In 2010, Umi Southworth was found brutally assaulted and concealed beneath a box spring in a wooded area behind her Lexington, Kentucky, home. The investigation would become particularly complicated when forensic evidence appeared difficult to reconcile with both the investigative findings and the behavior observed in the case.

In Part 1 of 3, we walk through the timeline, examine the crime scene and physical evidence, and discuss what the scene may tell us about what happened to Umi.

When Binghamton University student, Haley Anderson, stopped answering her friends’ texts, they knew something was very wrong. A subsequent search revealed Haley was dead in a mutual friend’s apartment. But this friend was nowhere to be found.

In late September 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules that had been deliberately contaminated with cyanide. The deaths triggered a massive multiagency investigation, a nationwide recall, and changes to product packaging that remain with us today.

In Part 1, we go over the timeline of the poisonings, examine how investigators discovered the connection between the deaths, and look at what they learned about where and how the Tylenol may have been contaminated. We also begin our discussion of possible motivation, including what the choice of Tylenol itself may tell us about the offender. Part 1 of 3.

In Part 3 of our analysis of the 1975 murder of Deborah “Debbie” Sue Williamson, cold case investigator Jen Bucholtz and investigative journalist George Jared join us once again. We finish our discussion of Debbie’s victimology and then bring together what we’ve learned from the crime scene, timeline, and victimology to develop a behavioral profile of the person responsible for her murder.

Finally, Jen and George ask us some remaining questions about the case and how our analysis might be used to help evaluate and prioritize potential suspects in this nearly 51-year-old investigation.

Single mom Eileen Zarlenga disappeared from her home on a cold night in March 1988, taking her coat, boots, and purse, but leaving behind her three-year-old daughter. Eileen remained missing for 4 days, and when she was found, it was not good news.

The question of who stabbed the young mother over and over and left her body in a remote patch of woods in Mahoning County, OH would haunt generations of investigators.

When DNA was detected on sexual assault kit swabs, it did not get investigators any closer to an answer. And when IGG came along and was used to identify Eileen’s attacker, real answers remained elusive. Eileen’s case is closed, but you won’t see the end of this one coming.
