Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

A Washington gym shooting leaves a building manager dead and four others wounded after the alleged gunman referenced Luigi Mangione during a bitter condominium dispute months earlier. In Orlando, a three-year-old girl's chilling remarks to a babysitter help investigators link a mother to dismembered human remains discovered near an apartment trash compactor.

Casey Anthony, legally acquitted of her daughter’s murder, has shifted into an active role in legal research and advocacy, now joining YNW Melly’s defense team preparing for his retrial
Anthony was charged with first-degree murder after the disappearance and death of her 2‑year‑old daughter, Caylee. Her remains were found near the family's Orlando home. A jury found Casey not guilty of murder, aggravated manslaughter, and aggravated child abuse, but guilty on four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement. Two of those counts were overturned in 2013.

Janette MacAusland faces two counts of first‑degree murder for the deaths of her 7‑year‑old son, Kai Prescott MacAusland, and her 6‑year‑old daughter, Ella Brayton MacAusland. Reportedly, MacAusland and her husband, were in the midst of a divorce and custody dispute.
According to police, the children were found dead in the family’s Wellesley home during a welfare check. The medical examiner determined they died from mechanical asphyxia and acute intoxication involving multiple drugs, including the sleep medication zolpidem (Ambien), the anxiety drug lorazepam, and over‑the‑counter pain relievers acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Prosecutors allege MacAusland killed the children, then fled to her aunt’s home. She allegedly told her aunt, “I wanted the three of us to go to God together, but it didn’t work,” and later admitted to police, “I strangled them and tried to kill myself.”
The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for December 2026.

Co-workers called for a welfare check after she failed to show up for work. Naresh initially told police he didn’t know where Mamta was, suggesteing she might have traveled.

Later, he admitted to police that he had dismembered and disposed of her body after she committed suicide. Police recovered forensic evidence including blood traces, DNA, and hair fragments, a a power saw with reddish‑brown stains and hair‑like strands.

A jury rejected his account. He faces 20 years to life for murder plus up to 10 additional years for the other charges. Sentencing is scheduled for March 2027.
