    Karen Read: The Murder Trial That Divided America

    A Boston police officer found dying in the snow. A girlfriend accused of murder. And a criminal investigation that divided America. On 29 January 2022, John O'Keefe was discovered unresponsive outside a fellow police officer's home in Canton, Massachusetts. His girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of striking him with her SUV and leaving him to die in freezing conditions. But as the investigation unfolded, disturbing questions emerged. A shattered taillight. Disputed forensic evidence. Controversial messages from a lead investigator. And allegations of a police cover-up. Was John O'Keefe the victim of a tragic collision, or had investigators got the story terribly wrong? In this episode of True Crime Now, Erica Voss examines the evidence, the competing theories, two extraordinary trials and the verdict that stunned America. In June 2025, Karen Read was acquitted of the charges connected to John's death, but convicted of operating under the influence. With civil litigation continuing and questions surrounding John's final hours still disputed, the case remains one of America's most controversial true-crime stories. One death. Two trials. A divided nation. And questions that refuse to disappear.

    Bryan Kohberger: The Idaho College Murders

    Four university students. One house. A brutal crime that shocked America. On 13 November 2022, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered inside an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. What followed was a nationwide manhunt, a trail of forensic evidence and the arrest of criminology student Bryan Kohberger. A mysterious white Hyundai Elantra. DNA recovered from a knife sheath. Phone records. And a surviving roommate's chilling account of a masked stranger inside the house. In July 2025, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all four murders and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. But why did he target these students? And why is he now challenging his guilty plea? In this special episode of True Crime Now, Erica Voss investigates the night of the murders, the evidence that led police to Kohberger, the courtroom developments and Netflix's documentary The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare.

    R.C. Horsch: The Suspected Serial Killer Behind the Camera

    Seven missing women. A disturbing collection of photographs and videos. And a Philadelphia house at the centre of a suspected serial killer investigation. For decades, Raymond “R.C.” Horsch created films and photographs depicting violence, exploitation and death. But were his most disturbing scenes simply fiction, or could some have captured something far more sinister? In Part One of a special two-part True Crime Now investigation, Erica Voss explores Horsch's criminal past, the women who disappeared and the chilling questions surrounding his legacy. Who was the man behind the camera? And what secrets did he leave behind?

    Nidal Hasan: The Fort Hood Massacre and Trump's Livestream Execution Controversy

    Thirteen people murdered on an American military base. An Army psychiatrist turned mass killer. And seventeen years later, a controversial plan to livestream his execution. On 5 November 2009, Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, killing thirteen people and wounding thirty-two others. The massacre shocked America. But even more disturbing were the questions that followed: Had the warning signs been ignored? Could the attack have been prevented? In 2013, Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death. Then, in October 2026, President Donald Trump approved his execution by firing squad. When Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth proposed livestreaming the execution, the announcement sparked national outrage and debate. Trump subsequently cancelled the broadcast, but the execution remained scheduled. In this four-chapter True Crime Now investigation, Erica Voss examines the Fort Hood massacre, the victims, the missed warnings, Hasan's trial and the extraordinary controversy surrounding his punishment. Does the death penalty deliver justice? And should America ever broadcast an execution?

    Erik and Lyle Menendez: Murder or Survival?

    Two wealthy brothers. Two parents brutally murdered in their Beverly Hills mansion. Allegations of years of sexual abuse. And a criminal case that would divide America for more than three decades. On 20 August 1989, José and Kitty Menendez were shot dead inside their family home in Beverly Hills, California. Their sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez, initially denied responsibility before admitting to the killings. Prosecutors argued that the brothers had murdered their parents for a multimillion-dollar inheritance. But the defence presented a very different explanation: years of alleged physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and two young men who claimed they genuinely feared for their lives. What followed became one of the most sensational murder trials in American history. After their first trial ended with deadlocked juries, both brothers were convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In this five-chapter True Crime Now investigation, journalist Erica Voss examines the Menendez family's troubled history, the shocking events of August 1989, the allegations of abuse, the evidence presented in court and the extraordinary trials that captivated the nation. We also explore how the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story reignited worldwide interest in the case, the emergence of additional evidence, and the legal developments that gave the brothers a renewed opportunity for freedom. Following their resentencing in May 2025, both brothers became eligible for parole. But their applications were denied in August 2025, leaving their future uncertain and the debate about justice, rehabilitation and punishment far from over. Were Erik and Lyle Menendez calculating killers driven by greed, or did years of alleged abuse leave them believing murder was their only means of survival? Did they receive a fair trial? And after more than three decades behind bars, should they ever be allowed to walk free? Join us as we separate established facts from disputed allegations in one of America's most controversial true-crime cases.

Their convictions remain in place. Their allegations of abuse, and the prosecution's interpretation of their motives, have been the subject of extensive legal proceedings and public debate.

    Charlie Kirk: The Assassination That Shook Trump's America

    One gunshot on a university campus. A prominent political activist killed in front of thousands. A nationwide manhunt. And a murder investigation that sent shockwaves through Donald Trump's America. On 10 September 2025, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA and one of President Donald Trump's most influential political allies, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. What followed was more than a murder investigation. Kirk's assassination ignited a national debate about political violence, free speech, extremism and the increasingly bitter divisions within American politics. In this six-chapter True Crime Now investigation, journalist Erica Voss examines Kirk's rise to political prominence, his close relationship with Donald Trump, the events surrounding the fatal shooting and the extraordinary manhunt that followed. We also explore the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the evidence presented by prosecutors, the alleged motive and the legal battle ahead. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. Who was responsible for Charlie Kirk's assassination? What does the evidence reveal about the accused killer? And how did one gunshot shake the foundations of American politics?
