In August 1999, 14-year-old Ashley Jones snuck her 16-year-old boyfriend Geramie Hart into her grandparents' Birmingham, Alabama home. The teens planned to murder everyone in the home so they could run away together. They brutally murdered Ashley's grandfather Deroy Nalls and her aunt Millie Nalls. Then, they attempted to murder her grandmother Mary Nalls and little sister Mary Jones. Both teens had a traumatic past -- but the crime's horrible details shock the courtroom.

In 1976, a serial killer terrorized San Mateo County, California from January through April. After 5 young women and teens turned up dead, the murders suddenly stopped. For 45 years, police had no suspects. Then, a DNA match in Reno, Nevada, revealed a serial killer and exonerated an innocent woman. But that's not the only secret DNA would unlock in this case.

On July 18,  2015, Heather Saul arranged to meet 45-year-old Neal Falls at her home for an escort date. Immediately after he arrived, Falls attacked Saul. After a vicious fight, Saul managed to kill her attacker and run for help. When police arrived, they realized Falls could be much more than just a violent client. Authorities allege Falls was really a serial killer who'd brought a sophisticated kill kit to Heather's home.
