After having three children, 34-year-old Markita McIntyre is worried about her weight. Having heard about weight loss surgery, Kiki researched the most common bariatric surgery and found it costs around $18,000 in the US. In Tijuana, Mexico, a doctor will do the same surgery for around $4,000. McIntyre has gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico and dies. Two years later, Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of music icon, Elvis Presley, also dies from complications of bariatric surgery. The LA County Medical Examiner says Presley suffered from a small bowel obstruction that likely developed after she underwent bariatric surgery years ago.

Sherri Papini admits her 2016 kidnapping was a hoax, pleading guilty. The 39-year-old, sentenced to 18 months in prison, has been released into a residential management program. Her official release date is in October. The mom was reported missing 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. Panini's story began to unravel when investigators found male DNA on her clothing that led them to her ex-boyfriend, whom she had been staying with while she pretended to be missing. He dropped her off along Interstate 5 when she said she wanted to go back home. Investigators said that the former boyfriend said that Papini had asked him to hit her but he refused. Instead, he agreed to hold a hockey stick for her to run into and pelted her with hockey pucks. He also said he branded her at her request.

Eight-year-old Gretchen Harrington leaves home, walking to vacation bible school at a church just a half mile from her home. Usually, Gretchen is accompanied by her two sisters, but this day, she walks alone. The older girls stay home. It was just after 9 a.m. when Pastor Harold Harrington waved goodbye. Two hours passed before he found out Gretchen never made it to VBS. Hundreds of people took part in the search for the little girl. A police helicopter continuously flew overhead. Teams of searchers combed the hillside of the community. Friends and family hand out fliers with Gretchen’s picture on it. Some witnesses said they had seen Gretchen outside a car, talking to someone, but nothing came of the lead. Two months later, a jogger found the skeletonized human remains of a little girl. The Harringtons confirmed the clothing found with the body as Gretchen’s. It was only 20 minutes from her home. Gretchen’s manner of death is ruled a homicide. The girl's skull has been fractured by multiple vicious blows. An autopsy does not reveal sex assault, but police believe that was the motive. Now, years later, a new book leads to the capture of a murderer.

Ruby Franke makes shocking claims in court. The mom accused of child abuse, claims that one of her minor children sexually abused siblings, and molested several other family members, and children in the neighborhood, for years. Franke alleges one of her children began looking at pornography at just 3 years old. Franke says two children played a "patting game" with each other, but did not give details to the court about that game. Franke provided no proof of her allegations. The judge then said that her alleged abusive child 'will then need to be placed in a home with no other children.'

Tennessee prosecutors are seeking the death penalty Cleotha Abston, also known as Cleotha Henderson. He is charged with kidnapping and killing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher. Fletcher vanished while out on her morning run. Neighborhood video captured images of Fletcher being forced into an SUV. The kindergarten teacher's body was found days later near a vacant house less than a mile from the kidnapping site. Officers combing the area noticed footprints, tire tracks and “an odor of decay.” A pair of purple Lululemon running shorts matching what Fletcher was last seen wearing, was found in a nearby trash can. Abston, 39, is also charged with the rape of a woman in September 2021, but he was not arrested until after Fletcher’s killing because the state crime lab hadn’t gotten around to processing the sexual assault kit. Abston has pled not guilty.

When Dennis Rader, the serial killer dubbed BTK, was arrested in 2005, lots of documentation was found by the Wichita police: documentation in the form of his own writings, journals, and an unpublished book manuscript. The manuscript is thought to be a description of the murders BTK viewed as “successful." There were Polaroids of Rader dressed like his victims and in the “state” in which their murders occurred… bound, partially buried, or hanging upside down. The Osage County Sheriff’s Office investigators have poured over Rader’s writings looking for links to local unsolved crimes, and the information inside led police to search the property where Rader and his family lived. During their search of the property, investigators found " trophies" from at least one woman. Investigators also found chains apparently used for bondage, along with C-clips. C-clips can shorten chains or be used to secure a person’s legs or feet. We know that a pantyhose ligature was found. Other items found have not been described publicly.

For as long as anyone can remember, Yowhannes "John" Tewelde has been the clerk at the Richmond Market in San Francisco. He works 7 days a week, raising his two daughters to be educated and accomplished. Less than a year ago Tewolde became a US Citizen. Just 4 months after that celebration, Tewolde underwent heart surgery, then returned to work at the earliest opportunity. The 60-year-old clerk was beaten by a suspect trying to steal beer. It was the second time that day that the suspect tried to shoplift. The owner says Tewolde tried to stop the thief, but the suspect knocked Tewolde down, causing him to hit his head on the ground. He died after days in a coma.

The 28-year-old graduate student claims he has an alibi for the night of the killings and that the DNA tying him to the crime scene "was planted." With three other samples of unidentified male DNA discovered in the King Road home, Kohberger's lawyers may rely heavily on a "Some Other Dude" defense.

The father and stepmom of a New York man killed during a vacation watched via Zoom as the man who confessed to the murder was released from jail to get a haircut. Gregory Moore, a father of four, and friends rented a home in Houston, an Airbnb. After a night of clubbing, the men returned to their Airbnb. As one of the men parked the car, Moore and a woman with the group walked to the door. They never made it inside. A man wearing a hoodie and carrying a flashlight rushed Moore. Moore was pistol-whipped and shot multiple times. He took strikes to the neck, torso, left leg and both arms. Moore was life-flighted to a hospital but did not survive. James Ray Lane, 33, confessed to the murder, but 351st Criminal District Court Judge Nata Cornelio allowed the defendant to remain free. When Lane was charged, Judge Cornelio lowered Lane's $250,000 bond to $100,000, and during that time Lane has had multiple curfew violations. Back before Judge Cornelio, Lane pleads guilty to murder, but the judge according to court documents allows Lane to remain free on bond until his sentencing, so he could get a haircut.

Two women go missing within six miles of each other in Winter Park, Colorado. Melissa Whitsitt moved from Tennessee to Colorado in May to start a job at Winter Park Resort, almost 70 miles outside Denver. Mom Cindy Whitsett says her daughter had two days off and was supposed to return to work on Tuesday, August 15th. Whitsitt didn’t show up for her shift the police are called and a welfare check is complete. Whitsitt is not at her home. Police have confirmed that she got on a bus to Denver on Saturday around 10 a.m. She was wearing blue bell-bottom jeans, a blue tank top and/or a white sweatshirt. The Whitsitts say their daughter's phone pinged in Denver, but an unknown man was using it. Melissa Whitsitt's debit card has not been used since she went missing. Whitsitt doesn't have a car and hasn't contacted friends or family since the day she was last seen. Whisitt's parents say they have had to conduct their own investigation, as cops say they're outnumbered by missing people cases. Svetlana Ustimenko is an avid hiker living in Broward County, Florida, according to the Idaho Statesman. Family members say Ustimenko had been drawn to the peaceful Colorado mountains. After finding her rental car had not been returned by the due date and learning that Ustimenko was reported as missing from Florida, authorities launched an immediate search around the area where her vehicle was located on August 11. According to a news release from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office, the Grand County Search and Rescue, Front Range Rescue Dogs, Rescue Dogs of the United States, Colorado Search and Rescue as well as drones and volunteers, began searching for Ustimenko. Six cadaver dogs joined the search efforts to no avail.

Joran van der Sloot's appearance in an American federal courtroom was short. It took the convicted killer less than five minutes to enter a not-guilty plea on charges that he extorted money from Natalee Holliway's mother. The Dutch national was one of the last people to see the Alabama teen alive during her senior trip to Aruba in 2005, and many have theorized that van der Sloot raped and murdered her. During the Holloway investigation, van der Sloot told mother Beth Twitty that he would tell her where her daughter's body was for $250,000; $15,000 was wired to a Netherlands bank account and van der Sloot was given another $10,000 through an attorney. Van de Sloot offered a location but later admitted the information was “worthless.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The investigations continue after Rex Heuermann's arrest in connection with the Long Island Serial Killer deaths, and now, another new victim possibility is emerging. The daughter of a missing woman, Julia Ann Bean, says the last time she saw her mother, she was with a man who looked like Heuermann. Heidi Kovas tells our panel that the daughter is sharing her information with police today. Bean vanished out of South Carolina, around 100 miles from the property the Heuermanns own. Kovas says the daughter, after looking at a photo of Heuermann, "recognized him right away." Kovas says the daughter recalls Heuermann and her mother showing up at a nail salon where she was getting her nails done for her graduation. The man she identifies as Heuermann reportedly spoke to the then-teen, telling her that he had lake houses and boats that the girl and her friends could use to celebrate graduation. The man also said he wanted to marry Bean. Bean has been missing since 2017.

University of New Orleans student Ciaya Whetstone enjoys her first Mardi Gras celebration with her friends and her boyfriend: She posts photos on Instagram captioned, "Well my first Mardi Gras parade did not disappoint." As the night progresses, Whetstone ends up at her boyfriend's house, and later in the evening decides to go home to check on her dog. She calls an Uber. Whetstone’s roommate is home and Whetstone introduces the Uber driver as a “new friend." She announces to the roommate her plans to leave with the driver. The roommate tries to get Whetstone to stay home, but she says she wants to go find her car. That is the last time Whetstone was seen alive. Around 6:41 a.m., a man claiming to be an Uber Driver brings a visibly ill woman to New Orleans East Hospital and drops her off. The medical staff says Whetstone is blue in the face and has dilated, fixed pupils. There are no other outward injuries. Hospital personnel try to revive Whetstone without success. The time of death is called about 7 a.m. The Coroner determines that Whetstone has lethal doses of fentanyl and ethanol in her system at the time. Whetstone's mother is still pushing for answers in her daughter's death. No one has been charged in Whetstone's death.

Lucy Letby prided herself on caring for infants.  The neonatal nurse cared for the most vulnerable of patients: newborns. Then, the hospital noticed that more infants died in the span of a month than would typically die in a year. An investigation reveals that Letby had been the sole nurse working at the time of seven babies.  The child deaths span over the course of a year with, again, seven babies dying, while six others survived. Letby made babies sick by injecting intravenous lines with air, some were poisoned, and others were force-fed milk.      Letby preyed on twins and triplets.  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Greg Ahlgren - International Attorney-at-Law at the US-MX Law Group, Ltd. & DRT Alliance/Diaz Reus International Law Firm Caryn L.
