Summary
This week’s Weekly Docket is heavy. We’re covering six shocking true-crime stories making headlines right now — from small-town tragedies to international headlines.
In Montana, a mother is charged with deliberate homicide after her 2-year-old son was found decomposing in a home described as “unlivable.” Then in North Carolina, a father’s 911 confession led deputies to a car trunk containing the bodies of his four children — a discovery that left an entire community reeling.
We also cover the arrest of an attorney accused of killing his tech-executive wife in Chicago, the $100 million Louvre jewel heist that stunned France, a deadly homecoming mass shooting in Leland, Mississippi, and the chaotic downtown Montgomery shootout that left two people dead after a college football weekend.
