Nick Reiner’s first court appearance lasted only minutes, but it raised far more questions than it answered. As new details emerge about his mental state, suicide watch status, and behavior in the days before his parents were killed, a troubling picture is coming into focus. This episode explores the Christmas party his parents didn’t want to attend without him, how their daughter Romy was alerted after a massage therapist couldn’t access the home, and why investigators are still withholding key details. With first-degree murder charges and the death penalty on the table, this case may be about far more than a single night.

With special circumstances alleged and the possibility of the death penalty looming, this case is only becoming more complex.

A mother who spent months warning that she wasn’t safe. Two young twins whose lives ended far too soon. And a triple homicide that a small Arkansas town never saw coming. In this episode, Lauren unpacks the heartbreaking deaths of 40-year-old Charity Beallis and her 6-year-old twins, discovered shot inside their family home just one day after a pivotal divorce hearing. With a history of domestic violence reports, protective orders, strangulation allegations, and pleas for help that echoed across court filings and social media, the warning signs had been building long before the murders. Yet today, no arrests have been made — and the question of what truly happened remains unanswered.

An 18-month-old baby found dead in her crib. Parents arrested for murder. And a shocking twist: they're directly related to Chad Daybell. In this episode, Lauren breaks down the disturbing case of baby Ruby Murray — a toddler allegedly left alone for days, fed only waffles, lulled to sleep with blasting rock music, and monitored by cameras that reveal just minutes of human contact before her death. As investigators uncover “crib days,” conflicting interviews, and chilling comments like “it was her time,” we explore the psychology behind extreme neglect, the family’s connection to the Daybells, and whether deeper belief systems may have played a role. This is the heartbreaking story of Ruby Marie Murray — and the fight for justice she deserves.

There are cases that shake a community, and then there are cases like this—where a 38-week-pregnant young mother vanishes, her body is later found in the forest, and her unborn baby is simply… gone. In this episode, we dive into the unfolding story of 22-year-old Rebecca Kay Park from Wexford County, Michigan—a full-term mom-to-be whose phone was tossed, and whose inner circle included a fiancé with a violent sexual history, a sister now accused of lying to investigators, and a biological mother and stepfather newly charged with her torture and murder. With court documents alleging a “frankly evil” premeditated attack and a community demanding answers, we walk through the chaotic timeline, the arrests, the search warrants, and the online interference to ask: what really happened to Rebecca—and where is her baby boy?
