This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson examines two killings that shook the music world — both committed by fans whose admiration turned to obsession.
First, in 1980, 25-year-old Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon outside The Dakota in New York City. Once a devoted Beatles fan, Chapman’s delusions and fixation on The Catcher in the Rye pushed him to murder the very man whose music had once inspired him.
Then, in 2004, heavy metal icon Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan was gunned down on stage in Columbus, Ohio, by a mentally unstable fan who believed the guitarist had betrayed him.
From rock legends to metal heroes, these stories reveal how fame, fanaticism, and untreated mental illness can collide — with devastating consequences.

This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson unravels two of history’s most mysterious vanishings — both stranger than fiction.
First, in 1926, the “Queen of Mystery” herself, Agatha Christie, vanished after a late-night drive. Her abandoned car sparked an 11-day nationwide search that baffled police, fellow authors, and millions of readers. When she finally reappeared, Agatha claimed to remember nothing — leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries she ever created.
Then, rewind to 1875, when infamous New York City politician William “Boss” Tweed escaped from jail after embezzling millions. His disappearance led to an international manhunt — and it was a political cartoon that finally brought him down.
From literary legends to crooked power brokers, these disappearances prove that truth can be far more mysterious than fiction.

This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson revisits two of America’s most shocking and unforgettable crimes — cases that defined their eras and captured the nation’s imagination.
First, the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping, a crime so sensational it was called “the trial of the century.” When famed aviator Charles Lindbergh’s infant son vanished, a desperate nationwide manhunt ensued — and the suspect who finally faced justice would go to his death claiming innocence.
Then, travel to Dallas, 1963, as nightclub owner Jack Ruby guns down Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy. In one televised moment, Ruby ensured the world would never hear Oswald’s side — leaving behind one of history’s most enduring mysteries.
From ransom notes to conspiracy theories, these are the crimes that changed America forever.

This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson explores the twisted lives of two of history’s most notorious prisoners. First, the story of Charles Manson, the manipulative cult leader whose “Family” turned peace and love into terror. From failed musician to prophet of “Helter Skelter,” Manson’s descent into madness culminated in one of the most chilling murder sprees in American history. Then, meet Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz.” Though immortalized as a gentle animal lover, the real Stroud was a violent killer who spent more than 40 years in solitary confinement. His obsession with canaries and his unlikely fame reveal the strange line between redemption and myth. Two men. Two cells. One shared legacy of infamy.
