This is the story of Kim Wall - an accomplished journalist who traveled the world telling stories about people others overlooked.

Brittany claimed she acted in self-defense after being raped and beaten, and that the man was strangling her brother when she pulled the trigger. Alabama's stand your ground law was designed to protect people who defend themselves in their own homes—but would it protect her? Marina breaks down the legal framework, the evidence presented at the hearing, and the complicated aftermath that followed.

In the finale of our Robert Durst series, The Jinx airs and millions of people hear what Bob said in that bathroom. As the episode goes live, the FBI is already tracking Bob—he's on the run again. They arrest him in New Orleans and charge him with Susan Berman's murder.

At trial, prosecutor John Lewin builds his case while Bob's defense team fights back with everything they have. Bob takes the stand for a grueling cross-examination.

In Part 2, Bob flees to Galveston, Texas disguised as a mute woman named Dorothy Ciner. When his neighbor Morris Black is found dismembered in Galveston Bay, Bob admits to cutting up the body—but claims it was self-defense. With the best lawyers money can buy, he faces a Texas jury.

Years later, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki convinces Bob to sit for interviews for the HBO documentary The Jinx. Bob says things that don't add up.

What connects these deaths? And who is the dismembered neighbor whose body parts washed up in Galveston Bay?

In 1983, Tracey Thurman did everything she was supposed to do. She reported threats from her estranged husband, Charles “Buck” Thurman, sought restraining orders, and pleaded for help. Police refused to act—until a brutal attack shocked the nation and reshaped how the law handles domestic violence.

In 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded a flight out of Portland, handed a note to a flight attendant, and calmly claimed he had a bomb. What followed became one of the most famous hijackings in American history — a ransom drop, a midnight parachute jump into rough wilderness, and a suspect who vanished without a trace.

Over the next five decades, theories multiplied, evidence surfaced and disappeared, and a mysterious bundle of cash washed up along the Columbia River. Despite one of the longest and most exhaustive investigations the FBI ever launched, the true identity — and fate — of D.B. Cooper remains one of the country’s most enduring unsolved mysteries.
