For generations, the Murdaugh family was a legal powerhouse that ruled South Carolina's Hampton County. Problems began mounting, publicly at least, for the Murdaughs in 2019, after an allegedly intoxicated 19-year old Paul, the youngest son, crashed his family’s boat into a bridge on Archers Creek. The accident resulted in the injuries of multiple passengers and the death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. From there, the Murdaugh’s fall from grace was littered with corruption, crime, tragedy and death, and ultimately culminated in the double homicide of Paul and the family’s matriarch, Maggie. Mandy Matney is a South Carolina based journalist whose reporting broke story after story on the Murdaugh scandal. Matney, who serves as executive producer of “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the new, fictionalized series based on the undoing of the Lowcountry dynasty.

In a heist that shocked the world, a small group of thieves, using a basket lift and power tools, managed to break into the Louvre in broad daylight and steal invaluable jewels. After breaking into a second floor window right after the museum opened on Sunday, robbers smashed display cases and grabbed earrings, necklaces, tiaras, and other jewels before making their escape. The stolen pieces, dating back to the 19th century, have been described as priceless, and France’s president called the theft an attack on the country’s heritage. As of now, police are still on the hunt for the thieves. Christopher A. Marinello, CEO and founder of Art Recovery International, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the astonishing heist.

At the height of Bob Menendez’s career, he was one of the most powerful Democrats in the Senate – chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. That all came crashing down in the aftermath of an indictment that outlined an elaborate arrangement, alleging Menendez used his government position to benefit multiple New Jersey businessmen, as well as the Egyptian and Qatari governments, in exchange for luxury gifts and cash. Federal agents found some of those bribes while searching his home – gold bars hidden in a closet, cash stuffed into clothing and shoes, and a Mercedes-Benz convertible parked in the garage. In 2024, Menendez was found guilty on all 16 charges against him, including bribery, fraud and acting as a foreign agent, and was ultimately sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. Isabel Vincent and Thomas Jason Anderson, authors of “Gold Bar Bob: The Downfall Of The Most Corrupt U.S. Senator,” join “Forbes True Crime” to discuss Menendez's meteoric rise and eventual stunning fall.

A camera crew visited an Alabama prison in 2019 to film an event. There was live music, barbecued food, and prayer. By all accounts, it seemed like a joyful day. But one inmate shared a message to the filmmakers – there’s a reason they were invited with their cameras that day, and everything was not as it seemed at the correctional facility. In his words, the prison was not “fit for human society.” Soon after, other men spoke to the crew off camera, sharing the horrors they’ve witnessed inside the prison’s walls, away from the public eye. Thus began a mutli-year investigation into Alabama's prison system, filled with footage shot on contraband cell phones by inmates themselves to show what was happening on the inside. Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman, co-directors and producers of ‘The Alabama Solution,’ join “Forbes True Crime” to discuss their documentary that shines a light on what is happening behind bars in Alabama.

Angela Brosso and Melanie Bernas separately rode their bikes along a path near a Phoenix canal less than a year apart in 1992 and 1993, and neither ever returned home. Both were brutally murdered, and the Phoenix canal murders haunted Arizona for years, leaving the community without answers. Matching DNA linked the two horrific crimes, but the killer was able to hide in plain sight for decades, according to Sergeant Troy Hillman, who took up this cold case years later. He assembled an all-star cold case team, and together, they were able to track down the killer. Hillman joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss his new book, “Chasing Down the Zombie Hunter,” which details his investigation into this cold case.

The villains in some of America’s most iconic horror movies, like “Psycho” and “The Silence of the Lambs,” were inspired by crimes dating back to the 1950s committed by real-life killer and grave robber Ed Gein. Gein, who admitted to killing two women, also had a house of horrors – authorities uncovered bowls made from skulls, human heads, women’s body parts used to make furniture and household items, and both face masks and a woman suit made out of human skin. Most recently, Gein’s story is spotlighted in the latest season of the Netflix series "Monster." Harold Schechter, author of “Deviant: The Shocking True Story of the Original ‘Psycho,’” joins “Forbes True Crime" to discuss the killer now known as the Butcher of Plainfield.

As snow continued to blanket the city of Philadelphia on January 26, 2011, Ellen Greenberg, an elementary school teacher, headed home to her Manayunk neighborhood apartment that she shared with her fiancé. Just hours later, her fiancé was dialing 911 – he said he found Ellen “on the floor with blood everywhere,” before saying that she either stabbed herself or fell on a knife. Police arrived to the scene, and from the beginning, treated Ellen’s death like a suicide. After conducting an autopsy, the medical examiner’s office originally ruled her death a homicide, before reversing course and changing the manner of death to suicide. She was found dead with 20 stab wounds, including multiple to the back of her neck. For the last 14 years, Ellen’s parents, Sandee and Josh Greenberg, have been steadfast in their belief that their daughter was murdered and have been fighting to get justice for Ellen ever since. In February of 2025, the pathologist who originally conducted her autopsy said he now believes Ellen did not take her own life. Nancy Schwartzman, showrunner and director of ‘Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?’ joins Forbes True Crime to discuss her new series that revisits the case.

Former quarterback Erik Kramer had a storied career in the NFL for close to a decade. Years after the football player hung up his cleats, he was dealt a series of personal tragedies that could level anyone. While in the throes of depression, he tried taking his own life in 2015. Miraculously, he survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The injury left him temporarily mentally incapacitated – and the moment was an opportune time for a con artist to swoop in. Under the guise of trying to help Erik, a former girlfriend slid back into his life, and in the process, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from him. Erik's lifelong friend Anna Dergan was the first to become suspicious that Erik was being taken advantage of – and then promptly kicked off an investigation of her own. Slowly, while Erik's brain healed, the uphill battle that was the legal fight was just beginning. Erik Kramer and Anna Dergan, executive producers of “The Quarterback and the Con Artist,” join “Forbes True Crime” to share their story.

On the morning of December 4, 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was walking to an investor meeting in midtown Manhattan when a gunman approached him from behind and fatally shot him. Law enforcement described the killing as a “brazen targeted attack.” The suspect fled, spurring a nationwide manhunt that resulted in the arrest of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. According to police, Mangione was found with a ghost gun that matched the shell casings found at the scene, what was described as a handwritten manifesto, and a notebook that voiced frustrations with the country’s healthcare industry. He is currently facing a total of 20 counts across state and federal courts, and has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. Criminal defense attorney Danny Rubin joins “Forbes True Crime” to break down the case against Mangione.
