After an excruciating year of begging and pleading for answers, we learned that Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain, a Northern California mom of four, was allegedly k*lled by her abusive husband. Prosecutors say he did this so that she wouldn't testify against him at a domestic violence trial. Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain's body still has never been found. The Shasta County District Attorney's Office announced that Tyler McCain was arrested after an informant told investigators he admitted k*lling his wife in May 2024 — when the 39-year-old was last seen alive. Former homicide prosecutor Jarrett Ferentino, Geo-Profiler Douglas MacGregor, and USPA's boots-on-the-ground- for this case, Brian Fitzgibbons will join the discussion about what's to come.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvNNPbGoy4k Hosted on Acast.

It's been 36 years (to the day, 8/20/1989) since Erik and Lyle Menendez killed their parents- and it's always been about the why. The Menendez brothers will have their parole hearings this Thursday, 8/21 and Friday 8/22, after an LA County Superior Court judge reduced their sentences from life in prison without the possibility of parole to 50 years to life. Emmy-winning journalist Robert Rand provides a fresh update on the Menendez Brothers case, 36 years after Lyle and Erik were convicted of murdering their parents. Rand talks the new evidence, including a 1988 letter from Erik detailing abuse by their father, Jose, which could sway the court toward parole eligibility. Rand also discusses the brothers' ongoing fight for freedom and the impact of his book, The Menendez Murders, in reshaping public perception. Follow Rob (@MenendezRand) and Instagram (@imrobertrand) and his blog at MenendezMurders.com, where you can also find the updated copy of his book.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vIVmuausPhI Hosted on Acast.
