It always surprises me when I hear about cases like this one, or honestly any cases these days, of how the perpetrators could believe that they could get away with murder knowing how much technology surrounds us, and keeps track of our every moment. Yet, here we are, with another case of "I'm pretty sure I can get away with this." This case is a frightening reminder just how sensitive parenting is - one lean too far in one direction (neglect) or the other (over-attentive), an

Before I dove into researching this case, I had watched The Behavior Panel analysis - which I mention in this episode - and was shocked at the demeanor of the perpetrator. It's hard to believe that there are individuals in this world that feel nothing, quit literally. This isn't one of those cases whether you believe the person was guilty of not - it's pretty clear they were...what isn't clear is what caused them to do it. Was it their personality? Was it their upbringing? Wa

Would you ever think that someone was plotting to murder you? You'd probably say "I HOPE NOT!" right? I don't think ANY of us would think that someone we knew would be thinking of a way to murder us, but shockingly, it happens. In today's day and age, it still surprises me that people think they can get away with murder - with all the technology that we have today, it's certainly not easy, and the more technology we have, the harder it will become. I can't give away too much

In doing the research for my content, I read several crime cases each day, and some of them ultimately will drop from my mind, never to be remembered again. Trust me, that's not such a bad thing...the horrors of some of these cases can make their mark on you. What John Battaglia did in the spring of 2001, is an example of one case that will do just that. This case will stick with you. It's a heart-wrenching reminder that domestic violence has no boundaries, no limitations...a

Here we are at Part 2 of The Pike County Murders. With no suspects named after over 2 years into the investigation, the public thought that the killers would never be found, and that no one would be arrested. When suspects were actually named at a public news conference, complete shock went through the county of Piketon as well as the general public. Those individuals allegedly responsible for the Rhoden and Gilley murders were not in fact members of a drug cartel, but were

I'm starting to think there's something in the water in rural Ohio! When this case hit the news, I immediately assumed this was a drug deal gone bad. It had all the markings of that type of crime - eight people from the same family murdered, children spared, and marijuana plants on the premises. It all seemed to fit, except when the suspects were named and arrested. I've followed this case since the onset, and although it appears the suspects will not go to trial until possib

I describe in this episode the possible motives behind why a mother would harm her own children. Even having some knowledge of those reasons, I still find it difficult to fathom how a person can hurt or kill their own children. What goes on in the mind of someone in that circumstance, we'll certainly never know, but the ramifications of their actions run deep and are devastating.
