6 cases
The Coffee Killer
Jessica Wongso arrived oddly early at Jakarta's trendy Olivier restaurant and ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee for her old college friend Mirna Salihin — a drink investigators would later determine contained a lethal dose of cyanide.
The Black Widow
Lonely widower Fred Weeks proposed within days of white-haired, rosy-cheeked 'Millie' knocking on his Nova Scotia door — and on the honeymoon ferry to Newfoundland, he suddenly couldn't remember how to start his own car.
The Kennedale Murders
Eight days before Christmas 2009, a house fire lit up a quiet street in Kennedale, Texas — the home of John Hummel, his wife Joy, their five-year-old daughter, and Joy's father. Investigators soon realized the fire was only the cover story.
Over Our Dead Bodies
When fire tore through the Prairie Village, Kansas, mansion of physician Debora Green in October 1995, her children were still inside — and investigators would learn the flames were not the family's first brush with poison and ruin.
The Antifreeze Murders
A Springfield pastor called police with a chilling arithmetic: two members of the Staudte family were already dead and cremated, a third was failing fast in intensive care — and the mother at the center of it all did not seem afraid.
Are You With Me?
Hours after toasting a real estate deal with a Moscow Mule mixed by his wife Kouri, Eric Richins was found cold on his bedroom floor in Kamas, Utah — no blood, no struggle, and no obvious reason a healthy 39-year-old should be dead.
