In December 1996, French television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier traveled alone to her remote holiday home on the windswept Mizen Head peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, a place she loved for its isolation and beauty. Two days before Christmas, her battered body was found on the lane outside her cottage, beaten so severely that the quiet farming community around Schull could scarcely comprehend it. She had come to Ireland for a few days of peace before the holidays, and instead became the victim of a crime that would haunt the country for decades. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Sophie, the elegant and private Parisian who found refuge on the rugged Irish coast, the glamorous but demanding life she led back in France, and the brutal winter night that turned her beloved sanctuary into one of Ireland's most infamous crime scenes.

In the days after two of his acquaintances went missing in Costa Mesa, California, Dan Wozniak played the part of the grieving friend to perfection, comforting others while concealing a monstrous secret. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation that slowly stripped away the aspiring actor's performance, from suspicious ATM withdrawals and staged text messages to the gruesome truth about what he had done and how far he had gone to cover it up. As detectives closed in, Wozniak's carefully rehearsed innocence gave way to a chilling confession, and a courtroom drama that revealed just how coldly he had orchestrated it all.

Rather than face the truth, he began to lie, manipulate, and scheme, building a fantasy of the life he wanted on a foundation of deception. In the spring of 2010, that spiral of debt and delusion set the stage for an unthinkable crime. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Wozniak's troubled path from aspiring theater star to desperate con man, the toxic relationships and mounting pressures that surrounded him, and the calculated plan that would soon leave two innocent people dead.

Michael Swango was a charming, ambitious young doctor who seemed destined for a successful medical career when he began his residency in Ohio in the early 1980s. But wherever he worked, patients who should have recovered began dying without explanation, and colleagues who fell ill after eating food he brought them narrowly survived. For years, hospitals and medical boards across the United States and eventually as far as Zimbabwe passed him along rather than confront the mounting suspicions, allowing him to keep practicing and leaving a trail of poisoned patients in his wake. By the time authorities finally caught up with him, he may have been responsible for dozens of deaths. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the case of Michael Swango, the institutions that trusted him long after the warning signs appeared, and the chilling question of how a man sworn to heal was able to kill for so long while hiding in plain sight.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the century-long investigation into the Hinterkaifeck murders, one of the most baffling cold cases in European history. From the moment the six bodies were discovered, the case defied explanation. The killer had apparently stayed on the farm for days after the murders, feeding the animals and lighting the stove while the victims lay dead. Investigators chased down hundreds of suspects over the decades, from estranged family members to neighbors to passing strangers, but no theory ever held. More than a hundred years later, the case remains officially unsolved, its evidence long gone and its witnesses long dead. Carter Roy examines the strongest suspects, the unsettling theories that endure, and the reasons this quiet Bavarian farm still haunts the imagination a century after the killings.

In 1922, six members of the same family were found murdered on their isolated farmstead in the Bavarian countryside, killed one by one with a pickaxe. In the days before their deaths, the family had noticed strange and frightening signs: footprints in the snow, footsteps in the attic, and the unshakable feeling that someone was watching them. But they never made it out alive, and their killer was never caught. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the family at the center of one of Europe's most haunting unsolved mysteries, the eerie warnings that preceded the massacre, and the quiet farm that became the scene of an unthinkable crime.

In August 2017, Swedish journalist Kim Wall boarded a homemade submarine in Copenhagen to interview its inventor, Danish entrepreneur Peter Madsen, for a story. It was supposed to be a routine assignment, the kind of work she had done all over the world. She never came back. When the submarine sank the next day and Madsen was rescued alone, he claimed he had dropped Wall off safely on shore the night before. But his story kept changing, her body was found dismembered in the waters off Copenhagen, and the investigation that followed exposed a calculated and deeply disturbing crime. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the death of Kim Wall, a talented young reporter whose curiosity took her into a killer's confined world, the shifting lies her murderer told to cover his tracks, and the chilling portrait of ego and control that emerged once the truth came to light.

In September 2022, veteran Las Vegas journalist Jeff German was found stabbed to death outside his home, killed in a brutal attack just days before he was set to receive records he had requested about a disgraced local official. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation into German's murder, the surveillance footage of a disguised killer that horrified his colleagues, and the distinctive maroon SUV that pointed straight back to Robert Telles. As DNA evidence sealed the case, Telles clung to an elaborate conspiracy theory, insisting he had been framed. What followed was a standoff, a high-profile trial, and a guilty verdict in one of the rare cases of an American journalist murdered for his reporting, a killing that made Jeff German's legacy as a truth-teller more powerful than ever.

For nearly 45 years, Jeff German was one of the most respected investigative journalists in Las Vegas, exposing organized crime, political corruption, and the people who thought they were untouchable. In the spring of 2022, he turned his attention to a low-level elected official named Robert Telles, whose office was plagued by allegations of bullying, favoritism, and an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. German's reporting ended Telles's political career, but it also made him a target for a man who refused to take responsibility for his own downfall. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Telles's rise through Las Vegas politics, the pattern of misconduct that followed him from job to job, and the bombshell exposé that set a disgraced official on a collision course with the reporter who brought him down.

What the audience didn't know was that the contestant lighting up their screens was already a serial killer. For years, Alcala had used his camera to lure women and children, charming them with compliments and the promise of a modeling shoot before turning violent. He slipped through the system again and again, serving short sentences and talking his way past parole boards while leaving a trail of victims across California and New York. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the chilling double life of the Dating Game Killer, the manipulation and missed chances that let him keep killing for years, and the disturbing collection of photographs he left behind.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the decades-long hunt for the killer behind the Colonial Parkway Murders. For years, the four cases went nowhere, plagued by jurisdictional turf wars, false leads, and a string of suspects who turned out to be dead ends, including two men who inserted themselves into the families' grief only to exploit it. Refusing to let the case die, the victims' families applied relentless public pressure on the FBI and Virginia State Police. Then the same genetic genealogy breakthrough that caught the Golden State Killer gave investigators a new path forward, leading at last to a name. But the answers came late and incomplete, with some families finally learning who killed their loved ones and others still waiting, decades later, for any resolution at all.

Between 1986 and 1989, four young couples were murdered or vanished along the same 23-mile stretch of road in Virginia known as the Colonial Parkway. A scenic route through the state's Historic Triangle by day, the parkway became a place of terror by night, drawing couples seeking privacy and a killer who seemed to know exactly where to find them. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 27, and the cases shared eerie similarities: abandoned cars, isolated locations, and signs that the attacker may have posed as law enforcement to get close. But the differences left investigators wondering whether they were chasing one serial killer or several. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the eight young victims, the dark and lonely road that connected their deaths, and the chilling pattern that left an entire region afraid to pull off the highway after dark.

But the murder was only the beginning of the story, because almost nothing about this online love triangle was real, and the truth about who Jessi actually was would stun everyone involved. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy is joined by Sabrina Deana-Roga, host of Crimes of Reddit, to trace one of the earliest and most infamous catfishing cases in American history, the layers of deception that fueled it, and the innocent man who paid the price for a fantasy built entirely on lies.

In rural Missouri, Ray and Faye Copeland looked like any other elderly farming couple, churchgoing, weathered, and unremarkable to the neighbors who waved at them from the road. But behind that ordinary facade was one of the most disturbing operations in American criminal history. The Copelands hired drifters and transient men to help on their farm, used them to write bad checks for cattle, and then murdered them to cover their tracks. By the time investigators uncovered the truth, they had found the bodies of five men buried on and around the property, and Ray and Faye, both in their seventies, became the oldest couple ever sentenced to death in the United States. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the case that shattered every assumption about who is capable of violence, the victims no one came looking for, and the quiet farm where a seemingly harmless old couple hid a killing operation in plain sight.

By the spring of 1934, the small colony of European settlers on the Galapagos island of Floreana was tearing itself apart. A relentless drought had withered the crops, the self-proclaimed Baroness was abusing her companions, and the tiny island had become a pressure cooker of resentment, jealousy, and fear. Then people started to vanish. The Baroness and one of her lovers disappeared overnight, and the story given by the remaining settlers didn't match what the others claimed to have heard that day. Months later, two more bodies turned up mummified on a barren island they had no business being on, and a strict vegetarian doctor was suddenly dead from a few bites of spoiled chicken. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to follow the chain of deaths and disappearances that destroyed the Floreana colony, the wildly conflicting accounts the survivors took to their graves, and one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.

In 1929, a German doctor named Friedrich Ritter and his partner, Dore Strauch, sailed to the uninhabited island of Floreana in the Galapagos to escape what they believed was the worst of human nature. For two years, they had the place to themselves. Then, drawn by Friedrich's articles in the European press, other settlers began to follow. A practical German family arrived in 1932, then a self-styled Austrian Baroness with two younger lovers, who declared the island her personal kingdom and announced plans for a luxury hotel. Within months, the tiny colony was buckling under jealousy, accusations, and the kind of grudges that have nowhere to go on an island just a few miles wide. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to trace the rise of the so-called paradise, the strange settlers who built it, and the slow unraveling that would soon turn the Enchanted Islands into one of the strangest unsolved cases of the 20th century.

On the morning of December 26th, 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family's home in Boulder, Colorado. A long, strange ransom note had been left on the back stairs, written on paper from inside the house. What followed was one of the most chaotic investigations in modern American history. The crime scene was contaminated within hours, the press declared the family guilty before anyone was charged, and detectives clashed bitterly with prosecutors over who to focus on. Nearly three decades later, no one has ever been convicted of killing JonBenét. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most polarizing unsolved cases in American history, the investigative missteps that haunted it from day one, and the question that still divides the public: was JonBenét killed by an intruder, or by someone she knew?

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation, trial, and decades-long legal battle that came to define the murder of Marilyn Sheppard. Within days of her death, the Cleveland press had turned her husband into a public villain, with newspapers openly calling for his arrest and conviction before any charges were filed. The trial that followed was a spectacle, and when the verdict came down, almost no one was surprised. But that was only the beginning. What followed was years of appeals, a Supreme Court decision that would reshape how American courts handle media influence, and a second trial that left the country more divided than ever. More than seventy years later, the question of who really killed Marilyn Sheppard has never been fully answered.

Her husband, prominent osteopathic surgeon Sam Sheppard, claimed a bushy-haired intruder had knocked him unconscious before killing his wife. But his story had gaps, his marriage had secrets, and within hours, the man who called for help became the prime suspect. The case would soon become a national obsession and reportedly serve as the loose inspiration for the hit television series The Fugitive. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Marilyn, the years of affairs and broken promises that defined her marriage, and the night her quiet Ohio home became one of the most infamous crime scenes in American history.

On the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich.On the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich. Her body was found the next morning under a pine tree in her own yard, the broken club nearby traced back to a set owned by her neighbors, the Skakels, a family related by marriage to the Kennedys. Despite the obvious lead, the case went cold for decades. Witnesses changed their stories, evidence was lost, and the family at the center of the investigation continued to live their lives. It took 25 years, a true crime book, and a tenacious investigator to finally bring charges. Even then, the conviction that followed would eventually be overturned, leaving the case in legal limbo. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most notorious cold cases in American history, the wealth and influence that shielded a family from scrutiny, and the question that still divides Greenwich today: who really killed Martha Moxley?

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the final months of one of California's most disturbing crime sprees. By 1928, 21-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott had killed at least three boys on his chicken ranch outside Los Angeles, with the help of his teenage nephew and his own mother. But when Northcott's niece traveled from Canada to check on her younger brother, she saw enough to know something was very wrong. What she did next would unravel everything. The investigation that followed uncovered shallow graves beneath the chicken coops, an international manhunt, and a courtroom reckoning that exposed a family who had protected a killer for years.

In 1926, 19-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott convinced his parents to buy him three acres of barren land outside Los Angeles. He told them he was going to raise chickens. What he really wanted was a place far from the city where no one would hear what he did to the boys he brought there. Over the next few years, Northcott lured young victims to the property with the help of his teenage nephew, who he had taken from Canada under the guise of teaching him the family trade. Behind the chicken coops, he built one of the most disturbing crime scenes in California history. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Northcott's path from a deeply troubled childhood in a household ruled by his mother's obsession and his father's silence to the desolate stretch of desert where his violence would soon spiral out of control.

In the fall of 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol capsules that had been laced with cyanide. The victims ranged from a 12-year-old girl to a young mother who had just given birth. None of them knew each other, and none of them had any idea what was in the bottles sitting in their medicine cabinets. The killings triggered a nationwide panic, transformed how every over-the-counter medication is packaged, and gave rise to the term "product tampering" as a federal crime. But more than four decades later, no one has ever been charged with the murders. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most chilling unsolved cases in American history, the suspects who came and went over the years, and the question that still haunts investigators: who walked into those stores, and why did they choose Tylenol?

From the very beginning, the case was a mess. Two counties fought over jurisdiction, the crime scene was overrun by sightseers stripping bark from the crabapple tree, and an eccentric local woman known as "the Pig Woman" came forward claiming she had seen everything. Suspicion landed on Edward's wealthy widow, Frances Hall, and her two brothers, but bringing them to justice would prove far more difficult than anyone expected. What followed was years of dead ends, a tabloid bombshell that forced the case back open, and one of the most sensational trials of the Jazz Age.

Their torn-up love letters had been scattered around them like a verdict. Edward Hall was the most respected minister in town, and Eleanor Mills was one of his most devoted parishioners. The affair between them had been the worst-kept secret in the congregation for years, ignored by neighbors and tolerated by spouses, until someone decided it was time to end it. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the years-long affair that divided a small New Jersey community, the two very different marriages it tore apart, and the final days before two lovers met whoever was waiting under that tree.

In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits the only unsolved skyjacking in American history, the suspects the FBI chased for half a century, and the question that has fueled one of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century: who was D.B. Cooper, and did he actually survive the jump?

Two weeks after Kitty Genovese was killed, the New York Times published a front-page story that claimed 38 of her neighbors had watched her die and done nothing. It was one of the most shocking pieces of journalism of the decade, and it changed everything. The case inspired psychologists to study what they would soon call the Bystander Effect, helped create the nationwide 911 system, and shaped how an entire generation thought about cities, strangers, and human nature. There was just one problem. The story was a lie. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the trial of Kitty's killer, the editor whose career was made by a sensational headline, and the brother who spent decades trying to uncover what really happened the night his sister died, and who actually came to help her.

Kitty Genovese was a 28-year-old bar manager in Queens who told jokes that made the whole room laugh, dreamed of opening her own Italian restaurant, and was quietly in love with a woman named Mary Ann at a time when that alone could get you arrested. She had built a small, good life for herself in 1960s New York, one she had to keep partly hidden from even her own family. On March 13th, 1964, it was taken from her in an attack outside her apartment building that would soon become one of the most famous crime stories in American history. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces us to the real Kitty, the people who loved her, and the brutal final hours of her life.

Think about the last time an AMBER Alert lit up your phone, or the last time you heard a Code Adam announcement at Walmart. All of it traces back to one crime and one father who refused to let his son's death be the end of the story. In 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears in Hollywood, Florida. The investigation was a disaster, but his father, John Walsh, took that failure and built an entire national system for finding missing children. Because of him, hundreds of thousands of kids have come home.

In 2006, a 27-year-old Ohio State medical student named Brian Shaffer walked into a crowded Columbus bar to celebrate the end of finals with friends and vanished without a trace. Surveillance cameras captured him entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona but never showed him leaving. His mother had died of cancer just weeks earlier, he had a vacation flight booked for Monday, and in the days before he disappeared, he had swung between asking his girlfriend to elope and telling her to move on without him. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the baffling disappearance of Brian Shaffer, the suspicious friend who lawyered up, and the phone that rang again five months later from somewhere no one expected.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation into the 1981 Wonderland murders in Los Angeles. Four people were bludgeoned to death in a Laurel Canyon townhouse, and a fifth barely survived with severe brain damage. Detectives had bloody palmprints, a long list of suspects, and a trail that led straight to nightclub owner Eddie Nash and former pornstar John Holmes. But fractured loyalties, shifting stories, and the tangled world of drugs and celebrity made building a case nearly impossible. It took two decades, multiple trials, and a legal battle that stretched the limits of the justice system before anyone was held accountable, and even then, the full truth remained just out of reach.

In the summer of 1981, a group of drug dealers known as the Wonderland Gang were living in a townhouse in LA's Laurel Canyon, broke, desperate, and with a contract already out on their heads. Their solution was to rob Eddie Nash, one of the most powerful and dangerous nightclub owners in Los Angeles, with the help of a washed-up pornstar who was in debt to both sides. The heist netted $100,000 in cash, drugs, and jewelry. Two days later, a group of men armed with hammers and lead pipes showed up at the townhouse at 4 AM. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the Wonderland Gang, the robbery that sealed their fate, and the savage act of revenge that left four people dead and a fifth clinging to life.

In 1973, a 7-year-old girl was taken from her tent at a Montana campsite while her family slept. The FBI had no evidence, no witnesses, and no leads, but two agents in a basement at Quantico thought they could describe the killer based on the crime scene alone. What they built would be tested on some of the most notorious cases in American history, including the Ted Bundy manhunt, the Atlanta child murders, and the hunt for BTK. It also raised a question that still doesn't have a clean answer: can you really look at a crime scene and know who did it?

After murdering two men he knew personally, Andrew killed a wealthy Chicago real estate developer and a New Jersey cemetery worker before driving south to Florida, where he spent two months hiding in plain sight just miles from Gianni Versace's Ocean Drive mansion. On the morning of July 15th, 1997, Gianni stepped out for magazines and coffee. He never made it back through his front door. What followed was a massive manhunt, an eight-day standoff that ended on a houseboat, and a death that left every question about motive unanswered. Andrew Cunanan took his reasons with him, but Gianni's legacy endured through the sister who refused to let it die.

By the mid-1970s, Sal Mineo's Oscar-nominated Hollywood career had collapsed. He was broke, deeply in debt, and sleeping in a rented apartment with rented furniture. But a sold-out stage run in San Francisco had the critics raving again, and a deal to direct his first feature film was finally coming together. On the night of February 12th, 1976, Sal left rehearsal for the LA run of his comeback show, stopped for cupcakes and cigarettes, and pulled into his usual parking spot. He never made it to his front door. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows Sal's fall from teen idol to forgotten star, the brutal stabbing that ended his life at 37, and an investigation derailed by tabloid speculation before the truth finally surfaced.

Before he was a Hollywood star, Sal Mineo was a scrappy kid from the Bronx who couldn't stop getting into fights. His mother enrolled him in dance lessons to keep him out of trouble, and by 11 he was on Broadway. By 15 he was in his first film. By 16, he was reading lines poolside at the Chateau Marmont with James Dean, cast as one of three leads in Rebel Without a Cause. It was the kind of rise that seemed destined to last forever. It didn't. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Sal's path from a tiny apartment above his family's casket business to the brightest lights in Hollywood, and the beginning of a story that would end on a dark Los Angeles street two decades later.

In 1963, a man named Ernesto Miranda confessed to a violent crime in a Phoenix police station, was convicted, and sentenced to decades in prison. Three years later, the Supreme Court threw out his conviction, not because he was innocent, but because of how he'd been questioned. The ruling changed the rules for every police interrogation in America, and what happened to Miranda afterward is one of the strangest stories in criminal justice history. This is episode 1 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy. Four crimes, four failures, and four systems that exist because someone refused to let it happen again. New episodes drop every Monday, and all four are available now, ad-free, on Crime House Plus.

He was called the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, and the Original Night Stalker before anyone realized they were chasing the same man. Over more than a decade, he committed over 100 burglaries, approximately 50 sexual assaults, and 13 murders across California. Then he vanished for 40 years, raising a family in the suburbs while his victims spent decades checking their locks and flinching at unknown calls. He had studied criminal justice and worked as a cop on an anti-burglary unit just miles from the homes he was ransacking. It took a public genealogy database and a tissue in a trash can to finally put a name to the monster. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the full arc of the Golden State Killer, from the first break-ins to the breakthrough that proved no one gets to be gone in the dark forever.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy explains what happened after a 21-year-old British student named Meredith Kercher was found murdered in Perugia, Italy in November 2007. Investigators quickly fixated on her American roommate Amanda Knox. Not because of hard evidence, but because of the way she acted. What followed was a years-long legal battle shaped more by tabloid speculation than forensic fact, while the man convicted of the killing, and Meredith herself, faded from public view.

In November 2006, Abraham Shakespeare won 30 million dollars in the Florida Lottery. He couldn't read or write and had spent most of his life scraping by on odd jobs in Lakeland, Florida, but overnight he became one of the wealthiest men in town. He gave most of it away within two years, paying off mortgages, covering funeral costs, and helping nearly anyone who asked. Then a woman named Dee Dee Moore showed up, promising to protect what was left. Within months, she had his house, his insurance, and his power of attorney. Not long after that, Abe vanished, and the only person who claimed to know where he went was the woman who had taken everything from him. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy is joined by Javier Leiva, host of PRETEND, to uncover the sting operation that cracked the case and explore why they call it the lottery curse.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy and Katie Ring, host of America's Most Infamous Crimes, follow the case against Kaitlin Armstrong in the 2022 murder of rising gravel racing star Mo Wilson. Digital forensics revealed months of obsessive surveillance, but a clerical error let Armstrong walk out of the police station before the murder warrant was ready. Within days, she had sold her Jeep, stolen her sister's passport, and fled to Costa Rica, where she paid cash for plastic surgery and assumed a fake identity. What followed was a 43-day international manhunt, a forensic goldmine hidden in her vehicle's GPS, and a trial that ended with a guilty verdict and a 90-year sentence.
