During the early morning hours of October 18th, 2015, in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Corey Jones’ SUV broke down, so he pulled over on an offramp. Multiple people came to Corey’s aid, but the process for getting a tow ended up taking hours. While Corey waited, another man was also on the street that morning. When Officer Nouman Raja noticed Corey’s stalled Hyundai Santa Fe, he headed in the direction to investigate further. What happened next involved two strangers, rapidly escalating tensions, and six shots fired over an agonizing 13 seconds.

17-year-old Valerie Leona Tindall was a hardworking teen who lived with her siblings and parents Jack and Shena in the rural community of Arlington, Indiana. While attending Rushville Consolidated High, Valerie worked various jobs after school and on the weekends.

During a routine sweep of a Las Vegas parking lot, police found a woman’s body wrapped in a blanket in the backseat of a car in September of 1986. A speedy investigation led them to the killer, who was sentenced after what felt like a routine trial. But 31 years later, the culprit faced the courts again thanks to a decades-old procedural error. His rehearing became part of a larger debate about capital punishment – a conversation that’s still raging within the criminal justice system today.

On the morning of September 19th, 2013, a house in East Orlando, Florida, burned. Sadly, the lone resident, octogenarian Elena Ortega died as a result of the fire. But her death was no accident.
