UPCOMING EPISODES

From the outside looking in the Turpin family seemed normal enough, but a phone call in January 2018 changed everything. One of their thirteen children escaped from captivity and exposed the dark secrets of what had been happening inside the Turpin family household for decades. Systematic torture and abuse within the walls of the Turpin home are just the tip of the iceberg as those closest to the family make sense of this tragedy. Hear firsthand accounts from those who knew them best, and learn how blindsided even they were to the horrors taking place. Were the Turpins mentally ill, or sadistic psychopaths? Why didn’t the children seek help sooner? And perhaps most importantly, can you ever really know what’s going on behind closed doors?

1980s Los Angeles brought a string of serial murders that should’ve been splashed across the front pages of every newspaper and been at the top of mind for every LAPD officer, but weren’t – many suspect the race and occupation of these women were the reason the LAPD turned a blind eye, and was also exactly the reason their killer targeted them. When one of the Southside Slayer’s victims survives, the killings stop and the case goes cold for several decades until he begins to strike again. An expose revealing decades of racism and discrimination within the LAPD finally puts enough pressure on the case, and with the help of familial DNA an arrest is finally made – along with a shocking discover that the actual body count for this monster may be much larger. The real question is: at the core of this story, what truly allowed the Grim Sleeper to get away with it for so long, and how many secrets did he take to his grave?

From birth Ethan Couch was raised in a bubble of wealth, privilege, and lack-of-consequences. He was taught that money can buy you anything, and there’s no reason to be accountable for your actions. His teenage rebellious behavior escalated out of control in a series of incidents crescendo-ing in the deaths of 4 people and severe injuries of 9 more. During his trial and sentencing a radical defense of “affluenza” was presented and became a self-fulfilling prophecy: Ethan received a lenient sentence because he had been sheltered by wealth his whole life (losing his sense of consequences and morals). Over the following years he became a repeat offender, always slipping out of any true justice when caught. His behavior continues to this day. The real question is – who’s fault is it that he’s seems to be a remorseless psychopath?

From the outside looking in, the relationship between Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka was picture-perfect. A beautiful young couple with their whole lives ahead of them. Behind closed doors was another story. Paul – a budding psychopath who already had a string of serial rapes under his belt. Karla – deranged and eager to offer up her younger sister and other young women to be raped and murdered. Adding to the distressing nature of their crimes is their twisted obsession with filming and re-enacting them. These tapes were ultimately their downfall, with Karla getting off easy by being the one to rat out Paul. The real question is – who was the ring leader in these horrendous events, and why?
