Unsolved Mysterious DeathsOn Super Bowl Sunday, February 2, 2014, Jonathan Crews, a 27-year-old urgent care center director from Coppell, Texas, was killed by a bullet from his own SIG Sauer 9mm. Brenda Lazaro, his 26-year-old girlfriend, was there at the incident and claimed he shot himself in an attempt to prove his love for her. Jonathan's family claims that Lazaro shot Jonathan in a jealous rage. They wonder why Lazaro took 30 minutes to call 911 after he was shot. Jonathan's family and acquaintances describe him as a vibrant young guy who had no motive to commit suicide. Jonathan was also concerned, according to a buddy, that his new partner was a little "crazy." The case has remained unsolved.Lauren Agee was a brilliant and lovely young woman with a bright future ahead of her. Her life was cut short in July 2015 . When the young woman vanished in the night, she was trekking and camping with friends.She was there when they went to bed, and she was gone when they awoke the next morning, according to the folks she was camping with. Blunt force trauma and possible drowning were recorded as her causes of death, both of which may be explained by the police story. They said that the group was sleeping near a cliff or a drop-off, and that Agee was disoriented when he awoke in the middle of the night. They believe she roamed around in the middle of the night and died.According to the authorities, her death was nothing more than a tragic accident, and no further inquiry is necessary. There have been recent updates to the case that have allowed the family to pursue legal action. A judge has determined that Lauren's family has the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit against people who last saw her before she vanished. This means that anyone who was camping with Lauren on the night she went missing could face a wrongful death lawsuit and be held liable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-true-crime-documentaries--6015157/support.

Serial Killer and Dexter Wannabe Mark Twitchell Full Police InterrogationMark Andrew Twitchell (born July 4, 1979) is a Canadian filmmaker convicted of first degree murder in 2011 for killing John Brian "Johnny" Altinger. His trial attracted particular media attention because Twitchell had allegedly been inspired by the fictional character Dexter Morgan. The character appears in a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay and the television drama Dexter. Twitchell's victim, John Brian "Johnny" Altinger was a 38-year-old man who worked as an oilfield equipment manufacturer. On October 10, 2008, Altinger informed his friends of his plans to meet a woman he had been chatting with on the online dating website PlentyOfFish.Following his disappearance, Altinger's friends became concerned after they received emails in which "Altinger" claimed that his date had taken him off on an extended vacation to Costa Rica. At work, a resignation letter arrived by email, but without a response to a request for a forwarding address for sending a final paycheck.Altinger's friends broke into his condominium only to find his passport, dirty dishes and no indication of his having packed for a trip. A homicide investigation was soon launched by the Edmonton Police Service. Twitchell, interviewed a second time by police, related an improbable account of having met Altinger before his trip to Costa Rica. According to Twitchell, Altinger then sold his car to Twitchell for $40 CAD, all the cash Twitchell had on hand. The police, not believing this story, arrested him on October 31, 2008, and, and on the same day, charged with the first degree murder of Altinger.The key piece of evidence presented by the Crown at Twitchell's first degree murder trial was a document, entitled "SKConfessions", which stood for "Serial Killer Confessions". The document had been recovered from Twitchell's laptop, despite having been deleted. The document begins with the passage: "This story is based on true events. The names and events were altered slightly to protect the guilty. This is the story of my progression into becoming a serial killer." It presented an account of its narrator's planning, failed first attempt, and successful second attempt to lure a man to his garage and murder him, with fake online dating profiles used as bait. It went on to the describe the process of dismembering the victim's body and attempts to dispose of the remains. During his trial, Twitchell admitted to killing Altinger and authoring the document but said he had acted in self-defense. He described the document as fiction based on fact, as if he had planned Altinger's death deliberately, in order to craft a compelling story. Another document found on Twitchell’s laptop did not make its way into the evidence file for the jury to read during his trial. Entitled “A Profile of a Psychopath”, and believed by investigators to have been written by Twitchell, it is a detailed self-analysis of personality and behaviour. It was released after the trial ended as it was deemed too inflammatory and would compromise the trial.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-true-crime-documentaries--6015157/support.
