    Maya and Larry Millete

    When 39-year-old mother of three Maya Millete walked up to her Chula Vista home carrying grocery bags on the afternoon of January 7, 2021, security cameras captured what looked like a routine Thursday. But by the next morning, the vibrant Navy contract specialist had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a new Jeep Wrangler, plans for a family road trip, and an appointment with a divorce attorney scheduled for that very week. What followed was a years-long investigation that peeled back the layers of a marriage built on escalating, obsessive control. Featuring hidden car trackers, a search history involving poison hemlock, and hundreds of frantic emails sent to online spellcasters, the case ultimately centered on one terrifying question: did a devoted mom walk away to start over, or did her husband execute a calculated plan to ensure she would never leave?

    Monique Baugh

    In December 2019, 28-year-old Minneapolis-area realtor Monique Baugh arrived at what she believed would be a routine home showing in the upscale suburb of Maple Grove, Minnesota. Instead, she walked into a carefully planned trap. Monique was kidnapped while her boyfriend, Jon Mitchell-Momoh, was ambushed in a separate attack. What initially appeared to be an inexplicable crime soon unraveled into a shocking murder-for-hire plot fueled by revenge, jealousy, and a web of unlikely conspirators.

    Linda Opdycke and Mark Stover

    When renowned dog trainer Mark Stover vanished from his Washington home in October 2009, investigators were confronted with a baffling mystery. His loyal protection dog had been shot three times in the head. Bloodstains inside the house appeared to have been cleaned with bleach. Mark's car was abandoned miles away. But there was one glaring problem—there was no body. As detectives unraveled the case, suspicion fell on Michiel Oakes, the new boyfriend of Mark's ex-wife, Linda Opdycke. What followed was a twisting investigation involving stalking allegations, anonymous tips, missing evidence, and a claim of self-defense that would divide opinions for years to come.

    Jocelyn and Wesley Earnest

    When Jocelyn Earnest was found dead on the floor of her Forest, Virginia home on December 20th, 2007, investigators saw what appeared to be a suicide — a typed note, a gun, a woman in the middle of a painful divorce. But the people who knew Jocelyn best refused to accept that explanation. She had just been offered a promotion at work. She was looking forward to the holidays. She was almost through the divorce. She was making plans. What followed was a years-long legal battle featuring a staged crime scene, forged documents, a critical error in the jury room, and a moment on the witness stand that stopped the courtroom cold — all centered on a single question: did Jocelyn Earnest take her own life, or did someone who knew her well go to great lengths to make it look that way?

    Hannah Clarke and Rowan Baxter

    In February 2020, 31-year-old Hannah Clarke was driving her three young children to school in Brisbane, Australia, when her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter jumped into the car and doused them with petrol. Behind closed doors, Hannah had endured years of coercive control, intimidation, isolation, and abuse. She had done what so many victims are told to do: she left, sought help from police, obtained a protection order, and documented her fears. It wasn't enough. In this episode, we examine the warning signs leading up to the murders, the systemic failures that left Hannah and her children unprotected, and the reforms that followed. It's a heartbreaking case that forever changed the conversation about domestic violence in Australia.

    Lina and Adam Kaufman

    When 33-year-old Eleonora “Lina” Kaufman was found unresponsive with marks across her neck on her bathroom floor in Aventura, Florida, her sudden death shocked her community. Her husband, Adam Kaufman, claimed it was a tragic medical emergency. But as investigators secured the home, the physical evidence—from an engine block inexplicably radiating heat in the garage to unwrinkled pillows on the bed—just didn’t add up. Eighteen months later, the medical examiner ruled Lina's death a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation, leading to Adam's arrest. What followed was a sensational legal battle pitting top forensic experts against one another over compromised DNA evidence, cryptic jailhouse phone calls, and a jury forced to choose between a cold-blooded murder and a tragic medical anomaly.

    Sandy and Tom Bird/Lorna and Marty Anderson - Part 1

    When 33-year-old Sandra Bird, a devoted mother and the wife of popular Faith Lutheran Church pastor Tom Bird, was found dead in the Cottonwood River near Emporia, Kansas, the town mourned what appears to be a tragic car accident. But Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper John Rule felt like something was off. From a complete lack of skid marks to mysterious bloodstains found where they shouldn’t have been, the physical evidence just didn’t add up. Months later, the community was rocked again when Martin Anderson, the husband of the church's secretary, Lorna Anderson, was gunned down on a dark highway in an apparent robbery gone wrong. What followed was one of the most tangled criminal cases in Kansas history: competing trials, a jailhouse reversal, a made-for-TV movie, and a legal fight that stretched across nearly a decade.
