• True Crime This Week: Famous Kidnappings

  This week in crime history, we revisit two of the most infamous kidnappings that shocked the world. In 1973, 17-year-old John Paul Getty III, grandson of one of the world’s richest men, was freed in southern Italy after five harrowing months in captivity. His ordeal exposed the cold greed and dysfunction of America’s wealthiest family.Then, we travel back to 1927 Los Angeles, where 12-year-old Marion Parker was abducted from her school by a man posing as her father’s coworker. What followed became one of the most gruesome and sensational kidnapping cases in U.S. history.From ransom demands and ruthless criminals to media frenzy and family betrayal, host Vanessa Richardson unpacks how these two abductions defined public obsession with wealth, innocence, and the dark side of desperation.

• True Crime This Week: Music Murders

  This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson examines two killings that shook the music world — both committed by fans whose admiration turned to obsession.First, in 1980, 25-year-old Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon outside The Dakota in New York City. Once a devoted Beatles fan, Chapman’s delusions and fixation on The Catcher in the Rye pushed him to murder the very man whose music had once inspired him.Then, in 2004, heavy metal icon Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan was gunned down on stage in Columbus, Ohio, by a mentally unstable fan who believed the guitarist had betrayed him.From rock legends to metal heroes, these stories reveal how fame, fanaticism, and untreated mental illness can collide — with devastating consequences.

• True Crime This Week: Strange Disappearances

  This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson unravels two of history’s most mysterious vanishings — both stranger than fiction.First, in 1926, the “Queen of Mystery” herself, Agatha Christie, vanished after a late-night drive. Her abandoned car sparked an 11-day nationwide search that baffled police, fellow authors, and millions of readers. When she finally reappeared, Agatha claimed to remember nothing — leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries she ever created.Then, rewind to 1875, when infamous New York City politician William “Boss” Tweed escaped from jail after embezzling millions. His disappearance led to an international manhunt — and it was a political cartoon that finally brought him down.From literary legends to crooked power brokers, these disappearances prove that truth can be far more mysterious than fiction.
