10 to Life

In the middle of the afternoon, while a little girl played quietly downstairs on her iPad, something unthinkable was unfolding upstairs. A frantic 911 call reported that an intruder had broken in and stabbed a mother in her own bedroom. By the time police arrived, one person was dead, another was fighting for her life, and the two adults in the home were left trying to explain what had just happened. At first, it sounded like a tragic home invasion in broad daylight. But as investigators dug deeper, whispers of a secret affair, hidden online messages, and a plan no one saw coming began to surface. Now, with this viral trial captivating the internet and explosive testimony coming out in court, the Virginia Au Pair Murders case is forcing everyone to ask: was this self defense, or something far more calculated?

In part 1 of this exclusive collaboration with Serial Killers & Murderous Minds, I help introduce a chilling murder-for-hire scheme orchestrated by Brenda Delgado, who targeted Kendra after she began dating her former boyfriend. What unfolded was a carefully planned crime driven by jealousy, obsession, and control.
After the story, I sit down with forensic psychologist Dr. Tristin Engels to analyze the psychological motivations behind the murder, breaking down what drives someone to outsource violence and how emotional fixation can escalate into something deadly.
Be sure to follow Serial Killers & Murderous Minds for Part 2 and more in-depth psychological analysis of true crime cases.

After Bryan Kohberger admitted to murdering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this case is once again sending shockwaves through the true crime world. Newly unsealed records are exposing chilling new details about the brutality of the killings, while fresh debate is erupting over possible motive, whether parts of the crime scene could have been staged, and what may have never come out without a trial. At the same time, the victims’ families are now taking aggressive legal action that could reveal what warning signs may have existed before the murders ever happened…

At a busy shopping centre in Kent, a young woman climbed into her car after the gym, unaware she was being watched. Minutes later, 23-year-old Molly McLaren was dead, killed in an attack so brutal it stunned even seasoned investigators. Her ex-boyfriend had been watching, waiting, and when the moment came, everything changed in an instant. What led a young man to such a frenzied act? And how could warning signs go so tragically unnoticed?

In March 2018, 25-year-old Samantha Sperry disappeared in rural Kentucky after spending time with her boyfriend and his father. What began as an ordinary outing quickly spiraled into a baffling mystery. Conflicting stories about an argument, a night spent in the woods, and the last moment Samantha was seen walking in a different direction left investigators searching for answers. Her abandoned car, missing phone, and troubling behavior from those closest to her raised quiet red flags. Despite searches by law enforcement, Samantha was never found, and years later, her disappearance remains a haunting question mark. What really happened to Samantha Sperry?
