In the early hours of March 11th, 2025, residents in a neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Belo Horizonte in Brazil, called the police after witnessing a woman and a young man, dragging what appeared to be a body into a nearby wooded area.
When officers arrived, they found the remains of a man in a clearing. Partially burned. Mutilated. And with a trail of blood that led them away from the trees, back along the street, and straight to the front door of a house nearby. They knocked.
At the door stood forty-two-year-old Erica Pereira da Silveira Vicente. She did not run. She did not deny what had happened. Instead, she handed police the knife and told them exactly what she had done. But then she told them why.
And one year later, in a courtroom, seven jurors listened to the full story. They heard the evidence, heard Erica's confession, and heard what she said had happened before the killing. Then, they found her not guilty, and the next day she walked out of prison a free woman.
This is the case of Erica Pereira da Silveira Vicente... and the question of how far a mother will go to protect her child.

Previous Episode
On the morning of July 31, 2022, at 5:34 a.m., a surveillance camera on Pearl Road in Strongsville, Ohio captured a black Toyota Camry making a slow, controlled turn onto Progress Drive. What happened next, in the space of less than two minutes, would shock a community, and divide a nation.
The car accelerated. And it kept accelerating. Past every point where a driver would naturally slow down, past every turn, past every reason to stop — until it was travelling at close to a hundred miles per hour down a quiet industrial road with nowhere to go but a brick wall at the end of it.
Two of the three people inside that car never came home. Twenty year old Dominic Russo and nineteen year old Davion Flanagan were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver — seventeen year old Mackenzie Shirilla — survived.
Had this been a tragic accident? A medical episode? Or had this been something far darker — a deliberate, premeditated act of murder carried out on a road she had visited just three days before?
This is the full, deep dive into everything you need to know about the Mackenzie Shirilla case — and the tragic, devastating deaths of Davion Flanagan and Dominic Russo.

Taylor Parker: The Monster Who Stole a Baby
June 10
•150m
On the morning of October 9th, 2020, a Texas state trooper spotted a woman driving erratically, close to the Texas–Oklahoma border.
When the trooper pulled the vehicle over, the driver was frantic. She was screaming for help, claiming she had just given birth on the side of the road. Sitting in her lap was a newborn baby girl who wasn't breathing. The baby's umbilical cord was still attached, and blood covered the woman's clothing. Everything about the scene suggested that she had only just given birth.
An ambulance was called immediately, and both the woman and the infant were rushed to a hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma.
But once doctors began examining the woman, something didn't make sense. Despite her claims, there were no signs that she had recently given birth.
As medical staff tried to understand what was happening, investigators began piecing together a far darker picture.
Because around 70 miles away, in New Boston, Texas, 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock had been found dead inside her home. Reagan was 35 weeks pregnant when she was brutally attacked, and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn, had been cut from her body.
The woman back at the hospital, claiming the baby was hers and that she had just given birth was Taylor Parker.
This is the tragic case of Taylor Parker, and how her actions stole two innocent lives and shattered a community forever.
