In the late 90's two young men would be discovered dead. Their heads had been smashed with a baseball bat and each of their bodies would be located exactly a year apart. Allan Grimson was picked up for these murders to which he confessed. Another sailor would disappear 11 years earlier, on the exact same date the other two young men were murdered...coincidence? Not likely. True Crime Quickie from South Africa in August of 2024.

71 year old disabled veteran Jack Irwin had a wonderful life in Mt. Baldy, California. But as he was getting older, he was in fear he might need more assistance and purchase a home in Upland, California, closer to hospitals. Upon putting his cabin in Mt. Baldy for sale, he met two lesbians that were interested in his cabin but couldn't afford it. So Jack offered them a rent to own deal that would benefit all of them. Upon moving to Upland, a few months later the women would come to stay with Jack with the pretense of taking care of him. What they care of was his savings...and a few other things.... Jack would never be seen again after the women left his home a few months later.
