  • The Suspicious Death of Valarie Fiorenza (Massachusetts)
    May 1 2025

    Since the moment her death was discovered in April of 1993, the family of Valarie Fiorenza has doubted that she got a fair and thorough investigation. Her boyfriend was a cop, their relationship was tumultuous, and Valarie had even made claims of abuse in court, but when her body was found in that boyfriend’s basement, investigators decided that the circumstances could only point to one conclusion, and it wasn’t murder.

    So, what really happened here? Despite the official ruling, that question still lingers.

  • The Murder of Yasheeka "Mouda" Grant (Connecticut)
    Apr 24 2025

    What started with a call to police for a domestic disturbance ended with a four-day manhunt in search of a suspected killer. When that suspect, the victim’s husband, was finally apprehended, it seemed on the surface like an open-and-shut case. All signs pointed to a domestic violence homicide triggered by the dissolution of an already tumultuous and violent marriage.

    But then the case went to trial and the accused killer told his side of the story for the first time… And the prosecution took major issue with all of it.

    • If you are experiencing domestic violence, free, confidential support is available. Visit thehotline.org or call 1-(800)-799-SAFE.

  • The Suspicious Case of Martha “Sunny” von Bülow (Rhode Island)
    Apr 17 2025

    When a wealthy socialite was found face down and unresponsive on her bathroom floor, she soon slipped into her second coma in a year. This time, she would never wake up. Suspicion surrounded the cause of the woman’s condition from the very beginning, and that suspicion eventually led to an arrest.

    Two trials and endless speculation from the public and media later, the question still stands: did someone attempt to end Sunny’s life in order to inherit her fortune, or was the suspect framed?
