Episode 58 – Justice for Patrick: A CrossFit Coach's Story
In this powerful and emotional episode of Savagely Scaled, Joyce and Blake dive into the tragic and infuriating story of Patrick Heringer, a respected CrossFit L3 coach, Army veteran, and pillar of his community, who was murdered in his home in June 2025. This true crime episode explores not only who Patrick was—his dedication to fitness, service, and his community—but also how the justice system failed him and his family.
We walk through the timeline of events, from Patrick’s incredible background to the chilling details of his murder and the system's breakdown that allowed a violent felon to walk free. Through Sarah Heringer's fight for justice, we highlight the cracks in post-release supervision, warrant miscommunications, and what’s being done now to fix it.
This is more than just a crime story—this is a story of community, advocacy, and why we can’t let these voices be ignored.
