Nikki Saelee-McCain last contacts her family with a text message just after midnight. She texts with her sister, letting her know that she was driving her mother-in-law’s vehicle back to the McCain home near the Win-River Casino. Later that morning, when Saelee-McCain's family texts her again, she did not respond. It's been more than a month now since anyone has seen or heard from Nikki. Her truck, however, was found abandoned in another county.  Tyler McCain pleaded Not Guilty to a Domestic Violence charge for allegedly beating and torturing his wife for over three hours.  When Nikki didn't show up to court for the domestic violence charges against Tyler McCain, Superior Court Judge Daniel Flyn dismissed the domestic violence-related charges.

Missy Bevers arrives at Creekside Church at 4:16 am and begins setting up for her 5 am fitness class. She doesn't realize that someone else is in the building. Video surveillance shows a person dressed in full police SWAT tactical gear walking through the halls of the church with an unusual gait while clutching a hammer.   Shortly before 5 am, one of Bevers' students arrives, finding Bevers's body inside the church.  Bevers has puncture wounds to her head and chest. The student calls 911. In minutes, police and rescue arrive, and Missy Bevers is pronounced dead on the scene.  Creekside church has surveillance cameras inside and out of their property. Still, in a tough break for cops, the outside cameras don't work. Police rule out Missy Bevers's husband, Brandon, as he was on an annual fishing trip at the time of the murder. However, Missy Bevers's death investigation now includes a vehicle of interest that police say was captured on surveillance cameras at a nearby business just before the murder. It is a 2010-2012 Nissan Altima, silver or light color, with an oval sticker on its bumper.   Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Renee Jones - Missy Bever's Friend and Co-Worker   Dr. Michael Nirenberg  - Podiatrist physician and surgeon - Forensic Podiatrist  Alan Bennett - Former Assistant District Attorney, Partner at Gunter, Bennett, and Anthes Dr. Bethany Marshall – Psychoanalyst (Beverly Hills); X: @DrBethanyLive/ Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall; Appearing in “Paris in Love” on Peacock; BOOK: “Deal Breaker: When to work on a relationship and when to walk away” Tom Smith - Former NYPD Detective, Co-Host of the GOLD SHIELDS Podcast; FB & Instagram: @thegoldshieldshow Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, “Blood Beneath My Feet,” and Host: “Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan;” X: @JoScottForensic Scott Brooks- President & Publisher for the Waxahachie Sun; @ Sun Spot Live; @WaxSun See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At 17, Jennifer Wix welcomes her daughter, Adrianna Nicole. With support from her family, Jennifer finishes high school while raising the baby girl she lovingly nicknames Nina. At 19, Jennifer begins working nights and meets Joey Benton. They move in together at his parents’ home. In late March, Jennifer suddenly stops contacting her family. She usually speaks with her mother at least once a day and frequently stays in touch with other relatives. Adrianna, 2, had been sick all week. After two days without contact, Jennifer’s family reports her missing. The Robertson County Sheriff's Office begins its investigation at the home Jennifer shares with her boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his parents, Joe and Cynthia Benton. Nothing appears out of place on the property, and foot searches reveal no sign of Jennifer or Adrianna. Deputies follow up on several possible sightings of the mother and daughter, but the sightings either can’t be verified or are determined to be someone else.

Albert Musalo and his wife, Joan Behrman, are enjoying retirement in Nevada. They moved close to their daughter, Joanne Kohls, and her family, settling in the exclusive gated Montreux neighborhood in a rural area south of Reno. While the country club community boasts multi-million-dollar homes, the Musalos chose one of the more modest houses on the block. Joanne Kohls calls the Musalos’ landline, but the phone rings with no answer. She contacts Montreux’s security to check on them. The guard reports that no one answered his knocking. Joanne and her husband decide to check on her parents themselves. Joanne unlocks the front door and calls out for her parents. She steps inside but freezes. Mud is tracked through the entryway and dining room. Joanne’s husband walks toward the primary bedroom and discovers Joan and Albert shot to death in their bed. Detectives from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office quickly arrive at the scene. There are no signs of forced entry, and nothing of value appears to be missing. Montreux's HOA fees cover an extensive security team. A guard staffs the neighborhood’s front gatehouse 24/7, 365 days a year, while a service entrance is manned 12 hours daily. All visitors must provide identification and receive homeowner approval for access. Even contract workers must obtain daily entrance passes. Investigators initially suspect the Musalos were targeted, but no one can explain why.
