Inside the dark bathroom of room 319 at the Sports Stadium Motel in Independence, Missouri, the body of a young 21-year-old woman lies on the cold floor. Police would determine that woman had committed suicide and would close the case after a months investigation. But numerous red flags would lead many to question the thoroughness of the police investigation. Was this truly a suicide, or was this the violent outcome of a turbulent and often abusive relationship. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

At 2pm on Tuesday 25TH February 2014 an off duty police officer and his wife were walking along Perranporth beach in Cornwall at high tide and found the body of a man washed up on the beach about 30 meters in front of the Watering Hole bar.
The off-duty officer said he and his wife initially saw a shape at the water’s edge and joked that it looked like a body.
“I didn’t believe it was a body, I thought it was probably a couple of plastic containers,” he said.
His wife walked closer and shouted to her husband that it actually was a body. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

In a quiet, upper middle-class neighborhood, overlooking San Pablo Bay in Northern California, a brazen killing in 1997 shocked and shattered the innocence of a whole community. To this day, it is still unknown as to why the killer or killers targeted the victims. With the lack of answers, multiple theories have been put forth and discussed. Was it a home invasion gone wrong? Was it a drug related murder? Was it a part of a vast government conspiracy? Or could it have been the end result of a love triangle?  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

In the small picturesque village of Lound, England a 50-year-old man returned home from an afternoon at his local pub.
This man was well liked, calm and friendly; a man who was described by people that knew him as a caring and gentle man who liked nothing more than catching up with friends and having a pint.
Later that week, the man would be found brutally murdered, and there appeared to be no motive and no suspects. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.
