Joe Hunter's Mission (from "48 Hours")
When Joanna Hunter died in her home in 2011, it took the cops less than 30 minutes to rule the death a suicide. Mostly because her husband said that that's what happened. No crime scene was preserved and no investigation was done. The case was closed, but Joanna's family never accepted the suicide ruling. They knew all too well about the years of abuse Joanna had suffered at the hands of her husband and all of the times she tried to leave him. Her brother Joe, who was Joanna's best friend,...

The Body in the Sand (from "Naming the Dead")
The body of an unidentified young woman was found in the Arizona desert in August 1992.

The Dali Heist (from "True Crime Story: Smugshot")
WAIT, THERE'S AN ORIGINAL DALI PAINTING HANGING IN RIKERS ISLAND?!?! Well... there was, anyway. Dali was supposed to pay a visit to the prison in 1965, but instead of showing up, gave them the hastily made painting that he called "Christ on the cross" (a good swear, as anyone familiar with Long Island mothers of a certain stripe will tell you!).

And even after she recovered from it the first time and she and her husband Rusty were warned that it would be worse if they had any more kids, they went ahead and had their fifth.

Andrea Yates: The Cult Behind the Killer Part 1
On June 20, 2001, 36-year-old Andrea Yates did the unthinkable when she drowned her five children in the bathtub of her family home. For decades, that was all anyone knew. We called her crazy, evil, unforgivable. We couldn't imagine how it could have happened.

Hunting Phil Spector (from "Homicide: Los Angeles")

Spector claimed that a woman had come into his home and then killed herself in his foyer. If that sounds insane, it's because it is and it is DEFINITELY not what happened. The woman's name was Lana Clarkson AND SHE WAS FREAKING AWESOME. Of course the trial was a circus. SPECTOR WORE WIGS FOR DAYS. Oh and Alan Jackson from the Karen...

Satan Wants You

The book was based on years of "therapy sessions" in which Michelle was regressed to her childhood and allegedly uncovered memories of horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of a Satanic Cult. Evidence in the documentary suggests that this likely... didn't...

Like, in the most secure country in the world, surrounded at all times by a team of private bodyguards, how could this have happened? Welp, turns out, there's lots of ways. Was it the Russian mafia who was, like, mad, because, like mafia? Was it his private American nurse who'd been looking for a payout? Was it his wife who...
