The Jury's Verdict

When the double murder of Annette Schnee and Bobby Jo Oberholtzer occurred in Breckenridge, Colorado in 1982, a search to find the killer was initiated. However, after months and months of searching, the investigators couldn't determine the culprit. But decades later, the culprit was finally found. And after doing some more digging, the investigators determined that the culprit had also been destined to die that day, after committing the murders. His life had just been luckily saved.

When Mengqi Ji went missing, the detectives were reaching dead end after dead end. They were fairly certain that the perpetrator of the crime was Mengqi's husband Joe Elledge, but they just didn't have any evidence to prove it. That was until the DNA of vegetation, specifically, trees, helped provide crucial evidence that cemented who the perpetrator was, once and for all.

When Raynella Leath's husband died in a farming accident, she was viewed with pity. But when Raynella Leath's second husband died, she was viewed with suspicion. Because both her husbands had died in such mysterious circumstances, the people of her town couldn't help but call her Black Widow, a term used to call a killer who kills their husbands. But as Raynella was put on trial, the outcome would shock everyone.

In one's lifetime, one will most likely experience a couple close calls. Regardless of what the context behind those close calls is, close calls are bound to happen at one point or another. However, for law enforcement, it is imperative that these close calls are rare. Because the accuracy behind their work puts so many lives at risk. But in 1995, the Springfield Police Department experienced an extremely close call when they almost let Mark Winger, who cheated on his wife, get away with killing his wife, Donnah Winger, and Rodger Harrington.

We've all experienced jealousy at some point in our lives before, but I doubt that most of us would go so far as to commit a crime because of that jealousy. Let alone, to the mother of our children. But that is exactly what Adam Fravel did when he found out that his girlfriend, Maddi Kingsbury, was going to leave him. And yet, with the help of social media, Maddi's family was able to help bring justice to Maddi and hold Adam accountable.

When Heather Bogle was found in the trunk of a car brutally murdered, an investigation led by Detective Sean O'Connell was launched. However, by the time justice for Heather was truly served, more than one person would be in jail. And the other people might not be who you expected at all. Because they were part of the team conducting the investigation itself.

What lengths would you go to, to keep your secret safe? Well for Nick Firkus, he was willing to create a web of lies. But once those lies were in danger of being uncovered, he knew he needed to do something to prevent everyone from finding out the truth. So what did he decide to do? He decided to kill his wife, Heidi Firkus.

Jealousy can drive people to do some pretty crazy things. But can it drive people to try to kill others? The answer: is absolutely yes. In fact, jealousy is what partially motivated Tim Amacher to manipulate someone to the point where he convinced them to go shoot his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Lenway, for him. The reason? Maybe because Nicole had moved on to another man, and that man was becoming more involved in their child's life.

There is a good side and a bad side to everything, including

social media. While social media might suck up loads of our time, it can also be used for good causes, and that's what Megan Kingsbury used it for when she used TikTok to try and raise awareness about her missing sister Maddi Kingsbury. While TikTok might've helped in the efforts to find Maddi, what the police found when they did find her, was truly devastating.

When Crystal McDowell went missing, there were a lot of people the police were suspecting. Her current boyfriend, her uncle, etc. But out of those names at the top of their list, Steve McDowell wasn't one of them. At least, not initially.
