MURDERED: Rivera/Martinez (Prime Time True Crime)

On June 24, 2019, 28-year-old Alyssa Marie Torres shot and killed her 54-year-old stepfather, Felix Rivera, and her 8-year-old daughter, Amarilyss Martinez, at their Port St. Lucie, Florida home. She had been staying at her parents house for several months. Alyssa used a handgun she’d taken from her stepfather’s closet and waited until a little after midnight to shoot him once in the head from the foot of his bed. The shot immediately woke her 53-year-old mother, Marisol Rivera, who suffered injuries to her head and face during a brutal pistol-whipping, but luckily, none were life threatening. Alyssa then ran down a hallway and shot Amarilyss in the head. After the murders, she fled the scene in her Toyota Rav 4. Alyssa was located in nearby Fort Pierce, about 8 miles from her parent's home, and arrested without incident, after a brief manhunt. She admitted to the killings and was charged with two counts of murder and one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Alyssa Torres pled guilty to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to three life terms without the possibility of parole on December 4, 2020. Mental health issues were cited as the cause for the murders.

MURDERED: Alexis Gabe (Prime Time True Crime)

On January 26, 2022, 24-year-old Alexis Gabe went missing. Her family filed a missing person's report when she wasn't answering messages. The police determined that Alexis was last seen with her ex-boyfriend, Marshall Jones. The couple had broken up, but Marshall was reportedly distraught and threatened to kill Alexis and himself if she didn't get back together with him. Through the use of forensic, electronic, and DNA evidence, investigators concluded that Jones had killed Gabe the same night she disappeared, at his residence in Antioch, California. Despite not having a body, a warrant went out for his arrest. On June 1, 2022, Jones was located at a house in Kent, Washington, after being on the run from the police. When the police attempted to apprehend him, he aggressively charged at them with a knife and was shot and killed. In November, 2022, a resident of Plymouth, California, stumbled upon human remains, which were later identified as those of Alexis Gabe. Unfortunately, only a portion of her body was ever recovered, and due to its condition, the manner of death could not be determined.

On November 9, 1971, 46-year-old John List took the lives of his entire family and disappeared for years. After sending the kids off to school, John shot his wife Helen in the back of the head while she drank her morning coffee. Next, he went up to the attic and shot his mother, Alma above her left eye. Patricia and Frederick were next, their lives taken when they arrived home from school. Then John left to watch his remaining son, John Frederick, play a soccer game. After driving him home, John took his son’s life. He wrote a lengthy letter to his pastor, claiming he did it to save his family’s souls. He took off the next morning, changing his identity to Robert “Bob” Clark, and began a new life. He settled in Denver, Colorado, where he would meet his new wife, Delores Miller, and move to Virginia. 18 years after the family's annihilation, the TV show America’s Most Wanted aired an episode on the case, showing a clay bust of John.

MURDERED: Anna Repkina (Prime Time True Crime)

Anna Repkina, a 27-year-old Russian native, was found dead on a seldom-used logging road in Benton County, Oregon, on April 17, 2017. She had been shot in the back of her head at close range with a shotgun. Surrounding Anna's body were fast food bags, cigarette cartons, candy wrappers, and a Kentucky Fried Chicken receipt. That receipt led police to her killer, her American fiancé, William Hargrove. Anna had met William online and visited him in Oregon during Christmas. They got engaged, but unbeknownst to Anna, William was having an affair with Michelle Chavez, the married woman he rented a room from. When Michelle discovered William's relationship with Anna, she demanded that he choose between them. William made his decision and borrowed a shotgun from a friend, using it to murder Anna. He then took money from her bank account to buy Star Wars LEGOs and searched the internet for ways to time travel and undo his actions. Three days after Anna's murder, William was arrested when that same friend informed the police about the love triangle. Despite his claims of innocence, William Hargrove was convicted of first-degree murder in 2019 and sentenced to life in prison.

MURDERED: Brian Cherry (Prime Time Crime)

In 1993, 23-year-old Peter Bryan beat 20-year-old Nisha Sheth with a hammer unprompted while she was working in her parents' clothing shop.

As a result, he was sent to Rampton Secure Hospital.

After making what doctors called "considerable progress," he was moved to the care of a psychiatrist and social worker in 2001.

On February 17, 2004, he was discharged entirely from the mental health unit.

He would proceed to murder his friend, 43-year-old Brian Cherry, that very same day.

He had purchased a claw hammer and a screwdriver, with which he inflicted injuries to Brian's head, face, and chest.

He then chopped off Brian’s limbs.

Peter went on to fry Brian’s brain and eat it.

He was convicted of murder and was transferred to different medical hospitals before settling in Broadmoor.

It was here that he would again take the life of another patient, 59-year-old Richard Loudwell.

In April, 2004, Peter beat Richard's head into the ground and wrapped the cord from his pajamas around his neck.

Richard would never wake up, and he passed away on June 8th.

Though he was originally sentenced to life, this was overturned, and his sentence was changed to 15 years minimum.

MISSING: Alexis Scott (Prime Time True Crime)

On September 22, 2017, 20-year-old mother Alexis Scott disappeared from a house party in Peoria, Illinois. She was dropped off by a cab driver, who reported that a man paid her fare and greeted her at the door. On September 27, Alexis' mother reported her missing. Investigators believe Alexis arrived at the party around 5 am and left shortly after. Her cell phone activity stopped at 5:08 am. The police interviewed neighbors, searched the house where the party was, and searched vacant houses in the area, but found no clues about Alexis' whereabouts. She had recently traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, to work as a dancer and earn extra money. Unfortunately, she fell victim to sex trafficking and was taken to Sacramento, California. She managed to escape and was found by a woman on the street. After contacting her mother, she returned to Peoria, intending to resume her normal life. Police learned that the man she went to Las Vegas with knows the owner of the house where the party was held. They fear she may have been trafficked again. Unfortunately, her case remains unsolved.

MURDERED: Tasha Lucia (Prime Time True Crime)

On February 10, 2013, 25-year-old Tasha Lucia didn't show up for work at Locklear's Beach City Grill in Charleston, South Carolina. Two friends of Tasha's became worried, so they went to Tasha's home to check on her. After no one answered the door, one friend boosted the other through a window. The two girls found Tasha's live-in boyfriend, Robert Kronsberg, asleep in a bedroom. They tried waking him but when he wouldn't wake up, they searched another bedroom and found Tasha dead in a bed with a knife in her chest. They quickly left the apartment and called 911. When police arrived, Robert was still asleep. He was arrested, and he charged with murder. Robert pleaded not guilty. During the trial, evidence was presented showing that on the night of the murder, Robert and Tasha had an argument. This led to a physical altercation where Robert hit and strangled Tasha before stabbing her fifteen times with a butcher's knife. The defense argued that Robert's actions were fueled by alcohol and lack of control. However, the jury found Robert guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. On December 6, 2017, Robert Kronsberg was found dead in his cell, having taken his own life at the Broad River Correctional Institution.

MURDERED: Alexa Randolph (Prime Time True Crime)

On January 28, 2021, 32-year-old Alexa Randolph was reported missing when she supposedly failed to pick up her son from 60-year-old Gary Smith's home. Smith is the paternal grandfather of Alexa's son. By using cell phone data, detectives determined that Alexa had recently been at the Gary's house. He immediately became a person of interest. The following day, January 29th, pings from Alexa's cell phone led police to a Walmart on Hornbeck Road, in Morgantown, West Virginia. Alexa's SUV was located there and her lifeless body was found in the trunk. Surveillance footage obtained from Walmart showed an individual resembling Smith leaving the parking lot. An autopsy determined Alexa died of asphyxia and blunt force trauma, which was consistent with the large amount of blood evidence found in Smith’s garage. Gary's DNA was also found under Alexa's fingernails, indicating a struggle. On October 5, 2021, Smith elected to enter an Alford plea in connection with the case. By doing so, he admitted the prosecution had enough evidence to convict him while not admitting his guilt. The plea will also allow Smith to have a chance for parole after 15 years behind bars. He is currently awaiting sentencing and faces life in prison.

David was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. In 2007, he was released from prison and granted a new trial. In 2009, his defense team argued that his father Robin had killed the family, killed himself, and spared David's life. David was found not guilty on all charges.
