IN THIS EPISODE: In a case that shocked Tehachapi, California, the murder of Robert Limon unraveled into a sordid tale of open marriage, religious awakening, and deadly betrayal. What began as a seemingly random killing at a railyard soon revealed a chilling conspiracy involving Robert, his wife Sabrina, and her firefighter lover Jonathan. It’s a story of faith, infidelity, and fatal attraction. (The Deadly Trinity of Love, Faith, And Murder) *** In the heart of the Bolivian Amazon, paramedic Paul Parada's routine night shift takes an extraordinary turn when he treats an injured seven-foot-tall, pale-skinned stranger with telepathic abilities. What begins as an unusual medical emergency evolves into a close encounter of the third kind, complete with a hovering UFO and robotic alien companions. (The Medic And The Martian) *** In the early hours of a June morning in 2007, a routine newspaper delivery in Raleigh, North Carolina, stumbled upon a scene that would haunt the community for years to come. The brutal murder of Jennifer "Jenna" Nielsen, a pregnant 22-year-old mother of two, left investigators baffled and a family shattered. Since then, the trail of evidence has gone cold and a killer is still at large… and the quest for justice continues to go unfulfilled. (No Justice For Jenna) *** In the early 1900s, a charming Hungarian tinsmith named Bela Kiss concealed a horrifying secret behind his amiable facade. When authorities uncovered 24 pickled corpses in metal drums at his residence, they exposed a chilling tale of deception, murder, and possible vampirism that would haunt Hungary for decades. But the most terrifying aspect of Kiss's gruesome legacy may be that despite an intense manhunt, the "Vampire of Cinkota" vanished without a trace, leaving the world to wonder if he truly escaped justice or if his dark practices granted him an unnaturally long life. (A Different Vampire Named Bela) *** The world of Jewish folklore is chilling – with nightmarish creatures lurking in the shadows. From vampiric Estries and demonic Agrat bat Mahlat to the colossal Leviathan and the mysterious giants called Nephilim, Jewish teachings and beliefs are full of supernatural beings that have not been satisfied to only haunt the Torah… many have made their way into the world at large, invading our literature and even pop culture.
