In 1991, a masked man stormed into a dental practice in Edgewater, Florida and opened fire; killing forty-year-old dentist, Norman Larzelere. Authorities soon realized that they wouldn't need to go far from home to find the people involved in the plot and they'd unravel a tangled web of deceit, adultery, and possible incest.

A husband found his young wife dead in their home in late November, 1993 of a gunshot wound to the head. With no weapon found at the scene and signs of a break in, police initially thought she must have been murdered. But the husband would eventually tell police an entirely new version of events regarding her death and he alleged it wasn't murder at all.

In the late 1800's, Los Angeles experienced a boom in their economy, heavily contributed to, by local oil companies. The Doheny family dominated the industry and controlled a substantial amount of wealth as a result of their success in the oil fields. But a scandal would rock the family and the community, and would lead to much speculation about where the truth really lies.

In 1871, in Kansas, American settlers liked to relocate Native American tribes to new land. So, when a string of mysterious deaths began to occur on the Osage Trail, it was first thought to be retaliation, but that wasn't the case at all. The people behind these brutal murders would be a shocking revelation to the townspeople, and would intrigue people across the nation.
