Crime House 24/7

On New Year's Eve 1981, 18-year-old Patty Gifford went out to celebrate in Fort Lauderdale. She met a man at a bar named Dennis Sochor. Hours later, she was dead — and her body has never been found. This past Tuesday, more than 44 years later, the state of Florida executed 74-year-old Sochor at Florida State Prison. He became the oldest person the state has ever put to death, in what was Florida's tenth execution of 2026 — more than every other state combined. Vanessa walks you through the case, the confession, and the national conversation this execution is now sitting in the middle of.

Three days after Christmas 1987, 20-year-old Missy Taylor Ellison was beaten to death in her Jacksonville home while her 13-month-old daughter slept a room away. The killer left the baby unharmed on the living room couch and vanished. For 38 years, no one was charged. Then, last week, a 70-year-old man walked into a Florida credit union and called the sheriff's office to say he had information about the case. Hours later, he was under arrest. Vanessa walks you through the murder, the decades her family spent waiting, and the phone call that may finally give them an answer.

On Christmas Eve 2002, 27-year-old Laci Peterson — eight months pregnant with her son Conner — vanished from her home in Modesto, California. Four months later, her and her baby's bodies washed ashore in San Francisco Bay. Her husband Scott Peterson was convicted of their murders in 2004. Tonight, a new A&E documentary premieres claiming there is evidence — some never seen by the public — that could free him. But two months ago, a California judge examined that same evidence and rejected every single claim. Vanessa walks you through the case, the new claims, and the court ruling standing in their way.

Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old American mother from Armonk, New York, had built a new life in Killarney, Ireland with her young daughter. On July 7th, a family member found her dead in her home. A post-mortem confirmed she had been suffocated after an assault. The man the Gardaí most want to speak with was already gone — on a bus to Dublin, then a flight to the Middle East — before her body was even discovered. He has not been charged and remains a person of significant interest. Vanessa walks you through the case and the international manhunt that has followed.

Mariana Yepez built Ricos Tacos Naomi from a single food truck into nearly a dozen taco stands across Los Angeles. Now she's in jail, accused of orchestrating the murder of one of her own employees — 47-year-old mother Soledad Lopez, whose burned body was found in the trunk of her own car at a South LA tow yard last September. Prosecutors say the killing traces back to a disputed $11,500 settlement. Two coworkers are also charged; one has fled the country. And a twist involving federal immigration enforcement has turned a local killing into a national story.

On a Friday afternoon in March 2023, 17-year-old Xavier Chavarin — a straight-A honors student months from graduating — was stabbed to death while waiting for his mom to pick him up from school in Los Angeles. His attacker was a stranger. Hours later, that same man stabbed a father of three about a mile away. Last week, more than three years after the attacks, David Anthony Zapata was sentenced to 24 years to life. Vanessa walks you through Xavier's story, the investigation, and a case with no motive that finally reached its end.
