On the night of August 21 2022, 28 year old council worker Ashley Dale was at home in Liverpool watching TV with her dog while her boyfriend was out with friends.

For weeks she had been sending voice notes to her friends telling them she had a bad feeling about everything. That her nerves were gone. That she felt like she was constantly looking over her shoulder.

At midnight, gunmen kicked her front door in carrying a Skorpion submachine gun.
They weren't there for Ashley. They were there for her boyfriend - and he wasn't home.

This is the case of Ashley Dale.

A trailer in flames. A babysitter dead under a mattress. A 5-year-old girl gone.

Jacob Kinn didn’t just want a child - he wanted a clean getaway. He manipulated his own girlfriend, Melissa Norby, into a sick kidnapping plot against her best friend’s daughter. But in the world of monsters, there is no honor. Kinn turned on his accomplice and lit a match he thought would erase his past. This is the chilling 24-hour manhunt for a pr*dator who murdered his way to a child.

Adopted into what should have been a safe home… but for Nubia Barahona, it became something far darker.

At just 10 years old, she was found dead in the back of a truck—after months of reported abuse, warning signs, and missed chances to save her.

What really happened behind closed doors - and how was it allowed to continue?

In December 2012, college freshman Jerrod Murray offered his classmate Generro Sanchez $20 for a ride to Walmart. Generro said yes. He had no idea Murray had spent weeks planning to kill someone - just to know what it felt like.

Not rage. Not revenge. No reason at all.

When it was over, Murray flagged down a police car, confessed everything, and told investigators the only thing he regretted was getting caught so quickly.

This is the case of Jerrod Murray.
