On the morning of February 6, 2021, a 999 call came through to police in South Wales.
"I have just killed the wife, police... I have just killed my wife."
The caller was David Maggs, a 71-year-old retired accountant. When the operator asked what had happened, he said that he had just lost it.
Minutes later, officers arrived at the house. On the bottom step of the stairs lay two red kitchen knives. In the living room, they found David sitting in an armchair, subdued, and seemingly defeated.
Upstairs, in her own bed, lay his wife of nearly two decades, Linda Maggs, dying from wounds inflicted just moments before.
David didn't run and He didn't deny it, and he was arrested at the scene.
What could drive a husband to turn with such sudden, savage violence on the woman he had shared almost thirty years of his life with?

Who Brutally Murdered Michelle Leng?

On the morning of Sunday 24 April 2016, a group of tourists were exploring the rugged coastline of the Munmorah State Conservation Area on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, when something caught their attention below the lookout at Snapper Point.
As the powerful surf surged through the blowhole, the object repeatedly surfaced before disappearing beneath the white foam. At first, they couldn’t tell what they were looking at. Then it rolled over, and the horrifying truth became unmistakable. It was the naked body of a young woman, floating face down as the waves dragged her violently across the jagged rocks.
Police were called immediately, and a dangerous recovery operation began along the slippery coastline. A rescue helicopter went down to retrieve the body. Detectives quickly ruled out any possibility of an accident. The young woman had been stabbed almost 40 times, with the fatal wound to her throat. They believed she had been deliberately left there, not carried in by the sea.
She had no identification, no phone, no bag, and nothing to reveal who she was or how she had ended up on a stretch of coastline.
It would take homicide detectives days just to learn her name and to find out who had murdered her.
And when they finally did, the answer was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

In the early hours of November 13th, 2022, four University of Idaho students were found dead inside their off-campus home on King Road, and the small college town of Moscow, Idaho would never be the same again.
No suspect. No weapon. No motive. For seven weeks, investigators chased a single, chilling lead: a white sedan, caught on camera, speeding away from the scene at 4:20 in the morning.
This is Part 1 of the full story behind one of the most shocking true crime cases of the decade, the Idaho student murders, the manhunt that followed, and the case that would eventually lead to Bryan Kohberger.
