He was called the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, and the Original Night Stalker before anyone realized they were chasing the same man. Over more than a decade, he committed over 100 burglaries, approximately 50 sexual assaults, and 13 murders across California. Then he vanished for 40 years, raising a family in the suburbs while his victims spent decades checking their locks and flinching at unknown calls. He had studied criminal justice and worked as a cop on an anti-burglary unit just miles from the homes he was ransacking. It took a public genealogy database and a tissue in a trash can to finally put a name to the monster. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the full arc of the Golden State Killer, from the first break-ins to the breakthrough that proved no one gets to be gone in the dark forever.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy explains what happened after a 21-year-old British student named Meredith Kercher was found murdered in Perugia, Italy in November 2007. Investigators quickly fixated on her American roommate Amanda Knox. Not because of hard evidence, but because of the way she acted. What followed was a years-long legal battle shaped more by tabloid speculation than forensic fact, while the man convicted of the killing, and Meredith herself, faded from public view.

In November 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in her home in Perugia, Italy, just five weeks into a semester abroad she had spent months dreaming about. What should have been a straightforward search for justice became a global media spectacle, one that centered not on the victim, but on her American roommate, Amanda Knox. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy traces Meredith's life, her final days, and the chaotic scene that unfolded when her body was discovered.

In November 2006, Abraham Shakespeare won 30 million dollars in the Florida Lottery. He couldn't read or write and had spent most of his life scraping by on odd jobs in Lakeland, Florida, but overnight he became one of the wealthiest men in town. He gave most of it away within two years, paying off mortgages, covering funeral costs, and helping nearly anyone who asked. Then a woman named Dee Dee Moore showed up, promising to protect what was left. Within months, she had his house, his insurance, and his power of attorney. Not long after that, Abe vanished, and the only person who claimed to know where he went was the woman who had taken everything from him. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy is joined by Javier Leiva, host of PRETEND, to uncover the sting operation that cracked the case and explore why they call it the lottery curse.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy and Katie Ring, host of America's Most Infamous Crimes, follow the case against Kaitlin Armstrong in the 2022 murder of rising gravel racing star Mo Wilson. Digital forensics revealed months of obsessive surveillance, but a clerical error let Armstrong walk out of the police station before the murder warrant was ready. Within days, she had sold her Jeep, stolen her sister's passport, and fled to Costa Rica, where she paid cash for plastic surgery and assumed a fake identity. What followed was a 43-day international manhunt, a forensic goldmine hidden in her vehicle's GPS, and a trial that ended with a guilty verdict and a 90-year sentence.

In May 2022, 25-year-old Moriah "Mo" Wilson traveled to Austin, Texas, for a gravel race that was supposed to kick off her biggest season yet. A former elite ski racer turned dominant cyclist, Mo had overcome two ACL tears to become one of the top gravel racers in the country, with journalists calling her the future of the sport. But on the evening of May 11th, after a swim and dinner with a fellow racer, she returned to a friend's apartment and never came out alive. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Katie Ring, host of America's Most Infamous Crimes, to trace Mo's journey from small-town Vermont to the top of professional cycling, the complicated romantic entanglement that followed her to Austin, and the chilling surveillance footage that pointed investigators toward someone dangerously close to home.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy continues the investigation into the 1998 disappearance of 23-year-old Amy Bradley from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Multiple witnesses claimed to have seen Amy alive across the Caribbean in the years that followed, but every lead ran cold, and a con man posing as a Special Forces operative bilked her family out of more than $200,000. Decades later, the Bradleys still believe Amy is out there, and they're still waiting for the day she comes home.
