Imagine graduating college at the top of your class studying something you're really passionate about. Then, you get into the grad school of your dreams very easily because you're just that smart. It seems like your life is falling into place and you're one step closer to getting your dream job. Your family is tight-knit and full of scholars, and they couldn't be more proud of you. You talk to them everyday, especially your mom, and your college is only an hour from them. So, you can see them as often as you want. What more could anybody want? If you had all of this and went missing, only to be found dead just a week later, what would you want the public to know? Was it an unfortunate accident, or is something more sinister going on that police haven't been able to prove?

Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how primed-for-success grad student Jelani Day's life full of promise, love, and success was mysteriously cut short.

Living in an apartment as a young woman can be so freeing. The independence that most people crave finally becomes a reality. Miya Marcano moved away from home, excited to start a new journey in college and live on her own. She even got a job working in her apartment building to get to know people a little better. But somebody who worked at the apartment building wanted to get to know Miya a little too well. What started out as an innocent meeting turned into a months-long obsession filled with emotional text messages and hundreds of dollars being sent in hopes of getting a date. As Miya began to pull away from her not-so-secret admirer, he would become more and more unhinged. Unfortunately, he had unlimited access to her apartment due to his employment status. So when Miya turns up missing, her friends and family know exactly who did it.

If you were a pilot and struggling with suicidal thoughts, would you tell your boss knowing it could end your career but save the lives of others? This was the decision that 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz was left to make. Only he chose wrong. What was more wrong was the fact that he was even given the choice. His doctors knew what he was going through, yet it was left up to Andy's to tell his bosses. Since he didn't, he continued to fly even though he no longer fit the medical qualifications to do so. As time went on, Andy's mental health began to decline, and the people around him were completely unaware. Nobody knew just how much he was suffering until March 24, 2015, when he made a horrible decision that cost him and 149 other people their lives.

We all probably know at least one person who seems to have everything together. They're on top of their stuff, everything in their life seems planned out perfectly, and they get everything done that they need to. They appear to be strong, no-nonsense, and never take a break. But do you ever think about what it takes for them to keep this up? The dedication, the time, and the mental strength all come into play. Add in having kids to take care of while working full time. This was life for Diane Schuler. She did everything for her kids and left little time for herself. Everybody who knew her saw how great of a mother she was and how involved she was in her kids' lives. So when Diane crashed her van with her kids and nieces inside after driving down the wrong side of the highway, her friends and family assumed she suffered a medical emergency that impaired her vision. But when the toxicology report comes back that her Blood Alcohol Content was twice the legal limit, nobody could believe it.

Every child remembers riding around the neighborhood on their bikes with their siblings or friends. You felt free, you could go as fast as you wanted, and you could do it for hours without getting tired. Most parents, however, usually have two rules when it comes to riding your bikes: Don't go too far and stay together. This is what Donna Williams told her two kids, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman and 5-year-old Ricky Hagerman. They agreed to follow these rules and set off on their bike ride. But kids will be kids, and they decided to push the boundaries a little. Ricky, afraid of getting in trouble, decided they should head back to the neighborhood, as they had strayed away from where they were supposed to be. Ricky heads back to his grandparents' house, assuming Amber was right behind him. All seemed normal and Ricky felt like they had dodged being caught. That was, until, he turned around and realized he was in his grandparents' yard alone. Amber was nowhere to be found. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a young girl's tragic kidnapping and murder inspired the creation of a revolutionary database dedicated to finding missing children.

The music industry seems to be almost impossible to break into. Especially when your genre of music is dominated by the gender opposite of you. Your product has to be consistent and really special to stand out against everybody else's. Selena Quintanilla's father struggled sometimes to raise their family. But when he heard her sing, he knew he could turn her into a star. With her brother and sister right behind her, the band Selena y Los Dinos was born. After a lot of dedication and late nights, the group began to see success. Selena was on the rise, and she was primed to become the next big thing. So much so, that a woman approached her father about starting a fan club for Selena's brand. Her fandom was only growing, and she wanted to bring them closer to Selena. But what the Quintanilla family didn't know was that this woman, Yolanda Saldivar, had been plotting all along to get as close as possible to Selena, who she was secretly obsessed with. Nobody had any idea what she was up to, until thousands of dollars were missing out of the fan club bank account. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a young, beautiful star was betrayed by the person she trusted the most, and paid the ultimate price for it.

Going on a trip alone as a young woman can be intimidating. Oftentimes, women are seen as being more vulnerable, especially when they're alone. 21-year-old Elisa Lam's parents feared that their daughter would be viewed this way and taken advantage of during her solo trip to California. Despite her parents' concerns, Elisa was determined to get away from the stress of school and take some time to herself. But when Elisa failed to check out of the infamous hotel she was staying at, The Cecil Hotel, and never contacted her parents, they decided to report her missing. There were no leads on where Elisa may have been. That was, until, police discovered surveillance footage of Elisa from inside an elevator in the hotel. Her strange behavior seemed to suggest that something far more sinister was going on. Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how a trip to the West Coast turned into a cautionary tale of the risks of a mental health crisis.

Have you ever had a family member who you weren't related to, but they're so close to your parents that they're pretty much another aunt/uncle? This was the case for Hannah Anderson. Hannah, being a 16-year-old girl, liked having an uncle like her dad's best friend, Jim. He allowed her and her friends to have parties, drink, and gave her rides wherever she wanted. Hannah could pretty much do whatever she wanted at his house. Jim seemed to be the coolest adult to have around. That was, until, he made a comment towards Hannah that left her feeling very uncomfortable around him. After this, she stonewalled him. She ignored his texts, became standoffish when he came around her family, and stopped going over his house. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how one man's desperate attempt to corner the underage object of his desire resulted in tragedy for her entire family.
