Nobody else in the Murdaugh case occupies Eric Bland's position. He's the attorney who built the financial crimes case that became the prosecution's motive theory. He represents the Satterfield family whose testimony the Supreme Court just called prejudicial. He represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation. And he's been inside this machinery since before the first trial began.In this full interview, Bland takes on the Supreme Court ruling, the retrial landscape, and the Stephen Smith

The person who took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home has not been identified. And right now, the internet is making that job harder. Every viral theory that circulates — every fabricated lead, every comment-section accusation, every “gait analysis” from a grainy nighttime doorbell clip — generates tips that investigators are obligated to process. Tens of thousands of them. That’s tens of thousands of hours spent on noise while the actual forensic trail — the DNA, the backpack sales records, the

Cindy Paulson gave Anchorage police everything. A name. An address. A vehicle. An airplane. The specific parking spot at Merrill Field. She was still wearing Robert Hansen's handcuffs when she told them. A security guard at the airfield independently confirmed her story. The evidence was verifiable, specific, and actionable.They didn't believe her. Hansen had a bakery and a reputation. Cindy was a teenager on the streets of Anchorage. They shelved the case.

A huge sense of relief. That is how Rex Heuermann's defense attorney described what his client felt after pleading guilty to killing eight women over seventeen years. Not remorse. Not grief. Relief.Heuermann stood in a Suffolk County courtroom and answered every question from the DA in one or two words. Strangulation. Yes. Eight. He never elaborated. He never looked at the gallery. He planned every murder around his family's vacation schedule and maintained an architecture career, a marriage, and a

The evidence that helped convict Adam Montgomery of murder the first time — multiple independent witnesses to a pattern of violence against Harmony, documented injuries nobody disputed — has been excluded from the retrial. The New Hampshire Supreme Court’s ruling severing the assault and murder charges means the prosecution walks into the Harmony Montgomery retrial without the material that made the first conviction feel certain.What remains: Kayla Montgomery’s testimony, the cover-up evidence, and

SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of something they found while investigating the Murdaugh murders. They've never said what it was.

Timothy Hudson met every condition of his release for months. No violations. Total compliance. And a federal judge just said none of it mattered — not against what he was reading. Anna Kepner’s accused killer is behind bars.Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres had released Hudson in February and held the line through prosecution pressure and public outcry. As recently as May 27, Torres kept him free after a hearing. The defense’s argument was simple and, on paper, true: Hudson had done everything right

Two hundred yards. Two football fields. With a shattered jaw, a fractured eye socket, stab wounds, and lacerations across her face and head. Holly Dunn could not call for help — her jaw was destroyed. She could barely see. But she could make out the shape of a house in the distance, and she walked toward it because lying down on railroad tracks in Kentucky at twenty years old was not how her story was going to end.The man who left her there was Angel Maturino Reséndiz — the Railroad Killer, who

Adam Montgomery’s defense has a theory, and the retrial is where it gets tested: Kayla Montgomery killed Harmony on December 7, 2019, while Adam was out. He came back, found his daughter dead, and spent months covering it up. That’s the story they intend to put in front of a new jury in the Harmony Montgomery murder case.The theory has one thing going for it: Kayla is the only witness to the fatal night, and her credibility is damaged.

A blockchain security firm says this looks like a crypto hit. An anonymous tip crosses the border and nobody tells the sheriff.
