In late 2019, Kay Woodcock called local police and asked them to perform a welfare check on her 7-year-old grandson, JJ Vallow. She hadn’t seen him in almost two months, and couldn’t get in touch with his mother or his older sister. As investigators began to look into where JJ was, they found that his 16-year-old sister, Tylee Ryan, was also missing. Their mother, Lori Vallow, claimed that they were safe and happy, but refused to tell anyone where they were. Detectives continued to dig into the Vallow family and found a sickening story of extreme religion, demons, zombies, and murder. They found suspicious deaths that surrounded Lori, as well as her new husband, Chad Daybell. Unfortunately, no one could find JJ or Tylee. Were they really somewhere safe or had they been victims of Lori and Chad’s bizarre cult-like religion?

The Houston Police Department received a 911 call in the early morning hours of July 29th, 2016, from a very calm 16-year-old. AJ Armstrong told the dispatcher that he’d heard gunshots in his parents’ room downstairs and that he was now hiding in the closet of his third floor bedroom. When officers arrived, they found AJ’s mother, Dawn, dead in her bed, from two gunshot wounds to the head. AJ’s father, Antonio, had also suffered a gunshot wound to the head, but was clinging to life. Both AJ and his 12-year-old sister were unharmed. Less than 24 hours later, AJ was charged with the capital murder of both of his parents. Was he responsible for their brutal slayings, or had a masked intruder really just gotten THAT lucky to get away with a double murder?

In March of 2017, three women filed sexual assault allegations against Danny Masterson who denied the allegations via his agent.  The filing triggered an LAPD investigation, and in December of 2017, a fourth victim came forward with allegations.  A few weeks later, a fifth victim came forward with allegations.  Masterson was able to escape justice for years by hiding behind the rules / laws of the Church of Scientology.  Eventually though, he was brought to trial and found guilty of rape and given 30 years to life in prison.   ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Drugging - Rape - Sexual Assault - Cult - Emotional, Physical, and Sexaual Abuse - Animal Abuse / Poisoning - Pretty Much Everything Hang with us: Follow Us on InstagramLike Us on FacebookJoin our Case Discussion Group on FacebookGet Killer Queens MerchBonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: Embrace Pet Insurance: Head to EmbracePetInsurance.com/QUEENS and sign up for pet insurance today.

In the late evening and early morning hours between July 12th and July 13th, 2015, 18-year-old Tiffany Valiante’s body was recovered by police after it was struck by a train in Mays Landing, New Jersey. Her family was told that the promising young volleyball player had jumped out in front of the train, taking her own life. Tiffany was a typical teenager, who struggled sometimes at home and argued with her parents, but had also been offered five scholarships to play college volleyball and couldn’t wait to meet her college roommate. The New Jersey Transit Police quickly closed the case, ruling it a suicide, however, there were so many questions left unanswered. Tiffany’s family is left wondering still, what happened to her on those train tracks?

On July 20th, 2020, Gallatin, Tennessee 911 dispatchers received a phone call from Aaron Solomon. He told them that his 18-year-old son Grant was lying in a ditch at the bottom of the parking lot, and that his Toyota Tacoma had backed over him and dragged him down the hill. When responders arrived, they found Grant alive, but only just. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. Officers ruled the death an accident and the case was closed. Grant’s mother, Angie Solomon, knows that something else happened in that parking lot that day, something that was the culmination of years of sexual, physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and she’s going to do everything she can to prove that Aaron murdered their son.  TRIGGER WARNINGS: child abuse, child sexual abuse, grooming, suicide, domestic violence and abuse Hang with us: Follow Us on InstagramLike Us on FacebookJoin our Case Discussion Group on FacebookGet Killer Queens MerchBonus Episodes Support Our AMAZING Sponsors: Embrace Pet Insurance: Head to EmbracePetInsurance.com/QUEENS and sign up for pet insurance today.  Trust & Will: Gain peace of mind today with Trust and Will.

On September 21st, 2004, a man was arrested in Mobile, Alabama for the murder of 43-year-old Lisa Marie Nichols. Lisa had been found shot to death in her home, which was then set on fire. 32-year-old John Paul Chapman was taken into custody, but detectives quickly found that the man was actually Jeremy Bryan Jones. Jones was a fugitive after fleeing Oklahoma when his bail was revoked. More concerningly, Jones had been arrested under his ‘Chapman’ alias three times, and was released each time. Once he was in custody, Jones confessed to over 20 murders. How many people had this man, once described by ADA John Furman as a “low-rent Ted Bundy”, actually killed? And could any of them have been prevented if Jones’ real identity had been discovered earlier?

In 2008, 39-year-old Melissa Lucio became the first Hispanic woman sentenced to death in the state of Texas. She’d been tried and convicted of capital murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter, Mariah Alvarez. On February 17th, 2007, first responders were called to Melissa’s home to find Mariah in cardiac arrest. Despite resuscitation efforts, Mariah was pronounced dead at the hospital. She was found covered in bruises, with a cause of death ultimately determined to be from a significant head injury. Melissa had no documented history of abuse, but before investigators had even left her home that night, they’d formed their opinion of what happened, despite Melissa’s explanation. Since her sentencing, people across the world have been lobbying on Melissa’s behalf, petitioning for a stay of execution and, hopefully, a full exoneration. Was Melissa wrongly convicted and sentenced to death or was she responsible for the death of her youngest child?

On April 19th, 1993, FBI agents began pouring tear gas into a compound known as Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas. It was the final act of a 51 day standoff that had taken place between law enforcement and a religious group known as The Branch Davidians. After a failed attempt by the ATF to serve a warrant to arrest the group’s leader, David Koresh, for stockpiling illegal weapons, the standoff began. By the end, 82 Branch Davidians were dead, including 28 children, and four ATF agents had been killed. The country was left with questions that remain unanswered to this day, the most important one being, who was responsible for the 86 deaths that happened at Mount Carmel?
