    Episode 336 - Wet Paint, Cold Body – The Case of Annamarie Cochrane-Rintala

    In Granby, Massachusetts, 37 year old paramedic Annamarie Cochrane-Rintala was found dead at the bottom of her basement stairs. The scene around her was strange, with an apparent break-in and wet paint covering much of the basement. But as investigators tried to determine what had happened inside the home, one question would become increasingly difficult to answer. When exactly did Annamarie die?

    In Estero, Florida, Dr. Teresa Sievers returned home alone after a weekend away with her family.

    Episode 334 - Sneaking Out - The Murders of Lyric Woods and Devin Clark

    In Orange County, North Carolina, 14 year old Lyric Woods disappeared after slipping out of her home in the middle of the night. In a neighboring county, 18 year old Devin Clark vanished that same weekend. At first, there seemed to be no connection between them. But a discovery along a secluded country road would reveal that their paths had crossed and leave investigators trying to understand what happened in the darkness that night.
