    The Ted Bundy Murder That Took 50 Years to Prove

    A 17-year-old girl disappears on Halloween. And for more than half a century - no definitive answers. In 1974, Laura Ann Aime vanished after leaving a party in Utah. Weeks later, her body was found in the mountains. Investigators long suspected Ted Bundy - and before his execution in 1989, he even confessed to her murder. But it wasn’t enough to close the case. Now, decades later, a major breakthrough in DNA technology has finally confirmed Bundy as her killer - officially bringing an end to one of the many cold cases tied to his name. In this episode of The Trial: USA, host Kayla Brantley is joined by Daily Mail Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp to unpack the latest breakthrough and explain the new DNA technology that made it possible.  Email us: thetrial@dailymail.com WhatsApp us: +44 7796 657512 Start your message with TrialPresenter: Kayla BrantleyProducer: Lucy RobsonEditor: Chelsey RanoreCreative Director: Caroline CheethamExecutive Producer: Jamie EastFollow us on TikTok: @DailyMailCrime Email us: thetrial@dailymail.com WhatsApp us: +44 7796 657512 Start your message with Trial Presenter: Kayla Brantley Producer: Lucy Robson Creative Director: Caroline Cheetham Executive Producer: Jamie East Click here to sign up to The Crime Desk's weekly newsletter.

    1 ABR

    Is Rex Heuermann going to plead guilty to the Gilgo Beach Murders?

    For more than a decade, the murders at Gilgo Beach haunted Long Island - a string of victims, discovered along a remote stretch of coastline, with no arrests and few answers. Until 2023. Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect, was charged with the murders of seven women - accused of carrying out one of the most chilling killing sprees in recent US history. He pleaded not guilty.  But now, in a shock development, he’s expected to plead guilty - a move that could bring a sudden end to a case that has gripped investigators and victims’ families for years. In this episode, Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp steps in for Kayla Brantley and is joined by Daily Mail reporter Ruth Bashinsky - two journalists who have been covering this case from the very beginning. Together, they take you through the full story, from the first disappearance, to the discovery of the bodies, the years the case went cold, and the breakthrough that led police to Heuermann. And they break down what this latest twist could mean - for the case, for the families, and for the truth. The Trial: USA is part of the Crime Desk.

    Suburban Mom Accused in 15-Year Cold Case Killing of Realtor

    For nearly 15 years, the murder of Iowa realtor Ashley Okland remained unsolved. Shot twice in broad daylight inside a model home she was showing, the 27-year-old’s killing shocked her community - but left investigators with no clear suspects or motive. Now, over a decade later - there’s been a dramatic breakthrough. Kristin Ramsey, a 53-year-old mother, has been charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say the killing was premeditated. She denies the charges. So what changed? On this week’s episode, host Kayla is joined by Daily Mail Senior News Reporter Natasha Anderson to unpack what happened, why the case went cold, and the new developments that led to this long-awaited arrest. After more than a decade without answers - could this finally be justice for Ashley Okland? The Trial: USA is part of the Crime Desk.

    Farrah Fawcett’s Son in Court Over Bloody LA Crime Spree

    In this episode of The Trial: USA, we take you inside the case of Redmond O’Neal, son of Hollywood icon Farrah Fawcett, whose long history of addiction, mental illness, and arrests has culminated in a shocking series of alleged violent attacks across Los Angeles. Prosecutors say O’Neal carried out a week-long crime spree in 2018 - including the brutal beating of one man with a glass bottle and the stabbing of another, leaving him with traumatic, life-altering injuries. But for years, this case was paused - after a judge ruled O’Neal was not mentally competent to stand trial. Now, nearly a decade later, he has been deemed fit to face justice and new, disturbing details are emerging in court. Daily Mail’s West Coast correspondent Marjorie Hernandez was in the courtroom for O’Neal’s preliminary hearing - and joins us to break down what happened, what the witnesses revealed, and what comes next.

    Inside the Degrading ‘Playbook’ of Abuse That Sealed the Alexander Brothers’ Fate

    A Manhattan jury has found luxury real estate brothers Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander guilty on all counts in a sweeping sex-trafficking case prosecutors say spanned more than a decade.

In this episode of The Trial: USA, Daily Mail senior reporter Luke Kenton, who was inside the courtroom for the verdict, joins Kayla Brantley to takes us through the dramatic moment the brothers were convicted, the evidence that may have sealed their fate, and the emotional scenes that unfolded both inside the courtroom and outside the courthouse. Plus, the latest on the woman accused of opening fire outside Rihanna’s Los Angeles home, and new developments in the Kouri Richins trial. The Trial: USA is part of the Crime Desk.

    The ‘Moscow Mule Murder’: Inside the Trial of Kouri Richins

    On this week's episode of The Trial USA, we bring you up to date on the trial of former real estate agent Kouri Richins. She’s accused of murdering her millionaire husband, Eric Richins, with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule, before publishing an illustrated children's book about coping with grief. In March 2022, 39-year-old Eric Richins was found dead in the bedroom of the home he shared with his wife and their three children. At first, his death appeared sudden but unexplained. Then the autopsy results came back. Eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Richins has pleaded not guilty, and her defense team says there is no evidence she poisoned Eric, suggesting he may have obtained drugs himself during a trip to Mexico shortly before his death. As the trial unfolds, jurors are hearing dramatic testimony about the couple’s finances, their troubled marriage, and the people now at the center of the case. Daily Mail crime correspondent Rachel Sharp joins us from inside the courtroom in Park City to walk us through what jurors have heard so far - from the key witnesses and explosive testimony to the moments that could shape the jury’s verdict.

    Kurt Cobain: Suicide or Homicide? The New Forensic Claims

    In 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead in a room above the garage of his Seattle home. Authorities ruled that he had died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. The case was closed as a suicide. But for more than 30 years, questions have lingered. Now, a new independent team of forensic researchers has re-examined Cobain’s autopsy and crime scene evidence. They claim to have identified five key details - from blood pattern analysis to toxicology findings - that they argue are inconsistent with the official ruling. Seattle Police continue to maintain that Cobain died by suicide. In this special episode of The Trial: USA, we speak with retired Seattle Police Captain Neil Low, who was serving on the force at the time of Cobain’s death and has since reviewed the new forensic report. He explains why the case is back in the headlines, what the independent team says they’ve uncovered, and why some now believe this was not a suicide, but a homicide. We revisit the original investigation, examine the new claims, and ask: after all these years, is this case truly closed? The Trial: USA is part of the Crime Desk.

    Inside the trial so vile people have been crying inside the courtroom

    This week on The Trial: USA, we take you inside a Manhattan courtroom where the sex trafficking trial of Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander has entered its third week - and testimony has left people in tears. Once high-flying real estate brokers to the rich and famous, the brothers now face federal charges alleging they used wealth and status to lure women - including minors - before drugging and assaulting them. They have pleaded not guilty. Senior Reporter Luke Kenton, who has been inside the courtroom throughout - joins us to describe the atmosphere, the reactions from the brothers and their families, and the explosive text messages prosecutors say reveal a pattern of “hunting,” drugs and manipulation. We break down the key witnesses so far, the emotional turning points, and what to expect when the trial resumes after a brief hiatus. Plus: A landmark case is currently unfolding in Georgia, as a father goes on trial in connection with the Apalachee High School shooting - carried out by his 14-year-old son. Jury selection concludes in Utah ahead of the trial of Kouri Richins, accused of poisoning her husband with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule, before publishing a children’s book about grief.
