In the summer of 2017, in a quiet Ohio suburb, a secret came to light that stunned the nation. Eighteen-year-old Brooke Skylar Richardson was accused of hiding her pregnancy, giving birth alone in her bathroom, and burying her newborn daughter in the backyard while her family slept just feet away. The media frenzy that followed centered on Skylar—her appearance, her lifestyle, and her courtroom demeanor. But lost beneath the headlines was the story of the true victim: a baby girl who lived only moments, if at all, before her life was taken from her.

This episode delves into the chilling details of that night, the discovery that shocked investigators, and the conflicting accounts that left the world questioning what really happened inside that bathroom. Beyond the trial, we focus on the tragedy of a child whose life was cut short before it even began—and the haunting silence that surrounded her death.

We'll also bring you an important update on the Alexee Trevizo case, as her fight has reached the Supreme Court—an appeal that could have major implications for how her story unfolds in the eyes of the law.

And finally, we turn to the case of Laken Snelling, a former University of Kentucky cheerleader who is out on house arrest after her newborn baby was found in her closet. The allegations are as disturbing as they are tragic, echoing the same heartbreaking pattern of hidden pregnancies, desperate decisions, and innocent lives lost. Her story will become the focus of an upcoming episode, where we'll unravel the details and ask the difficult questions about secrecy, denial, and justice.
