This week’s Weekly Docket covers six major true crime cases making headlines right now. First, we break down the arrest of Florida nurse Rene Perez in the brutal killing of his coworker and affair partner Linda Campitelli, a case investigators say was solved through WhatsApp messages, surveillance footage, and cellphone data. Then we head to Hall County, Georgia, where beloved teacher and coach Jason Hughes was killed during a senior prank gone tragically wrong. We get into the “Junior-Senior Wars” context, the charges against student Jayden Wallace, and the emotional response from Hughes’ family. Next, we cover the Utah trial of nurse Meggan Sundwall, who is accused of convincing her friend Kacee Terry that she had terminal cancer before allegedly killing her with an insulin overdose in what prosecutors describe as a years-long manipulation scheme. We also discuss the heartbreaking case out of Queensland, Australia, where Kate Paterson and her 1-year-old daughter April were found dead after the child’s father, Blake Seers, was hit by a car while fleeing. From there, we move to Queens, New York, where Rupchand Simboo, 75, is accused of murdering his 34-year-old wife Salisha Ali and scattering her dismembered remains across multiple locations over several months. And finally, we break down the federal terrorism case involving Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, the two Pennsylvania teens accused of planning an ISIS-inspired bomb attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City.

In 1992, the brutal murder of an 18-year-old young woman shocked a quiet English community and sent police searching for a violent, experienced predator. The crime scene suggested someone dangerous, deliberate, and deeply sadistic — but the investigation would eventually uncover a truth no one was prepared to face. This episode explores a case that defies expectations and challenges long-held assumptions about violence, psychology, and where evil comes from. It’s a story about how investigators got it wrong for years, how warning signs went unnoticed, and how one young woman’s life was reduced to evidence — while the person responsible hid in plain sight. Some cases force us to ask uncomfortable questions.This is one of them.

When Christine Banfield was brutally attacked inside her own home, her husband Brendan claimed he had interrupted a violent intruder and acted in self-defense. But as investigators dug deeper, cracks quickly began to form in that story. What initially appeared to be a tragic home invasion soon unraveled into something far more calculated involving a hidden affair, digital evidence, and a chilling sequence of events that pointed not outward, but inward.In this episode, we take a deep dive into the murder of Christine Banfield and the death of Joseph Ryan, examining how a seemingly ordinary family life masked a web of deception, manipulation, and motive and how investigators ultimately pieced together what really happened inside that Fairfax County home.

In 2000, Sarah Pender was convicted in connection with the murders of her roommates, Andrew Cataldi and Tricia Nordman, and sentenced to 110 years in prison. Prosecutors called her the “female Charles Manson,” portraying her as the mastermind behind the killings, even though she never pulled the trigger. Years later, she made national headlines again after escaping from an Indiana prison with the help of a correctional officer.Now, more than 25 years later, Sarah is back in court asking for her sentence to be reconsidered — and the case looks very different than it did in 2002. Key evidence used to convict her has since been discredited, the jailhouse informant who testified against her has been exposed as unreliable, and even the former prosecutor who put her away now says her sentence was a major injustice.In this episode, we walk through Sarah Pender’s story from the beginning: the volatile household, the night of the murders, the investigation, trial, prison escape, years in solitary confinement, and the long fight for freedom that’s still unfolding today.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of California’s most disturbing and complicated cold cases: the Keddie Cabin 28 murders. In April 1981, 36-year-old Sue Sharp and three teenagers—her son John, his friend Dana, and her 12-year-old daughter Tina—were attacked inside a small rental cabin in the remote mountain town of Keddie. Only three young boys in the home survived. What followed was a series of investigative missteps that still shocks people today: a contaminated crime scene, a missing child who wasn’t noticed for hours, ignored confessions, mishandled evidence, and key suspects who slipped out of town just days later.If you’re looking for a case that’s as frustrating as it is haunting, the Keddie murders remain one of the most chilling examples of a community failed by the system and of investigators still fighting to set the record straight.

In November of 1987, a young family in southern Illinois vanished from sight for just one day—and when police finally went to check their home, what they found inside would haunt the town of Ina forever.Keith and Elaine Dardeen were the kind of couple everyone in their small community knew and admired. They worked hard, sang in church, and were raising their 2-year-old son, Peter, while preparing to welcome a new baby girl. But behind their front door was a scene of unimaginable horror—one so brutal that even seasoned investigators said it was the worst they had ever witnessed.Elaine and little Peter were found beaten to death inside their trailer, tucked into bed as if someone wanted to hide the violence that had taken place. Elaine, seven months pregnant, had gone into labor during the attack—giving birth to a baby girl who lived only for moments before being killed as well.Keith, the husband and father, was missing—along with the family car. And within 24 hours, his body would be discovered in a nearby field, shot and mutilated in a way that defied all understanding.A loving family, wiped out for no apparent reason. No robbery. No known enemies. No clear motive. Just brutality, precision, and a killer who vanished without a trace.This is the story of the Dardeen family murders—one of the most horrifying and baffling unsolved cases in American history.

In this episode, we dive into one of California’s most haunting family stories — the Stayners of Merced. In 1972, seven-year-old Steven Stayner was kidnapped and held captive for seven years before bravely escaping and rescuing another child. Two decades later, his older brother Cary Stayner shocked the same community when he confessed to murdering four women near Yosemite National Park.This episode unpacks both halves of this tragic story — Steven’s abduction and survival, the years of trauma that followed, and the unraveling of Cary’s quiet life that led to the 1999 Yosemite murders. It’s a story about family, grief, and the thin line between victim and villain — a real-life Cain and Abel story written across generations.

In July 2021, Bart and Krista Halderson vanished from their Windsor, Wisconsin home after what was said to be a sudden holiday trip to the family cabin. As days passed with no word, suspicions grew. Friends noticed their cars still in the garage. Coworkers wondered why Krista never called in. And Chandler, their 23-year-old son, was the only one relaying updates. What began as a missing persons report quickly unraveled into something far more disturbing, as investigators pieced together a trail of strange behavior, hidden evidence, and chilling discoveries.
