    Life Sentence at 14: The Carly Gregg Case

    Life Sentence at 14: The Carly Gregg Case Ashley Smylie was a 40-year-old high school math teacher in Brandon, Mississippi who was shot and killed inside her own home on March 19, 2024, and the suspect deputies arrested nearby was her 14-year-old daughter, Carly Madison Gregg. Home surveillance footage drove the homicide investigation, an insanity defense, a nationally livestreamed trial, a first-degree murder conviction, and an appeal the Mississippi Supreme Court finally ruled on in August of 2026. This one is about the people inside that house. A mother who buried one daughter and rebuilt an entire life around the other. A stepfather who still mouths I love you to the girl who shot him. A straight-A kid with a 30 on her ACT at 13 and burner phones hidden in her bedroom, and one week of medication changes her defense team built an entire insanity case around. There is a security camera hidden in a refrigerator that almost nobody talks about. There is a text message sent from a phone that should never have been in that hand. And there is a why that the courts have now formally closed and this family is still arguing about in public, out loud, on opposite sides. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    The Last Call: Inside the Killing of Jordan Wheeler

    The Last Call: Inside the Killing of Jordan Wheeler In Clinton Township, Michigan, 33-year-old Jordan Wheeler was killed on October 19, 2023, inside her own home, and the criminal investigation that followed led to a 2025 conviction for her estranged husband, Steven Wheeler, on charges of first-degree premeditated murder. The trial built its case on 911 audio, forensic evidence, and testimony from the couple's young son, turning what started as a routine domestic call into one of Michigan's most talked about homicide convictions. Jordan did everything you're told to do when a marriage turns dangerous. She left. She filed for divorce. She started over with her sister. Then a scared phone call from her own son pulled her back through that front door one more time, and what happened next got caught on a 911 line that never got the chance to hang up. This is the story of a mother's last decision, a 9-year-old boy who had to describe it on a witness stand, and a piece of gun law that came just months too late. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story.

    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.
