On March 19th, 2014, school officials in Washington, DC went to a local homeless shelter to follow up on an 8-year-old student named Relisha Rudd due to her having missed more than two weeks of school. For several weeks, they’d reportedly been told by Relisha’s mother that she was under a doctor’s care. They were stunned to find out that the so-called doctor was actually a custodian at the shelter and that none of Shamika’s family members had seen her for 18 days. Where was Relisha Rudd and who was the janitor that she’d seemingly disappeared into thin air with?

On July 4th, 2009, the bodies of NFL player Steve McNair and Jenni Kazemi were found in a condo in Nashville, Tennessee.  They had each been shot and died from gunshot wounds.  The investigation moved swiftly, and ultimately, it was determined that Jenni had murdered Steve before turning the gun on herself.  Although the case has been laid to rest, for some people, questions still remain about the investigation and a different murderer, who might have gotten away with it.

On Jan 13th, 1995 in Knoxville, TN a battered body, nude from the waist up, was found in a grizzly scene. The victim had been tortured, murdered and her skull crushed. But that's not all- she had pentagrams carved into her forehead and chest. The investigation led police to a young woman named Christa Pike- who looked innocent and even "angelic," but was pure evil. Let's take a trip down memory lane and explore one of the most shocking cases of that era. It's a gripping tale of troubled lives, a heartbreaking murder, and a courtroom drama that could have been straight out of a Law & Order rerun.

On the afternoon of Monday, February 24th, 2020, first responders in Winter Park, Florida arrived at an apartment complex to find 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr. dead inside of the apartment he shared with girlfriend, Sarah Boone. Jorge was unfortunately past the point of being able to be revived and was pronounced dead on scene. Homicide detectives arrived on scene to question Sarah, who told them a strange tale of what happened and how she’d “accidentally” left her boyfriend zipped up inside of a suitcase, then fell asleep. However, detectives soon recovered evidence on Sarah’s own cell phone that proved that Jorge’s death may not have been a tragic accident after all. This episode discusses an overview of the case and recaps the trial which was broadcast live in 2024.

The Busby family was a typical family living in a sleepy beach community.  But in August of 1979, all that came crashing down when John Busby was shot and nearly killed on his way to work as a police officer.  While John knew who his assailant was from the instant the trigger was pulled, the man responsible would escape justice because of his connections within their community.

In September of 2004, Mary Lou Jones called one of her daughter’s friends in Florida, concerned that she had gone several days without hearing from her daughter Michelle. The friend, who also hadn’t heard from Michelle in days, went over to Michelle’s house, and discovered a horrific scene. Michelle and her aunt Teri had been savagely murdered by Teri’s husband, Charlie Brandt. Charlie then took his own life. An investigation into the life of Charlie Brandt shocked detectives as they found that this was not the first murder Charlie had committed, that he could’ve been responsible for over 20 vicious, graphic murders across the state of Florida.

A former police chief orchestrates the cold-blooded murder of his wife's ex and his new girlfriend in a twisted custody battle that rocked a small New York town. When Josh Niles and Amber Washburn were gunned down in their driveway, no one suspected the mastermind was Tim Dean - an ex-police chief who crossed state lines to commit murder at his wife's behest.

This chilling true crime case reveals how a custody dispute spiraled into deadly violence when Charlene Childers lost her children due to her new husband's abuse allegations. Despite her tearful appearances at vigils and funerals, Charlene had orchestrated the entire plot, manipulating her police chief husband to eliminate her custody problem permanently.

Watch as investigators unravel an inept murder conspiracy involving rental cars, crossed jurisdictions, and a trail of evidence that led straight back to a former top cop who should have known better. This shocking story proves that sometimes the most dangerous criminals are the ones sworn to uphold the law.
