13-year-old Yara Gambirasio went missing in Italy one night after walking to a gym less than half a mile from her house. Her body was found three months later in a field just a few miles away. Investigators found male DNA on her body but couldn’t find a match.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Massimo Bossetti. The police were determined to find Yara's killer, and they began the most extensive DNA testing program in Italian history. It took three years and almost 20,000 DNA samples, but they eventually found Yara’s killer. But, it was the way they did it that makes this case so fascinating. They didn't get a hit from a database. They started with familial DNA and had to wade through the history of an affair that shook multiple families to the core.

Lionel Tate was 12 years old when he was charged with the murder of his six-year-old neighbor Tiffany Eunick. At the age of 14, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder. Lionel said that Tiffany was hurt as they were playing. But, experts testified that her injuries were consistent with someone who had fallen three stories.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the bizarre story of Lionel Tate. Lionel Tate is believed to be one of the youngest Americans, if not the youngest, to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It later came out that Lionel's mother and his defense attorney were instrumental in him declining a plea agreement where he would have served only three years in a juvenile facility. This case reignited the debate on how the criminal justice system should try and sentence juveniles charged with serious crimes.

Charles Albright was adopted at an early age by a husband and wife in Dallas, Texas. His adoptive mother, Delle Albright, was thought by some to be odd, and she was extremely controlling. She also enrolled Charles in a mail-order taxidermy course at a young age. It was during his years honing his taxidermy skills that he displayed a fascination with eyes.

Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about "The Eyeball Killer" Charles Albright. He is thought to have killed at least four women. Charles was known to visit sex workers frequently, and when three of them turned up dead in the early 1990s, police knew they had a serial killer on their hands. This serial killer had a very unique signature in that he removed the eyeballs of his victims from their sockets. The police finally zeroed in on Charles Albright, but the evidence against him was mostly circumstantial.
