Show notes

#228 - In 2014, a prominent couple from New Jersey was found brutally killed inside their home. They each suffered multiple stab wounds, and the house had been almost burned down to the ground. But after the police wrapped up the investigation, they believed the couple died in a murder-suicide plot. However, those close to the Sheridans disagree they would have done something like this. What does the forensic evidence say happen?

#226 - In 2016, 27-year-old Mirna Salihin met up with a group of friends to grab some coffee - but less than 30 minutes later, she ended up dead after taking a few sips of her drink.

Pelley Family Murders Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

#223 - In 1989, four members of the Pelley family from Indiana were gunned down inside their home. Without any leads or forensic evidence, the police decided they had their suspect: the Pelley family's 17-year-old son, Jeff. And the motive was simple: Jeff murdered his family because he wasn't allowed to go to prom.

Is Jeff Pelley guilty or innocent?
