The Murder of Holly Williams

This week, we’re covering the shocking double murder of Holly Williams and her boyfriend Bill Lanway who were found shot to death in a car off the highway in Nashville in March 2020. At first, it looked like a tragic car accident, but what police uncovered pointed to something far more sinister. Holly, a Nashville aesthetician with a secret life, had unknowingly become the center of a dangerous web involving blackmail and a hit squad of ex-military operatives, hired not by a cartel or crime boss...

It’s one of the most bizarre and disturbing cases we’ve covered yet: when Sarah Boone called 911 in 2020 to report her boyfriend dead, she claimed it was all a tragic accident during a game of hide and seek.

The Murders of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart

On New Year’s Eve 1997, 17-year-old Olivia Hope and her close friend Ben Smart vanished after a party at the remote Furneaux Lodge in New Zealand’s stunning Marlborough Sounds. They were last seen boarding a water taxi in the early hours of the morning with a man who’s never been conclusively identified. What followed was one of New Zealand’s most high-profile investigations, leading to the arrest and conviction of Scott Watson — a man who still claims he’s innocent. But the deeper you look into...

The Murder of Lita McClinton

When a delivery man showed up at Lita McClinton’s Buckhead townhouse with a box of pink long stem roses, she probably thought it was a sweet gesture before a stressful day in court. Instead, it was the last thing she ever saw. From the jump, everyone knew who was behind this. But proving it? That was a whole different battle. It took 20 years, a messy divorce, a wiretapping scandal, an FBI raid, a fugitive on the run, and literal doorbell sound effects in court before justice was finally served....

The Death of Ellen Greenberg

In January 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment by her fiancé, Sam. The door was locked from the inside with a swing bar latch, so at first glance, it seemed like a tragic suicide. But when the medical examiner discovered 20 stab wounds—yes, 20—to her chest, head, and the back of her neck, they ruled it a homicide. The police, however, disagreed. Despite the unending and unanswered questions, they stuck to their guns and called it a suicide. But what really happened ...
