From the outside, it appeared as if Veronica Paz desperately missed high school. She missed the social aspect, the drama, and most importantly… the boys. For his part, Brandon Perry would have probably done just about anything for his high school sweetheart, Veronica, and she was about to put that devotion to the test.

Some people are… magnetic, easily able to attach themselves to others, drawing them in with relative ease with their larger than life personalities.
There are just some people who can talk to anyone, make them feel at ease, quickly transitioning from stranger to acquaintance, to… friend.

Rituals span across every country, every religion, and every group.
No matter what you are a part of, there are going to be rituals and practices that you follow, sometimes without even realizing it.
This week we follow the case of a man who wanted to perform an ancient ritual, one now banned in almost every civilized country.
This week we cover the story of Tyree Lincoln Smith.

Catherine May Wood was… an enigma. She constantly complained about how unfair her life was right before bragging about how she was in complete control, not only of her life, but also of the lives of those around her. She just couldn't seem to make up her mind claiming that she was both a victim, and a maestro, a tragic character beset by life, while also being the puppeteer controlling everything in her domain. Then, Gwendolyn Gail Graham entered into her life, and seemingly all hell broke loose.

This week's case has a little bit of everything. I wish that there was more information, I wish there was more to find on this story, but what is available is enough to see that people like Ed Gien aren’t one of a kind.

Robert Ronald Mudman Simon was a prototypical biker gang member not only in appearance but also in temperament. He really didn’t care about the world or those around him, unless they were in his gang. Human life was just not that important to him, and it showed.

In the beginning it appeared as if Paul Eugene Rowles was an easy criminal to work with if there ever was such a thing.
Almost every time he was confronted about a crime he would quickly crumble and admit to it if he was in fact the man who had committed the act, but eventually that all changed.
Due to that fact we just can’t be sure exactly what he’s done, but what we do know is grim to say the least.

Gary Gene Tison tried anything and everything to avoid punishment, no matter how small the issue.
He also had a family who stood by him no matter how ridiculous he became.
Those two facets combined caused one of the worst prison breaks in Arizona history.
