Orlando, Florida: In the heart of the upscale Delaney Park neighborhood, a 39-year-old businesswoman and devoted mother is found dead inside the garage apartment she shares with her husband. He tells a 9-1-1 operator that she’s motionless in the bathtub and that he’s performing CPR. But when first responders arrive, something doesn’t sit right. There are visible injuries. The scene feels staged. And investigators quickly begin to question whether this was truly a tragic accident.
As detectives dig deeper, the picture becomes more complicated. A contentious ex-husband. A marriage strained by money and trust. Renovations that spiraled out of control. A missing engagement ring. And a timeline that doesn’t quite add up. With every interview and every piece of forensic evidence, the case takes another unexpected turn.
In this episode of Crime Exposé with Nancy O’Dell, we follow the twists and mounting suspicions surrounding Shanti Cooper-Tronnes’ death. In a quiet, family-friendly community, investigators must determine who was telling the truth and who had the most to gain before justice can be served.

Wilmington, North Carolina: In this vibrant port city along the Cape Fear River, a 54-year-old woman known for her warmth, loyalty, and deep community ties suddenly vanished. Shannon Rippy Van Newkirk missed her birthday celebration, leaving behind unopened balloons, untouched gifts, and an apartment that looked as though she had simply stepped out for a moment. When her phone abruptly went silent and familiar routines stopped without explanation, concern quickly turned into alarm.
Friends, family, and neighbors rallied to search for answers, retracing her final known steps through downtown Wilmington. Surveillance footage, conflicting timelines, and a series of late-night phone calls began to paint a confusing picture. The deeper investigators looked, the more questions surfaced — about the people she trusted, the plans she made that evening, and the secrets that may have followed her into the night.
In this episode of Crime Exposé with Nancy O’Dell, we examine the critical hours before Shannon disappeared and the complex web of relationships at the center of the investigation. In a city where everyone seems connected, the truth proves far more complicated and far more unsettling than anyone expected.
