#2 Neil HowardOn September 13, 2023, 46-year-old Neil Howard was drunk when he attacked his 60-year-old mother, Norma Caraker in their home with a bungee cord. He wrapped it around her neck and left her body in her bed. He made an attempt to accuse an assailant that broke in, but was ultimately arrested as his story did not line up.

#3 Asia GuercyOn January 26, 2025, 25-year-old Asia Guercy and her friend, 31-year-old Charles Dark were ran off the road by a vehicle being drove by Asia's husband, 31-year-old Isaac Albert Perez.

#4 Sam NordquistSam was a 24-year-old bi-racial, transgender male who left his home in Minnesota to be with his lover he met online, 38-year-old Precious Arzauga. He was to stay with her for two weeks in Canandaigua, New York, but when his family stopped hearing from him from January to February 2025, they became concerned and sent police to check up on Room 22 at Patty's Lodge, a hotel considered a "last-resort" place for many down on their luck. Room 22 is where Sam and Precious had been staying. Sam's body was located on February 13 wrapped in plastic in a field about a 20-minute drive from the hotel. He had been beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted for over a month, held hostage at the hotel by seven perpetrators.
