    A Marriage of Secrets: The Susan Cox Powell Case

    A Marriage of Secrets: The Susan Cox Powell Case Susan Cox Powell disappeared from her West Valley City, Utah home on December 6, 2009, launching a homicide investigation that centered on her husband, Josh Powell, before he killed himself and their two young sons in a 2012 murder-suicide. Despite a decade of searches, forensic evidence, and a $98.5 million negligence verdict against the state of Washington, Susan's body has never been found. A husband tells police he took his toddlers camping at midnight, in a blizzard, on a work night, and came home to find his wife gone. That's the story Josh Powell gave investigators, and it barely survives contact with the evidence. Behind it sits a father-in-law running an obsessive surveillance operation out of his own house, a marriage built on quiet financial control, a will Susan wrote a year before she vanished warning that her death might not look like an accident, and 807 unexplained miles on a rental car. This is the story of what investigators found, what they missed, and the stretch of Idaho highway that's never been searched. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Divorce Papers on an Empty Bed: The Dan Markel Case

    Divorce Papers on an Empty Bed: The Dan Markel Case Dan Markel, a 41-year-old Florida State University law professor, was shot twice in the head in the garage of his Tallahassee home on July 18, 2014, in a murder-for-hire plot built by his former in-laws. The FBI and Tallahassee police investigation that followed used wiretaps, SunPass toll records, and a cooperating hitman to win five convictions, including first-degree murder verdicts against former brother-in-law Charlie Adelson and family matriarch Donna Adelson. This one begins with a mop, a stepladder, and a hyperactive kid in Montreal who grew up to teach punishment theory to law students, and it ends with a 76-year-old grandmother serving life in a Florida prison. In between there's a divorce, a 50-50 custody schedule, a $1 million offer, a rented silver Prius trailing a man around town for two days, and a family so rattled by one undercover FBI agent that they started calling a murder "TV" on their own phone lines. Twelve years of trials, appeals, and one Florida law now named after the victim. Here's how a fight over 500 miles became a contract killing. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Gerald and Charlene: The Sex Slave Murders

    Gerald and Charlene: The Sex Slave Murders Between 1978 and 1980, Gerald and Charlene Gallego abducted and murdered at least 10 victims across California, Nevada, and Oregon, including Sacramento teenagers Rhonda Scheffler and Kippi Vaught, in a homicide investigation detectives came to call the Sex Slave Murders. The FBI arrested the couple in November 1980, and what followed was a controversial plea bargain, a conviction built on a co-defendant's testimony, and 2 death sentences that people still argue about today. A friendly young woman walks up to 2 girls at a Sacramento shopping plaza and offers to get them high. She is 21 years old and she looks like somebody's babysitter. That is the entire mechanism, and it worked for more than 2 years across 3 states while investigators were still working with phone books and blood typing. This one is about the people. A boy who inherited something from a father he never laid eyes on, and a girl who had every advantage and set it on fire. It ends with an ordinary young man in a parking lot doing the one thing that stopped it. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Au Pair Affair Murders: The Brendan Banfield Double Murder

    Au Pair Affair Murders: The Brendan Banfield Double Murder On February 24, 2023, pediatric ICU nurse Christine Banfield, 37, and a stranger named Joseph Ryan, 39, were killed inside a home in Herndon, Fairfax County, Virginia, in a double homicide staged to look like a home invasion. The investigation eventually turned on Christine's husband, former IRS criminal investigator Brendan Banfield, and the family's 22-year-old Brazilian au pair, whose cooperating testimony and forensic evidence of a staged crime scene produced two aggravated murder convictions and a life sentence. Christine spent her early career as a sexual assault nurse examiner, sitting with strangers on the worst nights of their lives, and she died inside a story her own husband wrote to make her look like the author of it. This one has a fake profile on a fetish website, a young woman from São Paulo who came over to watch a toddler, a detective who got moved out of his unit right after his findings pointed the wrong direction, and a federal investigator who was certain he understood how these cases get solved. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Dead Weight: The Windi Thomas and Keeno Butler Case

    Dead Weight: The Windi Thomas and Keeno Butler Case On March 18, 2018, 44-year-old Keeno Butler was killed inside his Erie, Pennsylvania apartment in a domestic violence homicide that ended with his girlfriend, 44-year-old Windi C. Thomas, pleading guilty to third-degree murder. Detectives, the Erie County Coroner, and forensic evidence documented more than 90 traumatic injuries on the victim's body, and the case closed with a plea deal and an 18-to-36-year sentence. The whole world turned this into a headline about body weight and forgot the rest. Keeno was a grandfather at 44 who loved music and dancing and working, and who was, by his sister's account, an occasional pest she would give anything to have back. His family got a vigil, a plea deal, and a mother who kept calling his name into an empty house. Buried in the file is a coincidence so small and so Erie that it ties this apartment on East Avenue to the most notorious crime in the city's history, 15 years earlier. The prosecutor stood in front of reporters and asked them to stop reducing it to one detail. Nobody listened. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    Three Words Carved in a Tree: The Kelly Cochran Case

    Three Words Carved in a Tree: The Kelly Cochran Case Kelly and Jason grew up next door to each other, married young, and made a promise on their wedding night that most people would have laughed off by breakfast. Twelve years later, in a corner of Michigan where the nearest anything is 45 minutes away, that promise turned into a plan. This one has a woman at the center who never once stopped talking, and almost never told the same story twice. There is a tree in an Indiana park with 3 words carved into it, and those 3 words are the reason anyone knows what happened to Chris Regan at all. In October 2014, 53-year-old Air Force veteran Christopher Regan disappeared from Iron River, Michigan, and the homicide investigation led detectives straight to his coworker and lover, Kelly Cochran, and her husband Jason. With no body, degraded forensic evidence, and a police chief running a department of 4 officers, the cold case sat for 18 months until an FBI tip, an autopsy in Indiana, and one detective's very unusual tactic broke it open into a first-degree murder conviction and a life sentence without parole. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    A 13-Year-Old Killer: The Murder of Derrick Robie

    A 13-Year-Old Killer: The Murder of Derrick Robie On August 2, 1993, 4-year-old Derrick Robie was lured into a wooded area one block from his home in Savona, New York, and murdered. The suspect was 13-year-old Eric Smith, a neighbor, and the homicide investigation that followed made Smith the youngest defendant ever tried as an adult for murder in New York State, leading to a second-degree murder conviction, a sentence of 9 years to life, and 11 parole board hearings across 27 years.Savona had fewer than 1,000 people in it, and Derrick knew most of them by name. He sat on a corner greeting neighbors and the town called him the unofficial mayor. When he disappeared on a walk he had made a hundred times with his mother, everyone assumed an outsider had come through. The truth was already inside the village, riding a bike, and it had been leaving warning signs for 4 years that nobody knew how to read. This is a story about two boys, one town, and a question a family friend could not stop thinking about. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    A Videotape and a First Grade Mind: The Shelton Holloway Story

    A Videotape and a First Grade Mind: The Shelton Holloway Story In April of 1987, 17 year old Patricia Ann Hannah disappeared after a school dance in York, Alabama, and two weeks later her body was found behind an Alabama Power office. A fellow Sumter County High School student named Shelton Jerome Holloway, a special education student with a documented intellectual disability, was arrested and eventually convicted based largely on a videotaped confession. The legal question at the center of the case wasn't whether he said the words on that tape. It was whether a young man functioning at a first grade level could actually understand what he was giving up when he waived his rights. This one pulls you into a small Alabama town, a missing girl, and a confession that split experts, courts, and advocates for decades. The crime and the trial end up asking two completely different questions, and neither one has an easy answer. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.
