Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Police respond to a 911 call in the high society area of the Hamptons at the Montauk Yacht Club shortly after midnight.
Martha Nolan-O'Slattarra, a fashion designer from Ireland, is found unresponsive on a boat named "Ripple." The yacht is reportedly owned by insurance mogul Christopher Durnan, 60, who was present at the scene and allegedly ran down the dock screaming for help.
The wealthy yacht owner was once accused of fighting and biting a former New York firefighter during a tribute concert, commemorating 20 years after the 9/11 terror attacks.
CPR is attempted by a good Samaritan, but first responders pronounce Martha dead at the scene. Initial autopsy results showed no signs of violence. As rumors swirl of drug overdose, Martha's family strongly denies those claims and rumors of brain cancer by hiring attorney Arthur Aidala to ensure a thorough investigation is performed.
The official cause of death is inconclusive. Still no charges in the case, but the yacht owner has been hit with a multimillion dollar wrongful death suit.

Madi Brooks, 19, leaves Reggie’s Bar with four young men who offer to give her a ride home.
A few blocks from the bar, the driver pulls over and starts to video as the two men in the backseat ‘have sex’ with an extremely intoxicated Brooks. Afterward, Brooks cannot tell the men her address and, according to them, insists on getting out of the car. Just before 3 a.m., a Lyft driver strikes something in the road. It’s Madi Brooks. She dies of her injuries at a hospital.
The four men have been charged in this case, three of them with third-degree rape, and one is charged as a principal to third-degree rape, which means he was present for the alleged crime, but did nothing to stop it.
Reportedly, there are concerns that District Judge Gail Horne Ray will not remain neutral while presiding over the trial of Madison Brooks’ four alleged rapists. Last year, Judge Ray reduced an accused rapist’s bail without allowing prosecutors to argue against the decision.
Just last month, Ray moved to overturn a 1972 rape conviction when asked to consider allowing the convict parole. Her son, Nelson Taylor Jr., is also a convicted serial rapist.

A man got a great deal on a home in Connecticut at a home foreclosure auction. There was one catch - the home was sold "As-Is", none of the bidders were allowed to see the inside of the home before bidding. Edward A. Marchion of Newington, Connecticut, purchased the home at 7 Stanwich lane, Burlington, Connecticut, by bidding $525,000 at a court ordered foreclosure auction on June 6, 2026. On June 14, the new homeowner opened the doors to his new home, and new nightmares for the rest of his life! Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at how a great deal on a house turned out to be a great big nightmare when the new owner finds the home still occupied - by three skeletons!
