In 1995 Brooklyn, a lesbian couple were attacked in their own home in a very nice neighborhood. One was raped, one was murdered. The assailant fled. Police with their biases believed the surviving lesbian of the couple was lying and she was the reason her partner was dead.

True Crime Quickie from Atlanta, Georgia. An off duty police officer takes a ride with a Lyft driver, and the end result is deadly.

18 year old Jacob Williamson of South Carolina had a troubled existence. He knew he ddin't feel comfortable in the female body he was assigned to at birth. Jacob always felt like a boy not a girl. Towards the end of his teen years, he began transitioning into the male he always knew he was. His birth family, not really ever understanding gender dysphoria somewhat shunned Jacob. So Jacob went to live with a family friend. Finally, Jacob was in an environment where he felt safe and loved. He got himself a job and started a romantic relationship online with a 25 year old man just across the border in North Carolina. True Crime Quickie is from Texas, the murder of Inez Santa Cruz.

Last episode we looked at young men who were classified as drowning victims in Pennsylvania, this episode we explore other victims also found deceased in waterways in several different states. Is this the work of a domestic terrorist cell or were these 680 plus young men all with attributes that are very similiar to each other just careless drunks who accidentally fell in to bodies of water and drowned due to their inxtoxication?

Since 1997 over 300 young, educated, athletic men who've been out with friends at bars have disappeared only to be found days, weeks and even months later deceased in bodies of water. Three retired NYC detectives believe these are NOT accidental drownings as the law enforcement in each of these cases determined but rather many of these are homicides. Homicides implemented by a cell of killers located in different cities across the U.S. Sexual Identity is not relative to these cases, although some of the victims were gay. What is relative are that their stories are told. Welcome to a new season...Season 15! This is part one of the Smiley Face Killers...
