When a 25-year-old woman was murdered in St. Cloud, Florida in 1991, police gathered what little evidence they could to find her killer. The problem was, the young woman lived a transient lifestyle, making it very difficult to narrow down the suspect pool. It would take over three decades and the help of DNA to finally get justice for Julia Wilbanks.

In 1981, Thelma and Beverly were the best of friends. They were flight attendants for the same airline, and even bought a house together in Dallas, Texas to save on expenses and be close to the airport. But a marital mortgage clause would eventually tear the two friends apart and ultimately result in a violent murder. Unfortunately, the investigation into what happened to Beverly Bruneau would span decades and lead a new, eager detective right back to a suspect who'd been under their noses all along.

Summer break was just days away for sisters Megan and Josie Russell. It was July 9, 1996, and after attending a swimming gala with their school, the girls stood at the school gates, eagerly waiting for their mum, Lin, to arrive and walk them home. What should have been an ordinary walk home would turn deadly; resulting in two murder trials, decades of questions, and one young woman's tale of resilience.

For Bryan and Jo Guy, Byreburn Farm was more than a place to call home, it was the legacy they'd built for generations to come. But beneath the surface, jealousy and entitlement gathered together like a storm that would leave a trail of devastation and destroy a family's future forever.

It was the evening of June 4, 2024, when authorities responded to a 911 call in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The caller had informed dispatch of one deceased male, but as police made their way through the home, they shockingly located two more victims. The manhunt for the killer would lead police to a suicide note, a second cell phone, and, ultimately, to the monster intent on murder.
