#056 - On September 13th, 2006, the body of a female victim washed ashore in the upscale city of Newport Beach, California. The victim had 52 stab wounds across her entire body. The knife was found still plunged into one of her eyes. 

Unable to identify the victim through fingerprints, police looked to the serial number found on her breast implants to make the identification.

Police quickly zeroed in on their prime suspect, but as the investigation progressed, the forensic evidence seemed to point detectives in a completely different direction.

#055 - Over the course of 48 hours in February 2007, decorated U.S. Astronaut and Navy Officer, Lisa Nowak, destroyed the life she spent 43 years meticulously crafting.

Lisa Nowak was accused of driving 900-miles cross country from Texas to Florida to confront a woman, who she saw as her rival. She took with her what many would describe as a “kill kit”. Gloves, a BB-gun, rubber tubing, a knife, and a pair of adult diapers.

What caused Lisa Nowak to go from a NASA Astronaut, to a convicted felon? And what did she really intend to do on her cross country trip?
