On Monday, August 2nd, 1993, in the quaint village of Savona, New York, four-year-old Derrick Robie was found dead in a small patch of woods just half a block away from his home. An entire week would pass before his parents, Doreen and Dale Robie, and the rest of the village would get any answers.

Derrick was only four years old. He had been lured away from the path he was walking and brutally beaten, choked and killed.

Everyone in the community struggled to understand how anyone could impose such violence on an innocent child.

The true identity of the killer would shock the community.

When 17-year-old Je'Rean Blake was shot dead outside a store in May 2010, the police found themselves with a suspect, Chauncey Owens.

In a raid to arrest their suspected killer, the police stormed a house at Lillibridge, and a gunshot was heard; They would then discover that an innocent young girl had been shot.

Her killer would try to justify his actions, claiming it was a mistake triggered by Aiyana’s grandmother's actions.

The shooter insisted he had lost control of his gun for a few seconds.

What had really happened to Aiyana Jones? Who had shot and killed her? Was she the intended target? Was this shooting racially charged?

This is the story of how an innocent 7-year-old child's life was taken away from her by those who were supposed to protect her.

When Devi Unmathallegadoo split from her husband, Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo, it was not long before she found love again.

After marrying her new husband, Imtiaz Muhammed, Devi would become Sana Muhammed and would have high hopes of moving on, ready to start a new life filled with love and happiness...

Her ex-husband, Ramanodge, however, would be filled with anger and jealousy, and he would do anything in his power to stop this from happening, quickly becoming a dangerous stalker in her life.

How far would Ramanodge take it? Would he try and harm Sana and her new husband? Would he try and attack her whilst she was pregnant?

Sadly, Ramanodge would do anything in his power in the hopes of destroying Sana’s dreams of forever with her newfound love. He would resort to a harrowing crime of passion plagued by hatred, jealousy, and deadly obsession.

On Christmas morning in 2002, a policeman entered the Wholaver household to find all three Wholaver women dead. Jean Wholaver and her two daughters, Victoria and Elizabeth.

All the phone lines had been cut, and the only survivor found inside was 9-months-old baby Madison, who was left in the arms of her deceased mother, Victoria Wholaver.

Law enforcement immediately knew that the murders had been premeditated and extremely personal.

Who would commit such a heinous crime and pull apart and break a whole family on Christmas day?

This is the tragic tale of the Wholaver family Christmas massacre.

Just five days after Christmas in 2017, at 10:19pm, Suffolk police received what they later described as one of the most bizarre 999 calls they had ever received.

Stephen Searle calmly explained to police that he had killed his wife in their suburban house in the sleepy Suffolk town of Stowmarket.

When paramedics arrived, 62 year old Anne Searle was found unresponsive and despite their best efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Anne had been strangled by her husband of 45 years, before suffering from a fatal cardiac arrest.

When police arrived, he joked that he had ‘been a very naughty boy’, and ‘sometimes you’ve just had enough’.  Stephen claimed it to be self-defence, and that Anne had come at him with a steak knife.

But how could someone who had accidentally killed their wife of 45 years, and the mother of their children, joke so casually after her traffic death?

It was a cold and gloomy Sunday afternoon in Beckton, East London, on the 2nd of October, 1994.  Daniel Handley, a helpful nine-year-old, had returned home after earning a few coins at the local supermarket, where he often helped out customers to load their cars with their shopping.

As he always did in his free time, he had then asked his mother, Maxine, if he was allowed to go to play at Alan's house, his best friend.  Unknown to the dangers lurking around, Maxine had agreed to his request with strict instructions to be back at 6 o'clock.

However, by the time 6 o'clock had rolled around, Daniel still needed to come home. Four hours more passed and there was still no sign of him.

Maxine Handley, immediately knew something was wrong and started looking for him. She went door to door, searching, going to all the neighbours with whom she knew to be Daniel's playmates, yet, there was no sign of her son anywhere.

Soon hours turned into days, and then weeks, and there was still no Daniel. Witnesses would come forward saying they had seen him riding his silver saddle-less bike that night, but all the conflicting information and signs of Daniel did not help find him.

Where was Daniel Handley? Had he run away? Had he been hurt by his mother’s boyfriend?? Or worse, has he been abducted? Law enforcement would look into every possible scenario, each leading to a dead end.

On April 2nd 1993, Ellie Nesler took the law into her own hands in a Northern California courtroom, by shooting to death Daniel Driver in the head and neck 5 times.

35-year-old Daniel Driver was a Christian camp employee who in the summer of 1988 allegedly abused the then 6-year-old son of Ellie Nesler, Willie Nesler.

Ellie Nesler was praised by some as a protective mother, driven to act by the prospect of having her traumatised son testify against Driver in open court.

Others criticised her for brushing aside the legal system and taking the law into her own hands, which would then spark a national debate about Vigilantism.

The sympathetic portrait of Ellie Nesler painted by her defence team began to disappear however within weeks of the crime when tests found Ellie to have been high on methamphetamine at the time of the shooting. It had also come to light that Ellie had a criminal record with a conviction at 18 for auto theft and had served several months in a California Youth Authority facility.

Had Ellie Nesler gone too far, or was she simply protecting her son and the world from a very dangerous man?

On the evening of the 11th September 1994, a gang of at least three men, one wearing a clown’s mask and a boiler suit, brandishing a knife, broke into Carol and Gordon Wardell's home in Bonneville Close, Meriden. Only Carol was home during the break-in.

When her husband Gordon returned home from the pub later that night, he was attacked and drugged. He was overpowered and knocked unconscious with a chemical, and when he came around he found himself bound and gagged on the floor, alone, his wife Carol missing.

Only a few hours later Carol Wardell was found dead in a lay-by and the building society where she worked, had been robbed.  A devastated Gordon Wardell would then go on to make a public plea to try and help catch the men who had brutally murdered his wife. 

Choking back the tears he said “I still don’t believe this has happened. We must catch these men. I think they are evil”….

When 22 year old Janet Chandler was abducted whilst working her Night Shift at the Blue Mill Inn, detectives first believed it to be part of a robbery.

However, when her naked body was found at 1am (2am?) in a wooded area buried in the snow, it would become clear to investigators that foal play was involved. Janet had died of strangulation, with clear evidence she had been bound and gagged for long periods before her death.

Law enforcement would interview hundreds of people over years, chasing dead ends and finding no significant leads.

The case would go cold for nearly 25 years. What happened to Janet Chandler in 1979? And how did what started out as just a documentary project for a film school class, lead to the world finally getting some answers.

Terry King loved being a dad and always wanted to be a good father to his two sons, Derek and Alex, but the family was destroyed when Terry died in a mysterious fire and the boys went missing.

Who bludgeoned Terry King to death and then set the house on fire to cover it up?

And were his two missing sons safe?

Were they in danger, or even worse also dead?

As the case would unfold, a twisted world of lies and deceit would be revealed.

This is the chilling case of the King Family.
