On the evening of December 13, 2001 Early, Iowa wife and mother Tracey Richter was busy taking care of her 3 young children when 2 intruders appeared in her house and attempted to strangle her to death.  Tracey managed to break free, went for her safe, grabbed 2 handguns and  fired 11 shots at one of her attackers while the other fled the scene.  Nine of those bullets found their target, killing 20 year old Dustin Wehde, a young man who was not unfamiliar to the family.  Tracey was hailed a hero for saving her family from this violent attack for nearly 10 years...until a new investigator took a fresh look at a cold case.

The Murders Of Paul Vados & Kenneth McDavid Planned & Orchestrated by Septuagenarians Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt [Part 3]

This is the third part of a 3 part series. Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt met in the 1980s at a local Hollywood gym.  Before long, the two ladies became friends, and over time, that friendship grew into a complex, love/hate relationship as they came to find that they had much in common in terms of how they wanted to live their lives and earn their livings.  They teamed up to become a pair of unlikely con artists who befriend and took advantage of men.  After two decades, the tenuous relationship began to fracture as their crimes grew much more serious and the mistrust between them grew much deeper.

Alex Murdaugh Has Been Convicted Of  The June 7th, 2021 Murders Of His 22 Year Old Son, Paul & 52 Year Old Wife, Maggie [Part 2]

This is the second part of a 2 part series. The Murdaugh Family maintained a strong hold on the Solicitor's office in the Low Country Area of South Carolina for a Century.  That is until the 2019 actions of 19 year old Paul Murdaugh threaten to topple the Family Dynasty.  By the summer of 2021, his father Alex was realizing the boat crash Paul was responsible for that killed 19 year old Mallory Beach was on the verge of not only bringing down the family, but also expose the years upon years of financial crimes (and possible murders) that were about to be linked to him.  So in a convoluted and misguided effort to throw everyone off and save himself, Alex orchestrated the brutal murders of both his wayward son and his wife AND followed that up with a half-hearted "suicide" attempt of his own.  We covered this story back in January of 2022...this is how Alex's story has finally come to an end - for now.

The 1984 Murder of Miramonte High School Student 15 year old Kirsten Costas Perpetrated By Classmate Bernadette Protti

Kirsten Costas was on top of the world going into summer vacation 1984.  She would be joining the cheerleading team in the upcoming fall, she was on the varsity swim team, and she had just been recruited to join the school's elite social club for girls - The Bob-O-Links, or Bobbie's for short.  Her life would be tragically cut short on a Saturday night out to what Kirsten thought was an initiation dinner for the Bobbie's, and the identity of the killer would remain elusive for months.  When investigators finally arrested a suspect, the entire community of Ornida, California was stunned to find out who was behind the brutal killing.

The 1999 Murders of Clear Lake, California Retirees Donald And Mary Ann Duvardo Part 2 of 2

On April 6, 1999, the bodies of Don and Mary Ann Duvardo were discovered in their Clear Lake Home by their neighbor who had grown concerned after not having seen or heard from the couple for one week.  With one person of interest after another being eliminated, there was a fear this case - the very first double murder in Clear Lake - would grow cold.  That is until investigators found out someone close to the victims was leading a double life.
