In 1992, 23-year-old Michael Hunter was found deceased in his northwest Raleigh apartment. When police take a closer look, they realize a lethal injection of Lidocaine caused his death, and his roommate, medical student Joseph Mannino, admits to injecting him with antihistamines to ease migraine symptoms. But the investigation reveals a motive for murder within a contentious love triangle. We also take a look at the hit-and-run death of Ruth Buchanan in 1989 and how the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police recently solved it.

As part of Suicide Prevention Month, Renee discusses four deaths attributed to suicide. One involved an elderly man who may have had a psychotic break, a successful doctor and her husband who died of a double suicide, a whistleblower who died unexpectedly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and one death that may have been the result of mental health issues and strain from an abusive relationship. We also give an update on the Asha Degree missing persons case from Cleveland County, North Carolina.

In the 1980s, televangelist Jim Bakker had grown an impressive broadcasting empire along with his wife, Tammy Faye. Their organization, PTL, built a Christian-theme park on the border between North and South Carolina and the two lived a lavish lifestyle.

Eric Rudolph spent five years on the run before being captured early one morning while searching for food in Murphy, N.C. Investigators spent the next few years learning more about what turned him into a bomber as he led them to hundreds of pounds of dynamite he'd stashed in the mountains of North Carolina. As he prepared to go to trial in 2005 for the bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, he made a startling decision that would spare him from the death penalty.

In July of 1990, 41-year-old Pamela Hoy had dinner with her estranged husband in Burlington, N.C. and packed her van in preparation for an upcoming dog show. She disappeared that night, and while her remains were found months later, the case has never been solved. Seven-year-old Jennifer Patterson went missing after going to visit some neighborhood children in Spring Lake, N.C. in June of 1991. Could she still be alive and was she abducted as part of a parental custody dispute? Forty-three-year-old Cecil Chacon, Jr. was a respected educator in Henderson, N.C. when he was murdered under unusual circumstances in 1992. Is there still a way to solve his case? KC Lee Johnson was a transgender woman murdered in Wilmington in early 2023 by a man she met online. Was her death a hate crime or a crime of opportunity?
