Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Colleen Nick brings her 6-year-old daughter, Morgan, to a baseball game in Alma, Arkansas. At the field, two children ask Morgan to catch fireflies with them in a green space off the parking lot. As the game wraps up, the children Morgan was playing with return to the stands, but Morgan isn’t with them. They say Morgan's cleaning sand out of her shoes in the parking lot. Colleen goes to get Morgan around 10:45, but the 6-year-old is nowhere to be found.   Alma PD and Crawford County Sheriffs assume Morgan just wandered off, but adult witnesses say they saw a man trying to talk to a little blonde girl—and his red truck left the parking lot shortly after they lost sight of her. Months later, Alma PD get several reports of attempted kidnappings with the same key detail: a red truck. During one attempt, a bystander manages to write down his license plate number. The driver is identified as Billy Jack Lincks, but he denies involvement in Morgan's disappearance.  Years later, investigators decide to track down Lincks' truck. Inside, they find blonde hairs that are a DNA match to Colleen Nick, leading them to believe Morgan was once inside. Lincks died in prison on unrelated charges 5 years after Morgan's disappearance. Investigators are still searching for Morgan Nick, unsure if they will find a now 36-year-old woman, or a little girl’s remains. The FBI is asking for any information on Billy Lincks’ life. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the National Center for Missing and Exploited children at 1-800-THE-LOST.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: tthew Mangino – Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County); Author: “The Executioner’s Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States;” X: @MatthewTMangino Dr. Judy Ho - Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychologist, Author of The New Rules of Attachment; IG & X: @drjudyho; FB: doctorjudyho; Dr. Jorey L.

Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Brad Johansson told the press, "We are hoping for the absolute best but, unfortunately, preparing for the worst." He was referring to 5-year-old Oakley Carlson, who is missing. Her parents have been arrested for not cooperating with investigators. Oakley Carlson was just 8 months old when foster parents Jamie-Jo and Eric Hiles took her in. Over the next two years, she became part of their family. However, during Thanksgiving, Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families reunited Oakley with her biological parents, Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson. Nine months later, Oakley was missing, but no one realized it immediately. After a fire at the home of Bowers and Carlson, Oakville Elementary School Principal Jessica Swift visited to bring supplies for the family. During her 45-minute visit, she did not see Oakley. When she asked about the child, Bowers and Carlson claimed Oakley was in her room. Later, Oakley's sister attended a sleepover at Swift's home. When Swift inquired about Oakley, the girl became upset and said, "Oakley is no more." Pressing further, Swift was told that Oakley had returned to her former foster parents. Concerned, Principal Swift contacted the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office to request a welfare check. Officers located the family in a hotel room, where they were staying due to the fire damage. Oakley was not with them. The parents provided inconsistent accounts of Oakley's whereabouts and eventually stopped cooperating. A search of their home revealed no signs that Oakley had lived there recently, as well as a bloody handprint on a wall in a downstairs hallway Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Jamie Jo Hiles - Oakley Carlson's foster mom Jarrett Ferentino – Pennsylvania Attorney/Homicide Prosecutor; Facebook & Instagram: Jarrett Ferentino; Host: “True Crime Boss” Podcast Sheryl McCollum  – Forensics Expert & Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder; Host of Podcast: “Zone 7;” X: @149Zone7 Dr. Carole Lieberman - Renowned Beverly Hills Psychiatrist {specializing in treating patients impacted by terrorism} Author: LIONS and TIGERS and TERRORISTS, OH MY!  Dave Mack - Crimeonline.com Investigative Reporter  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On a whim, parents Vernal Kunz and Jessica Mitchell decide to take their 2-year-old son, DeOrr, camping near Leadore, Idaho. Mitchell invites her grandfather, Robert Walton, and Walton's friend, Isaac Reinwand, to join them. The group arrives at the Timber Creek Campground after dark and sleeps in the next morning. Kunz, Mitchell, and DeOrr go into town for gas and groceries, returning to camp around 1 p.m. By that time, DeOrr should be settling in for a nap, but his parents decide to explore the campground. Reinwand is off fishing upstream, so Walton agrees to watch DeOrr while Mitchell and Kunz take a walk downstream. A few minutes later, Kunz returns to camp to show DeOrr a school of minnows. However, the toddler is nowhere to be found. Walton says DeOrr started following his parents on their walk, and he assumed they had him. After searching for several minutes, Mitchell and Kunz call 911. Investigators quickly rule out kidnapping, as the campers would have seen a car leaving the area, and focus on searching the Timber Creek Campground. Both Lemhi and Bonneville County sheriffs, along with hundreds of volunteers, search for days. Dive teams spend hours combing the creek near the campsite and Stone Reservoir, a shallow body of water feeding the creek. Foot searchers spread out over a three-mile radius, checking even animal dens, but find no sign of DeOrr. Just over a year into the investigation, Jessica Mitchell and Vernal Kunz are named suspects in their son's disappearance and presumed death Joining Nancy Grace Today:  David Marshburn - Kunz Family Private Investigator, Director of Investigations for 'Search for Me Foundation', Former Bounty Hunter Pendrey Trammell - Civil Litigator, Former Prosecutor in Oregon and Idaho; Instagram: @pendrey28  Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski – Forensic Psychologist, Author: “Darksides;” FB: forensicsandmediapsychologist/TikTok: Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski Dr. Jan Gorniak – Medical Examiner, Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner (Las Vegas, NV), Board Certified Forensic Pathologist Nate Eaton - News Director, EastIdahoNews.com, Facebook: "Nate Eaton - Reporter", Instagram: @n.eaton  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thirty years after Susan Smith drove her car into a lake with her two sons still strapped in their car seats, she is seeking parole. After high school, Susan Leigh Vaughan married David Smith. They had two sons, but the children did not hold the marriage together. The Smiths separated multiple times. During one of these separations, Susan began dating Tom Findlay, the single son of a wealthy mill owner. Smith envisioned a future with Findlay until she received a "Dear John" letter from him. He explained he did not want an instant family. On the night of October 25, Susan Smith knocked on the door of a house near John D. Long Lake. Hysterical, she told the man who answered to call the police. She claimed an armed Black man had carjacked her at a red light, with her two boys—3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex—still in the car. For days, Susan repeated increasingly inconsistent versions of the carjacking story. Eventually, Smith confessed. There had been no hijacker. Feeling desperate, alone, and suicidal, she had gone for a drive with her sons buckled in their car seats. At John D. Long Lake, she put the car in neutral, jumped out, and watched it sink. Scuba divers later found the vehicle with the boys still strapped in the back seats. Since her conviction and incarceration, tabloid reports have alleged that Smith told prison investigators about four sexual encounters with Lieutenant Houston Cagle, a supervisor at South Carolina’s Women’s Correctional Institution. C agle admitted to having sex with Smith and another inmate. In August 2000, he was charged with the offenses, pleaded guilty, and served three months in jail. Captain Alfred Rowe also pleaded guilty to having sex with Smith and received five years of probation. Over the years, several men have written to Smith, fueling her hopes for a life beyond prison. In March 2022, People Magazine published excerpts from letters Smith wrote to a long-distance boyfriend. In one letter, she wrote, "I can't wait to build a life with you, leave the past mistakes behind, and start fresh, just you and me."

Gabby Petito was strangled by her then boyfriend Brian Laundrie while the pair were on a cross-country van trip. The FBI report  states that Laundrie confesses to the murder in a hand written notebook, found near the remains of Laundrie's body after he committed suicide.  According to the report, Laundrie tried to cover up Petito's death by using the woman's debit card, and then also sending text messages from her phone, to give the impression that Gabby was still alive. During the trip, a domestic violence episode was caught on Moab police body cam, after a 911 call came in reporting a man slapping a woman.  The footage shows Petito was injured with scratches and  bruises. Police determined however that Petito was the aggressor, after she admitted hitting Laundrie.   The pair was separated for the night, with no domestic violence counseling.  Petito's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit  against the Moab Police Department. Utah's 7th District Court Judge Don Torgerson dismissed the case, citing governmental immunity. Torgerson said he is bound to follow the law as it currently exists and follow rulings of other courts. The Petito's attorney argued to end just the police immunity.  He added the Court of Appeals has the authority to determine whether the governmental immunity law is constitutional.

As part of an interagency contraband sweep at the MDC, agents confiscated 19 pages of notes from Sean Combs’ belongings and turned them over to federal prosecutors. The notes included inspirational quotes, reminders about family and financial matters, and a "To-Do List." The list instructed a family member to, quote, “find dirt” on two potential victims and, quote, “find everything” on another victim. Attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed shock and outrage upon learning prosecutors possessed the notes for weeks before notifying the defense. He accused prosecutors of a "complete institutional failure" and claimed Combs' constitutional rights were violated, as the notes contained privileged materials. The defense is now seeking dismissal of the indictment or recusal of the prosecution team. Prosecutors argued no wrongdoing occurred, stating the notes were reviewed by a "filter team" to ensure they contained no privileged information before prosecutors saw them. Federal agent Mary Slavik maintained her team acted “in a completely appropriate fashion” regarding the documents. Judge Subramanian called an emergency hearing on the matter. Combs appeared unshackled, a privilege granted for future court appearances. He seemed more at ease, hugged his attorneys, and surveyed the courtroom.  Judge Subramanian ruled the notes inadmissible as evidence and ordered prosecutors to destroy all copies of the documents.

Heading into the ninth month of her pregnancy, Emma Baum finds out on October 4th that she is already dilated one centimeter. Six days later, knowing the baby will be here soon, Emma has her sister drive her to boyfriend, and father-to-be Antwon Butler's house in Gary, Indiana Thursday evening. Emma tells her sister she will see her tomorrow and goes inside.  Friday, Emma Baum does not reach out to her family members even though they are expecting her to come home. After waiting all weekend, Emma's mother, Jamie Baum, calls Butler and asks to speak to Emma. Antwon Butler tells Jamie that Emma isn't there...he saw her leave with a girl in a car. However, Butler changes his story several times and family believes he is being less than truthful. The family reports Emma Baum missing and tell the police Antwon Butler was the last person to see Emma. As it happens, Antwon Butler has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear, so he is picked up and taken to jail on charges not related to his missing girlfriend.  Weeks of searching for Emma have led to no results and the family of Emma Baum are at a loss for what to do next. Standing in front of Antwon Butler's house in Gary, Indiana, the family asks local tv crews to get the word out, begging for the safe return of the mom of three and her newborn.   Joining Nancy Grace today: Jamie Baum - mother Jason Waddell -  father Abby Smith - sister  Paige Baum - sister Gregory Morse – Partner at the law firm of King Morse, PLLC.

Jose Ibarra, the sole suspect in the murder of University of Georgia jogger Laken Riley, has been found guilty on all charges. The ten charges include three counts of felony murder, malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and “peeping Tom.” In emotional testimony, University of Georgia Police Sgt. Sophie Raboud detailed the final moments of Riley’s life, breaking down the timeline into minutes. Before her final jog, Riley texted her mother at 8:55 a.m., asking if she was free to talk. At 9:03 a.m., Riley called her mother. She then listened to music and was seen on a trail camera at 9:05 a.m., holding her iPhone in her left hand as she jogged toward the intramural fields. By 9:06 a.m., Riley ran out of the camera’s view. Minutes later, at 9:11 a.m., Riley activated the SOS function on her iPhone to call 911. The dispatcher was unable to speak with her before the call was disconnected. The dispatcher attempted to call back twice but received no answer. Riley’s phone later received a call from her mother at 9:24 a.m. When Riley failed to respond, her mother sent a text at 9:38 a.m. reading, “Call me when you can.” During closing arguments, State Prosecutor Shelia Ross outlined the evidence supporting each charge, describing Ibarra as “a monstrously guilty individual.” Defense attorney Kaitlyn Beck presented two alternative theories: that DNA was transferred onto clothes found in the apartment, implicating Ibarra’s brother Diego as the murderer, or that Ibarra may have been an accomplice but not the primary culprit. Ultimately, Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard found Jose Ibarra guilty on all counts.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Philip Dubé  – Court-Appointed Counsel, Los Angeles County Public Defenders: Criminal & Constitutional Law; Forensics & Mental Health Advocacy Dr. Angela Arnold – Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA.

Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old migrant from Venezuela, faces 10 charges, including malice murder, three counts of felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, obstruction of a person making an emergency call, tampering with evidence, and Peeping Tom. On the eve of jury selection for his murder trial, Ibarra waived his right to a jury trial during a pre-trial hearing and requested a bench trial. A judge will now hear the case and render a verdict instead of a jury. The presiding judge, Superior Court Judge Patrick Haggard, is known for his no-nonsense approach. Haggard has personal experience with violent crime, as his father, a salesman, was fatally shot during a gunfire exchange with two men attempting to rob him in a Georgia apartment complex in 1992. Special Prosecutor Sheila Ross alleges that Ibarra was "hunting for women" on the day of Laken Riley's murder. Ross stated that Riley fought fiercely against her attacker, leaving marks on Ibarra and securing his DNA under her fingernails. She highlighted video evidence allegedly showing Ibarra disposing of a black jacket in a dumpster. The same jacket, according to Ross, contained both Riley's and Ibarra's blood. Additionally, Ibarra is accused of leaving a fingerprint on Riley's iPhone while attempting to stop her from calling 911.

Ellen Greenberg was found stabbed to death in her apartment, with at least 20 stab wounds. She was stabbed in the back of the neck and head, and the final wound was a stab to the chest, with the knife left embedded there. Her death was initially ruled a homicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner. However, police disagreed and publicly challenged the medical examiner's findings. Months later, Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne, without warning or explanation, reclassified the death as a suicide. Since then, Greenberg’s parents have fought to have her death ruled a homicide or inconclusive, only to learn that Pennsylvania state law allows a "medical examiner to be wrong as to the manner of death but cannot be compelled to change it." The Chester County District Attorney's office announced it could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred in Ellen Greenberg’s death. As a result, the investigation is now considered "inactive." The DA’s office said detectives reviewed prior investigations conducted by the Philadelphia Police and the Attorney General's office, interviewed new witnesses, and consulted with an independent forensic expert. A spokesperson for the DA's office explained, “This standard of proof—beyond a reasonable doubt—makes the criminal investigation different from other legal matters surrounding Ms. Greenberg’s death." The Chester County DA's decision to move the investigation to "inactive" status does not change the fact that there is no statute of limitations for criminal homicide in Pennsylvania, and the case is not being closed. It will remain "open and inactive."
