Caroline tells Jane about the completely senseless and utterly heart wrenching murder of Sam Poss. Sam was a quirky teen who danced to the beat of his own drum. Kind and comfortable in his own skin, Sam was the captain of his high school's drumline and loved computers. One night, a peer gave him a call asking for help with a video game, and Sam rushed over to give him a hand....and that was the last time he was ever seen alive.

Jane tells Caroline about the heart wrenching murder of Holly Maddux. In 1972, when Philadelphia's local hippie hero Ira Einhorn meets the beautiful Earth Mother Holly Maddux, it seems like a love story written in the stars. But, five years later after the pair part ways, Holly returns to Ira's apartment to gather her belongings and is never seen again.

Caroline continues to tell Jane the infamous story of Pamela Smart in Part 2. When Pamela finds her husband, Gregg, shot dead in their entryway, she appears to be a shocked, grieving widow. But, it's not long before the police uncover that 22-year-old Pamela had been having a criminal and highly inappropriate sexual relationship with a local high school student. Pamela's soon becomes a prime suspect and the media spares no time labeling her a black widow master manipulator.

Jane tells Caroline about the Starbucks triple homicide. In 1997, the upscale Georgetown community is shocked when three young baristas are found shot and killed in the backroom of a local Starbucks. One of the victims is found with the keys to the safe clutched in her hands, but upon investigation police find that not a dollar of the over $10,000 stored in the coffee shop's safe has been taken. After it becomes public knowledge that one of the victims was an intern for President Bill Clinton people begin to wonder whether what at first glance appeared to be robbery gone wrong could be something much more sinister.

Caroline tells Jane about the VERY mysterious disappearance of Brandon Lawson. In August 2013, Brandon was driving to his parents house in rural Texas when he disappeared without a trace.

Caroline tells Jane about the very mysterious disappearance and murder of Molly Bish. In the summer of 2000, 16-year-old Molly vanished in a matter of minutes from her job as a lifeguard at a small pond in Warren, Massachusetts. Her mother remembers seeing a creepy man staring at Molly the day before, but other than that, the clues are sparse. Although the subsequent years have produced quite a few suspects, the case remains unsolved.

On the Case with Paula Zahn S21 Ep8

Jane tells Caroline about the mysterious murder of Gail Katz. At first, when Gail meets Robert “Bob” Bierenbaum, a charming surgical resident with his pilot’s license, he seems too good to be true, but it’s not long before he shows his true colors and her dream man becomes a nightmare. When Gail goes missing without a trace in July 1985, decades pass before the truth comes up.
