In 2007, 13-year-old Paris Bennett brutally murdered his 4-year-old sister, Ella, in their Texas home. But what makes this case especially disturbing is his reported motive: to inflict unimaginable pain on their mother.
In this episode of Outline of a Murder, we examine the shocking crime, Paris's calculated actions, and the psychological questions surrounding a child capable of such violence. Was Paris born with a capacity for evil, or was something far more complicated at work?

In 1989, 18-year-old Kaitlyn Arquette was shot while driving through Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her murder would remain unsolved for more than three decades, while her mother, acclaimed author Lois Duncan, devoted years to finding out who killed her daughter and why.
The investigation became tangled in theories involving insurance fraud, suspicious connections and questions about whether Kait had been deliberately targeted. But more than 30 years later, a confession would turn the case in an entirely different direction—and reveal that the man responsible may have been much closer to the original investigation than anyone realized.
In this episode of Outline of a Murder, we break down Kaitlyn Arquette’s murder, the evidence and theories that kept her family searching for answers, the extraordinary 2021 confession that finally broke the case, and the painful irony that Lois Duncan died without ever knowing who killed her daughter.

In 2005, Bobbie Sue Hill, a 29-year-old mother of five, was found murdered near Aledo, Texas. Nearly a decade later, investigators believed they had found her killer: Larry Driskill, a man with no known connection to Bobbie who eventually confessed—but repeatedly said he had no memory of committing the crime.
Some evidence appeared to support the case against Driskill, while other details raised serious questions about the confession and the interrogation that produced it. Did investigators finally break a guilty man, or did an innocent man become convinced he might have committed a murder he couldn't remember?
In this episode of Outline of a Murder, we examine the evidence on both sides and ask: Is Larry Driskill guilty or innocent?

In March 1976, William Bradford Bishop Jr. murdered his wife, Annette, his mother, Lobelia, and his three young sons inside the family’s Maryland home. He then drove their bodies hundreds of miles to North Carolina, where they were discovered partially burned in a shallow grave.
Bishop’s bloodstained station wagon was later found abandoned in the Great Smoky Mountains—but Bishop had vanished. In this episode, we follow the brutal family murders, the evidence he left behind, reported sightings around the world, and the decades-long search for one of America’s most notorious fugitives.

In 1954, the murder of Honora Parker shocked New Zealand—not only because of the brutality of the crime, but because the two people responsible were teenage girls: her daughter, Pauline Parker, and Pauline’s close friend, Juliet Hulme. Pauline and Juliet had formed an intense friendship and created an elaborate private world together. When circumstances threatened to separate them, the girls became convinced that Pauline’s mother was the person standing in their way. What followed was not a sudden act of violence, but a murder they had planned in advance.
In this episode, we break down the relationship between Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, the events leading to Honora Parker’s murder, the evidence that revealed the girls’ planning, their sensational trial, and what happened to both of them after their release from prison—including Juliet Hulme’s remarkable later life under an entirely different name.
