Between 1979 and 1981, approximately 29 murders occurred in the Atlanta area. The victims, all young black children, were found callously discarded. Their deaths left their families devastated, and the community in shambles. Investigators say that they worked tirelessly to find the killer and prevent more murders, and they would finally have some luck.
Wayne Williams was apprehended for the killings of two young men in Atlanta, who were believed to be victims of the serial killer. The investigators quickly began wondering if there was more to it, and they quickly began suspecting that he was the perpetrator behind the infamous Atlanta Child Murders.
And it would appear that they were correct.
After his conviction for the two murders, the killings stopped altogether. But somehow, doubts persist regarding his true involvement. Some question whether he was genuinely responsible or merely a convenient scapegoat for law enforcement. Some even say that he took the fall for the murders and that they were committed by the Ku Klux Klan.
One day in Austin Texas, a 20-year-old woman left home to spend time with a friend at the movies. But instead of reaching the movie theater, she found herself at a local bar, where her fate took a mysterious turn. The woman and her friend crossed paths with two unidentified men. The rest remains shrouded in mystery. Nearly five decades have passed with countless unanswered questions haunting those touched by her story. This is the case, of Jennifer Barton.

If there is one dream that you could say is universal, it's becoming a millionaire. Having all the money at your disposal to live whatever type of life you want is a reality for so few people, they're literally known as the "one percent". This dream is especially hard to reach as a black person, unless you want to become an entertainer. But there was one man who defied the odds and started a successful business. Sadly, his success ended with his life at the hands of a scorned lover. This is the case of Lance Herndon.

September 26, 2023, marked seven years since the disappearance of a young black woman. On this tragic anniversary, the young woman’s mother stood in front of a crowd of people and said something very bold. It turns out that for months, the police have kept the identity of a person of interest a secret. They claimed that they were so uncertain of his involvement in the case, that they didn’t want the public to know who he was. That wasn’t enough for this mother. She knew that this man was one of the last to see her alive. She knew that this man had gone to jail for hurting young black women before. She even spoke to the man, and she knew that he was lying about what happened to her daughter that night. Without the help of the police, she decided to take matters into her own hands. This is the story of Keeshay Jacobs.

In May 2016, a 19-year-old from Tumwater, Washington disappeared. Drivers spotted his car abandoned on the highway with his wallet, cash, food, and his cell phone. The Investigators in this case don’t have any evidence of foul play, but consider the missing person’s case suspicious nonetheless. This young man just vanished into thin air and left little to no evidence that could help us figure out what happened to him. The hope is that the attention on this story will help spark someone’s memory. This is the case of Logan Shendleman.

On the morning of Thursday, July 20th, 1995, a woman placed a call to nine one one. Speaking in a calm and composed manner, she informed the dispatcher that her adopted daughter was nowhere to be found. Following the oddly calm distress call, a substantial number of police officers and volunteers descended upon the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma Washington to search for the little girl. The focal point of their efforts was the nearby Target store. Despite their exhaustive search that lasted several hours on that fateful Thursday, they found no trace of her. It was as though she had vanished without a trace.

The serene atmosphere was interrupted when a distress call reached the police dispatch shortly before twelve thirty a.m.. The operator asked whether police, fire, or medical assistance was required, and The response came urgently. "Police. I've been shot. I've been shot."

He didn’t have a single enemy. In fact, he was consistently described as "everybody's friend". On one hand, he was known as a quiet homebody who kept to himself. On the other hand, there wasn't a person he came across who didn't love their interaction with him. But there was one night where that was challenged. The young man was in a place where he was immediately seen as an outsider, and he was surrounded by friends who continued to leave him throughout the night. By the time it was all said and done, the young man was gone forever. To this day, no one can provide any answers for his mother. This is the case of Alonzo Brooks.
