Bobby Joe Long: The Serial Killer a 17-Year-Old Girl Took Down

Bobby Joe Long murdered at least 10 women across Tampa, Florida between March and November 1984, evading investigators until a 17-year-old survivor's memory cracked the case wide open. The homicide investigation, later corroborated by FBI forensic evidence and Long's own confession, led to his conviction and a 1988 death sentence.A body that survived collision after collision since childhood. A marriage that fell apart after a motorcycle wreck seemed to rewire something in him completely. And then, in the middle of a killing spree that had five agencies scrambling, a Krispy Kreme employee riding home on her bike got pulled off it by a man with a gun to her head. What she did over the next 26 hours, while blindfolded and terrified, is the reason this case ever got solved at all. This is the story of Bobby Joe Long, the women he killed, and the teenager who out-thought him and spent the rest of her life making sure he never touched anyone else.

50 Dollars and a New Name: The Jeremy Bryan Jones Story

In September 2004, 43-year-old Lisa Nichols was raped and murdered inside her Turnerville, Alabama home just days after Hurricane Ivan tore through the region, and the man responsible had been living under a stolen identity for four years thanks to a fingerprint system that failed him. Jeremy Bryan Jones walked free through three separate arrests before investigators connected him to the crime, and once he was caught, he didn't stop talking. He confessed to killing over 20 people across five states. Some of it was true. A lot of it wasn't. This is the story of a man who learned early that charm gets you further than violence, and what happens when an entire justice system can't tell his lies from his truth.

The Grandparents Who Killed for Cattle Money

Picture the most harmless looking couple you can imagine. Now picture that couple with a farm, a livestock scam, and a body count. Ray and Faye Copeland spent fifty years married before they became, at 66 and 69, the oldest couple ever sentenced to death row in American history. This one has a quilt in it. It has a list. It has a man who talked his way out of a barn and lived to make the call that ended it all. It's one of the strangest true crime cases you'll hear this year, and it's all true.

Ray and Faye Copeland murdered at least five homeless drifters on their Missouri farm between 1986 and 1989, luring each man with promises of work before Ray executed them with a .22 rifle. Investigators eventually recovered a handwritten list of twelve names in Faye's own hand, only five of which were ever matched to a body.

The Fixer, the Photos, and the Death of Tom Merriman

In December 2020, a Solana Beach, California woman named Jade Janks drugged and killed the man she'd called her father for over two decades, then spent New Year's Day disguising his body as a pile of trash in their shared driveway. Thomas Merriman was a beloved butterfly conservationist. Jade Janks was the stepdaughter who'd cooked him dinner every night of the pandemic. Somewhere between those two facts sits a discovery on his computer that she said broke something in her permanently, and a string of increasingly desperate text messages to a man she called "the fixer" that ended up telling prosecutors almost the entire story. This is a case where the victim's public image and the killer's private allegations never got to sit in the same room together, because the woman who could have proven her own motive burned the evidence herself, on purpose, the same night he died.

The Serial Killer Shrine: The Shaye Groves and Frankie Fitzgerald Case

Her bedroom walls were covered in framed photos of serial killers. Her bookshelf was stacked with true crime and gangster biographies. And when the moment came, prosecutors say she used everything she'd absorbed from years of true crime obsession to try to talk her way out of what she'd done. This is the story of a relationship that turned lethal, a woman who thought she'd studied the perfect getaway, and the digital trail that proved otherwise.

Frankie Fitzgerald, 25, was found dead from a fatal knife wound to the throat in a Havant, Hampshire home on July 17, 2022. His girlfriend, Shaye Groves, was convicted of his murder after a five-week trial at Winchester Crown Court, where forensic evidence, mobile phone data, and body camera footage dismantled her claim of self-defense.
