First, we break down the arrest of Florida nurse Rene Perez in the brutal killing of his coworker and affair partner Linda Campitelli, a case investigators say was solved through WhatsApp messages, surveillance footage, and cellphone data.

Then we head to Hall County, Georgia, where beloved teacher and coach Jason Hughes was killed during a senior prank gone tragically wrong. We get into the “Junior-Senior Wars” context, the charges against student Jayden Wallace, and the emotional response from Hughes’ family.

Next, we cover the Utah trial of nurse Meggan Sundwall, who is accused of convincing her friend Kacee Terry that she had terminal cancer before allegedly killing her with an insulin overdose in what prosecutors describe as a years-long manipulation scheme.

We also discuss the heartbreaking case out of Queensland, Australia, where Kate Paterson and her 1-year-old daughter April were found dead after the child’s father, Blake Seers, was hit by a car while fleeing.

From there, we move to Queens, New York, where Rupchand Simboo, 75, is accused of murdering his 34-year-old wife Salisha Ali and scattering her dismembered remains across multiple locations over several months.

And finally, we break down the federal terrorism case involving Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, the two Pennsylvania teens accused of planning an ISIS-inspired bomb attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City.

Each episode in this series walks through one full day of testimony, highlighting the key witnesses, evidence presented in court, and the major moments that could shape the outcome of the trial.

But when millions of dollars in promised government contracts never materialized and Michael suddenly collapsed at home with critically low blood sugar, the polished image began to crack.

What started as a fraud investigation eventually turned into something far darker. In this episode, we walk through the rise of Tactical Solutions Group, the mounting financial pressure, the events of February 6, 2019, and the six-year road that led to a life-without-parole sentence.

This is the case of Michael and Natalie Cochran.

This episode explores a case that defies expectations and challenges long-held assumptions about violence, psychology, and where evil comes from. It’s a story about how investigators got it wrong for years, how warning signs went unnoticed, and how one young woman’s life was reduced to evidence — while the person responsible hid in plain sight.

Some cases force us to ask uncomfortable questions.

This is one of them.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the murder of Christine Banfield and the death of Joseph Ryan, examining how a seemingly ordinary family life masked a web of deception, manipulation, and motive and how investigators ultimately pieced together what really happened inside that Fairfax County home.

1. Lakeville, Minnesota: Jack Joseph Ball pleads guilty to the murder of his pregnant sister, Bethany Ann Israel.
2. International / U.S. Federal: Former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding faces sweeping federal charges tied to cartel-level drug trafficking and murder conspiracies.
3. Florida: Resentencing begins in the decades-old Everglades kidnapping and murder case of 5-year-old Nicole Lynn Kimmell.
4. Australia: Police uncover organized “crime-for-hire” menus advertising violence through encrypted messaging apps.
5. California / Federal: True-crime TV executive Mary Carole McDonnell added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list in a massive fraud case.
6. Minnesota: Seven-year-old Brynlee Nelson is abducted after getting off her school bus and later found safe following a massive overnight search.
7. Indiana: Five people charged after a targeted shooting at the home of a sitting judge and his wife, allegedly meant to derail a criminal trial.
8. Billings, Montana: A teacher and an 18-year-old student are hospitalized after a stabbing at Billings Senior High School during after-school activities.

A minute away from the weight of true crime.

A minute away from the monotony. A break in tone.

A minute to be yourself, take care of yourself, and let your mind go somewhere else — even if it’s just for a minute. 🫶🏼

We also cover a homicide-suicide near the Idaho-Wyoming border, a kidnapping and carjacking case that has now escalated to federal charges, and a violent gas station assault in Arkansas that left a young man seriously injured.

We begin by addressing online rumors surrounding the death of Renee Good and separate verified information from misinformation. From there, we take a fact-based look at what authority ICE agents do and do not have over U.S. citizens, including a clear explanation of constitutional rights, warrants, and lawful protest.

This episode also covers:

• Federal wire fraud and money-laundering charges against the former executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City
• A smash-and-grab robbery at a California shopping mall
• The conviction of a Florida gang leader tied to violent racketeering
• A suspicious disappearance in South Australia now treated as a major crime
• A sentencing update in the Sarah Pender case
• Arrest in Monique and Spencer Tepe's double-homicide

We begin in Ohio, where investigators continue searching for answers in the unsolved double homicide of Spencer and Monique Tepe, a Columbus couple found shot to death inside their home while their two young children were left physically unharmed. We examine what police have confirmed, surveillance developments, and statements from grieving family members.

Next, we head to New York City, where a Brooklyn medical student is charged with attempted murder after allegedly pushing a 73-year-old man into a moving subway train. The victim survived, but the case has renewed concerns about unprovoked violence in the subway system.

In Minnesota, we look at the brutal Christmas Day killing of a hospital security guard by a patient, along with the broader scrutiny surrounding fraud investigations tied to daycare and social service programs as Governor Tim Walz announces he will not seek reelection.

We also cover a disturbing case out of Florida, where a woman is accused of killing two ex-husbands in separate shootings on the same day, and an Ohio case involving a pregnant woman allegedly held captive and violently assaulted over New Year’s.

Now, more than 25 years later, Sarah is back in court asking for her sentence to be reconsidered — and the case looks very different than it did in 2002. Key evidence used to convict her has since been discredited, the jailhouse informant who testified against her has been exposed as unreliable, and even the former prosecutor who put her away now says her sentence was a major injustice.

In this episode, we walk through Sarah Pender’s story from the beginning: the volatile household, the night of the murders, the investigation, trial, prison escape, years in solitary confinement, and the long fight for freedom that’s still unfolding today.

If you’re looking for a case that’s as frustrating as it is haunting, the Keddie murders remain one of the most chilling examples of a community failed by the system and of investigators still fighting to set the record straight.

Keith and Elaine Dardeen were the kind of couple everyone in their small community knew and admired. They worked hard, sang in church, and were raising their 2-year-old son, Peter, while preparing to welcome a new baby girl. But behind their front door was a scene of unimaginable horror—one so brutal that even seasoned investigators said it was the worst they had ever witnessed.

Elaine and little Peter were found beaten to death inside their trailer, tucked into bed as if someone wanted to hide the violence that had taken place. Elaine, seven months pregnant, had gone into labor during the attack—giving birth to a baby girl who lived only for moments before being killed as well.

Keith, the husband and father, was missing—along with the family car. And within 24 hours, his body would be discovered in a nearby field, shot and mutilated in a way that defied all understanding.

A loving family, wiped out for no apparent reason. No robbery. No known enemies. No clear motive. Just brutality, precision, and a killer who vanished without a trace.

This is the story of the Dardeen family murders—one of the most horrifying and baffling unsolved cases in American history.

In Kentucky, a UPS cargo jet crashed near the Louisville airport, killing nine people and injuring eleven more shortly after takeoff.

In Pennsylvania, a 13-year-old girl from Louisiana was found alive inside a box in a man’s basement after he allegedly lured her through Snapchat with promises of adoption.

In Virginia, teacher Abby Zwerner’s $40 million negligence lawsuit against school officials continues, revisiting the 2023 classroom shooting that left her critically injured by a 6-year-old student.

In California, the search continues for 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, whose mother returned home from a cross-country trip without her.

In Minnesota, a 51-year-old woman survived a violent sexual assault during her nightly walk, leading to the arrest of 21-year-old Tristen Leritz.

In Georgia, 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick stands accused of murdering her mother and stepfather after months of portraying herself online as a grieving daughter.

And in Boston, two college-aged men were charged after an explosion rocked a Harvard Medical School building in what prosecutors say was a deliberate act using fireworks.

Finally, in California, former American Idol contestant Randy Madden faces six felony charges for alleged sexual misconduct with a minor.

In Montana, a mother is charged with deliberate homicide after her 2-year-old son was found decomposing in a home described as “unlivable.” Then in North Carolina, a father’s 911 confession led deputies to a car trunk containing the bodies of his four children — a discovery that left an entire community reeling.

We also cover the arrest of an attorney accused of killing his tech-executive wife in Chicago, the $100 million Louvre jewel heist that stunned France, a deadly homecoming mass shooting in Leland, Mississippi, and the chaotic downtown Montgomery shootout that left two people dead after a college football weekend.

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle, is reportedly set to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. He’ll face life in prison (four consecutive life terms), and a hearing is scheduled for July 2 to make it official.

Why this plea deal? The prosecution has strong DNA evidence (as we know, Kohberger’s DNA was allegedly found on a knife sheath at the crime scene). With such overwhelming evidence and the death penalty on the table, Kohberger’s attorneys likely saw this deal as their best option to save him from the death penalty after their efforts to remove the death penalty have repeatedly been denied. Prosecutors also note this ensures a swift conviction, avoiding a long, painful trial and years of appeals.

But the plea agreement isn’t sitting well with everyone, especially the family of victim Kaylee Goncalves. Her parents are furious, calling it a betrayal by Idaho authorities. Kaylee’s sister, Aubrie, echoed the pain, emphasizing that Kohberger gets to continue interacting with the world from prison, while their loved ones were silenced forever. The Goncalves family was especially blindsided by how quickly the hearing was scheduled, leaving little time for them to attend in person. I've attached their statement below.

Legal experts are calling this deal a “bombshell” because it happened so close to the trial date and against strong family opposition. Still, the judge will likely approve it, sealing Kohberger’s fate to life behind bars.

For families and the community, this plea deal brings certainty but at what cost? It spares everyone the agony of reliving horrific details in court, yet denies families the sense of justice they hoped a jury trial would deliver.
