On February 16th, 2011, police officers arrived at an elementary school in Irvine, California, demanding to speak with PTA president and school volunteer Kelli Peters after receiving an anonymous tip claiming she had been driving erratically around the school and had drugs in her car. Officers searched Kelli’s vehicle and discovered marijuana, a pipe, and prescription pills inside. Kelli insisted they weren’t hers and pleaded with the officers, who agreed the circumstances seemed suspicious. But no one could have prepared for the truth that would eventually come to light.

In 2016, Michelle Hadley was arrested and accused of staging a bizarre kidnapping plot and framing her ex’s new fiancée through a series of disturbing online messages. Investigators believed the threats, which described a violent abduction fantasy, were part of an elaborate hoax created by Michelle herself. She was jailed and faced serious charges… until the case began to unravel. As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered evidence pointing to a far more complex scheme than anyone initially believed.

On July 23rd, 2013, Tiffany Mead agreed to meet her estranged husband, Kristopher Ertmann, at a park in Davis County, Utah to collect a child support payment. Instead, prosecutors say he ambushed her, slitting her throat and forcing her to tell 911 she had tried to harm herself. Miraculously, Tiffany survived -and once she was able to speak, she told investigators what really happened that day. But as the case moved forward, authorities would uncover an even more disturbing plan that suggested the danger was far from over.

On July 24th, 2011, just days before her 18th birthday, 17-year-old Ne’Keisha “Keisha” Hodges-Hawkins was at a party in Krueger Memorial Park in Michigan City, Indiana, when gunfire broke out in a crowd of more than 100 people. Keisha was struck and killed, and despite the number of witnesses, no one initially came forward with information. For years, the case remained unsolved… until Keisha’s father began searching for answers himself, turning to social media to push for justice and uncover the truth about what happened that night.

In February 2018, 25-year-old Patrick De La Cerda was at home when he fell victim to an ambush-style shooting. His fiancée Jessica Devnani’s jealous ex-boyfriend, Gregory Bender, had been sending harassing messages to the couple for months. After a judge had issued a restraining order, the threats stopped… until the morning of the murder. Police followed a tip to check Bender’s home, where they came across a hand drawn map of De La Cerda’s house and notes that Bender himself made on how to carry out the murder. And if that wasn’t enough, he left out ammunition and shell casings that matched those found at the crime scene.

On October 16, 2014, 21-year-old Skylar Nemetz shot and killed his wife, 19-year-old Danielle Nemetz. Neighbors who heard the shot were the ones to report the shooting, as Skylar was making no attempt to seek help for his wife. He then seemed to be all over the place in his questioning with the police–from upset and crying, to being combative with officers, to claiming he couldn’t remember what happened, to defending his actions.

On April 10, 2018, 16-year-old Kyle Plush got trapped in the back of his minivan, and was being crushed by the 3rd row of seats. He was able to call 911 two separate times using his phone's voice assistant, but through a series of missteps by the 911 operator and police sent to look for the car, Plush wasn't discovered until much later, when it was too late, by his father.

In October 2023, 21-year-old student Lillie James was killed by her ex-boyfriend, Paul Thijssen. He couldn't bear with the fact that she had just broken up with him, and he wanted revenge. Security cameras captured James going into their school bathroom with Thijssen following behind shortly after. She was never seen alive again, and Thijssen disposed of a hammer in a nearby garbage can.
