On May 26, 2025, a 911 call out of Punta Gorda, Florida, sent deputies racing to the Cecil Webb Wildlife Management Area. In the woods, they found a 12-year-old girl bleeding from multiple stab wounds, barely alive.

What happened next left even veteran investigators speechless. The girl survived long enough to whisper who had attacked her—and the name she gave stunned everyone.

Her account of how she escaped is as shocking as it is h...

When 911 operators in Liberty Township picked up the call on April 25, 2024, they heard the frantic voice of someone begging for help. A ten-year-old boy lay unresponsive, and nothing paramedics tried could bring him back.

His name was Dakota Levi Stevens. He was bright, affectionate, and only ten years old — a foster child who had already lived through more than most adults ever will. But what unfolded inside the home where he’d be...

A hotel pool. A father asleep on the steps. A three-year-old drifting silently into the deep end.

By the time anyone realized what was happening, it was already too late. A housekeeper’s desperate screams, frantic attempts to resuscitate, and a shocking refusal to help—all caught the attention of investigators who would later uncover a disturbing history behind the man who was supposed to protect his son.

This week we cover the case ...

A grandmother calls 911 over loud video games—hours later, her son is bleeding from a gunshot wound.

Then, in another state, a teenager bursts out of his home screaming that his father has killed his sister.

Two families, two homes, two stories of violence that no one saw coming.

This week on Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we look at the case of 72-year-old Hazel Benson in Mesa, Arizona—and the chilling murder of 18-year-old...

One of Florida’s most trusted doctors by day… a shadowy figure hiding online by night.

When a 13-year-old girl was found dead in her bathroom, it seemed at first like a tragedy with no clear answers.

The historic Snowden House in Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas, had seen its share of tragedy from the first murders in the town - by 16 year old Travis Lewis. But in March 2020, another emergency call brought deputies racing to the mansion.

At 3:40 a.m. in the quiet town of El Portal, Florida, a 911 call reported a child drowning in a backyard pool. Four-year-old Aria Talathi was pulled from the water and rushed to the hospital, but the autopsy would later reveal something far more disturbing than an accident.

Two 911 calls. Two families. And one gunman who knew exactly who he was looking for.

On a quiet Saturday morning in March 2024, the calm in Levittown, Pennsylvania, was shattered by gunfire, and it started with a stolen car and a ghost gun. Within minutes, three people were dead, including a mother and her 13-year-old daughter.

But this wasn’t random. And this wasn’t over.

In this episode, we follow the manhunt for 26-year-old Andre G...

Just after 3 a.m. on December 31, 1989, Collier Boyle heard the sound of raised voices, followed by two loud thuds, and then nothing. By morning, his mother, Noreen, was missing. His father, John Boyle Jr., claimed she’d left for a trip, but the suitcase she always used was still there, untouched. So was her purse.

Collier asked questions that no one seemed willing to answer. As suspicion grew, so did the weight of what he knew. Eve...

Jacob Williamson thought it was a first date. Instead, it turned out to be the last night of his life.

The 18-year-old had been chatting online with a man named Joshua Newton for weeks. On June 30, 2023, he left a Waffle House parking lot in South Carolina and got into Joshua’s car.
