A Northern Ireland YouTuber is found guilty of murdering his pregnant girlfriend after staging a six-hour gaming livestream as his alibi — while she watched from home. In California, a 30-year-old father is found dead in his apartment and police arrest his ex-girlfriend and three accomplices across three states in what they're calling a deliberate murder-for-hire.

When a joyful young Filipino mother searching for a better life in America is killed during a South Dakota pheasant hunt, her fiancé insists it was a tragic accident. But as investigators dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing pattern: a violently jealous ex-cop, a secret vasectomy, a hidden affair, and nearly a million dollars in life insurance taken out on the victim just months before her death. What initially looked like a hunting mishap slowly unravels into a chilling story of greed, betrayal, and a man who believed his badge could help him get away with murder.Sources:1. Accident, Suicide or Murder. 2019.2. “Leonila ‘Nila’ De Valle Stickney (1983-2009) - Find a Grave Memorial.” Find a Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108733253/leonila-stickney.
