It was on a dateline or 20/20 episode and the police are interviewing the guy who is confessing to dismembering the victim in the bathtub. I believe they found the victim still in there because the murderer couldn't figure out how to get rid of the body. I believe the murderer also forced their roommate to help them try to help cover it up. It was in the south maybe... I remember the detective asking had an accent.

All I remember is a female being convicted of I think murder and then sentenced. Her sentence was successfully appealed and she was able to choose between a jury to resentence or a judge and the judge was limited to not more than the original sentence but the jury wasn't but she thought the jury would be sympathetic but they were indeed not and she ended up with a longer sentence?

I'd thought it was the murder and mutilation of Jennifer Cave and the convict was Laura Ashley Hall, but now that I'm reading up on that again, it appears I'm wrong.

Hopefully this is familiar to someone?

Hi, ive never posted before but I really want to find this case that I saw on YouTube and ive had no luck from just Googling it so I thought id come on here and ask you all.

This case was probably from an EXPLOREWITHUS video or a similar account. I remember a man was killed (or went missing) so the police went to investigate his apartment complex and his neighbors. (this complex may have been for felons or it could have been just a poor area) When they arrived they saw a woman in the parking lot and they began to talk to her and ask about the victim, neighbors, etc. She insisted that she didn't know anything and she wasn't deemed as suspicious so they moved on. Further interviews had police come to the conclusion that it was likely these specific tenants that were known for being violent and wouldn't open their door when they knocked. These people were supposedly violent towards the other tenants for money and drugs. Eventually they relapse that the woman they spoke to first, who went my evie i think, was the killer. The only other detail I remember was in the beginning when they interviewed her at first the voice over showed a specific car and said it would be important for later.

Sorry I know this is very lengthy and not very detailed but I really want to find this case!

I want to say this case was from the 80’s or 90’s but I could be wrong. White male. USA or Canada. There was speculation the victim was already dead by that point and the dog walker encountered his dead body as the killer was in the process of moving it.

Thanks in advance

There was a case I heard of where 2 or 3 people were murdered in like a pawn shop or a mechanic shop, one of the victims had a pregnant wife and the police thought she may have been behind the murders because they thought she was pregnant by an employee/friend of the husbands. But it turned out that the lab had labeled the DNA wrong and the pregnant woman was in fact pregnant by her husband. I know I heard this on a true crime podcast but I cannot find it anywhere and it’s driving me insane!

Heard this one on a podcast years ago. I can't remember if it might have been The Trail Went Cold, Crimelines (or its former iteration, In Sight), or something completely different. I am fairly sure it was in the US.

A young adult (university student kind of age) was at his parents' home. The parents went out to a literature or creative writing class or group. When they got home, their son was dead (I think hanging but am definitely not certain on this). It was ruled a suicide.

For reasons I can't remember, there are doubts as to this ruling, with some unusual circumstances leading some to believe that it could have been foul play.

There was an odd but important detail about the paramedics (whom the parents had called upon finding their son) spending a lot of time examining the gulley/valley/ravine behind the house.

Chat GPT has not helped! TIA for any pointers.

Does anyone know of a case or cases of anyone who was convicted of killing their infant

Hey everyone a crime has been tormenting me because I just can’t remember enough details to find it. ChatGPT was useless as well.

So a young guy, probably around early 20s killed 3 people at a house with a knife. (This is in the United States)… the last of the 3 was a 10 or 12 year old boy who barricaded himself in a bedroom but was unfortunately got. The murders started out in the garage with one victim and led into the house.

When the killer was caught he was talking about Ronin… the Japanese samurai who turn into assassins. He was a nerdy odd ball from memory…

Can anyone remember the case… probably mid to early 2000s.

The murder(s) occurred on a hiking trail or in woods used for recreation. There was some evidence that the killer was lying in wait and then hiked off-trail to a road to escape. I think there was more than one victim. I'm not certain on the method but I think it was firearms.

Not the Williams-Winans murder in Shenendoah.

Not the Cooper-Stoddard murder in Snohomish County, WA. I thought it was this one and when I was listening to The Trail Went Cold recently I expected to hear this detail, but it was not the case.

I’m looking for a case I saw on a crime documentary. A man murdered a woman, and he had numerous cuts and scratches on his arms from the victim fighting back and scratching him. When detectives first brought him in for questioning, they couldn’t get much information out of him. During a second interview, they asked him to remove his sweater and noticed all the scratches on his arms. He claimed they were from clearing brush or possibly from a cat. This detail untimetly leads to his arrest and deeper investigation into the murder.

i saw a documentary a while ago on a murder case and i was trying to find information about it just now and i CAN’T, nothing comes up. i remember quite a few details about it.

it was fairly recent, in the 2010s or later i think. torso of a female was found near a river or some kind of body of water, in some branches in a bag? female was on a heavier side and not white. later they found her skull in another bag, possibly hands, but nothing was found with dental records and fingerprints. nothing matched any missing persons, so they did a facial reconstruction on the skull, measured stuff, put clay on it and everything, and posted it everywhere. and someone recognized her as a quiet immigrant woman from her english class. she recently moved to the united states to her brother (?) and there was a group photo of her and her classmates but literally nothing else and no one really knew her and she didn’t have any friends yet and her brother didn’t report her missing because he was the one who killed her. i think she came from somewhere in central america. and the likeness of the facial reconstruction model and the woman was absolutely incredible.

please help.

Can’t remember too many details but it’s a mom and son missing for I think 20 years? Moms a person of interest in the case
