Line Up, Feb 8, 2023, https://the-line-up.com/anaqua-springs-ranch-shooting-nicole-olsen, accessed April 14, 2025.   Kauck, Holly, “Alexa Denice Montez”, Since Parkland, https://sinceparkland.org/people/alexa-montez/, accessed April 16, 2025.  KENS5.com Staff, “Boyfriend of teen shooting victim, Alexa Montez, shares heart-wrenching tribute video”, KENS5.com, Jan 21, 2019, https://www.kens5.com/article/news/boyfriend-of-shooting-victim-alexa-montez-shares-heart-wrenching-tribute-video/273-d0d393de-3254-4f93-a1db-a985e694b0c0, accessed April 16, 2025.  Hsu, Zoe, “London Sophia Bribiescas”, Since Parkland, https://sinceparkland.org/people/london-bribiescas/, accessed April 16. 2025.
