James “Jimmy” Beaudoin II, was the surrogate son—and alleged lover—of New York’s “jeweler to the stars.” He went from living a mundane life in Florida to being accepted into New York City's social elite over night. But after a night of partying ending in the grisly murder of Joey Comunale, Jimmy faces a much darker future. Then we detail the rape and murder spree of Canadian serial killers Karla Homolka and her husband, Paul Bernardo (AKA the Ken & Barbie Killers). Was Karla brainwashed to kidnap and torture women for Paul's sick fantasy? Or was she more involved then she originally led on?

Death of Caylee Anthony by Casey Anthony and the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg

2 Recommendations

After learning that Casey Anthony (who most likely murdered her daughter) is producing a documentary about Caylee, 2, on the 10th anniversary of her acquittal... we decided we had to cover the case of the mother who reported her daughter "missing" a month after killing her. Then we discuss the death of Ellen Greenberg. She was found stabbed to death in her kitchen, yet it's still debated whether this was a suicide or homicide. (Petition to reopen Ellen's case and Facebook page to show your support!)
