2026/06/02

The investigation into Ted Bundy's second year of killing began with a traffic stop nobody planned. Sergeant Bob Hayward, a twenty-two-year veteran of the Utah Highway Patrol, was sitting in his cruiser outside his own home in Granger, Utah, at 2:30 in the morning when a tan VW Beetle passed with its headlights off. He chased it. He searched it. What he found inside — a ski mask, a pantyhose mask with eyeholes cut by hand, a crowbar, an ice pick, rope, and handcuffs — was a kit assembled by someone

Fourteen months between Eric Richins' death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she closed a real estate deal the day after finding him dead, hosted a gathering at the home where EMTs had pronounced him, Googled luxury prisons and insurance timelines, published a children's grief book, and went on television to promote it.Most analysis focuses on whether the grief was real or performed. This episode argues the answer is both — simultaneously — in different compartments of a psychology that

The Crash: Did the Narrative Against Mackenzie...

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews ·

2026/06/02

No confession. No manifesto. No search history about staging a crash. No suicide note. No witnesses to intent. The prosecution's case against Mackenzie Shirilla was built on surveillance footage, black box data, text messages, and a prior threat — and then charged as four counts of premeditated murder. In most cases with that charge, there's a trail. In this one, there wasn't.Shirilla was seventeen when the crash in Strongsville, Ohio killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. The footage shows the

Ninety-three thousand text messages. That's how many were reviewed in the Mackenzie Shirilla case. Prosecutors pulled the most threatening ones and presented them to a judge as evidence of premeditated intent. "My way or the highway." "Watch your back." Messages that made Shirilla look controlling, volatile, and dangerous. But the texts closest to the crash — the ones sent in the final hours — were mundane. She complained about their friend Davion Flanagan taking too long to get in the car. No

2026/06/02

Why would investigators test a second man in the death of Anna Kepner? That’s one of the threads we pull on in this episode — and the answer opens a door the rest of the evidence can’t walk you through.Anna was eighteen, aboard the Carnival Horizon on a family trip, when she was found dead in her cabin. A recently unsealed court transcript lays out what prosecutors say they have against her sixteen-year-old stepbrother, who’s now charged as an adult. There’s DNA testing prosecutors put at numbers

Three cases, three very different points in the legal process — and one question worth asking across all of them: did the system get it right? Tony Brueski sits down with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a precise, procedure-focused look at the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the Anna Kepner prosecution, and the overturned Alex Murdaugh murder convictions.The Guthrie case raises questions about investigative conduct.

Everyone has an opinion about Alex Murdaugh's overturned conviction. Legal analysts are breaking down the ruling. Defense attorneys are celebrating on morning shows. Prosecutors are promising a retrial. But nobody is asking the question that matters most to the people closest to Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson isn't a legal analyst.

Why Was Alex Murdaugh's Murder Conviction Thrown Out?

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews ·

2026/06/01

The Alex Murdaugh murder case has been reset to zero, and the reason is a lesson in how fragile a conviction can be. On a unanimous vote, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh's double-murder convictions and ordered a new trial, finding that the Colleton County clerk of court improperly influenced the jury — in the court's words, placing her fingers on the scales of justice. Murdaugh is not going home; he remains in prison on a separate 27-year state sentence and a 40-year federal

Bob Keppel was one of the King County detectives who could see the pattern forming in the spring of 1974. Same age range. Same appearance. Same young man on crutches or in a sling. The Seattle papers started using the word pattern. The Task Force opened a tip line. The phone did not stop ringing.By summer, the Ted Task Force had a composite, a first name, and a car description from witnesses at Lake Sammamish, where the man calling himself Ted had taken two women from a crowded beach in a single

When Kouri Richins' Valentine's Day attempt on her husband's life failed, something happened that a psychotherapist would flag as the most important behavioral data in the case: she didn't panic. She recalibrated. She acquired more fentanyl. She adjusted the method. She increased the dose. And seventeen days later, Eric Richins was dead.This episode opens a five-part psychological series examining the decision-making process behind every phase of the Kouri Richins case.

Why Is Anna Kepner's Case Being Tried In Federal Court?

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews ·

2026/06/01

The Anna Kepner case is unfolding in a courtroom most people will never see the inside of: federal court, where a 16-year-old is being prosecuted as an adult — something that almost never happens. The reason is jurisdictional. Anna, 18, died aboard the Carnival Horizon while the ship was in international waters, en route to Miami. Because she was a U.S. citizen and the death occurred on the high seas, outside any single state's authority, the case landed with the FBI and federal prosecutors.Former

The procedural story inside the Nancy Guthrie investigation has become almost as troubling as the disappearance itself. Months after the 84-year-old vanished from her Tucson home, the Pima County sheriff confirmed his office is no longer communicating directly with the family — the FBI has taken over all contact. Reporting has also raised questions about whether less-experienced investigators made early missteps, and the sheriff's own public statements have at points appeared to shift on a basic

The appellate challenge to Richard Allen's conviction in the Delphi murders rests on two primary grounds: the reliability of over sixty custodial confessions made during a period of diagnosed psychosis, and the validity of the probable cause affidavit that authorized the search warrant initiating the entire prosecution.On the confession issue, the defense filings document the following timeline.

In FBI and digital forensic terminology, a wrench attack is an organized crypto-extortion operation in which networks recruit disposable operatives to physically coerce targets into surrendering cryptocurrency holdings. These operations employ encrypted handler communications, layered payment channels designed to resist tracing, and deliberate separation between the operatives who execute the physical intrusion and the architects who direct it. Cases have been documented across multiple
