When 43-year-old Crystal Jones was found dead in her Oak Grove, Louisiana home in 2023, local law enforcement quickly ruled it a suicide. But nearly two years later, her sister Jana is still fighting for answers because so many things about Crystal’s death just don’t add up. From an oddly premature conclusion, to a mysteriously delayed shell casing finding, to troubling inconsistencies in her husband’s story, this case is full of red flags that were seemingly ignored. With help from private investigator Sheila Wysocki, Jana is doing everything she can to uncover the truth. So was this a tragic suicide… or something far more sinister?

The Murder of Kendra Hatcher
In this episode, special guest Kelsey from A Trial By Podcast tells Kristin all about the murder of Kendra Hatcher, a 35-year-old pediatric dentist living in Dallas, Texas, who was shot and killed in the parking garage of her upscale apartment complex on September 2, 2015. The murder was orchestrated by Brenda Delgado, the ex-girlfriend of Kendra’s boyfriend, Ricky Paniagua, who had grown jealous of their relationship. Brenda recruited Crystal Cortes to drive getaway and hired Kristopher Love to carry out the shooting, promising payment in exchange. Delgado provided Cortes with information about Kendra’s whereabouts and used her connections to obtain the murder weapon. The plot unraveled quickly as investigators tracked down Cortes, who confessed and implicated both Love and Delgado. Love was later convicted and sentenced to death, while Delgado, who had fled to Mexico, was extradited and received a life sentence. The case shocked the community not only for its calculated nature, but also because of the seemingly senseless motive: jealousy.

The Murders of Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin
When two young men are killed in a fiery car crash on a quiet UK highway, it initially looks like a tragic accident. But a chilling 999 call and hours of CCTV footage quickly reveal the truth that this was no accident. It was an ambush.
What follows is a story involving a TikTok influencer, a secret affair, and a plot that spiraled into cold-blooded murder. This is the case of Mahek Bukhari, and the fatal consequences of trying to keep a secret at all costs.

The Johnson City Scandal
When 32-year-old Mikayla Evans fell five stories from a condo window in Johnson City, Tennessee, she woke from a coma with no memory of what happened, but with a shattered body and a chilling certainty: she had been drugged. Her fall led to disturbing allegations, not just against the man who owned the condo, Sean Williams, but against the very police department tasked with investigating him. As federal prosecutor Kat Dahl dug deeper, she uncovered a horrifying pattern of abuse, ignored reports, and possible corruption that may have enabled one of the most prolific sexual predators in recent history. This week, we’re diving into a case that left us reeling—and angry.
