  • The Case of Zainab Amin Ansari

    In January 2018, the heart of Pakistan was shaken by the tragic death of a little girl. Seven-year-old Zainab Amin Ansari vanished while walking to her Qur’an class in her hometown of Kasur, Punjab. ⁠


    Five days later, her body was discovered in a garbage dump near Lahore. An autopsy revealed she had been brutally raped, tortured, and strangled.

    Her murder exposed deep failures in child protection, law enforcement, and societal safeguards, and ignited a nationwide outcry for justice.


    This is the story of Zainab, and the fight to ensure no child suffers the same fate.

  • The Case of Ernie Ibarra

    What started as a toxic marriage in East Texas would end in cold-blooded murder. When 28-year-old Samantha Wohlford’s husband, Ernie Ibarra, was found beaten and left for dead, police uncovered a shocking truth... This wasn’t a robbery gone wrong. It was a planned execution, carried out by four men at Samantha’s request. A failed YouTuber obsessed with attention, Samantha believed she could get away with murder and turn tragedy into fame. But the truth behind Ernie Ibarra’s death would prove darker... and far more twisted... than anyone could have imagined.
