True Crime News

Neste episódio completo, investigamos um crime brutal capturado em plena luz do dia por câmeras de segurança. Em San Antonio, no Texas, Giovanni Pera Paschal, de 40 anos, foi flagrado pelas câmeras de um posto de gasolina Valero atirando na namorada, Deanna Mason, de 34 anos, após uma discussão [citation:1]. O vídeo mostra Paschal sacando a arma e atirando contra Mason, que caiu no chão ferida no peito e na cabeça. Ela foi levada ao hospital, mas não resistiu aos ferimentos. A polícia prendeu Paschal dias depois, e ele foi indiciado por homicídio doloso, aguardando julgamento sob fiança de US$ 150 mil [citation:1].

Neste episódio arrepiante do Crimes and Consequences, exploramos a perturbadora história de jovens que, aos olhos da vizinhança, pareciam "o garoto da casa ao lado" — educados, tranquilos e normais — mas que escondiam uma escuridão capaz de transformá-los em assassinos frios e sádicos. Mergulhamos em dois casos chocantes que revelam como a normalidade aparente pode mascarar uma radicalização mortal e uma sede insaciável por violência.
Analisamos o caso de Gregory Scott Hale, o autoproclamado satanista do Tennessee que, após anos alimentando uma obsessão perversa na escuridão da internet, concretizou seu maior desejo: matar, desmembrar e devorar uma pessoa. Investigamos como Hale atraiu sua vítima, uma mãe de seis filhos, para sua casa, e como seu erro — pedir emprestado uma escavadeira a um vizinho para enterrar os restos mortais — acabou por expô-lo à justiça. O relato do promotor sobre a cena do crime revela o nível de brutalidade e frieza deste assassino que, por fim, foi condenado à prisão perpétua [citation:2].
Em contraste, examinamos o perfil de assassinos em série como Jon Dunkle, que, de acordo com a análise forense, já demonstrava comportamento antissocial desde tenra idade. Dunkle, que não apresentava sinais clássicos de violência prévia, iludiu a comunidade por anos enquanto matava três crianças, frustrando uma investigação policial que carecia de recursos e provas concretas [citation:8]. Este episódio explora a complexa psicologia por trás desses indivíduos, o processo de sua radicalização e as consequências devastadoras de seus atos, além de abordar as falhas do sistema que permitiram que continuassem matando.

In this full episode, we investigate the brutal 2023 murder of beloved Washington D.C. photographer and father Joe Shymanski. What began as a missing person report quickly turned into a nightmare when detectives discovered his dismembered and burned remains in a field over 200 miles away in Pennsylvania. The prime suspect? A man with a dark past and a connection to Shymanski's ex-wife. But why did this happen, and did the ex-wife know more than she let on? Join us as we unravel a case filled with surveillance footage, shocking evidence, and a family's desperate search for the full truth behind a crime that defied belief.

In this full episode of "True Crime News," we investigate the chilling case of Chris Coleman, a bodyguard for a famous televangelist who left Manson-style messages after brutally murdering his wife and two young sons. Coleman's double life of sin and violence unraveled as investigators uncovered the shocking truth behind the killings. Also featured: the disturbing disappearance of a new mom who was trying to escape her controlling boyfriend and is now presumed dead [citation:1][citation:2].

In this full episode of True Crime News, we investigate the brutal murder of Reagan Tokes, a 21-year-old pre-med student at The Ohio State University, who was sexually assaulted and killed after finishing her shift at a local restaurant. Her killer was Brian Golsby, a convicted felon and registered sex offender who was wearing a GPS ankle monitor at the time of the attack. His monitor tracked his movements directly to the crime scene, leaving authorities with no question about his guilt [citation:1].
Reagan was a bright and beloved young woman, a member of Delta Gamma sorority with a passion for the arts and medicine. She disappeared after leaving work, and her car was later found in a nearby neighborhood. Surveillance footage revealed her final moments as Golsby forced her into her own vehicle and drove her to a secluded area where the attack occurred. Her tragic death sparked outrage and raised urgent questions about how a known predator could be free to commit such a crime while wearing a state-issued tracker.
The failure of the monitoring system highlighted a critical flaw in the justice system: a monitor only tracks movement; it does not stop the crime. It’s a haunting reminder that for victims, being "on the radar" is not the same as being safe. This case became a rallying cry for families across the country demanding reform, and part of a wider pattern of ankle monitor failures that have allowed dangerous criminals to continue their violence, including cases where victims’ families discovered that violations by the perpetrator were never reported by monitoring companies [citation:3][citation:8]. Press play to hear the full story, from the investigation and trial to Reagan’s legacy and the fight for change.

In this full episode, we examine the heartbreaking case of 10-month-old Scottie Gwyn Crowell, who died after being left in a hot car for eight hours by her grandmother, Dr. Stacey Fazenbaker, a Kentucky physician [citation:1][citation:6].
On the morning of August 13, 2026, Fazenbaker picked up her granddaughter and was supposed to drop her off at daycare before heading to work at Owensboro Health Multicare in Madisonville, Kentucky [citation:4][citation:8]. Instead, she forgot the infant was in the back seat and went straight to her shift, leaving Scottie strapped in her car seat as temperatures reached 95°F outside and 115°F inside the vehicle [citation:1][citation:11].
No one realized what had happened until Scottie's father arrived at the daycare around 4 p.m. and was told she was never dropped off [citation:4][citation:6]. Fazenbaker "ran outside with some co-workers to get the child. But it was far too late by then," said Madisonville Police Major Jason McKnight [citation:4][citation:11].
Scottie was born on September 20, 2025, via in vitro fertilization after her parents struggled to conceive—"a beautiful IVF baby" who brought the family immense joy [citation:4][citation:8]. Her mother, Sydni Crowell, is an OB-GYN at a nearby clinic, and Fazenbaker had moved to Madisonville just a year earlier to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren [citation:1][citation:6].
Police are investigating the tragedy and have not filed charges, but the case will go to a grand jury once the investigation is complete [citation:4][citation:10]. Toxicological tests showed no alcohol or drugs in Fazenbaker's system [citation:1][citation:11]. This case highlights how deadly distraction can turn a routine morning into an unthinkable tragedy, and how these incidents affect even the most loving and responsible families.

In this episode of Crimes and Consequences, we examine the disappearance of 23-year-old Liel Yahalomi and her 50-year-old mother, Mali Yahalomi, who vanished during a mother-daughter trip to Vienna and Prague in August 2026. The case took a disturbing turn when Liel reportedly claimed her mother was responsible for the death of her missing father.
The two Israeli women were last seen leaving their hotel room in Vienna and later their phones were located near a train station, before their trail went completely cold. Police in Austria, the Israeli Embassy, and the local Chabad community have been unable to find them, while Israeli authorities have imposed a gag order on investigation details [citation:1].
Adding to the mystery, allegations surfaced that Mali, a senior bank employee, may have been involved in an embezzlement scheme—though police have since ruled out that connection. With no bodies or bloodstains found, authorities are now considering the possibility that the two deliberately fled and are in hiding for reasons that remain unclear [citation:1].

In this episode of Crimes and Consequences, we examine the shocking case of Lacey Fletcher, a 36-year-old Louisiana woman whose emaciated body was found fused to her parents' couch in January 2022. Weighing just 96 pounds, Lacey had been left to sit in her own waste for up to 12 years, her body covered in ulcers, maggots, and feces [citation:2][citation:4]. Her parents, Clay and Sheila Fletcher, were initially charged with second-degree murder, but later pleaded no contest to manslaughter [citation:6][citation:8]. This episode explores the horrific details of the case, the legal proceedings, and the decades of neglect that led to this tragedy.

In this episode, we examine the decades-long fight for freedom of Crosley Green, a Florida man who has spent over 35 years behind bars for a 1989 murder he insists he did not commit [citation:1]. The case, which has drawn national attention from CBS News "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty, has been marked by recanted witness testimony, suppressed evidence, and allegations of a racially biased trial [citation:3][citation:14].
Green was convicted by an all-white jury in 1990 for the murder of 22-year-old Charles "Chip" Flynn Jr. in a Titusville orange grove [citation:5][citation:8]. He spent 19 years on death row before his sentence was reduced to life in prison [citation:1]. In 2018, a federal judge overturned his conviction after finding prosecutors withheld crucial evidence—including notes showing investigators suspected Flynn's ex-girlfriend, Kim Hallock, of the crime [citation:5][citation:8]. Green was released in 2021 and enjoyed nearly two years of freedom, working and attending church [citation:2]. However, a federal appeals court reversed the ruling, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case, forcing him back to prison in 2023 [citation:7][citation:13].
Despite his own suffering, Green's character has shone through. After a devastating parole hearing in August 2026, the 67-year-old called a reporter to check on their well-being, saying: "I can't be strong and stay positive in here if I know that you all are feeling bad. I need to know you're OK" [citation:9]. Green's attorneys continue to fight for his freedom, appealing a 40-year clerical error by the parole commission, which they argue should have made him eligible for parole more than a decade ago [citation:2][citation:8]. Green remains incarcerated at Sumter Correctional Institution, holding onto faith that he will one day rejoin his family [citation:13].
