3 Lindsay Clancy Trial Bombshells: The Nanny, Dear Diary and Lindsay SpeaksCriminally Obsessed2026-09-24 | 3 Lindsay Clancy Trial Bombshells: The Nanny, Dear Diary and Lindsay SpeaksMarried Couple Found Murdered At Home?! | #truecrime #murderCriminally Obsessed2026-01-02 | A shocking double-murder has police in Columbus, Ohio searching for a suspect, after a husband and wife were found shot to death inside their Weinland Park home.
Officers discovered the bodies of local dentist Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique Tepe, during a welfare check on December 30, 2025. Tepe's coworkers called 911 deeply concerned when he didn't show up for work and no one at the practice could reach him or his wife on the phone.
Authorities say there were no signs of forced entry, no weapon was recovered, and investigators do not currently believe the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide.
Two young children were inside the home at the time and were not harmed. The case remains under active investigation, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. #truecrime #murderTeen Victim of AI Fake Nude Photos EXPELLED?! | #truecrime #aischemeCriminally Obsessed2026-01-02 | When AI-generated nude images of eight middle school girls circulated among the students at a Louisiana school on August 26, 2025, the victims went to school administrators for help.
Instead, the girls were met with skepticism from school officials and their concerns were dismissed, according to a December 23 report by the Associated Press. Afterward, the images continued spreading on social media and students teased the girls relentlessly throughout the day.
The situation reached a boiling point at dismissal that afternoon when a 13-year-old girl boarded her school bus and saw a boy showing one of the fake images on his phone. The girl confronted him and then slapped the boy.
Soon after, several other students joined in on the assault, videos of which were widely shared online without the full context of the situation. Amid initial outrage over the beating caught on video, the girl was expelled from school for the remainder of the Fall 2025 term.
Several weeks later, the girl and her family were somewhat vindicated when local sheriff's investigators were able to trace the AI-generated images back to two boys at the school, both of whom were charged with crimes under a new Louisiana law for distributing sexually explicit AI materials. One boy was charged in November, and another in early December.
The local school board has since lifted the expulsion for the girl who started the attack on the bus, and she has been allowed to return to school. #truecrime #AIScandalFather Nearly BEATEN TO DEATH By Stranger?! | #truecrime #unsolvedCriminally Obsessed2025-12-31 | A 71-year-old father was nearly beaten to death while walking his dog. In Phoenix, Arizona, Jeff Zimmerman was attacked by a stranger on a bike. The attack was so brutal that it left Zimmerman with severe head injuries, multiple broken bones and trauma to his right eye. The injuries compounded Zimmerman’s ongoing treatment for a brain tumor. Luckily two witnesses were able to get Zimmerman’s attacker off of him and called for help. Phoenix Police say charges have been submitted in the case, but investigators have not released any information about the suspect, including his name or age. The victim’s family says he did not know his attacker, and police have described the assault as random. #truecrime #unsolvedTeen Went Missing on Christmas Eve?! | #truecrime #missingCriminally Obsessed2025-12-30 | A 19-year-old woman named Camila Olmos has been missing for nearly a week after she left her San Antonio home early on Christmas Eve.
Surveillance footage shows her walking away from her house around 7 a.m., and newly found dash camera video later captured her about two blocks away along Wildhorse Parkway. Authorities say this footage gives the clearest indication yet of the direction she was heading.
Camila’s mother told investigators that early morning walks were normal for her, but this time she never returned. Since that morning, there have been no confirmed sightings.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has expanded the search, asking nearby residents to review security footage. Multiple agencies, including the FBI, Homeland Security, mounted patrols and sheriff cadets, are now assisting.
Investigators noted she had been under personal stress related to school and a recent breakup and are still considering multiple possibilities in the case.
Anyone with information about Camila Olmos’ whereabouts is urged to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at 210-335-6000. Residents in the area are also encouraged to review any doorbell or surveillance footage from the morning of Christmas Eve that may help investigators.75-Year-Old Woman ATTACKED ON THE STREET And BLINDED?! | #truecrimeCriminally Obsessed2025-12-30 | A 75-year-old woman has lost the use of her right eye after she was randomly attacked by a man on the street. In Seattle, Jeanette Marken was hit in the face with a wooden plank while waiting to cross the street. Marken’s eye was gouged out by a screw lodged into the plank. Police then arrested 42-year-old Fale Vaigalepa Pea, who was found still holding the suspected weapon. Police say Pea is a regular troublemaker in the area who’s known for punching his victims and has already been arrested eight times this year. He is now charged with assault in the first degree and is expected to appear for a competency hearing later this month. #truecrimeWas Ruby Franke Brainwashed? – Jodi Hildebrandt Tactics DissectedCriminally Obsessed2025-12-29 | Vlogging and life coaching were lucrative businesses for #RubyFranke and #JodiHildebrandt.

On December 6, 2009, 28-year-old Susan disappeared from her Utah home. Her purse, phone and keys were left behind.
Her husband, Josh Powell, was named a person of interest, but no charges were filed. Just weeks after Susan went missing, Josh moved their two sons, 4-year-old Charlie and 2-year-old Braden to live with his father, Steven Powell, in Puyallup, Washington.
Steven was later convicted of voyeurism and possession of CSAM after police uncovered thousands of secret recordings, including videos of Susan. It was revealed later that Steven was obsessed with his daughter-in-law.
Then, on February 5, 2012, the case took a devastating turn. Watch to learn more. _______________ ABOUT Criminally Obsessed is first on the scene, uniting fellow armchair detectives in their quest to crack the case.
The girl was practicing soccer with friends at a field near her apartment complex when the man allegedly approached her on a bike. The man said, "Come here little girl," and grabbed her wrist and cellphone.
The girl started fighting him off and screamed, "I'm being kidnapped!" to which he allegedly responded, "Shut up!"
She was able to get away by kicking him in the genitals as hard as she could. She then ran towards the apartments.
Police arrested the man, identified as 31-year-old Jerson Hartman, of Twin Falls, Idaho.
Officers noted the girl had red marks on her wrists from the incident.
Hartman made his initial court appearance December 23 on charges of attempted kidnapping, attempted robbery, and possession of a controlled substance. #predator #truecrimeWho Killed Eric Tamiyasu?! | #truecrime #unsolvedCriminally Obsessed2025-12-28 | Eric Tamiyasu was killed in his Hood River, Oregon home in June 2001, yet nearly 25 years later the case remains unresolved, leaving his family still searching for answers.
Although his death was quickly ruled a homicide, the investigation has long been criticized for unusual decisions that may have hindered progress. Most notably, authorities ordered the mattress where Eric was found to be destroyed within a day of the discovery, a move the former sheriff said was meant to spare the family further distress.
Friends and relatives say Eric had been living alone in a newly built home, often left his doors unlocked, and was casually dating at the time, though little is known about those relationships.
The case is now considered cold and is not actively investigated, though it is undergoing review by a major crimes team that did not exist at the time of the killing. #coldcase #truecrimeFamily Sends Message to DAUGHTERS KILLER | #truecrime #victimimpactCriminally Obsessed2025-12-27 | A South Carolina man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison after pleading guilty to the murder and kidnapping of his ex-girlfriend, 30-year-old Jamilla Smith.
Smith, a mother of two from Aiken County, South Carolina, disappeared in December 2023. Her body was later found in a wooded area in a shallow grave.
Daniel Harmon, her reportedly abusive ex, lied to investigators for months about her whereabouts. A chilling 911 call the night of her disappearance indicated Harmon had hit her with his vehicle then forced her into the trunk before later shooting her multiple times.
Despite initially refusing to cooperate, Harmon eventually led authorities to her body and admitted his role in the crime. Two other men have also been charged for their alleged involvement in helping dispose of evidence and the victim’s remains.
Jamilla Smith leaves behind two small children. Her family said they did not accept Harmon's apology at his sentencing hearing on December 19, and did not find it sincere. #truecrime #victimimpactMan BIT OFF Relatives Finger During Family WEDDING?! | #truecrimeCriminally Obsessed2025-12-26 | A wedding day near Oxford, England was ruined after a guest was arrested for biting off someone's finger. In May of 2023, Daniel Peasnell was celebrating his 31st birthday by drinking heavily the entire day. He later went to his friend’s wedding, where he got into an argument about how much he had been drinking. When he tried to attack the groom, the groom’s uncle stepped in to stop the fight, but this only led to Peasnell biting the man’s finger off. Police then arrived and subdued Peasnell who threatened to bite off one of the officer’s noses. Peasnell was charged with fighting in a public space and threatening an officer and on December 21, 2025, was sentenced to five years in prison. #truecrimeElizabeth Smart Shares Recovery — My Heart Didnt Match My BrainCriminally Obsessed2025-12-26 | “It’s okay to grieve the life you feel like was lost to you.” Elizabeth Smart speaks from experience, and she believes telling stories helps people understand.

California authorities have arrested her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, and charged her with first-degree murder after forensic, ballistic, and DNA evidence linked her to the killing. Sheriff’s officials say the investigation uncovered deliberate efforts to conceal Melodee’s whereabouts during a multi-state trip, and they believe the child was killed in early October.

Blaine McGraw, a military OB-GYN, is at the center of what some officials are calling one of the largest sexual assault investigations in U.S. military history.
The first allegation against McGraw was reported Oct. 17, 2025, at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas, after a patient told authorities he secretly recorded her during a medical exam.
Col. Kamil Sztalkoper, Fort Hood’s director of public affairs, said the Army Criminal Investigation Division responded within an hour and immediately opened an investigation. The Army suspended McGraw from clinical duties later that day.
Prosecutors allege McGraw secretly recorded at least 44 women during intimate exams between January and December 2025. He faces charges that include indecent visual recording, willful disobedience of a superior officer, and making a false official statement.

Marie Locklear, 74, had been shot and was in the hospital — where she would later die.
The suspect is a violent felon named Cheyenne Woods. Authorities say Woods hijacked an ambulance at gunpoint after making a bogus 911 call, then crashed the emergency vehicle into Marie Locklear's car as he sped down the rural roads between Pembroke and Lumberton, North Carolina.
After the crash, Woods got out and inexplicably opened fire on Locklear in what Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins calls a "senseless act of murder." She leaves behind a large family who are devastated by her killing.
Locklear's family was in attendance on Monday, December 15, as a magistrate denied bond for their mother's alleged murderer and apparent career criminal. Court records show Woods was released in 2022 after serving only five years of a 15-year sentence for second-degree murder, and was previously convicted of armed robber in a case in which he was also initially charged with murder.
Woods remains in jail and faces over a dozen felony charges related to the latest incident. #truecrimeMissing Teen FOUND DEAD?! | #truecrimeCriminally Obsessed2025-12-20 | North Carolina teen, 18-year-old Joseph Rose, was found dead in a creek on Friday, Dec. 12.

The prosecution argued Hernandez deliberately left her children in the car for hours, prioritizing her spa visit over their safety. They argued she knew the risks, ignored them, and caused Amilio’s death, meeting the standard for second-degree murder.
The defense argued Hernandez was negligent but did not act with the intent or “implied malice” required for murder. They argued she mistakenly believed the car’s air conditioning would stay on and accepted responsibility for child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter, but denied murder.
After two days of deliberations, the jury convicted Hernandez of one count of child abuse but deadlocked on second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Sentencing for the child abuse charge is set for January 12, 2026, and prosecutors have not announced whether they will retry her on the other charges. #truecrime #patheticparentsNick Reiners 3 Potential Defense Strategies — Alan Jackson Leading DefenseCriminally Obsessed2025-12-18 | What will Nick Reiner’s defense strategy be now that he’s got Alan Jackson as his attorney?

"I have a son also, I have nephews also. I feel it," he explained. "I thought their mother, their father, or maybe they’re gonna say Mr. Hossian, sorry."

Authorities ruled the primary cause of death as a fentanyl overdose, with drowning listed as a possible contributing factor. Alice does not believe her daughter ended up in the creek on her own and questions why no one called 911 if Meagan overdosed, believing her body was intentionally hidden.
Almost seven years later, the case remains unsolved. As holidays approach, the grief continues for Meagan’s family. Cooper now relies on photos and stories to help Meagan’s children remember their mother and continues to publicly ask for information that could explain what happened.
Boone County Sheriff Chad Barker says the investigation is still active and believes someone knows more about Meagan’s death. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward in hopes of finally bringing answers to her family. #unsolved #victimimpactDramatic Rooftop Rescue CAUGHT ON CAMERA | #rescue #floridaCriminally Obsessed2025-12-17 | Bodycam video shows the heart-stopping rescue of an elderly Tampa, Florida man who slipped on his roof and was left dangling three stories above the ground.

In 1993, Adam Emery was convicted of killing Jason Bass in a case that combined mistaken identity, road rage, self defense, and a disappearing act. After his conviction, Emery was sent home and told to wear an ankle monitoring device until sentencing. Instead, that night he vanished. His car was found abandoned on top of the Newport Bridge, and he and his wife were nowhere to be found. Did they fake their deaths or did they jump?
It was anyone's guess until Elena Emery's skull was found months later, but Adam's remains have never been recovered. Some believe he fled the country without Elena but others believe the two went into the water together. What do you think?

They found her and could not believe searchers had not discovered the missing pregnant woman’s body. They said it was 12 to 15 feet off the road, and you couldn’t miss her white face. They knew it was her from the tattoo above her eyebrow. Because of the condition of her body and drag marks, they actually think she may have been recently placed there. What do you think?

A Michigan woman, Janice Johnson, picked up her dog from a groomer and was shocked to find his ears and tail dyed bright green—something she had explicitly said she did not want. After nearly seven hours with no updates, Johnson discovered the color was permanent and wouldn’t wash out.
When confronted, groomer Leandra Boyles admitted she dyed RJ without permission, saying it was “better to ask for forgiveness than permission” and that surprising clients helps grow her business. Johnson felt her dog had been turned into an unwanted “art project,” and with no real oversight in the grooming industry, she posted her experience online to warn others.
Boyles later refunded her and apologized, but Johnson may be stuck with a green dog for up to a year. #animalcrimesBrian Walshe Found GUILTY of First-Degree Murder | #truecrime #breakingnews #brianwalsheCriminally Obsessed2025-12-15 | A Massachusetts jury found Brian Walshe guilty Monday, December 15, of first-degree murder in the 2023 death of his wife, Ana Walshe.
Ana Walshe vanished from their home on New Year’s Day. Investigators argued Brian Walshe killed her, then dismembered her body and discarded her remains in various places. Her body was never found.
Prosecutors pointed to chilling internet searches Brian Walshe made before her disappearance about dismembering a body and cleaning blood, along with evidence he lied about her traveling for work.
Brian Walshe later admitted he dismembered and disposed of her body — a fact supported by surveillance camera footage — but claimed he didn't kill her. Rather, Brian Walshe claimed he panicked after finding her dead in bed.
Brian Walshe is facing life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17. #truecrime #brianwalshe _______________ ABOUT Criminally Obsessed is first on the scene, uniting fellow armchair detectives in their quest to crack the case.

Martin County Sheriff's Office investigators say a crew of burglars cut a hole in the roof of the Treasure Coast Mall the night of October 21, 2025, and spent hours emptying the store of high-dollar shoes like Jordans. But now Sheriff John Budensiek says the thieves are trading Jordans for jail-issue slippers after investigators busted four members of an alleged multi-state sneaker bandit ring. Budensiek says the four people involved in the October heist gave themselves away when they stopped for energy drinks at a convenience store after leaving the crime scene. Police then traced their license plate and uncovered their involvement in identical burglaries stretching from Florida to Mississippi. Authorities set up a sting and caught the four suspects in the act of trying to pull off a similar sneaker burglary on November 17 outside the Volusia Mall. Keiko Davis, Christopher McCray, and Jimmel Raiford were arrested on site, while Tyrone Howard was caught days later. All four are now awaiting transfer to Martin County to face charges. #truecrimeExplosiv Tesla Fire RESCUE Caught on Camera | #caughtoncamera #heroesCriminally Obsessed2025-12-13 | A Virginia State Trooper and several good Samaritans helped pull a man from a burning vehicle the morning of December 5 after a crash along I-95.
The trooper spotted a 2024 Tesla Model Y off the side of the road that had struck a tree. As he stopped to check on the driver, the Tesla caught fire. The vehicle’s doors were allegedly locked and would not open.
The trooper broke the window, cut through the airbag and, with the assistance of bystanders, pulled the driver from the burning car.
Police say the driver sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
Investigators are looking into winter weather conditions as a possible factor. The crash remains under investigation. #caughtoncamera$3.5K Worth of Jewelry Stolen Using Square App Scheme | #truecrime #heistsCriminally Obsessed2025-12-12 | A clever scam allowed two men to walk out of a Rhode Island jewelry store with $3,500 worth of jewelry police say they didn't pay for. Providence Police say the two men walked into the Copacetic Rudely Elegant jewelry store on December 2, and discussed a purchase with the owner, Donald Beohner. According to Boehner, the man making the purchase used the Square payment app to finalize the sale. Meanwhile, Beohner said the second man started distracting him. "When they touched their phone, they were able to touch my phone and change the setting on it and make it so it looked like a cash sale rather than a credit card, but the approval came in just like it was a Square approval," Beohner said. Less than an hour after they were at Copacetic, surveillance video in front of Jade Jewelry, about ten minutes away, appears to show the same men entering the store. There, they tried to sell their stolen jewelry, but were turned away. At this moment, no arrests have been made in relation to the case. #truecrime#RebeccaParks Adopted Mother Speaks Out About Her Death | #truecrimeCriminally Obsessed2025-12-12 | “My daughter was tortured when she was alive."
