In the fall of 1980, 13-year-old Darlene Tilley was playing softball with some friends in Durham when she began feeling ill. She headed off on the short walk home, refusing a friend's attempt to accompany her, and disappeared that afternoon. Two months later, hunters found her deceased body in a thicket of woods, and the case went cold. While there isn't a lot of information publicly available on Darlene's murder investigation, investigators zeroed in on a person of interest in the early 2000s, and are still seeking information that may help solve this cold case.

While there, he met a young woman named Cheryl Henry and the two began dating. When they didn't return home after a night out, their family members grew worried. They were discovered murdered the next day in a secluded area known for being a Lovers Lane. Investigators wondered if the murders were related to a series of other crimes that had taken place within the vicinity.

In the summer of 2004, Vince Gilmer, a physician in Western North Carolina, murdered his 60-year-old father and left his body on the side of a country road in Virginia. When Dr. Benjamin Gilmer (no relation) arrived at Vince's former clinic to accept a new job, he began hearing stories about the former Dr. Gilmer. The now-incarcerated country doctor didn't seem like the type who would have committed a violent crime, especially against a family member, and Benjamin had questions. He shared what he learned about what was really ailing Vince Gilmer on NPR and a book he published in 2024. Renee shares Vince's medical diagnosis and where he is today.
