9 cases
The Oxford Murder
Oxford student Rachel McLean met charming bartender John Tanner one Blackpool summer, and his stream of love letters grew as intense as his frustration with the distance — then Rachel missed an appointment she never would have missed.
Apartment 9
Mindy Morgenstern, a farm-raised North Dakota college student adopted from Colombia, was found murdered in her Valley City apartment in September 2006. The DNA under her fingernails pointed somewhere unthinkable: a corrections officer living in her own building.
The Wrong Car
At 2:09 a.m. in Columbia, South Carolina's Five Points district, college senior Samantha Josephson opened her Uber app and stepped toward a waiting car. It looked like her ride. The man behind the wheel, Nathaniel Rowland, was not.
The Reno Predator
Nineteen-year-old Brianna Denison fell asleep on a friend's couch near the University of Nevada, Reno campus in January 2008, a teddy bear tucked under her head. By morning she was gone — and police realized a predator had been stalking the university district for months.
The Digital Trail
Seventeen-year-old Taylor Behl arrived at Virginia Commonwealth University brimming with excitement for college life. She had no idea that Ben Fawley — a 38-year-old 'goth' photographer whose apartment was a shrine to death — was watching her.
The All-American Monster
Accounting student Mary Fleszar stepped out for fresh air on a July evening in Ypsilanti in 1967 and vanished — the first of the coeds whose deaths would terrorize Eastern Michigan University for two years.
2-4-1
Virginia Tech junior Morgan Harrington left her seat at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville in 2009 and never came back inside — and years later the case of Hannah Graham would bring her name roaring back.
The Long Ride Home
Nineteen-year-old psychology student Özgecan Aslan boarded a minibus home from campus in Mersin, Turkey — a ride that would end in the hills and ignite protests across the entire country.
Room 30
Tyler Clementi arrived at Rutgers a gifted violinist quietly starting a new life. Weeks into his freshman year, his roommate Dharun Ravi pointed a webcam at Room 30 — and Tyler found out what it had seen.
