A young biotech worker is found dead in his La Jolla apartment, his body carefully laid out on a bed sprinkled with rose petals and framed by a wedding photo. His wife—an ambitious county toxicologist with access to some of the most powerful drugs in the world—tells police it was suicide. Investigators aren’t so sure.

In this episode, we unpack the chilling “American Beauty” murder of Gregory de Villers and the calculated actions of his wife, Kristin Rossum. We trace their relationship from whirlwind romance to toxic spiral, exploring Kristin’s hidden meth addiction, her affair with a supervisor at the medical examiner’s office, and the missing fentanyl that would become the centerpiece of a murder trial.

You’ll hear how forensic toxicology transformed a suspicious overdose into a first-degree murder case, why prosecutors called fentanyl “the perfect poison,” and how a crime scene staged to look cinematic instead exposed a killer who thought she was smarter than the system. We also dive into the courtroom drama, the life sentence, the multimillion-dollar civil judgment, and the lasting questions this case raises about trust, power, and access inside forensic labs.

If you’re drawn to evidence-driven true crime, complex relationship dynamics, and the intersection of science and deception, this deep dive into the rose petal murder will stay with you long after the episode ends.

In December 2020, 21-year-old Texas State University student Jason Landry left San Marcos, Texas, headed home to Missouri City for Christmas break. He never made it.

Just after midnight, Jason’s wrecked Nissan Altima was found on a rural gravel road near Luling, Texas, with the lights on, the keys in the ignition, and Jason nowhere in sight. His phone, wallet, backpack, and clothing were later found in or near the crash scene—but Jason had vanished into the cold Texas night.

In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we take a deep dive into the mysterious disappearance of Jason Landry, the timeline of his final known drive, the strange evidence found on Salt Flat Road, the search efforts by law enforcement and volunteers, the geofence warrant, the theories surrounding whether Jason was alone, and the painful questions his family still faces more than five years later.

Was Jason disoriented after the crash and lost in the rural Texas landscape? Did someone come across him after the accident? Or is the answer still hidden somewhere along the dark backroads of Caldwell County?

In the early hours of July 31, 2022, a 2018 Toyota Camry slammed into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio at nearly 100 mph. Two young men — Dominic Russo (20) and Davion Flanagan (19) — were killed instantly. The driver, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla, survived. What followed was one of Ohio’s most disturbing true crime cases of the decade.

In this deep-dive episode, we examine every angle of the Mackenzie Shirilla case: the toxic on-again, off-again relationship with Dominic Russo, the chilling vehicle black box data showing full acceleration with no braking, the dramatic bench trial, and the judge’s scathing “literal hell on wheels” verdict. Mackenzie has always maintained it was either an accident or a medical emergency — but prosecutors argued it was intentional murder-suicide.

Now, Netflix’s explosive 2026 documentary has brought renewed attention and fresh debate to the case. We break down the evidence, the families’ statements, Shirilla’s prison interview, and the bigger questions about teenage rage, accountability, and justice.

If you’re a fan of true crime stories involving cars as weapons, murder-suicide cases, or intense courtroom drama like the Gabby Petito case or the Delphi Murders, this episode will hit hard.

Content Warning: This episode discusses murder, suicide, and domestic violence.
