Nicole Virzi travels from her home in San Diego to Pittsburgh to visit her best friend Savannah Roberts and her husband Ethan Katz after the couple welcomed twin boys, Leon and Ari. The twins are six weeks old when Virzi offers to watch the tots so Savannah and Ethan can have a much needed evening out. While Savannah and Ethan are at dinner, Nicole sends a picture of Ari that appears to show some kind of injury to the child. Savannah and Ethan are thankful Nicole is in town to help take care of Leon as they take Ari to the hospital. What Savannah Roberts and Ethan Katz don't kow is that Nicole Virzi is the one who injuried Ari, and she did it so she would be left alone to torture Leon Katz without fear of interruption. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go up close and personal with a case that ends with a 6-week-old baby in the hospital, and his twin brother in the morgue.

In October 1974, 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith vanished after an evening out with friends in Utah. Because her father was the local police chief, a massive search began immediately, but nine agonizing days passed before two hunters discovered her body in a Summit County ditch. Now, 50 years later, investigators used the breakthrough DNA profile confirmed in Laura Ann Aime’s case to match biological evidence preserved from Melissa Ann Smith, officially closing the 50-year cold case and confirming Ted Bundy was her killer.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack break down the autopsy findings and physical evidence, examining how pathologists determined Melissa was held captive alive for several days before she was killed.

What if Alex Murdaugh didn't murder his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul? What if Alex Murdaugh was judged guilty because the jury was stunned by information of financial crimes and drug addiction and believed if a man could do all the things Murdaugh was accused of doing, murdering his wife and son seemed more than just possible. And what if a trusted clerk of court was putting ideas into the heads of some jury members that led them to believe Murdaugh was a murderer. Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder conviction was officially overturned on May 13, 2026. The South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously reversed his 2023 convictions and ordered a new trial. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack review the evidence that led to his conviction the first time to determine if a second guilty verdict is likely...or was an innocent man convicted for all the wrong reasons?
