July 26 Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets
This episode outlines the ongoing forensic investigation at Fox Hollow Farm, the former estate of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister. Decades after nearly 10,000 human bone fragments were discovered on the property, a renewed effort led by Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison is using advanced DNA technology and genetic genealogy to identify the remaining victims. These developments are highlighted in a 2026 Hulu documentary that explores fresh leads, identifies new victims like Daniel Thomas Halloran, and investigates the possibility that Baumeister may have had accomplices. While many fragments remain untested, the project aims to provide closure for families who have spent thirty years seeking answers about their missing loved ones. The sources emphasize that this cold case is now a modern forensic pursuit that continues to challenge the original 1990s findings.

July 26 The Tragic Case of Deborah Sue Schatz
The episode recounts the 1984 murder of Deborah "May" Schatz, a young postal worker who was killed by David Port while delivering mail in a wealthy Texas neighborhood. The narrative highlights the senseless nature of the crime, as Port shot the stranger for no apparent reason and later confessed with a chilling lack of emotion. Beyond the tragedy of Schatz's death, the source examines the legal and social firestorm that erupted when Port’s affluent parents refused to testify, citing religious grounds. This defiance led to a protracted legal battle that polarized the community along lines of social class and faith. Ultimately, the account details the profound grief of the Schatz family and their frustration with a justice system that allowed the killer to be released early due to mandatory sentencing laws. This overview serves as a somber reflection on a landmark criminal case that continues to haunt Houston's history.

July 25 Woman Learns Charles Manson Was Her Grandfather After DNA Test
The episode recounts how Sophia Maddox and her father, Daniel Arguelles, discovered their biological connection to the infamous cult leader Charles Manson through a 2022 DNA test.

July 25 Teacher Brutally Murdered After Partying at Florida Bar
This episode details the criminal case of Matthew Terry, who was convicted of the first-degree murder of Kay Baker, a third-grade teacher in Florida. After a night out, Terry brutally attacked Baker following a jealous dispute at a bar, leaving her nearly decapitated in a neighbor's yard. A critical element of the prosecution was the testimony of Michelle Rogers, a former girlfriend who survived a strikingly similar knife attack by Terry in Michigan years prior. Although the defense suggested a fictional intruder was responsible, the jury found the evidence of Terry's premeditated violence undeniable. Terry was eventually sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, escaping the death penalty despite the severity of his actions.

July 25 Romance and Crime Author Charged with Killing Motel Owner
In the small town of White Sulphur Springs, Montana, romance author Kyle Ann Morrow has been charged with deliberate homicide following the fatal shooting of motel owner Gene Gudmundson. The 73-year-old novelist allegedly entered the Spa Hot Springs Motel, where she was once an employee, and shot the victim before confessing the act to a witness and in handwritten notes. Investigators are currently exploring the striking parallels between this real-life tragedy and Morrow’s self-published fiction, which frequently features violent themes and firearm use. Although the victim’s wife had previously supported Morrow’s literary career, the author now faces life imprisonment as the community grapples with the loss of a well-known businessman. This case has drawn significant attention due to the suspect's age and the unsettling overlap between her dark "rodeo erotica" stories and the alleged crime. Morrow remains in custody on a million-dollar bond while the legal process unfolds in a town unaccustomed to such high-profile violence.
