Episode 19: Small Town Girl

Kristin Blasie Lobato was 18 years old when she was wrongfully convicted for the murder of a homeless man on the west side of Las Vegas, NV. She was sentenced to life in prison.

On May 25, 2001, Kristin was leaving the Budget Suites Hoel on the east side of Vegas when a man grabbed her and threw her on the ground. He attempted to rape her, but Kristin pulled out a butterfly knife and slashed him on the penis.

Six weeks later, a homeless man named Bailey Duran was brutally murdered behind a dumpster, and his penis was cut off. DNA testing showed that he was killed by a man.

In a circus of events, Kristin’s therapist told a cop about Kristin’s near-rape experience, who misconstrued the information and told detectives Kristin cut a different man’s penis off. Detectives arrested her despite evidence proving her innocence.
