Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

New details released in the murder investigation of slain Delphi girls, Abby Williams and Libby German. The Murder Sheet podcast made public a redacted search warrant submitted by an FBI agent explaining why there was probably cause to search the property of Ron Logan. The girls' bodies were found on Logan's property. The court documents  state “a large amount of blood was lost by the victims at the crime scene,” meaning the killer would have been covered in blood. The warrant also states the victims  didn't have any defense wounds, but some articles of clothing were taken from them and removed from the scene. The agent suggests the scene had been staged.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Kevin Greenlee - Attorney (Indianapolis, IN), Co-Host, Murder Sheet Podcast,  Facebook: "Murder Sheet Discussion Group" Dr. Jorey Krawczyn - Psychologist (Panama City Beach, FL), Adjunct Faculty with Saint Leo University; Research Consultant with Blue Wall Institute, Author: "Operation S.O.S. - Practical Recommendations to Help “Stop Officer Suicide”, bw-institute.com ' Sheryl McCollum - Forensic Expert & Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder, ColdCaseCrimes.org, Twitter: @ColdCaseTips Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" Áine Cain - Senior Reporter, Business Insider (Indianapolis, IN), Co-creator: "Murder Sheet" and "Mystery to Me" Podcasts,  Facebook: "Murder Sheet Discussion Group" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been more than a decade since a 17-year-old New York girl disappears during a spontaneous Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Now the family of Brittanee Drexel can bring her home. Many theories surfaced on what happened to Drexel, including an allegation that her body had been fed to alligators. Drexel was last seen on video after she walked out the Bar Harbor hotel near downtown. She texted her boyfriend that she was returning to her hotel and was never seen again.  Now, Sheriff Carter Weaver of the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office has announced that Drexel's remains have been recovered and a suspect is behind bars for her 2009 murder. Convicted sex offender Raymond Moody, 62, is facing murder and related charges.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: Dawn Drexel - Victim's Mother  Jarrett Ferentino - Pennsylvania Attorney/Homicide Prosecutor, Attorney to Dawn Drexel Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital Sheryl McCollum - Forensic Expert & Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder, ColdCaseCrimes.org, Twitter: @ColdCaseTips  Dr. Michelle DuPre - Former Forensic Pathologist, Medical Examiner and Detective: Lexington County Sheriff's Department, Author: "Homicide Investigation Field Guide" & "Investigating Child Abuse Field Guide", Forensic Consultant DMichelleDupreMD.com  Nicole Boone - Special Events Anchor, WBTW (Myrtle Beach), Host and Producer: "Conversations with Nicole" podcast, www.wbtw.com, Facebook.com/Conversations.Nicole.Boone, Instagram: @nicoletvnews, Twitter: @WBTW_NicoleB, Youtube: "Conversations with Nicole"  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished, from his grandmother's backyard on May 6, 2020.  His grandmother says she just turned her back for a few seconds to deal with the family dog. When she turned back around, Dylan was gone.   Dylan's rubber boots were discovered six hours after his disappearance, submerged in a creek nearby.   Despite a six-day official search, and hundreds of volunteer searches, that's the only evidence found.  The family in the meantime, began receiving ransom demands. A photoshopped photo of Dylan looking beaten and bruised was sent with a demand for money. Others followed.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: Jason Ehler - Victim's Father  Ashley Brown - Victim's Mother  James Shelnutt - 27 years Atlanta Metro Area Major Case Detective, Former S.W.A.T. officer, Attorney, The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C., www.ShelnuttLawFirm.com, Twitter: @ShelnuttLawFirm Caryn Stark - NYC Psychologist, www.carynstark.com, Twitter: @carynpsych, Facebook: "Caryn Stark"  Irv Brandt - Former US Marshals Service International Investigations Branch, Author: "FLYING SOLO: Top of the World" available on Amazon www.irvbrandt.com @JackSoloAuthor Dave Mack - Crime Online Investigative Journalist See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Linda Carman and her son, Nathan, set out on a night fishing trip. They don't return. A week later, Nathan Carman is found in an inflatable life raft, but his mother is nowhere to be found. Now police say Carman killed his mother and sank the boat intentionally for a $7,000,000 inheritance.  Carman is accused of enlarging holes in the boat, "Chicken Pox," to ensue it sank.  The boat's insurer National Liability and Fire Insurance Co., asked a court to deny any insurance claim on the boat following an investigation that revealed Nathan compromised it before the accident.  The insurer's report states that in "removing his boat's trim tabs hours before departing on its final voyage, Carman not only failed to properly seal four thruhull holes he thereby opened at the transom's waterline, but two recent depositions establish Carman enlarged those four holes.”   This is not the first time Carmen has been eyed for a murder of a family member: He was reportedly named a person of interest in the 2014 shooting death of his wealthy grandfather, John Chakalos. Warrants say that Carman was the last person to see his grandfather alive before the 87-year-old man was found shot to death in his Windsor, Connecticut, home. Nathan reportedly purchased a gun that was the same caliber as the weapon that killed his grandfather, a multimillionaire developer, and declined to let police know this during questioning. He also declined to take a polygraph test. Joining Nancy Grace Today: Andrew Norris - Maritime Attorney and Consultant, Tradewind Maritime Services Inc.

Bowen Turner back behind bars. The South Carolina man accused of  three rapes arrested for disorderly conduct and given bail, but Turner denied bail on another charge stemming from a probation violation. 19-year-old Turner was arrested on Mother's Day and after his arrest, he allegedly called a female jailer the "B word" and tried to bite off the finger of another. This latest incident happens after a controversial sentence handed down in April.  Orangeburg County Court Judge Markley Dennis sentenced Turner to five years of probation as part of a plea for assaulting a woman in 2019.  The charge was reduced from an earlier charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, even though the victim was willing to testify and it was the third sexual assault accusation against Turner in less than two years.  Ankle monitoring logs show that Turner violated his previous bond dozens of times, visiting golf courses, restaurants, shopping centers and even going out of state.

Ex-jailer Vicky White commits suicide as cops close in on her and fellow fugitive Casey White.  Authorities tracked down the Alabama outlaws to a motel in Evansville, Indiana. The pair attempted to flee when they realized police had found them, which led to a chase.   A newly released  911 call appears to contain the last words of Vicky White. As sirens screech in the background,  a woman's voice says, "Airbags are going off! Let's get out and run! We never should have left the hotel."     Dashcam video also reveals that when the vehicle rolled over, police could see that Vicky was holding a gun to her head. “She still has the gun in her hands,” one officer says in the video. “Finger's on the trigger.”   Vicky White was hospitalized and died hours later. Casey White was extradited back to Alabama, where he has been charged with first-degree escape. He is already facing capital murder charges in connection with the death of Connie Ridgeway in 2015.

New details in the search for prison escapee Casey White and the female prison employee who helped set him free.  An attorney for the escaped convict says White is mentally ill and likely off his meds — and that's not a good thing. Dale Bryant tells AL.com that “Casey's an all right guy” when he's taking his meds, but when White is off his medication, Bryant says "that's when things become a problem.'  White, 38, slipped out of an Alabama county jail with the help of rogue jailer Vicky White, 57 — no relation — in an obviously carefully planned escape. No one even knew they were gone for six hours, and by that time they'd already abandoned their getaway car in Tennessee.  Rewards for information leading to Casey White and Vicky White have reached a total of $25,000 — $15,000 for the inmate and $10,000 for the jailer.

German national Christian Brueckner has been named a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann. Brueckner, 44, is currently serving a 7-year prison sentence in Germany for raping an elderly American woman in 2005.  Three-year-old Maddie went missing from a vacation rental while on a family holiday in Portugal. The Portuguese Public Ministry, while not specifically naming Brueckner, said that evidence had been uncovered that put a suspect named "Christian B" in Praia da Luz at the time of Maddie's disappearance. A Portuguese prosecutor in Braunschweig, Germany, has been pursuing a case against Brueckner since June 2020.     Joining Nancy Grace Today: Darryl Cohen - Former Assistant District Attorney, Fulton County, Georgia, Defense Attorney, Cohen, Cooper, Estep, & Allen, LLC, www.ccealaw.com Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital Greg Smith - Special Deputy Sheriff, Johnson County Sheriff's Office (Kansas),  Executive Director of the Kelsey Smith Foundation, www.kelseysarmy.com  Charlie Lankston - FeMail Editor, DailyMail.com, Twitter/Instagram:@charlielanks  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JonBenet Ramsey, 6, was reported missing by her mother the day after Christmas 1996. Patsy Ramsey reported finding a ransom note that demanded more than $118,000. John Ramsey discovered the girl's body the same day in the basement of the family's home in Boulder, Colorado. Investigators determined that JonBenet was strangled and had an 8.5-inch fracture to her skull. No one has been charged in connection with the killing. John Ramsey spoke at the CrimeCon 2022 convention in Las Vegas, where he called for an independent agency to test DNA from his daughter JonBenét Ramsey's case. Ramsey said he wanted the independent agency to conduct the DNA analysis instead of the Boulder Police Department, whom Ramsey says botched the investigation.

Corrections officer Vicky White helped murder suspect Casey Cole escape, according to Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton. Singleton joined Crime Stories today saying what's not known is if Vicky White did it willingly. Singleton pointed out Vicky White broke several protocols to facilitate this escape. Casey White, (no relation) who was serving a 75-year prison sentence for a multi-day, multi-state string of violent crimes in 2015, was also awaiting trial on capital murder charges. Friday — the day of the escape — was supposed to be Vicky White's last day of work, as she had recently put in for retirement and sold her house. A warrant for Vicky White's arrest charging her with assisting in the escape has been issued. US Marshals have offered a $5,000 reward offered for information leading to her arrest.

Sherri Papini admits her 2016 kidnapping was a hoax. The 39-year-old mom was reported missing on November 2,  and told investigators when she was found 22 days later that a pair of Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint.  Papini said her kidnappers abused her and then shoved her out of a car. Papini  was emaciated, her hair was cut shorter, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but prosecutors said she caused the injuries herself. The case was broken in 2020 when DNA led investigators to Papini's ex, who told them she had been with him the entire time.  Federal prosecutors charged Papini with 34 counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements. Papini accepted a plea deal, but didn't explain why she created an elaborate kidnapping hoax, although she apologized for her actions.  Since her arrest, Papini's husband has started divorce proceedings.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Sheriff Michael Johnson - Shasta County Sheriff's Office Matthew Mangino - Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County), Former Parole Board Member, Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States"   Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist,  www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital  Bill Garcia - Private Investigator, "Bill Garcia Investigative Services", Part of Search Team for Sherri Papini  Kristy Mazurek - Emmy Award-winning Investigative Reporter, President: "Successful Strategies"  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

High-velocity splatter found on a shirt worn by disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh may show he was present at the time his wife and son were murdered.   FITSNews is reporting their inside sources are saying that multiple forensics experts, including one at an out-of-state lab,  confirm the preliminary analysis of a significant amount of high-velocity spatter from at least one of their bodies. Alex Murdaugh has since been charged with multiple financial crimes and faces numerous civil lawsuits, since Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found dead. He's even been named a person of interest, but not a suspect, so far.  Sources close to the investigation told FITSNews that multiple shots from a high-powered rifle killed Maggie Murdaugh, including one that went through her back and another into the back of her head as she was face down on the ground. Paul Murdaugh's death certificate said the he had two shotgun wounds: one to the head and the other to the chest. At least one of the guns used in the murders belonged to the Murdaugh family. Alex Murdaugh's attorney has repeatedly said that his client's whereabouts are “accounted for completely.”      Joining Nancy Grace Today: Susan E.

Murder charges against Suzanne Morphew's husband, Barry,  have been dismissed.  The Colorado mom has been missing since Mother's Day of 2020. Prosecutors filed a motion to dismissed without prejudice — meaning charges can be refiled at a later date. Police claim they are close to finding Suzanne Morphew's body, but the weather and snowpack are delaying searches.  Prosecutors wrote in their latest motion that they have zeroed in on a “remote and mountainous” area currently covered by five feet of snow, near the Morphews' home. During an April 8 hearing, the judge barred 12 of the prosecution's 14 witnesses from testifying as expert witnesses. Prosecutors wrote in Tuesday's motion that some of their strongest evidence — phone and GPS data in addition to truck data — was also excluded from Barry Morphew's planned trial.

Actor Johnny Depp's testimony continues in his $50 million defamation lawsuit again his former wife. On Tuesday, Depp testified that Amber Heard has “grossly embellished” incidents in their marriage. Depp told the court that he had never hit Heard and that her characterization of his behavior while on drugs, was inaccurate. Depp told the court that there was “no moment where I would've been considered out of control” during his marriage. Depp sued Heard over an op-ed published in the Washington Post. The actress characterized herself as a domestic abuse survivor, but didn't mention Depp by name. Depp alleged defamation because Heard's claims covered the time they were married.

A 51-year-old mom of two, stabbed nearly 60 times, found stuffed inside a duffel bag in her Forest Hills neighborhood. A half-mile long blood trail led police to the home Gaal shared with her husband and teen sons. The husband and older son were reportedly out of town on a college campus visit. Police say Orsolya Gaal spent her Friday afternoon with friends at a backyard party, before telling her teen son that she was meeting friends. Police say the woman is seen on surveillance video sitting in a Queens' bar, alone, for nearly an hour. Then at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, a security video captured a man rolling the bloody duffel bag down Juno Street. A man walking his dogs found the body. Gaal's husband says he received a text message threatening him and his children prior to the murder. Whoever sent the text claimed they had been jailed or imprisoned at some point in the past because of Gaal. The suspect allegedly threatened to kill the entire family if the police were contacted. No suspect names have been released and no arrests have been made in the case.

Three South Carolina teen girls accuse the same man of raping them. Bowen Turner is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, but the outcome, in this case, has caused much outcry. While awaiting trial, Turner is held on house arrest with ankle monitoring. Court documents state that if Turner violates his bond, he is to be immediately taken into custody, but reports show that Turner violated that order more than 50 times, even crossing state lines without being taken into custody. One case was dropped when the victim died. In facing the other charges, Turner accepted a plea deal. He pleads guilty as a youthful offender to first-degree assault and battery. At sentencing, Turner is given five years of probation and does not have to register as a sex offender. As long as Turner follows the terms of his probation, his conviction could be expunged from his record. Crime Stories has reached out to the South Carolina Solicitor's office and the prosecuting attorney for comment.
