    Kenny Pullman and Kelly Copala Murders: St. James Long Island Case Explained | True Crime

    At 11:45 p.m. on August 28th, 2024, a call comes in to Suffolk County emergency dispatch. It’s from teenage girls, frantic about a friend. She has just texted them from a moving car, terrified. Her father ordered her to come outside and get in, and now her mother isn’t answering the phone. Nine minutes later, the friend calls in herself. Her 50-year-old father, Daniel Copala, is walking through his house with a gun in his hand. While officers rush to restrain him, a second team reaches a quiet, upscale street in St. James, Long Island. The mansion’s front door has been shot open. Inside are two people, dead on the floor. There’s no robbery and nothing disturbed, only a targeted attack. The victims were Kenneth “Kenny” Pullman, 53, a widower who raised his children alone, and Kelly Copala, 50, Daniel’s ex-husband’s former wife and the mother of the girl in that car. Their new life together looked happy, and they posted it online. Investigators say Daniel, who blamed Kelly for his financial troubles, had been watching. Detectives found a typed document, ammunition labeled with names, and body-camera footage of his confession. Yet in court he pleaded not guilty. In this episode, we trace the divorce, the warning signs, and the night itself, and ask why a man whose gun permit had been revoked was able to keep firearms at home.

    Kelly Wilkinson Murder: How Police Missed Every Warning | Brian Johnston True Crime

    Kelly Wilkinson spent the last 23 days of her life trying to save herself. She told her sisters. She went to the police. She got a protection order and agreed a secret code phrase with her family. On April 20th, 2021, in the backyard of her Gold Coast home, none of it was enough. Brian Johnston, a former U.S. Marine, had spent years allegedly controlling Kelly: what she wore, whether she could work, whether she could drive. When she told him she was done protecting him, he was charged with four counts of rape, which he disputes. The night before the murder, he gathered duct tape, zip ties, a hatchet-style weapon, a face covering and a sedative. Kelly was stabbed and set on fire while her children were at the property, and neighbors grabbed a garden hose trying to save her. She was 27. Johnston pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. But the story doesn’t end there. A coronial inquest has heard that a high-risk assessment never reached the right police screen, that bail was granted when it shouldn’t have been, and that Kelly was labeled “cop shopping” when she begged for help. In this episode, we trace Kelly’s life from the Gold Coast to Ohio and back, the warnings that were missed, and the trials that followed. If you or someone you know is in danger, please contact a domestic violence support service. In Australia, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

    Autumn Klene Murder: The Neurologist Poisoned With Cyanide by Her Husband Robert Ferrante | True Crime

    On the surface, Dr. Robert Ferrante and Dr. Autumn Klene had it all: two respected neuroscientists, a young daughter, and thriving careers at the University of Pittsburgh. Behind closed doors, the marriage was coming apart. In April 2013, Klene walked home from the hospital, and 34 minutes later her husband called 911. She had collapsed on the kitchen floor, unable to speak or move. Three days later she was dead, and the toxicology report pointed to cyanide. Investigators uncovered a marriage strained by failed IVF cycles, money worries, and control.  They also found an overnight order of potassium cyanide on a university credit card, a chilling text about a “creatine” drink, and a trail of internet searches. At trial, the defense challenged the lab science and asked how Klein’s organs could have been transplanted successfully. In 2014, a jury still convicted Ferrante of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. In this episode, we trace the story from Klein’s childhood in Baltimore to her final night, and look at the evidence that convicted him and the scientific questions that still divide experts.

    Venus Stewart Murder Case: Doug Stewart’s Fake Alibi in Michigan Explained | True Crime

    On the morning of April 26, 2010, 32-year-old Venus Stewart stepped outside her parents’ home in Colon Township, Michigan, and was never seen again. She left behind her purse, keys, phone and driver’s license, and two young daughters who were still inside playing. She had recently moved home from Virginia after leaving a marriage she feared, and had obtained temporary custody and made a will. Near a boat in the yard, her father spotted a piece of plastic packaging he had never seen before. Her estranged husband, Doug, had a perfect alibi. His phone, car and credit card all placed him hundreds of miles away in Virginia. But investigators found that someone else had been using his login, and a man seen on camera in Doug’s clothes walked on his toes. That man was Ricky Spencer, a young online gaming friend Doug had recruited and convinced that the children were in danger. A Walmart receipt, a traffic stop video and a fingerprint on the tarp wrapper tied Doug to the plan, and Spencer later testified against him. In 2011, a jury convicted Doug Stewart of first-degree premeditated murder, even though Venus’s body had never been found. He was sentenced to life without parole. In 2018, after her father’s death, he admitted the killing and led investigators to her remains, ending her family’s eight-year search. This episode follows Venus’s life, the borrowed identity that nearly worked, the trial without a body, and the confession. Content note: This episode discusses the murder of a woman by her estranged husband, and allegations of domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised.

    Catherine Walker Murder Case: Michael Walker Honolulu Hawaii Explained | True Crime Documentary

    On the morning of November 15, 2014, an Army physician called emergency services from a secured military base in Honolulu, Hawaii. He said he had come home from an overnight hospital shift and found his wife, Catherine, dead, and he believed she had taken her own life. But officers found a locked house with no sign of forced entry, a great deal of blood that had already dried, and injuries that ruled out suicide. The husband was clean, and he had a hospital alibi for every minute of the night. Catherine, a church volunteer who had suffered six pregnancy losses, had become so afraid of break-ins that she checked every window and lock twice each night. Investigators concluded that whoever entered had a key. Digital forensics uncovered her husband’s secret life, including months of hidden online meetings and more than a thousand messages with a 23-year-old neighbor. Phone records showed those messages stopped on the day of the attack. That woman later told detectives that her partner had handed her a duplicate key and used a coded text, “bad,” to give the go-ahead from his hospital desk. Prosecutors pointed to a $400,000 life insurance policy and a reputation he wanted to protect. He pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal solicitation and was sentenced to 35 years. She received 30 years. Separate findings about illegal material involving minors led to additional federal convictions. This episode follows the locked-room puzzle, the evidence that unraveled the alibi, and the legal fight that followed. Content note: This episode discusses a murder and also touches on later findings involving the sexual abuse of a minor. Listener discretion is advised.  If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, please contact a local support organization.

    Emma Walker Murder Case: Riley Gaul Knoxville Tennessee Explained | True Crime

    On the morning of November 21, 2016, Jill Walker knocked on her sixteen-year-old daughter’s bedroom door in a quiet Knoxville, Tennessee suburb. There was no answer. Emma, a cheerleader who planned to become a neonatal nurse, was lying in bed, and she wasn’t breathing. Deputies found a gunshot wound behind her ear, but no gun and no sign that anyone had come inside. The windows were closed and the locks were undamaged. Then detectives found two small bullet holes in the outside wall, where someone had stood on the lawn and fired through the siding. Whoever fired knew exactly where the bed and her head would be. Investigators looked at Emma’s former boyfriend, Riley Gaul, who had spent two years watching her at work, going through her phone and telling her who she could see. After she ended things, he staged a fake abduction and sent a masked “intruder” to her door. When his alibi unraveled, two friends helped police set up an undercover recording. It caught him asking them to lie and dispose of the gun, and he was arrested carrying it. In 2018, a jury convicted Riley Gaul of first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated stalking and tampering with evidence. He was sentenced to life, with at least 51 years before he could become eligible for release. Emma’s family and community raised money in her memory to create a neonatal intensive care room at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. This episode follows the mystery of the shots through the wall, the pattern of control behind them, and the memorial built in Emma’s name. Content note: This episode discusses the killing of a teenager and stalking by a former partner. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is being controlled or stalked by a partner or former partner, please contact a local domestic violence hotline.  If this case stayed with you, subscribe and tell us in the comments what you think.

    Toni Henthorn Murder Case: Harold Henthorn Rocky Mountain National Park Explained | True Crime

    Toni Henthorn was an accomplished Colorado eye surgeon from a wealthy Mississippi family. In 1999, she married Harold Henthorn, a man she’d met on a Christian dating site, who presented himself as a devout, successful fundraiser. Her family saw a different picture. Harold answered her phone calls, listened to them on speaker, and kept her and their daughter on a tight leash. The “millionaire” had no registered business and hadn’t held a real job in twenty years, living instead on Toni’s money. On September 29, 2012, their twelfth wedding anniversary, Harold called 911 from Rocky Mountain National Park. He said Toni had fallen from a cliff and he was desperately performing CPR. But the dispatcher heard flat silence, with none of the heavy breathing of someone doing chest compressions. When rescuers arrived hours later, Toni’s makeup and lipstick were undisturbed. Investigators uncovered $4.7 million in life insurance policies, a map with a cross on the cliff, and repeated scouting trips to the park in the weeks before. They also revisited the 1995 death of Harold’s first wife under a car, which was ruled an accident, though he was never charged. A distinct boot print was found on Toni’s back. A jury convicted Harold Henthorn of first-degree murder in 2015, and he was sentenced to life without parole. This episode follows Toni’s life, the isolation her family saw, the investigation, and the trial. Content note: This episode discusses a controlling marriage and the death of a woman. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is in a controlling relationship, please contact a local domestic violence hotline.

    Pendleton South Carolina Family Murders: Amy Valardi and the Halloween 2015 Case | True Crime

    On Monday, November 2, 2015, a young woman walked into her parents’ mobile home in Pendleton, South Carolina, and found four family members dead: her mother and father, both in their sixties, and both of their elderly mothers, in their eighties. They had been killed on Halloween night. There were no signs of forced entry, and a heavy safe full of cash was missing. Yet other valuables had been left untouched, and toys had been neatly set out for grandchildren who weren’t even there. Fireworks had been going off outside, and not one neighbor reported hearing gunshots. Detectives looked closely at the victims’ daughter, Amy, and her new husband, Ross, a former Marine. Their business was failing, their bank account was nearly empty, and a landlord was waiting on an $8,000 check they’d asked him not to cash until November 2. Their alibi unraveled. A text sent that night suggested Amy knew exactly who was awake in her parents’ home. Police later found nearly $87,000 in cash in the couple’s safe, stacked and sorted the same unusual way her father had sorted his savings, and the serial numbers matched a photo he’d posted online. It took eight years, a bloodstained shoe print and a new sheriff to bring the case to court. In February 2026, Amy was convicted and sentenced to four life terms without parole. Ross was charged alongside her. This episode follows the family, the money behind the case, and the evidence that finally broke through. Content note: This episode discusses the murder of four family members, including two elderly women. Listener discretion is advised.
