Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

A family vacation at Pennsylvania’s Great Wolf Lodge turns into an unthinkable double homicide when 27-year-old Metallica Rose Harrison allegedly stabs her husband, Charles, and their 3-year-old son, Tristan, to death inside Room 2030 with kitchen knives packed from home. After draining her husband’s 401(k) to stretch their stay into a 22-day trip while their home utility bills went unpaid, Harrison phoned 911 reporting she had killed her family and "needs help dying." Nancy Grace and her panel of forensic and legal experts break down the latest twists in the case, including conflicting forensic reports surrounding the number of stab wounds inflicted on the toddler versus his father, disturbing claims from relatives that Harrison resented her young son and never wanted children, and the discovery of late-night surveillance footage showing the couple at the resort arcade just hours before the bodies were discovered.    Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Mark Astor (Boca Raton, FL) - Former Prosecutor, Criminal Defense Attorney and Behavioral Health Attorney at Astor Simovitch Law.

Hayden Panettiere’s ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko filing urgent court petitions seeking temporary guardianship of their 11‑year‑old daughter Kaya’s inheritance.  He already has sole custody, but he said the suit is an attempt to protect his daughter's inheritance from being lost. He cites missing jewelry, including Hayden's engagement ring, destroyed emails, and other property concerns.  This as we learn Zach Hickerson, the brother of Hayden's ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson, performed CPR on the actress when she was found unresponsive.  A 911 dispatcher then guided him through the emergency response steps until first responders arrived to take over. Hayden Panettiere's death has been ruled an accidental overdose involving fentanyl and several other drugs.   The Greenville County Coroner's office says Hayden Panettiere died from the toxic effect of multiple drugs, fentanyl being number one in her system. Also found, Xanax and Seroquel.   According to this report from the coroner's office, Hayden Panettiere was found face down in a sitting position on the sofa bed, and the description is that she was sitting "crisscross applesauce."  According to Brian Hickerson, this is something she did often, and would lean forward and fall asleep. When they found her, she had already turned deep purple, Hickerson then administered Narcan twice, when that failed to wake her up he instructed his brother, Zach, to call 911, while Brian Hickerson did chest compressions. The report states that Brian Hickerson saw Hayden for the last time as she was applying makeup in the bathroom around 10:30 in the morning, they had a bowl of cereal, he went back to sleep and was woken up by his brother Zach just before 2pm that afternoon. That's when they found Hayden already purple laying on that sofa bed. Investigators reportedly found on the scene blue pressed pills that were on a table right next to Hayden. The pills tested positive for fentanyl. A straw was found next to the pills and a white powder substance was found inside a sunglasses case in her suitcase. This is significant because investigators previously had been looking into whether Hayden Panettiere obtained counterfeit oxycodone pills - that were filled with fentanyl which is what led to her death. One of the newest developments is Brian Hickerson told investigators that Hayden Panettiere had a long history of drug abuse with drugs, alcohol, and nitrous oxide. He even added she had recently been in rehab in Malibu and was just out from that.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sandra Birchmore, 23, found dead in her Canton apartment  February 4, 2021.  Initially, the death was ruled a suicide by asphyxia. Sandra was on the floor, hanging from a duffel bag strap wrapped around a doorknob.  Family, friends, and federal prosecutors contested that finding.  The Medical Examiner later changed the cause of death to "asphyxia" and the manner of death to "undetermined."  Former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell was indicted by federal prosecutors and is currently on trial.  Prosecutors say Farwell groomed Birchmore from the age of  13,  through the Stoughton Police Explorer program. Their sexual relationship began when she was 15. He was 27. Birchmore also had a sexual relationship with Matthew Farwell's twin brother.  Investigators say Birchmore told Matthew Farwell she was pregnant. That, they say lead to Farwell to strangle Birchmore and stage her death to look like a suicide to silence her.   Joining Nancy Grace today: Josh Kolsrud  - criminal defense attorney, former assistant U.S. Attorney, founder of Kolsrud Law Offices, Author:  The Criminal Lawyer's Guide to Immigration Law, website: kolsrudlawoffices.com, Facebook and YouTube @KolsrudLawOffices  Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, featured on the hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock and "The Valley, Persian Style" on Bravo,  Host: "On the Couch with Dr. Bethany Marshall", Website: drbethanymarshall.com, Instagram FB & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter:@DrBethanyLive  David Sarni  - former NYPD detective,  Adjunct Professor John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Instagram: dsonthemedia, TikTok: DS08296, Facebook: David Sarni, LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-sarni-ba002910a  Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue”, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University)  Vanessa Walsh - Host of the podcast, Unmasked True Crime, Facebook and YouTube: UnmaskedTrueCrime, X: CrimeUnmasked  Dave Mack  - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federal authorities, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI, have stepped in to review the controversial 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg. Federal agencies requested and subpoenaed documents and investigative records from the Philadelphia Police Department and other local entities.    Philadelphia's chief medical examiner reaffirmed the manner of death as suicide following an independent autopsy review mandated by a civil settlement, but now federal law enforcement have opened a broader inquiry into how local authorities and the medical examiner handled the investigation.  In the moments before a civil case was to get underway, the family of Ellen Greenberg and Philadelphia officials come to an agreement to reopen the death investigation of the young teacher. The settlement means that after 14 years, the  Philadelphia Medical Examiner's office will reopen and reinvestigate Greenberg's manner of death.  Ellen Greenberg was found stabbed 20 times in the head, back, neck and chest. Then her death was ruled a suicide. The attorney for the Greenberg's, Joseph Padraza, Jr says the settlement includes an agreement that the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct an “expeditious” review of the manner of Greenberg’s 2011 death. The settlement is reached days after Doctor Marlon Osbourne, who conducted the autopsy, as the former assistant medical examiner with the ME's office, signed a sworn verification statement in which he says he now believes Ellen's manner of death should be designated as something other than suicide. Doctor Osbourne initially ruled Ellen Greenberg's death a homicide then changed the ruling to suicide. In a public statement, Doctor Marlon Osbourne said after reviewing additional information in the Ellen Greenberg case file obtained from the Philadelphia Police Department as well as a consult with Doctor Lucy Rorke-Adams, a pediatric neuropathologist, he decided to make the change. In his verification, Osbourne writes that he is now unsure of the series of events that happened that day. He also says he doesn't know "whether the door was forced open as reported; whether Ellen's body was moved by someone else inside the apartment with her at or near the time of her death, and the findings of Lindsey Emery, M.D., from her neuropathological evaluation of Ellen's cervical segment sample."

Hayden Panettiere's death has been ruled an accidental overdose involving fentanyl and several other drugs.   The Greenville County Coroner's office says Hayden Panettiere died from the toxic effect of multiple drugs, fentanyl being number one in her system. Also found, Xanax and Seroquel.   According to this report from the coroner's office, Hayden Panettiere was found face down in a sitting position on the sofa bed, and the description is that she was sitting "crisscross applesauce."  According to Brian Hickerson, this is something she did often, and would lean forward and fall asleep. When they found her, she had already turned deep purple, Hickerson then administered Narcan twice, when that failed to wake her up he instructed his brother, Zach, to call 911, while Brian Hickerson did chest compressions. The report states that Brian Hickerson saw Hayden for the last time as she was applying makeup in the bathroom around 10:30 in the morning, they had a bowl of cereal, he went back to sleep and was woken up by his brother Zach just before 2pm that afternoon. That's when they found Hayden already purple laying on that sofa bed. Investigators reportedly found on the scene blue pressed pills that were on a table right next to Hayden. The pills tested positive for fentanyl. A straw was found next to the pills and a white powder substance was found inside a sunglasses case in her suitcase.

When Mica Miller's body was discovered submerged in Lumber River State Park alongside a gun case and receipt found inside her vehicle, friends and family members immediately questioned local findings that Mica took her own life. Nancy Grace and her expert panel, including Mica's former attorney, Regina Ward, dissect widespread doubts surrounding her death, questioning whether state authorities moved too quickly to dismiss foul play or if Pastor John Paul Miller drove his estranged wife to take her own life. Evidence documents ongoing domestic abuse and coercive control in the Millers' marriage, and a video of a dramatic face-down lawn tantrum shows Miller's true colors as his federal court date approaches. A federal indictment against Pastor John Paul Miller includes felony cyberstalking charges for allegedly subjecting Mica to relentless harassment. Federal prosecutors detail how Miller tracked her vehicle, deflated her tires using specialized tools, interfered with her daily finances, lied to law enforcement, and posted a nude photograph of her online without her consent. Currently walking free on bond under ankle-monitor surveillance while Solid Rock Church is emptied, Miller maintains his innocence despite mounting public outrage, erratic behavior, and reports of dating again shortly after Mica's death. Anyone with information regarding the ongoing federal case against John Paul Miller is urged to contact investigators at (803) 551-4200.

 Found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in an officially ruled suicide, Mica Miller's cause of death is strongly contested by her family, attorney, and close friends, who point to potential whispering on her 911 call, multiple tire-slashing incidents, and a documented history of coercive abuse at the hands of her husband, Pastor John Paul Miller. Nancy Grace and her expert panel break down bizarre viral footage showing John Paul Miller throwing a face-down tantrum in the grass, alongside unsettling clips of Miller smiling and playing the piano immediately after announcing his wife's death. Featuring insights from psychoanalyst Dr. Bethany Marshall, YouTube host Robbie Harvey, and Mica's former attorney Regina Ward, the conversation dives into revelations from the Netflix documentary The Pastor's Wife and questions the thoroughness of the initial death investigation. Pastor John Paul Miller currently faces two federal felony counts of cyberstalking following allegations of extreme harassment, which include calling Mica over 50 times in a single day, tracking her movements, and placing razor blades in her car tires. As the case against him moves toward a federal trial, authorities indicate that the broader investigation remains active and open. Nancy Grace and the panel discuss how Miller's erratic behavior could impact his defense before a federal jury, and if more charges could be coming. Anyone with relevant information should reach out to federal investigators at (803) 551-4200.

Following Lindsay Clancy's mistrial due to a 'hopelessly deadlocked' jury, the jurors who spent 6 weeks listening to complicated testimony, and 6 days trying to reach a decision are speaking out about their experience and deliberation room frustrations. Nancy Grace and her expert panel react to shocking interviews from jurors who admit they still believe Clancy may be guilty, yet voted Clancy was not criminally responsible simply to ensure she received mental health treatment. Nancy and her team unpack this apparent jury nullification, defense attorney Kevin Reddington's public targeting of the lone holdout juror, and whether the prosecution will entertain a potential plea deal. Nancy and her panel also dive into an emerging tragedy in Frankfort, Illinois, where 40-year-old Corie Walsh allegedly strangled her two-year-old son, Barrett, with a cord before inflicting superficial cuts on herself. Despite Walsh's defense attorney insisting any link to Clancy is baseless speculation, the panel exposes chilling parallels: Walsh spent extensive time in online Clancy chatrooms prior to the killing, labeled her toddler the "Antichrist," and executed the attack while her husband was out of town.

Following a deadlocked jury and a declared mistrial in the high-profile trial of Lindsay Clancy, Nancy Grace and her expert panel dive into the fiery fallout surrounding the case. Clancy faced murder charges after strangling her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, with elastic exercise cords inside their home before attempting suicide. While Clancy's defense argued she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and command hallucinations, prosecutors presented detailed evidence of premeditation, including timed route searches and orchestrated errands to keep her husband away. Nancy Grace and her panel analyze the controversial trial aftermath, including defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s public attacks on a single holdout juror, his call for a presidential pardon, and the Commonwealth's anticipated push for a retrial.  A shocking copycat case in Frankfort, Illinois, has also sparked fear of a dangerous ripple effect from the trial's coverage. 40-year-old Corie Walsh, who was heavily active in online Clancy chat rooms, allegedly hanged her two-year-old son, Barrett, while similarly claiming a sudden "psychotic break". Psychoanalyst Dr. Bethany Marshall, forensic investigator Joseph Scott Morgan, and defense attorney Mark Astor join Nancy to debate the weaponization of mental health claims in criminal trials, examine disturbing social media trends surrounding postpartum intrusive thoughts, and break down the grim forensic realities connecting both tragic cases.

Since Nolan Wells' mysterious July 4th disappearance, theories are swirling about what could have happened to the 18-year-old student athlete. With official Jackson County records showing zero accidental drownings off Horn Island in six years, Nancy Grace questions the probability of claims that Nolan simply swam away from the crowds of boats or fell asleep in calm water. Featuring physical oceanographer Dr. Steven DeMarco, Nancy and her panel analyze weather conditions, tides, and water movement from that day, casting serious doubt on the initial riptide narrative. Forensic expert Joseph Scott Morgan also breaks down the body's condition and the perplexing location where Nolan was ultimately discovered two days after disappearing. Now over nine weeks into the investigation, the case remains stalled amid a troubling lack of new details and total radio silence from authorities. Nancy Grace and her expert panel tackle growing frustrations over unexamined key evidence including Nolan's phone, which returned from the island without him and reportedly shows minimal activity, as well as delayed toxicology reports that leave critical questions unanswered. Anyone with information on the death of Nolan Wells is urged to contact the Jackson County Sheriff's department at (228) 769-3063. A $125,000 reward is being offered for details leading to the truth.

In Saratoga Springs, Utah, a 17-year-old girl returns home to find her mother, Jessica Lyman, and her 8-year-old brother, Eli Painter, shot in the head. While young Eli is pronounced dead at the scene, Jessica succumbs to her injuries three days later. A lengthy investigation leads to the arrest of Jessica's 16-year-old son, who currently faces murder charges in juvenile court in connection with the double shooting. Although the teen boy claimed he slept through the attack and subsequent emergency response, authorities uncovered a trail of disturbing evidence. Nancy Grace and her panel of experts break down what investigators found: hostile texts from the teen to his mother, gunshot residue on the clothes he wore that morning, and indoor home surveillance audio capturing three gunshots just minutes after a fierce argument between the mother and son.

Ghislaine Maxwell's latest bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction has been rejected, leaving her 20-year prison sentence in place. The judge called her claims a "complete miscarriage of justice" based on speculation and falsehoods.  Maxwell argued that newly released Justice Department files proved her innocence, but the judge ruled that those documents actually incriminated her further. Legal experts state she has virtually run out of standard legal avenues to challenge her 2002 conviction, leaving her future dependent on the potential for a presidential clemency. Maxwell was transferred from a facility in Tallahassee, Florida, to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On June 19, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA, a park ranger notices a black BMW parked in a restricted area near Independence Mall. Hearing a woman inside the car say, "you're going to hurt me",  the Park Ranger decides to check things out. The driver is identified as Eugene Horsch. The female passenger produced identification bearing the name of Blair Tonzelli. Tonzelli had been reported missing in February 2023 BUT she had not been heard or seen since August 2022. The photo on the ID was the passenger's photo, NOT Tonzelli. Investigators determine the ID is fake. The woman tells investigators that Eugene Horsch gave her the ID.

Ghislaine Maxwell's most recent bid to overturn her 2021 sex‑trafficking conviction and 20‑year sentence, has been denied. The only path to freedom no is a presidential pardon.      Maxwell is serving her sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas. She was moved to the minimum‑security facility last year. Several "scandals" have followed Jeffrey Epstein's closest confidante, claims that she is not eligible to be at Camp Bryan, claims that she is getting special treatment, including claims she has unlimited access to toilet paper.

Karmelo Anthony’s motion for a new trial in the stabbing death of  Austin Metcalf,17,  has been denied.   Anthony, 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison after a jury rejected his self-defense claim.   In the motion for a new trial, Anthony's defense team claimed  the trial was unfair due to: Restrictions on public access to proceedings, citing security concerns, a  “gentleman’s agreement” between prosecutors and defense to suppress potentially damaging character evidence about both Anthony and Metcalf, claims Anthony was coerced into waiving his right to testify because of the agreement, alleged jury instructions that self-defense did not apply if Anthony provoked the altercation.   New allegations and evidence put before the court as prosecutors revealed that Anthony’s ex-girlfriend reported him to school for stalking and sent texts saying he was “lowkey on the verge” and wanted to “stab someone” and “lick the blood off the blade.”   Defense attorneys presented school and phone records showing Metcalf spray-painted racial slurs and phrases like “KKK” and “Heil Hitler.”    The Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas will review the denial.  Anthony’s attorneys,  say they will continue the appeal and pursue all legal remedies.

Police respond to a 911 call in the high society area of the Hamptons at the Montauk Yacht Club shortly after midnight. Martha Nolan-O'Slattarra, a fashion designer from Ireland, is found unresponsive on a boat named "Ripple." The yacht is reportedly owned by insurance mogul Christopher Durnan, 60, who was present at the scene and allegedly ran down the dock screaming for help. The wealthy yacht owner was once accused of fighting and biting a former New York firefighter during a tribute concert, commemorating 20 years after the 9/11 terror attacks. CPR is attempted by a good Samaritan, but first responders pronounce Martha dead at the scene. Initial autopsy results showed no signs of violence.

Madi Brooks, 19, leaves Reggie’s Bar with four young men who offer to give her a ride home. A few blocks from the bar, the driver pulls over and starts to video as the two men in the backseat ‘have sex’ with an extremely intoxicated Brooks. Afterward, Brooks cannot tell the men her address and, according to them, insists on getting out of the car. Just before 3 a.m., a Lyft driver strikes something in the road. It’s Madi Brooks. She dies of her injuries at a hospital. The four men have been charged in this case, three of them with third-degree rape, and one is charged as a principal to third-degree rape, which means he was present for the alleged crime, but did nothing to stop it.  Reportedly,  there are concerns that District Judge Gail Horne Ray will not remain neutral while presiding over the trial of Madison Brooks’ four alleged rapists. Last year, Judge Ray reduced an accused rapist’s bail without allowing prosecutors to argue against the decision. Just last month, Ray moved to overturn a 1972 rape conviction when asked to consider allowing the convict parole. Her son, Nelson Taylor Jr., is also a convicted serial rapist.    Joining Nancy Grace today Ashley Bausteret - Mom of Madison Brooks Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski – Forensic Psychologist, Author: “Dark Sides;” YouTube: Dr. Jeff Kielisze Jarrett Ferentino - Jarrett Ferentino – Homicide Prosecutor; Facebook & Instagram: Jarrett Ferentino; Host: “True Crime Boss” Podcast Bill Hernandez – California Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Detective Kiran Chawla –  Emmy & Murrow Award-winning Investigative Reporter: “Unfiltered with Kiran;” Facebook & YouTube: Unfiltered with Kiran/ Twitter: @Kiran_Chawla23, TikTok: @unfilteredkiran See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roughly seven days Celeste Rivas was killed, according to prosecutors, D4vd posted a single word to social media, "decay."   It's sparked social commentary as many are linking it back to Celeste's death at the hands of David Anthony Burke.  No official court source has identified the tweet as evidence, and so far authorities have not connected it to the case.  During Burke's  preliminary hearing, prosecutors revealed the last text messages between D4vd  and Celeste the day before prosecutors say he dismembered the teen.  Prosecutors allege Burke fatally stabbed her, after an argument over another woman. Rivas reportedly said she would “end your career and your life” and threatened to “leak all of the s–t” if she saw him with her. According to the state, Celeste was killed the next day.     D4vd has pleaded not guilty to charges including first‑degree murder, continual sexual abuse of a child under 14, and mutilation of human remains.    Joining Nancy Grace Tonight: Eric Faddis -   Founder of The Law Offices of Eric Faddis,  former felony prosecutor and current criminal defense and civil litigation attorney; website: EricFaddisLaw.com Dr. Cheryl Arutt - Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist specializing in Trauma Recovery, PTSD and EMDR,  website: askdrcheryl.com,  website: CreativeEMDR.com , IG: @askdrcheryl Steve Fischer  - Missing Persons Private Investigator, Search & Rescue Specialist, Owner of Search Investigations, www.searchinvestigations.org, Twitter: @SF_Investigates Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", YouTube Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", @JoScottForensic Annie Elise - Host of the true crime podcast "SERIALously," website: annieelise.com  Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer Courtney Clenney arrested on charges that she stabbed her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, 27, to death at their Miami high-rise home.   An attorney for Clenney says that the 25-year-old “was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli” and killed him in self-defense. The two had been dating for about two years and lived at the apartment building for several months. Police responded to multiple calls to the apartment, and apartment staff  also noted multiple domestic incidents and tried to evict them.  Friends of the couple said it was unimaginable that Obumseli could have been violent toward Clenney, saying while they had seen Clenney hit Obumseli, they had never seen him hit her. Now, Clenney, pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a deadly weapon in Christian's death.  An autopsy found a single three‑inch‑deep stab wound to the chest that punctured his subclavian artery.  Clenney initially claimed self‑defense, saying she threw a kitchen knife at him from about 10 feet away  Miami police body‑camera footage showed Clenney covered in blood after the attack. Clenney was sentenced to six years in prison and five years of probation, with credit for roughly four years already served.   It's possible she will be released in less than 2 years.      Joining Nancy Grace today:  Mark Astor   - Criminal Defense Attorney at Astor Simovitch Law, Host: 'The Journey by Mark Astor,' Website: mentalhealthaddictionlawfirm.com Dr. Janie Lacy - Licensed Psychotherapist and CEO of Life Counseling Solutions, Author of "How To Heal From A Toxic Relationship: A Guide To Reclaiming Your Mental Health and Happiness", Host of "Let's Talk About It with Janie Lacy” Podcast on YouTube, janielacy.com, Instagram & Facebook: @JanieLacy Robert Crispin -  Private Investigator “Crispin Special Investigations”, Former Federal Task Force Officer for the United States Department of Justice, DEA and Miami Field Division.

Nancy Grace and her expert panel examine the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse accused of strangling her three young children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan. Clancy wrapped exercise bands around the children's necks in their home's basement before slitting her wrists and jumping from a second-story window. The team analyzes the prosecution's argument that Clancy meticulously planned the killings after searching ways to kill online and sending her husband out for takeout food and pharmacy prescriptions, contrasting it with defense claims that she suffered a severe psychotic break triggered by postpartum psychosis and a cocktail of psychiatric medications.

Five people were arrested in the death of actor Mathew Perry. Federal Prosecutors alleged Perry first obtains ketamine from an unscrupulous doctor aiming to take advantage of the actor’s addiction issues. Dr. Salvador Plasencia teaches Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa how to administer the drug, and provides ketamine to both Perry and Iwamasa at exorbitant prices. When the drugs become too expensive, Perry and Iwamasa turn to street dealers   Assistant Kenneth Iwamasa reaches out to several street dealers. Eric Fleming agrees to a deal, and turns to his supplier Jasveen Sangha, dubbed “The Ketamine Queen.”  Fleming pays Sangha for the drugs with cash from Iwamasa.  In two weeks, Sangha provides Fleming and Iwamasa 50 vials of ketamine to distribute to Perry for $11,000. When news of Perry’s death begins to circulate, Sangha texts Fleming, “Delete all of our messages.” Now, Matthew Perry’s sisters, Caitlin and Madeline Morrison, speak out accusing assistant, Kenneth “Kenny” Iwamasa, accusing him of directly causing his death. The sisters described Iwamasa as someone Perry trusted and considered family. Madeline Morrison wrote that Iwamasa “had injected my brother with a lethal dose of ketamine and left him in a hot tub to die”, calling the betrayal “something I never could have conceived.”  Caitlin Morrison echoed the sentiments, stating she could not determine if the lethal ketamine dose was accidental, but she knew Iwamasa was either “escaping from something he knew he had done” or “willfully abandoning a vulnerable person in a dangerous situation” when he left Perry.     Kenneth “Kenny” Iwamasa  was sentenced on May 27, 2026 to 3 years and 5 months in federal prison and received a $10,000 fine. He was ordered to serve two years of supervised release after his prison term. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Lindsay Clancy’s third child is born, her recovery seems to be different.   The 32-year-old reaches out to her parents and her in-laws to help her manage the children and things around the home. Her husband, Patrick Clancy sets up a home office in the basement to work remotely, so he can be on hand to help. When Lindsay starts to have thoughts of suicide, and worse, hurting the children, she checks herself into the McLean Psychiatric Hospital,  Five days after checking into a psychiatric hospital Lindsay Clancy is reportedly told she doesn't have postpartum depression. Husband Patrick Clancy tells friends that after her hospital stay, Lindsay seems to be getting better. She is sleeping better, interacting with friends and family, and going out in public without any difficulty. When Patrick Clancy asks his wife if she is having any suicidal thoughts, Lindsay Clancy says "No."    Later on in the year, with his wife having been prescribed at least 13 different medications, Patrick Clancy texts a friend saying he’s concerned that Lindsey has been prescribed too many medications. Patrick allegedly told friends that he worried she was suffering “the worst side effects possible” from one of her prescriptions. He says he thinks she is going through benzodiazepine withdrawal.    On a Tuesday afternoon Lindsay Clancy sends a text to her husband to pick up takeout.  As Patrick Clancy leaves to pick up dinner, Lindsay sends him a text to stop off by the drugstore and pick up some medicine for the children.   Patrick Clancy stops by the drug store to pick up the medication but gets confused as to exactly which medicine to buy. He calls Lindsay Clancy on the phone, but she doesn't answer. She calls back a minute later. Patrick says she sounded like she was in the middle of something. Lindsay answers his question about the medication and Patrick picks it up and heads to  3V to get their dinner.  When Patrick Clancy comes home, he’s met with silence. He finds his wife in the backyard. She had jumped out of a second-floor window after slitting her wrists. The children are in the basement,  strangled, an exercise band still wound around their necks.   Investigators revealed in court papers that Lindsay Clancy allegedly researched "ways to kill" before the deaths of her three children.    Now Lindsay Clancy,  paralyzed after her second-floor fall, is on trial for three counts each of murder and strangulation.  The trial has been emotional so far. Ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, served as the state's first witness.

Colt Gray, 14, opens fire at his Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. He fatally shot four people and injured several others.  The FBI first investigated Colt Gray in May 2023 after receiving a tip about a school shooting threat via Discord, a gaming chat platform. Father Colin Gray told investigators he had been teaching his son about "firearms and safety" and how to hunt. He stated that if his son had made any threats, he "would be mad as hell and then all the guns would be taken away." Colt denied making threats. After the investigation, Colin Gray purchased his son an AR-15-style rifle as a gift.    Colt Gray smuggled the rifle into school inside his backpack and opened fire in a math classroom and a hallway.    There were four  fatalities: two 14-year-old-students,- Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo alongside teachers Richard Aspinwall  and Cristina Irimie. Eleven people were injured.   Evidence presented during h trial revealed that Gray deliberately planned the attack for months to achieve internet notoriety. Prosecutors showed that he was heavily active in an online "true crime community" and deeply obsessed with previous mass murderers, specifically Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz. His electronic devices contained thousands of photos of Cruz.    Gray pleaded guilty to all 55 criminal charges against him, including four counts of malice murder.   During his sentencing hearing, Gray laughed out loud during on of his surviving victim's impact statements.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Sonya Turner - Mom of two Apalachee High School students Chris Hubbard - Father of school age children.

When Lindsay Clancy’s third child is born, her recovery seems to be different.   The 32-year-old reaches out to her parents and her in-laws to help her manage the children and things around the home. Her husband, Patrick Clancy sets up a home office in the basement to work remotely, so he can be on hand to help. When Lindsay starts to have thoughts of suicide, and worse, hurting the children, she checks herself into the McLean Psychiatric Hospital,  Five days after checking into a psychiatric hospital Lindsay Clancy is reportedly told she doesn't have postpartum depression. Husband Patrick Clancy tells friends that after her hospital stay, Lindsay seems to be getting better. She is sleeping better, interacting with friends and family, and going out in public without any difficulty. When Patrick Clancy asks his wife if she is having any suicidal thoughts, Lindsay Clancy says "No."    Later on in the year, with his wife having been prescribed at least 13 different medications, Patrick Clancy texts a friend saying he’s concerned that Lindsey has been prescribed too many medications. Patrick allegedly told friends that he worried she was suffering “the worst side effects possible” from one of her prescriptions. He says he thinks she is going through benzodiazepine withdrawal.    On a Tuesday afternoon Lindsay Clancy sends a text to her husband to pick up takeout.  As Patrick Clancy leaves to pick up dinner, Lindsay sends him a text to stop off by the drugstore and pick up some medicine for the children.   Patrick Clancy stops by the drug store to pick up the medication but gets confused as to exactly which medicine to buy. He calls Lindsay Clancy on the phone, but she doesn't answer. She calls back a minute later. Patrick says she sounded like she was in the middle of something. Lindsay answers his question about the medication and Patrick picks it up and heads to the 3V to get their dinner.  When Patrick Clancy comes home, he’s met with silence. He finds his wife in the backyard. She had jumped out of a second-floor window after slitting her wrists. The children are in the basement,  strangled, an exercise band still wound around their necks.   Investigators revealed in court papers that Lindsay Clancy allegedly researched "ways to kill" before the deaths of her three children.    Now Lindsay Clancy,  paralyzed after her second-floor fall, is on trial for three counts each of murder and strangulation.    Joining Nancy Grace today: Eric Faddis -  Founder of The Law Offices of Eric Faddis,    former felony prosecutor and current criminal defense and civil litigation attorney; website: EricFaddisLaw.com  Dr. Catherine Birndorf  -  psychiatrist and postpartum expert   Brian Bennett  - Fmr Police Officer at Columbia, SC Police Dept., Owner of Clearview Justice Training & Consulting - Specializing in strangulation assaults, domestic violence   Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of the Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue", Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University)  Kristina Rex  - Reporter, WBZ-TV, @KRISTINAREXTV (IG & TIKTOK) @KRISTINAREX (X) KRISTINA REX (FB)   Dave Mack -  Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karmelo Anthony convicted in just three hours for the shocking murder of 17-year-old standout student and football star Austin Metcalf at what was supposed to be an ordinary track meet in Frisco, Texas. It escalated into a horrific tragedy when a simple dispute over a team tent during a rain delay ended with Metcalf being stabbed in the chest. Now, hearings are set for August, just six weeks after Anthony was sentenced to prison. He has a new team of lawyers filing motions for a new trial.  Among the issues, attorney say the original trial was effectively closed to the public,  jury instructions were misleading regarding self-defense, Judge John Roach publicly defended the verdict to reporters, and prosecutors did not honor an off-the-record evidentiary agreement. The off-the-record deal prevented the teen from testifying in his own defense.   The attorneys have also asked for Judge John Roach to be removed from post-trial hearings because of bias.  A different Collin County judge will hold a hearing on Aug. 19 to on the motion to replace Judge Roach.  The next day, the defense team will argue their motion for a new trial.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: Randy Kessler – Defense attorney based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Results of an independent autopsy has been revealed. The pathologist who conducted the second autopy rules Nolan Wells’ cause and manner of death are   “undetermined,” pending investigation.

Leticia Stauch's murder conviction has been overturned by the Colorado Court of Appeals. Stauch was found guilty of murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon. Now, a three-judge panel agrees that a biased juror deliberated on the case. In the 54 page ruling, the panel noted the juror said his son-in-law worked as a deputy district attorney in the District Attorney's office which prosecuted the case. The juror should have been dismissed automatically.   This now means a retrial.   Stauch, step mother to Gannon Stauch, reported the 11-year-old boy as missing. In reality,Stauch was stabbed, beat, shot, and killed inside the family’s Fountain home. Letetcia Stauch then tried to cover up her crimes, by blaming numerous imaginary people and driving to Florida to dispose of the boy's body. Gannon Stauch was stuffed inside a suitcase, which was then tossed over a bridge in Pace, Florida.   Prosecutors said that Letecia Stauch was upset that she was left taking care of her stepchildren. Internet searched shows her distain while Gannon’s father was away at work with the US National Guard.   The Colorado Department of Law filed an appeal  June 29, with the Supreme Court. It's now a waiting game to find out if court will review the case.

Jake Reiner has made his first public appearances since the murders of his parents, Rob and Michele. He attended the red carpet premiere of HBO's Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.   The murders of Michele and Rob Reiner happened after the pair leave Conan O'Brien's party without their son after his off-putting behavior, like wearing a hoodie to a formal event and interrupting Bill Hader’s private conversation, leads to an embarrassing public row. Reiner, however, doesn’t make his own way to Brentwood. Instead, he pops up in Santa Monica at 4 a.m. Sunday morning, checking into The Pierside hotel. Desk staff don’t notice anything off about Reiner’s appearance, but the next morning, housekeepers find sheets covering the windows, and blood all over Reiner’s bedding and shower. The Reiners’ troubles with their middle child have been bubbling to a head for months. Every photo of the family from the September premiere of Rob’s latest film, "Spinal Tap: The End Continues," picture the 32-year-old sporting a deep scowl. By November, Nick Reiner moves back into his parents’ guest house, which he’s trashed on multiple occasions, leading up to a blowout fight the day after Thanksgiving that left Michele “at her wits’ end.”  Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty.  Joining Nancy Grace: Philip Dubé - Court-Appointed Counsel, Los Angeles County Public Defenders: Criminal & Constitutional Law; Forensics & Mental Health Advocacy; X: PhilipCDube, IG: PhilipDube, YouTube: PhilipDube3922 Dr. Bethany Marshall -  Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLivee  Scott Eicher - A founding member of the FBI’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team (C.A.S.T); Historical Cellular Analysis Expert; Former FBI agent of 22 years; Former Police Officer and Homicide Detective with Norfolk Virginia Police Dept. having served 12 years; Currently with Precision Cellular Analysis handling Criminal, Defense and Civil Cases Rob Shuter - Host: Naughty But Nice Podcast, Author of Newly-released Novel “It Started With A Whisper;" Former Publicist of Sean Combs; IG: @naughtygossip Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of Podcast, "Mayhem in the Morgue," and Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University) Kayla Brantley - Reporter-At-Large for DailyMail.com and Host of DailyMail’s Podcast: 'The Trial of Diddy;' X: @_KaylaBrantley, Instagram: @KaylaBrantley Sydney Sumner - Investigative Reporter, ‘Crime Stories’  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society. Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals and travel. Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is now fighting against deportation, but her may have run out.  Homeland Security is speaking out saying, "We look forward to sending her home soon."    Initially after her release, Sorokin landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and took her turn on Dancing With The Stars.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Wendy Patrick: Trial Attorney & Author of “Red Flags” Jeff Cortese: Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Dr. William July: Psychologist John Lemley: CrimeOnline Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
