How many times have we heard this story: an underage girl dates an older guy, her parents have concerns, and the girl decides her parents have to go? Enough that it’s become a true crime trope, even though it’s actually pretty rare. I mean, only about 2% of all homicides are parricides and “virtually all existing literature” shows that nearly 90% of parricide offenders are boys. But in today’s episode, I’m gonna tell you about two girls who saw their parents as obstacles, keeping them from what they wanted most.

One tragic night in 2007 leaves a family devastated.

Harvey Robinson's rape and murder streak began when he was 17 years old, making him one of the youngest serial killers in American history.

No body, no crime - right? This was the first body-less murder conviction in Connecticut.

The story of a hideous crime and the idiots who committed it.

In June of this year, Virginia State Police launched an online, searchable cold case database. State Delegate Danica Roem – a Democrat representing Prince William County – introduced HB 1024, which “requires the Superintendent of State Police to establish and maintain a searchable electronic database of cold cases, available to the public through the Department of State Police official website.”

Right now, the website only features cases investigated by state police but will later include cold case submissions from local law enforcement agencies throughout the Commonwealth.

Today I’m going to share 25 local cold cases that aren’t in the database yet. In some of them, hardly any information is available. In others, there’s so much that I’ve added them to the list of cases I’d like to do full episodes on. Either way, please don’t tune out. These are people who were ripped from their loved ones, whose families and friends are still suffering. They deserve to be known, heard, and remembered.

The ocean is vast... but so are the depths of human depravity.
