Crime House 24/7

For her first case, Katie reveals how a young boy in Iowa became a real-life hero after saving his mother from a terrifying hostage situation. The boy heard her being abused throughout the night by a man, so when he went on the school bus the next morning, he did something courageous that sprang authorities into action. Then, Katie turns to Detroit, where a viral “feel-good” video changed Curtis Dixon’s life overnight, but also made him a target. Within weeks, his own nephew allegedly led a violent plot to kidnap and kill him for his newfound fortune.

Miami Hurricanes football standout Bryan Pata was months from the NFL when he was shot outside his apartment in 2006. Fifteen years later, former teammate Rashaun Jones was arrested and charged in the killing, but the case swerved again when ESPN reporters located a supposedly “deceased” eyewitness…alive. With the witness now deemed unfit to testify and prior statements set to be used at trial, Jones maintains his innocence as the court date resets for February 2026. In this episode, Katie retraces the rivalry, the evidence, the media’s role, and the two-decade fight for justice by Pata’s family.

In California, police say 29-year-old Varun Suresh used Megan’s Law listings to track down 71-year-old David Brimmer—then stabbed him to death, allegedly calling it “justice.” Suresh now faces murder and burglary charges as investigators probe his past and his vigilante motive. Meanwhile, Katie investigates a second case in Argentina, where the dismembered bodies of two young women and a teenage girl were unearthed behind a suburban home. Their torture and killings were allegedly streamed to a private audience as a gang warning. Nine suspects are in custody, including the alleged ringleader “Little J,” as authorities race to verify the livestream platform and piece together who else was involved.

On the scariest night of the year, two women met real-life terror. In 2008, Arpana Jinaga hosted a costume party in her Seattle apartment and was found strangled days later, her killer still unknown. On Halloween morning in 1981, Sister Tadea Benz was murdered inside her Amarillo convent, a case that may have ended with the wrong man executed. The scariest part of Halloween is knowing justice never came.

He wouldn’t talk after his arrest…but the data did. In the finale of our Idaho Student Murders series, we unpack what investigators uncovered about Bryan Kohberger’s alleged motive: unsettling internet searches, late-night car cleaning, Instagram follows and unanswered DMs to the victims, and a digital trail that points to obsession. With the trial moved to Boise and the death penalty on the table, Kohberger took a plea to avoid execution and received four life sentences without parole. We break down the newly released files, the classmates’ red flags, and the families’ powerful statements, as we remember Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

Today, Katie digs into two disturbing cases of power and violence. First, the fall of Howard “Horrible Howie” Rubin, a wealthy Wall Street trader accused of luring vulnerable women into a Manhattan torture chamber with the help of his assistant. Now facing federal sex trafficking charges, and linked to dozens of potential victims, Rubin’s decades of abuse are finally catching up to him. Then, the heartbreaking story of June Bunyan, a Scottish immigrant whose dream life in Los Angeles ended in tragedy. Prosecutors say her husband, Jonathan Rentaria, strangled and dismembered her before confessing in a suicide note. He’s now facing murder charges and a possible insanity defense.

In Part 4 of our five-part deep dive into the Idaho student murders, the investigation closes in on its prime suspect. Detectives trace the movements of Bryan Kohberger through the early-morning hours of November 13th, 2022: his phone going dark just before the murders, his car circling the neighborhood, and his suspicious return to the crime scene hours later. Each clue paints a clearer picture of a killer who may have been watching his victims for months before the attack. But the most damning piece of evidence comes from the trash outside Kohberger’s parents’ home. With the evidence mounting and the death penalty on the table, the case is now barreling toward trial… but the most unexpected twist is still to come.

Today’s first case follows a shocking “family affair” murder that is headed back to court. Jeffrey Spence is accused of gunning down his daughter Caitlin’s drug dealer boyfriend, Kirby Carpenter, in a deadly plot that prosecutors say he carried out with Caitlin and her mother. After a dramatic mistrial fueled by Caitlin’s testimony against her own father, a new trial is set for 2026, where jurors will decide if Spence really pulled the trigger in a crime that involved hidden gold, deleted security footage, and a disturbing text about starting “Assassins, Inc.” Then Katie investigates a bizarre manhunt in Colorado that ended live on camera. Richard Applequist, an armed burglary suspect, was spotted walking casually into the background of a news broadcast and was arrested minutes later. He now faces a slew of felony charges.

In Part 3 of our five-part deep dive into the Idaho student murders, the investigation moves beyond the crime scene and into the chaotic world of online speculation. As police race to find the killer who brutally stabbed Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, a mysterious internet user known as “Pappa Rodger” begins posting disturbingly specific questions about the crime…including details never released to the public. Meanwhile, investigators trace a white Hyundai Elantra seen circling the victims’ home, which leads them to a shocking new suspect: 28-year-old criminology PhD student Bryan Kohberger. But just as investigators close in, Kohberger vanishes. The manhunt is on, and the story is far from over.
