On May 8th of 2019, 15-year-old High School freshman Riley Crossman was reported missing.

Community members searched for days, to  eventually discover her body decomposing along the side of a road in West Virginia.

Andy Jackson McCalley Jr., the boyfriend of Riley’s mother, was taken into custody hours later.

McCalley is charged with death of a child by custodian and concealment of a deceased human body.

Chandler Halderson is accused of killing and dismembering his father, Bart Halderson, and his mother, Krista Halderson.

Chandler initially reported his parents missing, claiming they didn’t return from a weekend trip.

The remains of Chandler’s father Bart were soon found, and the remains of his mother Krista, were found a few days later in a different location.

Prosecutors say Chandler killed his parents on July 1, 2021 after his father discovered he'd been lying about attending College.

It turned out the Chandler had woven a web of lies to not only his parents, but to his girlfriend and practically everyone he knew.

Chandler lied not only about attending college, but falsified years of emails that were supposedly correspondence from college officials. Chandler lied that he worked for American Family Insurance and as a scuba diver, and lied about being offered a position at aerospace company SpaceX

When Chandler’s web of deceit began to come unraveled, he made some very bad decisions.

Chandler is charged with two counts of first degree intentional homicide.

Jason Cleereman, 54, and his wife, Evanjelina, were driving from a tavern on the night of September 22, 2020. Evanjelina, who was driving, testified that she had to swerve when Edgecomb, 32, on a bicycle, rushed westbound Brady Street from the sidewalk. Edgecomb asserts that the car driven by Evanjelina actually hit him, and that Jason yelled a racial slur at him.

As the Cleeremans were stopped in Holton Street, Edgecomb rode up behind them, pulled up near the passenger door, asked Cleereman if he had spoken to him, and then punched him in the face after Cleereman replied “yes”.

Surveillance video stills of the shooter were identified by a neighbor as Theodore Edgecomb.

The Cleeremans pulled their car over near Edgecomb as he cycled north over the Holton Street Bridge. Cleereman got out of the car and walked towards Edgecomb who had moved up to stairs that lead down to Swing Park on Water Street, below the bridge. When Cleereman got within about 3 feet, Edgecomb fired a single shot which killed Cleereman.

Edgecomb left town and was not arrested until about six months later after a traffic stop in Kentucky.

Edgecomb was on bail for two pending cases at the time of the shooting. As a condition of bail in each case, Edgecomb was not allowed to have a firearm. On the first day of the trial, he pleaded guilty to two counts of jumping bail which had been charged in addition to the homicide charge.

The trial took place in January 2022, and the Milwaukee County jury took about 2 1/2 hours to find Theodore Edgecomb guilty of first-degree reckless homicide for killing immigration attorney Jason Cleereman in the 2020 road rage incident.

The verdict came about 30 minutes after the jury asked to review police surveillance video of the Holton Street Bridge shooting, which the jurors had already seen many times during the trial.

Edgecomb faces a sentence of up to 60 years. Sentencing is scheduled for April 8th, 2022. 

Dharun Ravi set up a webcam in the dorm room he shared with Tyler Clementi and secretly viewed a private romantic encounter between Clementi and another man, identified as MB.

On the evening of September 19, 2010, Ravi set up his webcam setup angled towards the bed of his roommate, Clementi, and accessed the webcam from the computer of another student, Molly Wei. Ravi and Wei viewed Clementi’s liaison, observing Clementi and his guest. Following the viewing Ravi tweeted about the encounter to his 150 followers.

Clementi saw Ravi’s tweets the next day, including one that read “Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay”.

Clementi later filled out an online form requesting a room change, reporting that his roommate had spied on him with a webcam, and talked to resident advisor about

Ravi planned to film a second encounter and made tweets advertising his plans. However, despite these plans, the second viewing never went ahead

Clementi died by suicide on September 22, 2010. That night, he went to the George Washington Bridge and at 8:42 p.m. posted the status update on Facebook “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry.”

Certain documents found on Clementi’s computer, including a suicide note, were not turned over to the defense because Ravi was not charged with causing Clementi’s death.

In this 2012 trial, Ravi was convicted on 15 counts of bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and evidence tampering.

In September 2016, A three-judge panel overturned the convictions because of a change in state law made after Ravi was convicted. The change concerned the bias intimidation law, which the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional.

Although the appeals court overturned Ravi’s conviction, the judges were critical of what he’d done. The judges wrote that:

The social environment that transformed a private act of sexual intimacy into a grotesque voyeuristic spectacle must be unequivocally condemned in the strongest possible way. The fact that this occurred in a university dormitory, housing first-year college students, only exacerbates our collective sense of disbelief and disorientation. All of the young men and women who had any association with this tragedy must pause to reflect and assess whether this experience has cast an indelible moral shadow on their character.
