A good kind couple who cared deeply for family are murdered along with a disabled relative they also took care of.

It's a murder for hire, or is it?

A young married couple are victims of a home invasion and the wife is killed. 

It takes over a decade for the perpetrator to be convicted and justice served.

The perpetrator followed a similar trajectory to how the first case unfolded which reignited suspicions that one of the victims, wasn’t actually a victim.

Workplace disagreements happen all the time and sometimes Management have to step in, especially when someone is physically assaulted.

Its usually inevitable that the offending worker is dismissed.  What is not usual is the deaths that follow.

Was he slowly going downhill for quite some time and no one noticed?  Or did he just explode at the perceived injustice?

People disappear all the time and murder victims get labelled incorrectly as runaways.

But sometimes its voluntary, people want to start a new life unburdened by their past.

Such a plan this week required a body so that the runaway would not be looked for by authorities and to pay out insurance to their family.

What’s a little murder between an employer and employee?

A troubled teen turned into a miserable adult.

 Being absent in his relationship and neglecting his parter resulted in an *unexpected* outcome, his wife had enough and filed for divorce.

Was it resentment at being “abandoned” in his words, or was it that she had moved on with her life that made him commit the most heinous of crimes.

Being involved in politics requires a certain amount of ones private life being scrutinised.

Being the child of a politician may cause you to grow up differently to your peers.  

It may also give you ideas on how to deal with people that are not doing what you want them to.

Are you entitled or completely off the rails?

Thomas Seatt was a quiet man but behind closed doors, he was a predator.

Between the years of 1998-2004 he preyed on young women across the Midwest, luring them in before brutally ending their lives. For years, police struggled to connect the crimes as Seatt was careful, methodical and always one step ahead.

William’s childhood appeared normal and uneventful until around the age of 17, when things began to take a darker turn and he started accumulating a criminal record.

As an adult his behavior spiraled further, leading him into a life of serious crimes. For years, he managed to evade justice despite being involved in increasingly heinous acts.

Was his descent into violence triggered by an alleged drug debt, or was it simply the inevitable outcome of the path he had chosen?

Adopted at birth, Joshua began exhibiting troubling behaviors as early as age five.

Despite numerous doctors and diagnoses, nothing seemed to help, by the age of 14, his behavior had escalated to the point where he was sent to a boarding school that also served as a residential care facility. 

Was his eventual act of destroying his family a response to learning about his adoption? Or was it an inevitable outcome, simmering beneath the surface all along?
