2026/05/29

The evidence file in Sandra Birchmore's case has reached a tipping point, and a judge just said so in writing. In denying bail to former Stoughton officer Matthew Farwell, the court described the evidence against him as very strong, if not overwhelming. We examine what's actually in that file.Birchmore, twenty-three and pregnant, was found dead in her Canton apartment in 2021. The state initially ruled it a suicide. Prosecutors later charged Farwell with killing her and staging the scene, alleging

For more than a decade, the Dan Markel case has produced conviction after conviction. What it has not produced is a charge against the two people prosecutors have repeatedly named as part of the conspiracy: Wendi Adelson and her father, Harvey. We dig into why.Markel, an FSU law professor, was shot in his Tallahassee garage in 2014 amid a bitter post-divorce battle with Wendi over their two sons and her thwarted attempt to relocate to South Florida.

The defendant in Anna Kepner's death has now been indicted as an adult — and that single procedural shift was supposed to change everything about whether he stays free before trial. Instead, a federal judge heard the prosecution's case for detention and walked away without a ruling.Here's what the record shows. Anna, eighteen, was traveling with her blended family aboard the Carnival Horizon when she was found dead in a shared room, her body concealed. The case moved to federal court because the

Mackenzie Shirilla's texts were controlling. Her threats were documented. Her TikTok persona screamed narcissism. Everything about her personality made people want to believe she was capable of murder. But since when does being a difficult person prove premeditated intent beyond a reasonable doubt?In the early morning of July 31st, 2022, Shirilla drove her car into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio at close to a hundred miles per hour, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo, twenty, and their

On the surface, these three cases share nothing. Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from her Tucson home is an unsolved kidnapping with DNA at the FBI lab and more than fifty thousand tips under review. The Anna Kepner case is a federal murder prosecution stemming from a death on a Carnival cruise ship, with the accused — her sixteen-year-old stepbrother Timothy Hudson — pleading not guilty and a family tearing itself apart in custody filings. The D4VD case is a death-eligible murder charge in Los

Todd Gabler never met Eric Richins. But he might know him better than almost anyone outside the family. Over the course of a year-long investigation, Gabler went through Eric's phone records, walked through his home, interviewed dozens of people who knew him, and pieced together the reality of a marriage and a life that ended in a way nobody should have to die.That kind of immersion changes an investigator. Especially one who's spent 34 years on the defense side — the side that challenges, pokes

Prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke — the musician known as D4VD — killed fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and attempted to conceal the evidence for months. They’ve filed special circumstance allegations including murder for financial gain. Burke has pleaded not guilty.

IDOC's own policy caps solitary confinement at thirty days for inmates with serious mental illness. Richard Allen had a diagnosed major depressive disorder and a history of suicidal ideation. According to the defense filings, he was held in the most restrictive solitary cell at Westville for thirteen months — the first pretrial safekeeper anyone could remember being placed there.

He called himself Vanguard. He claimed to be a once-in-a-generation intellect. When authorities came for him, Keith Raniere was crouched in a closet in Mexico while his follower confronted armed agents on his behalf.The investigation began after a 2017 exposé brought the secret inner circle into public view. The FBI raided NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman’s home. Raniere had already fled to Mexico. On March 26, 2018, he was arrested in Puerto Vallarta and extradited to Brooklyn, where a federal judge

More than fifty thousand tips have been submitted in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance. A retired Pima County detective believes the suspect’s name is probably already in that pile — investigators just haven’t reached it yet. DNA recovered from Nancy’s Tucson home has been shipped to the FBI crime lab at Quantico, where genetic genealogy analysis is reportedly ongoing. No arrest. No named suspect. And the person allegedly responsible has had months to make decisions — what to do with evidence, who to

David Anthony Burke spent his entire childhood learning to perform emotions from behind a screen — and according to prosecutors, he allegedly spent his early adulthood applying that skill to maintaining a reality nobody around him could detect.This episode goes somewhere different. We’re not walking through charges or court dates. We’re going inside the person. Burke grew up homeschooled, isolated, recording music in his sister’s closet.

The evidentiary picture in Aaron Spencer's case has shifted dramatically since Judge Ralph Wilson replaced Judge Barbara Elmore. The defense filed a motion to dismiss based on the destruction of evidence — an SD card from Michael Fosler's dashcam containing front-facing and rear-facing video and audio from the night of the shooting.

Every piece of evidence used to convict Richard Allen traces back to one document: Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit. According to the defense's appellate filings, that document told the judge a version of events the witnesses themselves would not recognize. Betsy Blair saw Bridge Guy up close and described a man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. The affidavit allegedly included her jacket description and omitted everything else.
