  • Chloe Hoson
    Born on the 8th of January in 1998, little Chloe Louise Hoson never made it through her first year of school; her life cut horrifically short at the hands of another. Her killer, despite admitting to murder and giving graphic details of Chloe’s last moments, including his actions afterwards, is now a free man; living alone and un-monitored, close to schools, in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia.
    This is the story of 5-year-old, Chloe Louise Hoson.

  • Amanda Plasse
    At 6:47pm on the 26th of August 2011, a frantic 911 call shattered the otherwise somewhat peaceful city of Chicopee, located on the Connecticut River in Hampden County, Western Massachusetts.
    Despite the crime rates of this area being quite high and well above the national average, its level of violent crimes is relatively low; so low in fact that in 2011 only one murder was reported.
    This is the story of 20-year-old Amanda Plasse.

  • Viviane Ruiz
    In 1991, when the body of a young woman was found discarded in a light industrial area south of Sydney, detectives thought she would be identified quickly. It was Christmas, and if someone's loved one was missing, this was definitely the time of year where it most likely wouldn't go un-noticed. 
    This is the story of Viviane Ruiz.

  • Jennifer, Adrian and Sarah De Gruchy
    Wayne and Jennifer De Gruchy and their three children were your typical Aussie family, living in Shellharbour’s middle-class suburb of Albion Park Rail, approximately 100km east of the NSW capital of Sydney.
    Every Monday morning Wayne would make the hour and half commute up to Sydney where he worked, and it was not uncommon for him to spend the night at his parents' place if he’d had a long day, and this is where he was on the evening of Tuesday the 12th of March in 1996. Wayne had called Jenny earlier that day to let her know that he wouldn’t be home, just as Jenny was getting ready to go pick up their two youngest children, 15-year-old Adrian and 13-year-old Sarah from school. What Wayne didn’t know was that this quick phone call would be the last time he spoke to his wife, and that within hours, Jenny and two of their three children would be brutally murdered.
    This is the story of Jennifer, Adrian and Sarah De Gruchy.
