June 18, 2023 was supposed to be a great day for Stockton Rush. He was piloting his Titan submersible down to see the wreckage of the RMS Titanic with Paul-Henri Nargeolet and three paying crewmembers aboard; Hamish Harding as well as Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. The three had paid a total of $750,000 for the opportunity. Rush wanted to get people down to the depths to feel the excitement he did whenever he went. Unfortunately, the sub was lost and after a huge search and rescue effort was launched, many wanted to know what had gone wrong...

Georgia, 1968. A college student is kidnapped from the hotel room she and her mom were staying in. Her captors place her in a fiberglass box, bury it in the ground, and demand $500,000 from her wealthy parents for her safe return. But while the crime was seemingly well planned, it wouldn't go smoothly.

On the northwest corner of 128th street and 5th Avenue in New York City’s Harlem, you’ll find a small, gated park that seems odd and out of place. Collyer Park sits where a once proud brownstone stood. The so-called Collyer Mansion, or Ghost House, that was torn down, ironically, after an odd and out of place duo finally wore out their welcome there; The Collyer Brothers.
