Starr Harris was a beloved mother of three, living in Drummonds, Tennessee, with her husband, Rick, and their blended family. On June 1, 2010, Starr disappeared from her home after speaking with several people, including employee Rickey Bell, about a dispute over his paycheck. That evening, her stepson found her body in the woods behind the house. Starr had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and strangled, and investigators believed she knew her killer because there were no signs of forced entry.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Starr Harris. Evidence eventually pointed to Rickey Bell, whose DNA was found inside a condom recovered near Starr’s body. Bell was arrested and charged with murder and sexual assault, while his brothers were later accused of attempting to intimidate a witness. At trial, prosecutors argued Bell used a gun-shaped lighter to overpower Starr and forced her into the woods after their argument. The defense suggested another employee could have been responsible.

Bob Lee, the Cash App founder and prominent tech executive, was stabbed to death in San Francisco in April 2023. Investigators focused on Nima Momeni after surveillance showed Lee leaving his sister Khazar’s apartment with him before the two stopped near the Bay Bridge, where Lee was fatally stabbed.

Jack Irwin was a 71-year-old Korean War veteran who lived a quiet, isolated life in a cabin on Mount Baldy, California. In 1999, he befriended Marcia Johnson and Judy Gellert, a couple interested in buying his cabin. The women quickly became close to Jack, eventually moved in with him, and gained access to his finances through a trust that would transfer his assets to them after his death. On September 13, 1999, Jack disappeared after Marcia claimed she dropped him at a train station with $5,000 and a change of clothes for a spontaneous trip to Seattle.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Jack Irwin. His neighbors and longtime friend Sandy Bailey immediately doubted the story, especially after Marcia and Judy stopped cooperating with investigators and began using Jack's money.
