S. 15 Ep. 3 The Life and Murder of Jacob Williamson
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.

S. 15 Ep. 2 Smiley Face Killers Part Two 2
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?

S. 15 Ep. 1 Smiley Face Killers - A Conspiracy Theory or Scary Fact? Part 1
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...

S. 14 Ep. 15 Online Gamer -The Murder of Breck Bednar
14 year old Breck Bednar of the U.K. started to get into a dark place towards the end of his 13th year of life. He preferred to remain in his room playing video games and online chatting than spending time with his family, friends and everything else he enjoyed before meeting 18 year old Lewis Daynes online. Lewis was a master manipulator and put seeds into Breck's head about how his life should be. Breck was at a very impressionable age and to him, Lewis was his idol. However Lewis was grooming Breck to be part of his sexually sadistic fantasies, and one day in early 2014 the two would meet.
True Crime Quickie is a 2016 unsolved case of Laura Cuni in Miami, Florida.
