This week’s Weekly Docket covers six major true crime cases making headlines right now.

First, we break down the arrest of Florida nurse Rene Perez in the brutal killing of his coworker and affair partner Linda Campitelli, a case investigators say was solved through WhatsApp messages, surveillance footage, and cellphone data.

Then we head to Hall County, Georgia, where beloved teacher and coach Jason Hughes was killed during a senior prank gone tragically wrong. We get into the “Junior-Senior Wars” context, the charges against student Jayden Wallace, and the emotional response from Hughes’ family.

Next, we cover the Utah trial of nurse Meggan Sundwall, who is accused of convincing her friend Kacee Terry that she had terminal cancer before allegedly killing her with an insulin overdose in what prosecutors describe as a years-long manipulation scheme.

We also discuss the heartbreaking case out of Queensland, Australia, where Kate Paterson and her 1-year-old daughter April were found dead after the child’s father, Blake Seers, was hit by a car while fleeing.

From there, we move to Queens, New York, where Rupchand Simboo, 75, is accused of murdering his 34-year-old wife Salisha Ali and scattering her dismembered remains across multiple locations over several months.

And finally, we break down the federal terrorism case involving Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, the two Pennsylvania teens accused of planning an ISIS-inspired bomb attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City.

From the outside, Michael and Natalie Cochran looked like a successful, involved West Virginia family — youth sports, church, a growing business, and a life that seemed to be taking off.

But when millions of dollars in promised government contracts never materialized and Michael suddenly collapsed at home with critically low blood sugar, the polished image began to crack.

What started as a fraud investigation eventually turned into something far darker. In this episode, we walk through the rise of Tactical Solutions Group, the mounting financial pressure, the events of February 6, 2019, and the six-year road that led to a life-without-parole sentence.

This is the case of Michael and Natalie Cochran.

In 1992, the brutal murder of an 18-year-old young woman shocked a quiet English community and sent police searching for a violent, experienced predator. The crime scene suggested someone dangerous, deliberate, and deeply sadistic — but the investigation would eventually uncover a truth no one was prepared to face.

This episode explores a case that defies expectations and challenges long-held assumptions about violence, psychology, and where evil comes from. It’s a story about how investigators got it wrong for years, how warning signs went unnoticed, and how one young woman’s life was reduced to evidence — while the person responsible hid in plain sight.

Some cases force us to ask uncomfortable questions.

This is one of them.
