  • Vermont: The Murders of George and Catherine Peacock
    Sep 9 2024
    George Peacock, 76, and his wife, Catherine, 73 were creatures of habit. So much so, that when George did not show up at a local convenience store one morning in his hometown of Danbury, Vermont to get the paper, the clerk noticed. He also did not show up for his part time job at the Rutland Travel Lodge on Sunday, September 17, 1989. Friends of the couple were asked to go check their home.
    What they saw there shocked them. Both George and Catherine were dead, and both had been stabbed multiple times. There was no forced entry into the home so it must have been someone they knew. The couple's three daughters and their husbands were interviewed, and their middle daughter, Penny, had a husband named Michael Luis whose story kept changing for the day of the murders. It would take over 30 years and modern science to finally solve the case of the senseless killings.

  • Utah: The Senseless Killing of Lauren McCluskey
    Aug 25 2024
    Lauren McCluskey was an excellent 21-year-old athlete who competed on the track at field team at the University of Utah. At the beginning of Lauren's senior year there, in 2018, she met a man named Sean Fields while out at a club. Sean was 28 years old and went to the local community college. Sean and Lauren started dating for a few weeks in September and October and things were going great...or so Lauren thought.
    It turned out that Sean Fields was actually 37-year-old Melvin Shawn Roland and he was a criminal. Roland had been arrested many times throughout his troubled life. Once Lauren found out about his past, and the fact that he had lied to her about his age and his name, she broke it off with him.
    But Melvin was not done with her. He stalked, extorted, blackmailed and harrassed Lauren so much so that Lauren went to the campus police and the local police. But no one would listen and no one would take her claims seriously. Until one night, in October of 2018, the unthinkable happened.

  • Texas: The Murder of Mary Lou Morris and the Murder of Mary McGinnis Morris
    Aug 12 2024
    Mary Lou Morris and Mary McGinnis Morris were two middle-aged women with short, dark curly hair and brown eyes. Mary Lou Morris was a bank loan officer and lived in Baytown, Texas. Mary McGinnis Morris was a healthcare medical director and lived in Sugarland, Texas. Mary Lou Morris was murdered by being burned alive in her car on a country road on October 12, 2000. Mary McGinnis Morris was murdered by being shot in the head on October 16, 2000. The two women were killed in towns that were only 30 miles apart.
    The Texas police considered the women's deaths to be coincidences, since the two did not know each other and had never met. But many believe that two women with the same name, same look and who lived in neighboring towns were killed because of a case of mistaken identity. But who wanted one or both of them dead?
