• True Crime This Week: Music Murders

  This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson examines two killings that shook the music world — both committed by fans whose admiration turned to obsession.First, in 1980, 25-year-old Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon outside The Dakota in New York City. Once a devoted Beatles fan, Chapman’s delusions and fixation on The Catcher in the Rye pushed him to murder the very man whose music had once inspired him.Then, in 2004, heavy metal icon Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan was gunned down on stage in Columbus, Ohio, by a mentally unstable fan who believed the guitarist had betrayed him.From rock legends to metal heroes, these stories reveal how fame, fanaticism, and untreated mental illness can collide — with devastating consequences.

• First Watch: Teacher’s Secret Letters & Ex-Wife Convicted of Beheading

  It started with whispers in a detention center: a teacher lingering too long by a seventeen-year-old’s door, and ended with investigators pulling nearly two hundred explicit letters from his cell, including a written play-by-play of abuse and a chilling request to kill her husband. At trial, the truth spilled out in her own handwriting, yet she escaped a solicitation of murder conviction. When a blueprint for violence is written in ink, why isn’t it treated like a threat? Then, Katie watches an investigation play out in Las Vegas, where a mother opened her basement door to a nightmare: her son dead, his body soaked in chemicals, and his head missing. Detectives quickly focused on the ex-wife who’d slept under the same roof that night, but the evidence that followed led somewhere stranger: a stunning revelation about who she’d secretly married years earlier. What began as a hunt for a killer unraveled into a tangled family triangle that no one in that courtroom saw coming. If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House Daily to never miss a case!

• Night Watch: Meredith Kercher’s Death: Beyond the Amanda Knox Frenzy

  Sixteen years ago today, Amanda Knox was first convicted in the murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, and the world focused almost entirely on the “Foxy Knoxy” story. Tonight, Katie steps back into that case to center Meredith, unpacks how a rushed and chaotic investigation turned Knox and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, into tabloid villains, and looks closely at the third person in the room, Rudy Guede. Guede’s DNA was everywhere at the crime scene, but he largely escaped global scrutiny. With Guede now back on trial after his ex accused him of beating and SAing her, and the original prosecutor pushing a new theory about another woman involved, Katie breaks down what the evidence really showed, what courts later admitted went wrong, and how a Hulu show thrust Meredith’s death back into the spotlight.

• First Watch: Wrong Door, Deadly Encounter & a Florida Family’s Horror Pact

  A routine home visit turned deadly when 56-year-old social worker Maria Coto knocked on the wrong apartment door and walked straight into the drug-fueled rage of a man high on PCP. Minutes later, Maria was fighting for her life as a 911 dispatcher listened helplessly on the line. Her killer has now been convicted, but her death has shaken an entire community. Then in Florida, a family facing eviction made a horrifying choice: a suicide pact involving two parents and their disabled teenage son. The plan nearly succeeded, until a last-minute 911 call saved all three and exposed the parents’ chilling actions. If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House Daily to never miss a case!
