Married for over 30 years, active in their church, Amy was a beloved stay-at-home mom and Brian a well-respected police detective. When Brian called 911 shortly after noon on May 8th, 2018 to say that Amy had shot herself in the head, no one who knew the couple well doubted his story. But as investigators delved into the evidence, a different picture started to emerge. Was it possible that this highly regarded police officer killed his wife in a premeditated, cold-blooded manner?

  • The Karen Read murder trial has captivated the country. Karen is accused of hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in anger after a night of drinking with friends with her Lexus SUV when she dropped him off at a friend’s house, just after midnight on January 29, 2022 as a blizzard slammed the town of Canton, Massachusetts. After the alleged incident, Karen left the scene of the crime.

They argued that the trio beat John and left him in the snow to die by planting evidence and coaching witnesses.

  • Susan Powell was last seen on December 6, 2009. She and her husband of 8 years, Josh Powell, lived in West Valley City, Utah. In recent years their marriage had been strained due to financial issues and Josh’s detachment from his marriage. When the Powell’s two young sons, Charlie, 4, and Braden, 2, didn’t show up at daycare and Susan didn’t show up at work, their friends and family were instantly worried. Hours later, Josh was reached on his cell phone. He said he’d left at 1 am and taken his sons camping despite the cold and snowy conditions while Susan stayed home. Josh assumed she went to work. Police interviewed Josh but he was evasive and unhelpful. However, he was not arrested. What followed was a frustrating years-long investigation, a creepy obsession, an ugly custody dispute, and a tragic end.
