This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson explores the twisted lives of two of history’s most notorious prisoners. First, the story of Charles Manson, the manipulative cult leader whose “Family” turned peace and love into terror. From failed musician to prophet of “Helter Skelter,” Manson’s descent into madness culminated in one of the most chilling murder sprees in American history. Then, meet Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz.” Though immortalized as a gentle animal lover, the real Stroud was a violent killer who spent more than 40 years in solitary confinement. His obsession with canaries and his unlikely fame reveal the strange line between redemption and myth. Two men. Two cells. One shared legacy of infamy.

In Milan, a quiet night in one of the city’s most elegant neighborhoods turned into horror when 29-year-old model Pamela Genini was stabbed to death on her balcony as neighbors watched helplessly from across the street. Her boyfriend, Gianluca Soncin, is now behind bars, but his silence has only deepened the mystery. As investigators dig into his past, they uncover disturbing signs of stalking, threats, and obsession that may reveal what really happened that night. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Katie looks into a crime that ravaged the city. Prosecutors say Uber driver Jonathan Rinderknecht turned a simple spark into catastrophe when he allegedly ignited the blaze that became the Palisades Fire, killing 12 people, destroying nearly 7,000 homes, and burning through more than 23,000 acres. Authorities say his phone data, online searches, and chilling AI-generated images tell a story of anger and unraveling control.

In the summer of 2015, beloved Florida doctor Teresa Sievers returned home from a family trip and walked straight into a nightmare. Within minutes, she was brutally bludgeoned to death with a hammer inside her own kitchen. The men responsible were soon caught, and the truth that emerged stunned everyone: one of them was her husband’s best friend, and prosecutors said her husband, Mark Sievers, was the man who ordered the hit. Mark was sentenced to death, and for years the case seemed closed…until now. Nearly a decade later, one of the killers, Jimmy “The Hammer” Rodgers, has come forward with a new confession that flips the story on its head. As the courts weigh whether to grant Mark a new trial, the question looms: after all these years, who has been telling the truth?

In Spain, police are reopening the investigation into the death of Isak Andic, billionaire founder of the global fashion brand Mango. The 71-year-old mogul fell more than 300 feet while hiking with his son, Jonathan Andic, in 2024. What was first believed to be a tragic accident is now being investigated as homicide, with Jonathan named the prime suspect amid growing tension over family finances and control of the Mango empire. Then, Katie dives deep into a Michigan case, where 17-year-old London Thomas vanished after visiting her boyfriend, Jalen Pendergrass, and his mother, Charla. Three weeks later, her body was found sealed inside a plastic bin in an abandoned SUV. Both Jalen and Charla are now charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to tamper with evidence.

When 22-year-old Logan Federico was found shot to death in her Columbia, South Carolina rental, police quickly learned her killer, Alexander Dickey, had an alarming past. The 30-year-old had racked up 40 criminal charges, 25 of them felonies, yet remained free after years of dismissed cases, lenient sentencing, and record-keeping failures. Investigators say Dickey stole a gun and car during a string of burglaries before breaking into Logan’s home and killing her. Logan’s father is demanding accountability, arguing that if the system had worked, his daughter might still be alive.

Colorado meteorologist Kylie Bearse thought her stalker was finally gone…until he showed up at her home nearly two years later. For more than three years, she’s endured relentless harassment from a man convinced they’re married, despite restraining orders and repeated police reports.
