In 1985, police dropped a bomb in a Philadelphia neighborhood. Their target? A family of Black radicals known as ‘MOVE,’ who found themselves ensnared in a city — and nation’s — domestic war on Black Liberation. Over seven episodes, host Matthew Amha investigates the events that culminated in the MOVE bombing, and the long afterlife of a forgotten American tragedy.

All episodes are available ad-free on the CBC True Crime Premium channel.

In September 1992, 14-year-old Misty Copsey goes to the Washington State Fair with her best friend. Misty doesn’t make it home that night, and she is never seen again. Police initially deem her a runaway. Misty’s mom, Diana, insists they are wrong. Five months later, a search party finds a potential clue: a pair of jeans, socks and underwear crumpled along the side of a highway. Diana recognizes the jeans immediately, but the police are skeptical. More than 30 years later, through multiple investigations, no other trace of Misty has ever been found. How does a young girl disappear into thin air?And how could investigators fail to pursue leads that were right under their noses? In this captivating new series from ID, cold case investigator Sarah Cailean works through anonymous tips, interviews with Misty’s family and friends, police records, and media reports in an attempt to get to the bottom of whether Misty’s disappearance is the work of a serial killer or that of someone who knew Misty. Sarah won’t stop until she answers a question that’s haunted western Washington for more than three decades: Who Took Misty Copsey?

In late 2010, a middle-aged man moved into his daughter's college dorm and created what has all the hallmarks of a cult. Over the decade that followed, he extorted millions of dollars from vulnerable young adults through violence, psychological torture, and forced sex work. Actress and Director Elisabeth Rohm narrates Law&Crime's 6-part investigative series, which draws from thousands of pages of transcripts, exhibits, audio files, and video recordings from a federal trial and explores the actions and motives of Larry Ray. This is Law&Crime’s Devil in the Dorm.

The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery is a podcast detailing the horrific and devious crimes committed by Alex Murdaugh, a hotshot personal injury lawyer and heir to a powerful South Carolina legal dynasty. Murdaugh was convicted in 2023 of murdering his own wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in the a sickening culmination to a brazen white-collar fraud scheme run amok.

Prosecutors successfully argued the ruthless killings were Murdaugh's desperate, egregious ploy to avoid impending ruin after stealing over $10 million from his often destitute and disabled clients, along with the partners in his family's namesake law firm.

After a fatal boat crash involving his spoiled son all but assured Murdaugh's treachery would come to light, he concocted a brutal ruse aimed at shielding himself from scrutiny long enough to cover his tracks and preserve his family's legacy — and wealth. In the end, he failed at both.

Join host Anne Emerson, producer Drew Tripp and legal analyst Charlie Condon (former South Carolina Attorney General) as they navigate the complicated legal twists and stunning interpersonal dramas of this saga, which traces back to the turn of the 20th century and continues to develop.

(The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery is a Criminally Obsessed audio original, produced beginning in 2021 in partnership with WCIV-TV ABC News 4 in Charleston.)
