In 1999, a Jericho, NY homeowner finds a 55-gallon barrel in the crawlspace of his home. The barrel contained the remains of a pregnant woman in her late 20’s. The woman’s purse was at the bottom of the barrel, and inside was a little phone book that would contain all of the answers to this nightmare. Detectives will follow a string of clues that would lead them to a small retirement community in Boca Raton, Florida where they would come face to face with a monster.

In the early morning hours of Thanksgiving 1995, a 911 call was placed in Fairfax County, Virginia. Michael Lee had just returned home from a night out to find his neighbor, Elizabeth Harper, running towards him in his yard. Her house was on fire, and she just jumped from a second story window to escape the flames. Her elderly mother and 2 children, Anne (20) and Matt (18), could still be inside. After fire investigators search the home, they find the body of Anne Harper. But, it appeared that Anne had been bludgeoned with a rolling pin and stabbed with a kitchen knife. Who did this to Anne Harper on what was supposed to be a day of thankfulness and gratitude? The Harper's appeared to be a loving family on the outside, but we don't always know what is going on behind closed doors.

In the summer of 1993, an Upstate NY community was horrified when 12-year-old Sara Anne Wood went missing. Sara's abduction inspired the community, the public, and law enforcement to raise awareness about child safety and missing children. Five months would pass before police would receive a game changing lead. Another 12-year-old girl escaped an attempted abduction in Pittsfield, MA leading police to a man named Lewis Lent Jr. Investigators would unravel a terrifying trail of a serial killer that lived under the radar for years.

In the end, this is the inspiring story of a family that never gave up hope. A family that still continues to fight for justice. A family that believes that the importance of teaching child safety education to prevent child abduction is crucial in our society. The Wood family remains an inspiration to their community. This is the story of Sara Anne Wood.

Shanda Sharer was a 12-year-old girl who was murdered on January 11, 1992, in Madison County, Indiana. The case drew widespread attention due to its brutality and the young age of the perpetrators.

Melinda Loveless, 16, and her friends, Laurie Tackett, 17, Toni Lawrence, 15, and Hope Rippey, 15, drove Shanda to a remote area, where she was subjected to physical and sexual abuse before being set on fire and left to die.

Five young lives collided on one horrific night that ended in tragedy. A love triangle that led to a crime of jealousy.

A terrified woman called 911 on October 31st, 2015 after witnessing a shocking scene outside of her apartment. She had just started to wind down for the evening. Enjoying a scary movie on Halloween night when her front door flew open. As she cautiously tried to close her door, she was horrified to see a man dressed as Jason from Friday the 13th standing over a woman on the ground. He had a gun pointed down towards the woman's face. Not knowing what to do, she slammed her door shut, and ran for cover in her own home. It was at that moment that she heard a knock on her door. Was this a Halloween prank? Was this a real life nightmare? And, who was at her front door? Halloween would never be the same for a grieving family after the events that occurred on October 31st, 2015.

In the early morning hours of December 6, 2004, college student Jason Aymami ran into a convenience store covered in blood. He told the clerk to call 911 because his roommate, Johnia Berry, needed help. They had both been stabbed in their apartment. 21-year-old Johnia Berry was found at the bottom of the stairs in her apartment building. She fought hard, but did not survive. Was this a crime of passion? Was this murder caused by a jealous friend? A jealous fiancée? Was this a home invasion? Johnia’s family, along with a team of dedicated detectives, would fight for nearly 3 years to find out who stole Johnia’s life.
