On November 13, 2001, Mike Blagg called 911 from his Grand Junction, Colorado home to report his wife Jennifer and six-year-old daughter Abby missing, and blood soaked into Jennifer's side of the bed. Behind the couple's reputation as a model Christian family lay financial strain, a troubled marriage, and a note that made investigators look twice. Within days, an FBI profiler told detectives this was a double homicide, and named a suspect they already knew. This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse and postpartum depression.

On July 26, 2009, 36-year-old Diane Schuler drove the wrong way down the Taconic State Parkway with five children in her minivan, killing eight people including herself and four of the children. Her blood alcohol was nearly twice the legal limit, but everyone who knew her insisted it was impossible, and her husband never accepted the findings. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the crash, the toxicology battle, and the question no one has ever answered: what happened in the two and a half hours between that gas station security camera and the moment eight-year-old Emma Hance picked up the phone.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the two-week search for Cindy James and the autopsy that turned her case inside out. Her body was found on June 8th, 1989, behind an abandoned house three-quarters of a mile from her car, hands and feet bound behind her back with a black nylon stocking and another wound around her neck. She had no injuries at all, no bruising under any of the ligatures, and nothing around her suggested a struggle. Then the toxicology came back: two sedatives she had never been prescribed, dozens of capsules of one alone, and morphine at more than five times a lethal dose that has never been explained. At the inquest, a knot specialist tied his own neck, wrists and ankles in under three minutes, and the coroner's own psychiatrist testified he saw nothing in the evidence to suggest she had done this to herself. The jury chose neither suicide nor homicide, and because no police force can close an unknown event, Cindy James's file has never been closed. Please note, this episode contains discussion of suicide and may not be suitable for all audiences.
