There would be a quadruple homicide on Christmas Eve in Winter Garden, Florida. A young woman, her parents and another individual would be found murdered in a local furniture store. The young woman’s husband, Tommy Zeigler, would be arrested and charged with all four murders and sentenced to death. However, as Tommy still sits behind bars today awaiting his execution date, many people believe he is an innocent man and this may be his very last chance at freedom and life. We’re going to dig into the key players, the timeline, the scene and the evidence as well as where this case stands today in 2022.

27-year-old Angela Schultz Shiers Barrentine was supposed to attend Thanksgiving dinner at her grandparents’ home that evening. She had promised them just the day prior and assured them that she would be there. When she didn’t show up to dinner and no one could reach her, her family decided it was time to file a missing person’s report. Months would go by with no sightings of Angela until her body was discovered in her truck, upside down in a river in west-central Mississippi. Her death was deemed suspicious, with no real answers as to what happened to her and how she wound up in the river bed. Yet, 18 years later, her family still does not have the truth of it all.

Mother of three, Darlie Routier, would call 911 in the early morning hours of June 6th, 1996, to report that an intruder had stabbed her two young sons to death in her home. Darlie had also been stabbed but would recover from her injuries. Her behavior after her boys were laid to rest made many people wonder if she was really the grieving mother she was supposed to be. After the scene was processed, the witnesses were interviewed, and the evidence collected - everything pointed in one direction. Darlie Routier was not another victim in the attack, she was the perpetrator. She would be arrested for the murders of her sons, found guilty and sentenced to death. She still sits on death row to this day and has never wavered in maintaining her innocence. And there are many people who believe she is an innocent woman. But what does the DNA say?

In the last episode, I covered the case of Reagan Hancock, who was murdered and had her baby cut out of her stomach by an acquaintance. In that case, both the mother and the baby died from the attack. But what would have happened if the baby lived and was raised by their kidnapper and the mother survived the attack?

Tonight we’re going to talk about a case where that is nearly what happened. A mother’s intuition is real - and Luz Cuevas is living proof of that. Authorities and fire experts would tell her that her newborn baby had perished in an accidental fire - but Luz always felt like her daughter was alive. Is it possible she survived the fire or was she ever in the fire at all? We’re talking about the case of Delimar Vera, the little girl who lived two different lives.

You never truly know who a person is or what they’re capable of. Trust no one. I wish it didn’t have to be this way. I wish that all people on this Earth were good people. But there are so many bad people out there and they’re often disguised as friends. Tonight we’re talking about the ultimate betrayal between a young pregnant woman and her jealous so-called friend. 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock was pregnant with her 2nd baby girl until 27-year-old Taylor Parker decided to take it all away from her, by cutting her baby from her womb in a vicious attack. Both Reagan, and her baby Braxlynn, would die from the attack. Only after an arrest was made and the case went to trial would we learn how truly sinister the perpetrator, Taylor Parker, is.

Beautiful little 10-year-old Candace Elizabeth Newmaker had a difficult childhood right from the beginning. She came from a family that not only struggled with poverty but she and her siblings would be taken away from their parents due to neglect. Everything was supposed to get better when she was adopted by a woman named Jeane Elizabeth Newmaker. But according to Jeane, Candace wasn’t the child she thought she was adopting. She claimed Candace was defiant mischievous and completely distant from her. Instead of getting her any kind of real help, Jeane thought the new mother and daughter would best be connected through a rebirthing ceremony. Only the ceremony didn’t go as planned, and 10-year-old Candace wouldn’t walk out of it alive.

Tonight I am covering a high-profile active investigation into the disappearance of 20-month-old toddler Quinton Simon, who went missing on October 5th of this year, just three weeks ago. He was last seen at his home in Savannah, Georgia in the care of his mother’s boyfriend, Danny Youngkin. At this point in time, Quinton is presumed dead but his body has not been located. His mother, Leilani Simon, is the one who reported him missing - however, she is also the primary suspect, and she’s not cooperating with the investigation. We’re going to dig into the history, the timeline and the most current updates that have been released by the police. It’s time to put the pressure on and get people talking about little Quinton.

Cindy James was a 44-year-old woman from the Vancouver, B.C. area. She lived a distraught and difficult life - and, allegedly she was plagued most of her life by a stalker who simply would not leave her alone. Over a 7-year period, she would be harassed by an unknown individual, leading to more than 100 police reports of stalking. They would call her to threaten her or breathe into the phone until she hung up in a panic. They would lurk around her home at night, even going as far as to cut her phone line. Authorities were puzzled by the lack of evidence and many believed that Cindy was making up the whole thing for attention.

Everything would come to a head when Cindy disappeared in May of 1989. Just two weeks later, her body would be found at the abandoned house, battered, bruised, strangled and bound. In what looked like an apparent homicide, the police would take a different approach to their investigation. They believed that this was all a part of Cindy’s mental health issues and she had likely unalived herself, making it appear like murder - but Cindy’s family firmly believed that she had finally been killed by her long-time stalker and a murderer was allowed to walk free.
