9 cases
The Stolen Cradle
In September 2000, two expectant mothers met by chance in a Walmart and discovered they were neighbors — days later, Theresa Andrews vanished along with the Jeep Wrangler she had arranged to sell to a mystery buyer.
The Girl in the Barrel
During a final walkthrough before the sale of a Jericho, New York house in September 1999, the buyer insisted on removing a 355-pound barrel that had sat wedged in the crawlspace for decades — a barrel the seller had never once opened.
The Incest Killer
Given up for adoption to protect her from her volatile father, Katie Fusco grew up happy in Dover, New York — until, just after turning eighteen, she went looking for her biological family and found Steven Pladl waiting.
A Grisly New Orleans Tale
Bartenders Zack Bowen and Addie Hall became French Quarter folk heroes for riding out Hurricane Katrina in style — a year before a note found on the roof of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel sent police to their Rampart Street apartment.
The Kičevo Monster
In sleepy Kičevo, Macedonia, three older women were beaten and strangled between 2005 and 2008 — and mild-mannered local journalist Vlado Taneski covered the murders with an uncanny eye for details no reporter should have known.
Lost in the Desert
Taw Benderly answered Loretta Bowersock's room-for-rent ad penniless and charming, and stayed for eighteen years — until December 14, 2004, when he rushed up to a Tucson mall security desk claiming Loretta had simply vanished from outside Dillard's.
The Millionaire
Millionaire Christopher Foster spent August 25, 2008, shooting clay pigeons and relaxing at a neighbor's barbecue with his wife Jill and daughter Kirstie. By sunrise, their Shropshire mansion, Osbaston House, was a smoldering ruin concealing the truth of his collapsing empire.
Bail Granted
Dr. Andrew Bagby, a young physician beloved by his Pennsylvania patients, was found dead after ending his turbulent relationship with Shirley Turner, a medical-school classmate twelve years his senior. She fled to Newfoundland — carrying Andrew's unborn son.
Fourteen Days
Patients in Reidsville, North Carolina, trusted 'Young Dr. Klenner' with their lives — but Fritz Klenner had never attended medical school, and his years of deception would end in a trail of dead across two families.
