Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Nancy Grace uncovers the horrific reality aboard a Carnival cruise ship where 18-year-old high school cheerleader Anna Kepner was found sexually assaulted and choked to death. Hidden beneath a stateroom twin bed under a pile of life jackets, Anna’s body went unnoticed for 16 hours while her family roamed the ship. As a complicated web of family secrets spills out through an unrelated custody battle, a federal grand jury officially charges her 16-year-old stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, with first-degree murder to be tried as an adult. Nancy Grace and her expert panel dissect the critical FBI DNA testing, cruise ship surveillance footage, and the heartbreaking signs of danger that were tragically ignored.

Nancy Grace investigates a chilling pattern of brilliant scientists and national security officials who have mysteriously vanished or turned up dead.

Former intelligence officers and forensic experts weigh in on the suspicious fates of whistleblowers like Department of Energy Special Agent Kevin Childress and Air Force Intelligence Officer Matthew Sullivan, both of whom died abruptly just before they were scheduled to deliver classified testimony to Congress.

Tiger Woods arrested after rolling his vehicle during a two-car crash.
According to police, Woods was attempting to pass a truck in front of him on a two-lane road in Jupiter Island, Florida, but Wood’s Range Rover clipped the back of the truck. No other vehicles were involved. Wood was able to crawl out of the passenger side window.
Officers on the scene administered a breathalyzer test, with Woods blowing zero, negative for alcohol. Officers still suspected Woods was impaired, saying the golf legend appeared “lethargic.” He then refused a urine test.
Woods was then taken into custody. Woods entered a written plea of 'not-guilty' to a DUI charge and was granted permission by Judge Darren Steele, to travel to Switzerland for rehab. Woods spent 40 days at the facility in intensive physical and psychological care before returning to the USA when girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, announced was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Woods spent 10 days in Florida as her treatment began, but opted to return to Switzerland to continue his treatment plan. Woods will miss all Golf's major tournaments this year.
