In 1906, Grace Brown left home believing Chester Gillette was finally going to make a decision about their future. She packed her belongings, traveled through New York with him, and even mailed her mother a postcard saying she was having a lovely time.

The next day, Grace was found at the bottom of Big Moose Lake.

Chester said she had taken her own life, prosecutors said something different, and more than a century later, new questions about Grace’s injuries still leave one part of this famous case open to debate: What really happened in that rowboat?

Tommy Randolph called 911 claiming he had just walked into every husband's worst nightmare.

He said he found his wife, Sharon, shot on the floor of their Las Vegas home, confronted the masked intruder responsible, and killed him in self-defense.

But detectives quickly began questioning nearly every part of his story.

In this episode, we examine the evidence that led two separate juries to convict the man prosecutors dubbed the "Black Widower" and why one of those convictions was later overturned.

When Walter Goodman III called 911 from his Oneida, Wisconsin, home, first responders found his 14-year-old daughter weighing just 35 pounds.

As doctors fought to save her life, investigators began uncovering what had been happening inside the home she shared with Walter, Melissa Goodman, Savanna LeFever, and Kayla Stemler.

Then police searched the house ... and Melissa’s phone.

What they found would lead one prosecutor to call it the worst child neglect case she had seen in nearly 25 years.

A family gathered at a wake in west London when an argument broke out between cousins Jahmel Joseph and Jordan Rodney. A relative intervened and sent Jahmel home, seemingly ending the confrontation.

But shortly before midnight, Jahmel came back ... this time on a motorcycle and carrying a shotgun.

Jordan would be dead before the night was over, another family member would be seriously injured, and Jahmel's diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia would eventually become central to the question of why he returned to that wake armed.

Landon was adopted into a home that should have protected him.

Five-year-old Landon Maloberti was carried into a Pennsylvania hospital unresponsive, with his adoptive parents claiming that he had recently fallen and had been unsteady after COVID.

Doctors quickly realized that a simple fall couldn’t explain what they found.

As investigators looked deeper, they uncovered allegations of isolation, beatings, food deprivation, threats, and a delay in getting him medical care.

This episode follows Landon’s final days and the evidence presented against Lauren Maloberti and her husband.

Lindsey Lee had rebuilt her life after separating from her husband. She was thriving, preparing to finalize her divorce, and looking toward a new future.

Then she failed to show up for work.

What investigators uncovered inside her home, and on her estranged husband's electronic devices, would become the foundation of a murder case built almost entirely on circumstantial evidence, forensic science, and digital clues.

In this episode, we examine the investigation, the prosecution's theory of a carefully planned murder, the defense's attempts to dismantle the evidence, and the question that divided the courtroom: did the evidence prove Jason Lee's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt?

After ending her engagement, Samantha Mickleburgh thought she was doing one final act of kindness.

She agreed to spend a birthday weekend with her ex-fiancé, James Cartwright, before moving on with her life.

The next morning, Samantha was dead.

What initially appeared to be a tragic and unexplained death inside a luxury hotel room quickly became a murder investigation. As detectives dug into the couple's relationship, they uncovered allegations of obsession, control, jealousy, and a man who refused to accept that the relationship was over.

This episode breaks down the death of Samantha Mickleburgh, the evidence that contradicted James Cartwright's story, and the trial that exposed what prosecutors called a web of lies.

When emergency responders arrived at a Georgia home for a report of an unresponsive toddler, they expected to investigate a medical emergency.

Instead, investigators say they discovered six children living in conditions so disturbing that every room inside the house became part of the investigation. The oldest child, only 10 years old, was allegedly left to care for five younger siblings for hours without food while their mother was away.

This episode examines the heartbreaking death of one-year-old, the allegations against his mother,  and the disturbing history investigators say existed long before police arrived that morning.

In 1997, Yarmila Falater was found floating in her backyard pool after a brutal attack that left investigators searching for answers. The evidence quickly pointed to her husband, Scott Falater, a seemingly devoted husband, father, and churchgoing family man with no history of violence.

But Scott's defense would turn the entire case upside down.

He admitted he was responsible for Yarmila's death. He just claimed he was asleep when it happened.

This episode breaks down one of the most controversial murder trials in America and the question jurors had to answer: can someone commit a calculated murder while sleepwalking?

When a house fire broke out in rural Maine, first responders expected to find a tragic accident.

Instead, they uncovered something far more disturbing.

Inside the home were two victims, and investigators quickly focused on the one person who should have been grieving alongside everyone else. What followed was a years-long legal battle centered on mental illness, criminal responsibility, and one question that divided a courtroom: was this a young man suffering from severe schizophrenia, or someone who knew exactly what he was doing?

This episode breaks down the murders of Cheryl Cote and Daniel Perkins, the insanity defense, and the statement that prosecutors believed revealed the truth.

When Steven Beard woke up in the middle of the night, he thought his stomach had somehow burst open.

Instead, investigators discovered he had been shot while sleeping in his own bed.

What followed was an investigation involving a wealthy businessman, a much younger wife, Celese Beard, a secret relationship, allegations of manipulation, and claims of a murder-for-hire plot motivated by millions of dollars.

This episode breaks down the full timeline, from the shooting itself to the testimony that ultimately convinced a jury that Steven's murder was far bigger than a single trigger pull.

Ana Walshe was a successful real estate executive, devoted mother of three, and someone whose future seemed bright.

Then, on New Year's Day 2023, she vanished.


Her husband, Brian Walshe, claimed she left home for a work emergency and headed to Washington, D.C. But investigators soon discovered that Ana never arrived.

As detectives followed the evidence, they uncovered disturbing internet searches, surveillance footage, financial troubles, a secret affair, and evidence prosecutors argued pointed directly to murder.

This episode breaks down Ana's disappearance, the investigation, the defense's unusual explanation, the trial, and the conviction that followed.
