In the early morning hours of July 2007, 19-year-old Brittany McGlone clocked out from her overnight shift at a local store in Wood County, Texas. She was tired but eager to get home and rest. By the afternoon, she was dead—brutally murdered in the home she shared with her boyfriend. The crime was savage, leaving investigators with more questions than answers. Who had entered the house that morning? Why was Brittany the target? And most chillingly—was the killer someone she knew?
For years, the case remained cold, haunting Brittany’s family as leads ran dry. Then, in 2022, a shocking breakthrough—an arrest. Authorities took a suspect into custody, reigniting hope that justice was finally within reach. But just as suddenly, that hope was shattered. The charges were dismissed, leaving Brittany’s family devastated once again.
What really happened to Brittany McGlone that morning? Why was a suspect arrested only for the case to fall apart? And could the killer still be walking free?
Join Arlene and Leah as they unravel the twists and turns of this baffling cold case—where justice remains just out of reach, and the truth is still waiting to be uncovered.
