Going West: True Crime

After going out to a nightclub in February of 2015, a 27-year-old California woman disappeared. When police released surveillance footage of her at the club with her ex-boyfriend and another couple, they hoped people would come forward with answers. But when her car was found abandoned and her body was discovered in a creek bed in the mountains, her family became suspicious of one particular person. This is the story of Erica Alonso.

In January of 2017, the body of a 24-year-old man was found naked at the bottom of a cliff in a state park in Maryland. Although his girlfriend claims he died from the injuries he sustained in the fall, an autopsy revealed his throat had been slit multiple times.

In February of 2004, a 21-year-old nursing student vanished after being involved in a car accident in New Hampshire. When police arrived at the scene, she was gone, and to this day, she has never been found.

In January of 1999, a 30-year-old pregnant mother was found murdered in her Texas bedroom closet. Police suspected her high school football coach husband from the beginning, but it wasn’t until eight years later that they would have enough evidence to convict him. And even after two trials, he still maintains that she was killed by burglars. So what really happened? This is the murder of Belinda Temple.

In January of 1970, two freshman students at West Virginia University disappeared while hitchhiking after seeing a movie. While police originally thought the girls may have run away, suspicious letters began to arrive that suggested otherwise. After their beheaded bodies were found, police began a relentless search to find their ruthless killer. But so far, all they’ve gotten is a false confession. These are the unsolved murders of Karen Ferrell and Mared Malarik.
