Rebecca Zahau's death was ruled a suicide by investigators twice, so why did a civil suit brought against her boyfriend's brother show that he killed her? This week, Savannah breaks down the incredibly twisted tale surrounding Rebecca Zahau's hanging. Just the day before Rebecca was found dead, Rebecca was at billionaire Jonah Shacknai's home when Jonah's son Max died in a freak accident. Jonah's family, including his ex-wife, felt strongly that Rebecca was directly responsible for Max's accidental death. The next day, Jonah's brother Adam Shacknai reportedly found Rebecca hanging from a balcony, tied up and gagged, and a cryptic note was found etched on her door. So did Rebecca kill herself due to guilt over Max's death, or did Adam strangle and kill Rebecca as an act of familial revenge?

After Nicholas Barclay went missing for nearly 3 years, the family was elated to hear that their son had been found safe in Spain, but the person they met halfway across the world was not their son, it was a con man. This week, Savannah explores the case of Nicholas Barclay, who has yet to be found to this day. A French man named Frédéric Pierre Bourdin lied his way into the Barclay home pretending to be their long-lost son, and even pretended to be other lost children after he had already been found out. But if Bourdin isn't Nicholas, what really happened to the young boy? Some believe he was taken by a stranger, but some investigators believe he was actually killed by his own family, allowing for Bourdin's con to go on much longer than necessary Don’t fall for subscription scams.

Her husband, Richard Crafts, came up with several stories to explain her sudden disappearance before deciding that he didn't know where she was. It didn't take long for Richard to become the main suspect and even be convicted for her murder, but Helle Crafts' body has never been recovered, resulting in the first murder conviction without a body in Connecticut history. Savannah takes you through the mountain of evidence that surrounded this historic case, as well as the timeline of Helle's final moments as theorized by police and prosecutors.

Thomas Bartlett "Bart" Whitaker had a loving family that he threw away the night he plotted to have them murdered. While out having a celebratory dinner, no one in his family could've imagined the horror that waited for them when they got back home. This week, Savannah details how Bart hired a hitman to kill his family as soon as they set foot inside, how he was found out, and the miraculous survival of his father, Kent Whitaker. Incredibly, Kent has since forgiven his son for orchestrating the killing of his son Kevin Whitaker and wife Patricia Whitaker, and has even visited him regularly while he was on death row. And in another twist, mere minutes before Bart was set to executed, he got a call from the governor commuting his sentence instead to life in prison. So why did Bart kill the people he supposedly loved? All to cover up another web of lies. Love Killer Instincts but hate the ads?

The Zodiac Killer began his killing spree in the 1960s in Northern California, killing at least 5 people, potentially as many as 37. And despite calling in the murders and leaving taunting letters and codes for police and newspapers, he has never been caught. Recently, a group of detectives and investigators called The Case Breakers claim to have found the true identity of the Zodiac Killer. Savannah examines the evidence pointing towards Gary Poste, and also why not everyone is so convinced.
