On Sunday March 24th, 2013, 53-year-old Aliza Sherman told her son Jeremy that she had some errands to run and needed to stop by her divorce attorney's office, but that she would be home later with pizza. When 7:45 rolled around, Jeremy got concerned and called his sister who lived a few miles away. But when his sister got to their house, they were met by a police officer who told them the devastating news: their mother had been killed only a few hours earlier, stabbed to death in downtown Cleveland. 
Aliza had been there to meet with her lawyer about her impending divorce trial from her estranged husband, Sanford. Sanford had been stealing money from the family and had been threatening Aliza. But when police looked into the case of who would have wanted to kill a seemingly upstanding, innocent woman the answer was even more bizarre than anyone could have imagined.

On Sunday, June 26th, 2004, a 17-year-old rising High School senior named Craig Frear left his friend's house and went home and grabbed his shirt for his shift at the Price Chopper, a local grocery store in Glenville, New York. Craig had been working at the Price Chopper for two years and had recently been promoted from bagger to working at the dairy counter. But when Craig's mom stopped in to say hello to Craig that afternoon, she was told Craig was not there. When Craig's dad stopped in an hour later, he was told that Craig had been fired five weeks prior because he had not been showing up for work.
Craig's dad tracked him down to a girlfriends' apartment complex and saw his car was in the parking lot. But right as his dad arrived to talk to Craig, Craig had set out on foot along a walking path that ran along some train tracks that also led him directly to his backyard, about a mile or a mile and a half away. He had told his mother that he was coming home to explain about the Price Chopper situation. But Craig never made it home that day and has never been seen since. He simply vanished. During the more than two decade search for him, some strange things would come to light in the days before Craig's disappearance. What had happened to this popular, smart and well-liked young man? What happened to Craig Frear?

On May 5th, 2004, a fisherman named Chris Henkle and his buddy Don took their kids out of school for the day to go fishing on Chesapeake Bay by the Bay Bridge Tunnel, an 18-mile long bridge that connects Eastern Virginia to Virginia Beach. In the water, they spotted a Kenneth Cole suitcase floating by. Opening the case, they found a set of human male legs cut off from the knee wrapped in a black trash bag. Over the next few days, on Virginia Beach, the man's torso and pelvis washed up, preserved in the same set of Kenneth Cole luggage.
The man was Bill McGuire and he and his wife Melanie lived in Woodbridge, New Jersey with their two young children. Over the next few months, police would investigate Bill's wife Melanie and uncover a life of lies, deception, affairs and most tragically of all...murder.
