October 16, 2023 • 62 mins
Kirk Lankford said he side swiped Masumi Watanabe as she was walking home from the grocery story in April of 2007.

While she was a little banged up from getting swiped by his work truck, witnesses saw Masumi get into his truck on her own. She was never seen again.

Episode 46 – Jersey City, NEW JERSEY Nia Haqq and Michael Muchioki PART 1

April 17, 2023 • 50 mins
Latonia Bellamy had no real reason to kill newly engaged couple Nia Haqq and Michael Muchioki. This so-called “thrill killing” tragically took place in 2010, right after the happy couple’s engagement party. That’s where this case started, but it ended up taking us through more murders, drugs, family ties, and multiple incarcerations. And I thought this would be short one. It definitely is not. This is part 1 of a 2 parts.
