True Crime with Kimbyr

Julie and Robin Kerry are attacked late at night on the Chain of Rocks Bridge while visiting with their cousin, Tom Cummins. Tom survives and tells police the sisters were forced into the Mississippi River, but inconsistencies in his account soon make him a focus of the investigation as authorities search for the truth.

A flashlight found on the Chain of Rocks Bridge leads investigators to four suspects whose confessions support Tom Cummins' original account. Julie Kerry's body is later recovered, while Robin remains missing. The case moves through multiple trials, convictions, appeals, and plea deals as the sisters' family continues seeking justice.

Tiffany James is ambushed outside a neighbor's apartment on Halloween night by a masked attacker who shoots her multiple times. With robbery quickly ruled out, investigators learn she believed someone had been stalking her. A black car seen following her earlier that evening, with a white hockey mask inside, becomes a chilling lead.

Investigators focus on Tiffany James' ex-husband, Daryl Williams, after uncovering a bitter custody battle and financial motive. His girlfriend's phone records place her at the scene, forcing her to admit she drove Daryl there before the shooting. Facing trial, Daryl ultimately pleads guilty to murder and receives a 20-year prison sentence.

Alona Flint and Salvatore Belvedere are shot in a San Diego mall parking lot on Christmas Eve, while Alona's fiancé, Gianni Belvedere, is nowhere to be found. Initial clues raise suspicions about his role, but weeks later his car is discovered miles away with his body hidden inside, transforming the case into a mysterious triple homicide.

DNA recovered from Gianni Belvedere's car leads investigators to Carlo Mercado, while ballistics tie his weapon to all three murders. Phone data and online searches place him near the crime scenes and deepen the case against him. After years of delays, Mercado pleads guilty to all three murders and receives three consecutive life sentences.

Cynthia Hoffman disappears after joining friends on a hike near Anchorage. Her close friend Denali Bremer soon gives police a disturbing account of Cynthia's death, while evidence reveals manipulation, destroyed belongings, and additional people connected to the crime. A search of Denali's devices suggests the killing was far more premeditated than her initial story claimed.

Investigators uncover that Denali Bremer was manipulated by catfisher Darren Schillmiller, who offered millions for a murder. Cynthia Hoffman was chosen as the target, lured to Thunderbird Falls, and killed by a group Denali helped recruit. The plot ends in multiple convictions and decades-long sentences for those involved.

Tynesha Stewart disappears while home from college for spring break, leading investigators toward her ex-boyfriend, Timothy Shepherd. Neighbors report strange smoke, burning grills, and unusual activity at his apartment, while hidden blood is later uncovered inside. Confronted with mounting evidence, Shepherd admits Tynesha is dead.

As investigators dig deeper into Tynesha Stewart's disappearance, lies and a cover-up begin to expose the truth behind her murder. Kimbyr examines shifting accounts, emerging evidence, and attempts to hide what happened, tracing how investigators worked through deception to reconstruct Tynesha's final days and determine who was responsible.

Clues hidden in Kathleen Lipscomb's diary reveal a troubling story of trust, control, and a motive that may explain her murder. Kimbyr turns to Kathleen's own words to examine the relationships and pressures surrounding her, following the clues recorded in the diary and how they changed the direction of the investigation into her death.

Kathleen Lipscomb's case deepens as diary entries, shifting timelines, and contradictions raise new questions about what happened before her death. Kimbyr compares Kathleen's written record with the evolving investigation, examining where accounts align, where they conflict, and what those gaps may reveal about the relationships and events surrounding the case.

After ending a brief relationship, Clare Bernal becomes the target of relentless stalking, threatening messages, and repeated unwanted encounters. Despite reporting her ex-boyfriend Michael Pech and his arrest for harassment, the intimidation continues. As warning signs escalate, Clare's efforts to move on are overshadowed by a threat that authorities fail to stop.

While awaiting sentencing for harassing Clare Bernal, Michael Pech travels abroad, obtains a gun, and returns to London. He later enters Harvey Nichols and murders Clare at her workplace before taking his own life. The killing raises lasting questions about ignored warning signs, bail conditions, and whether stronger intervention could have protected her.

Melanie Goodwin disappears after leaving a late-night work event and stopping at a convenience store on her way to see her boyfriend. Hours later, a burned body is found in Carrollton and surveillance captures a man using her car to dump it. Her boyfriend is cleared as investigators turn their attention to the unknown driver.

Surveillance footage helps investigators identify Ernesto Reyes as the man last seen with Melanie Goodwin. A friend later tells police Reyes admitted to the killing, while forensic evidence supports a violent attack. After fleeing to Mexico and being extradited to Texas, Reyes is convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Denise Luthold is found shot to death inside her parents' home on Valentine's Day, where investigators quickly question whether the scene was staged to look like a robbery. Suspicious details surrounding her husband deepen concern, while a personal letter in Denise's diary exposes control, humiliation, and a chilling fear that he wanted her dead.

Investigators uncover Nathan Luthold's secret relationship with a younger woman, deleted messages, suspicious searches, and evidence placing him near the crime. Gunshot residue, discarded car keys, and witness testimony strengthen the case against him. A jury ultimately finds Nathan guilty of murdering Denise, and he is sentenced to 80 years in prison.

Alexis Murphy disappears while traveling through central Virginia, leaving behind an abandoned car and no clear explanation for where she went. Investigators trace her phone activity, social media presence, and final movements along Route 29 as the FBI joins the search and detectives begin examining who may have crossed her path.

Surveillance footage leads investigators to Randy Taylor, whose camper contains Alexis Murphy's hair, blood, and other personal evidence. Her shattered phone is also found near his property, while his movements match the timeline of her disappearance. Taylor is convicted of abduction and murder, and Alexis's remains are discovered seven years later.
