    Suicide or Setup? The Google Searches That Exposed a Deadly Lie
    Feb 16 2026
    The episode details the criminal investigation into Susan Michelle Perry, a North Carolina woman accused of murdering her husband and staging it as a suicide. While the 2025 death of Robert "Joe" Perry was initially reported by his wife as a self-inflicted gunshot wound, local authorities uncovered incriminating digital evidence that contradicted her story. Forensic analysis of Susan’s Google search history revealed premeditated interests in lethal shooting techniques, the value of her husband's jewelry, and financial concerns regarding a potential divorce. Confronted with these findings, she eventually claimed the weapon discharged during a physical struggle, leading to her arrest for first-degree murder. This case serves as a modern example of how electronic footprints and data transparency can dismantle fabricated narratives in domestic homicide cases. Through police affidavits and court records, the sources examine the collapse of a long-term marriage and the pivotal role technology plays in the pursuit of justice.

  • Family Sues DoorDash After "Unvetted" Driver Kills College Student in Hit-and-Run

    Family Sues DoorDash After "Unvetted" Driver Kills College Student in Hit-and-Run
    Feb 11 2026
    A wrongful death lawsuit against DoorDash highlights a tragic collision that claimed the life of Elsa McGrain, a promising pre-med student killed in a rural hit-and-run. The accused driver, William Ray Klingler, allegedly operated the delivery platform despite a criminal history involving multiple substance-related driving offenses and a suspended license. The legal action asserts that the tech company’s vetting protocols are fundamentally flawed, allowing unauthorized or dangerous individuals to circumvent safety checks through account sharing. While the corporation denies these claims and maintains that the driver was never authorized, the case underscores a critical debate over platform accountability and the human risks of the gig economy. Beyond the courtroom, the victim’s family advocates for bond reform and stricter identity verification to prevent similar tragedies.

    Anita Knutson Was Brutally Stabbed to Death at Home
    Feb 6 2026
    The episode recounts the tragic unsolved homicide of eighteen-year-old Anita Knutson, who was discovered stabbed to death in her Minot, North Dakota, apartment in 2007. Despite the discovery of a murder weapon and a staged crime scene, the investigation stalled for over a decade due to limited forensic evidence and local environmental crises. A significant breakthrough occurred in 2022 when cold case investigators and national media attention led to the arrest of Anita’s former roommate, Nichole Rice. However, a high-profile 2025 trial concluded with an acquittal, leaving the victim's family without legal closure and the case officially cold once again. The narrative highlights the immense difficulty of prosecuting circumstantial cases long after the original crime occurred. Today, the mystery remains a poignant example of justice deferred, as the identity of the killer continues to elude authorities.
