    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.

    Rachel Winkler Murder Case: Todd Winkler Cameron Park California Explained | True Crime

    On a quiet morning in 2012, a respectable father of three knocked on a neighbor’s door in Cameron Park, California. He handed over his eight-month-old son and, in an almost steady voice, asked the neighbor to call the police. There had been an incident, he said. His wife, Rachel, was dead. Todd Winkler, a former Air Force F-16 pilot and senior medical technology executive, told deputies that Rachel had attacked him with scissors during the night and that he had acted in self-defense. But detectives noticed the details. His hair was damp. He smelled of shampoo and aftershave. His hands were freshly bandaged. By his own timeline, more than six hours had passed, and he had made breakfast for his children and showered before asking for help. The investigation uncovered a different story. Rachel had discovered hidden accounts, missed mortgage payments and an expensive lifestyle built on credit. She had quietly hired a divorce attorney, and Todd had read her emails the day before. Forensic evidence did not match the self-defense claim. Investigators also looked into the 1999 death of his first wife in a truck fire in Georgia, which had been ruled an accident. He was never charged in that case. In 2014, a jury unanimously convicted Todd Winkler of first-degree premeditated murder, and he was sentenced to 26 years to life. This episode follows Rachel’s life, the evidence that dismantled his story, and the trial. Content note: This episode discusses domestic violence and the killing of a mother. Listener discretion is advised.

    Amy Mullis Murder Case: Todd Mullis and the Corn Rake Accident Explained | True Crime

    On a fall morning in 2018, an old pickup truck sped down a rural Iowa highway while farmer Todd Mullis shouted into a phone. He told dispatchers his wife, Amy, had fallen onto a corn rake in a shed. Amy, a 39-year-old former nurse and mother of three, didn’t survive. At the hospital, doctors found six deep puncture wounds in her back, but the tool Todd said he’d pulled out had only four tines. Friends and family described a marriage that had become a cage. After an affair came to light in 2013, Todd insisted that Amy quit nursing and work only for the family farm. According to people close to the family, he timed her trips for groceries and approved her friends. In 2018, she began a second secret relationship, started hiding furniture at her brother’s house, and told a friend where to look if she ever disappeared. Her 13-year-old son told her he was afraid she wouldn’t be there when he came home. Investigators found no footprints in the snow around the shed, security cameras that had mysteriously stopped working two weeks earlier, and deleted tablet searches about how unfaithful wives had been punished. The prosecution’s case rested on a timeline, a son who had stepped away for a minute at a time, and a whisper on the 911 recording, which Todd denied. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life without parole. He is appealing. This episode follows Amy’s life, the control she lived under, and how the evidence unraveled a story about an accident. Content note: This episode discusses domestic abuse and the killing of a mother. Listener discretion is advised.

    Natalie Martin Murder Case: Myrtle Beach Graduation Trip Explained | True Crime

    In June 2023, a group of recent Ohio high school graduates traveled 500 miles to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to celebrate. One morning, a terrified friend called 911 from their rented condo. Eighteen-year-old Natalie Martin, a preschool teacher who loved hunting and fishing and had a reputation for fearlessness, was lying on the floor of a bedroom locked from the inside. Her ex-boyfriend, Blake, was beside her, and he confessed at the scene. Behind the picture-perfect image of a high school couple, friends described a pattern of control. He went through her phone, tracked who she spoke to, and became jealous over innocent conversations. After he shoved Natalie in front of others that spring, she ended the relationship. A month later, he sent her a text threatening to hurt any man she dated. Natalie stood her ground, and went on the trip anyway. That night, according to the case, a message from another man on her phone set him off. Despite the confession, the court allowed him to go home to Ohio on bond, and Natalie’s father waited 635 days for justice. In March 2025, Blake pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 45 years in prison without parole. This episode follows Natalie’s life, the warning signs her friends and family saw, the night itself, and the long fight for a sentence.

    Costa Rica Triple Murder 2017: Isamar, Andrés and Kendall Explained | True Crime

    In August 2017, a Costa Rican television personality, her boyfriend and her 17-year-old brother left home in a luxury BMW worth about $150,000. A short time later, all three smartphones went offline at virtually the same moment. The car vanished. There was no ransom demand, no phone call and no sign of a struggle. Two of them were found dead on a remote riverbank, and the teenager wasn’t found for another week. Traffic cameras showed a stranger driving the BMW at dawn, followed closely by a dark SUV. The car had no visible damage, and there were no skid marks or broken glass on the road. That meant the victims had stopped willingly, for someone they had no reason to fear. Investigators believed the case came down to a hidden fortune. According to reports, the boyfriend had come into a large amount of cash and illegal goods belonging to someone else. A trusted associate allegedly gave away his routines. That man was shot dead before police could question him. The trail then led to a group of current and former police officers who had made the attack look like a routine stop. Three men were convicted in 2020 and sentenced to between 65 and 80 years, and a fourth was acquitted. This episode follows the case minute by minute, from the missing phones and the BMW on camera to the arrests and the trial. Content note: This episode discusses the murder of two young adults and a teenager.

    Heidi Fergus Murder Case: Nick Fergus St. Paul Minnesota Explained | True Crime

    On a Sunday morning in April 2010, 25-year-old Heidi Fergus called 911 from her home in St. Paul, Minnesota. She said someone was trying to get in. About 35 seconds into the call, there was a scream and a loud blast, and the line went dead. Her husband, Nick, told police an intruder had grabbed his shotgun and shot them both. No one saw a man arrive or leave. What almost no one knew was that the house had been sold at a sheriff’s auction nearly a year earlier, and a deputy was due to lock the couple out at noon the next day. Prosecutors said Nick had hidden the foreclosure from his wife, his church and their friends behind a stream of small lies, and that the shooting came when the deadline could no longer be avoided. It took eleven years to bring a charge. In 2023, a jury convicted Nick Fergus of first-degree murder after about four hours, and he was sentenced to life without release. In 2026, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the verdict, but the chief justice dissented, saying the evidence left room for doubt. Nick has always maintained his innocence. This episode follows Heidi’s life, the financial collapse behind the scenes, what the evidence shows and doesn’t show, and the two families still living with the outcome. Content note: This episode discusses the killing of a young woman. Listener discretion is advised.

    Crystal Kenny Murder Case: Highland City Florida Explained | True Crime

    Crystal Kenny was a fiercely protective mother of three from Highland City, Florida. She had raised two children on her own, waited a year before introducing her future husband to them, and met him through church. She believed she was finally building a stable family. On Monday night, December 22, 2025, three days before Christmas, an argument over the living room television turned deadly. Crystal told her 12-year-old son to run to the neighbors and call 911. Moments later, her husband, Jason Kenny, shot and killed her. He then shot her 13-year-old daughter, who survived. The family’s one-year-old was found asleep and unharmed. Jason drove away and later took his own life, so there will never be a trial. Investigators found a handwritten note Crystal had left for him, saying he was drinking and using cocaine again, and that he needed God. Relatives said he had been physically abusive, though the sheriff’s office had never received a domestic violence call from the home. Sheriff Grady Judd called the girl’s survival a “Christmas miracle.” This episode follows Crystal’s life, the warning signs, the night itself, and what the evidence can and can’t tell us. Content note: This episode discusses domestic violence, the killing of a mother, the shooting of a child, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
