    On 26 September, 2016, a young mother rushed from a Harlem apartment building carrying her six-year-old son in her arms. The boy was limp, unresponsive. His small body was covered in bruises, welts, and broken bones - evidence of months of brutal abuse. The investigation into what happened would reveal something equally disturbing: a child welfare system that had failed him at every turn, despite five separate reports of abuse.

    On the 31st of May, 1996, Tom Williams picked up the phone and called Shenandoah National Park. His daughter, Julie, hadn't come home from her camping trip with her girlfriend, Lollie. She was supposed to be back by the 28th. Three days had passed. She had a new job starting June first. Julie wasn't the kind of person who just didn't show up.

    362: Nona Dirksmeyer
    May 25 2026
    Russellville, Arkansas was a quiet college town that hadn't seen a murder in nearly a decade. On December 15th, 2005, 19-year-old Nona Dirksmeyer, a beauty queen and music student, was found brutally beaten to death in her apartment. Her boyfriend discovered the body and immediately became the prime suspect. But what followed would expose deep flaws in the investigation and leave a family searching for answers they may never find.
