  • Murder of Jacob Wetterling

    #078 - Sunday night is typically a quiet night, but not on this night. On October 22nd, 1989 three young boys convince their parents to let them ride their bikes. The kids ride in the dark to rent a movie. They shine flashing lights, wear bright clothes, and stay together. Only four blocks to get home. Suddenly a man emerges from the shadows. He pulls out a gun. Points the gun. And orders the kids face down on the ground.

    A parent’s worst nightmare.

    #077 - “I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me. You have the wrong guy.” Words used by killers, rapists, and the scum of the earth. Police got their man.  Another lying killer. But don’t take the killer’s word for it. Let’s let the forensics speak.

  • Murder of Sherri Rasmussen

    #076 - On Mondays, Sherri usually woke up excited to go to work. She was incredibly successful. A young Director of Nursing, a newlywed to the man of her dreams, living the perfect life. But this morning was different.

    Sherri was scheduled to give a speech. She hated speeches. Her husband kissed her good-bye. Sherri sat alone, debating, contemplating when she was attacked. In her bedroom?

  • The Amityville Horror

    #075 -  Amityville, Long Island is a quaint little town. Not much happens. Everybody knows each other by name—the perfect place to raise a family.

    On November 13th, 1974, police sirens pierce the quietness. Startled neighbors scramble to the home of their friends. They watch in horror as police pull one body bag. Then another, and another, and another, and still there’s more…

  • Long Island Serial Killer

    #074 - On December 11th, 2010, a police officer and his trusty dog were on a routine training exercise along Ocean Parkway in Long Island. The dog stopped to sniff a little longer than usual. The police officer also recognized the god-awful smell—the stench of death. A young female’s bare-bones found inside a burlap sack. Within a couple weeks, more female dismembered bodies were found—first one, then two, then three… and on and on.

    We have a serial killer on the loose.

  • San Ysidro McDonald's Murders

    #071 - July 14, 1984 was just another peaceful summer day in Southern California. The perfect atmosphere for a frosty Mc Donald’s ice cream sundae.  Aww, Micky Dees. America’s classic burger joint. Three little friends cracked their piggy banks open. And rode their bikes to enjoy their favorite treat at their favorite place.

    As the kids ride into Mc Donald's, three gunshots rang out. The 11-year-olds crash. Two boys die instantly. The shots continue, on and on, for hours and hours… With no end in sight.

    #069 - Your phone rings in the middle of the night.. A single drop of cold sweat slides down your back. A yucky feeling in the pit of your stomach tells you. Something’s wrong. Very wrong. Your daughter’s in trouble.

    You frantically call 9-1-1. The police tell you to calm down and call back?

    Minutes grow into hours and hours turn into days.

    Your daughter’s missing. And the police have no interest in finding her.

    Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to Teresa Martin.
