Murder: True Crime Stories

She married them fast, drugged their food, and emptied their bank accounts. Then they died. Melissa Ann Shepard did it for decades, moving between Canada and Florida, leaving a trail of dead and disabled husbands behind her. The drug was always the same. The pattern was always the same. And no one could stop her until one man survived long enough to tell someone what was in his coffee. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the Internet Black Widow from her first kill to her last arrest, and the question that haunted every investigation: was she a murderer, or just a thief who didn't care if her victims lived or died?

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows Andrew Cunanan's cross-country killing spree from Minneapolis to Miami Beach. After murdering two men he knew personally, Andrew killed a wealthy Chicago real estate developer and a New Jersey cemetery worker before driving south to Florida, where he spent two months hiding in plain sight just miles from Gianni Versace's Ocean Drive mansion. On the morning of July 15th, 1997, Gianni stepped out for magazines and coffee. He never made it back through his front door. What followed was a massive manhunt, an eight-day standoff that ended on a houseboat, and a death that left every question about motive unanswered. Andrew Cunanan took his reasons with him, but Gianni's legacy endured through the sister who refused to let it die.

Gianni Versace was the Italian fashion designer who turned bold prints, bare skin, and celebrity culture into a global empire. From his mother's seamstress studio in southern Italy, he rose to dress everyone from Princess Diana to Tupac Shakur, building a brand that generated over $800 million in annual sales by the mid-1990s. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Gianni's creative journey from small-town Calabria to the top of the fashion world, while introducing the man who would destroy it all: Andrew Cunanan, a 27-year-old con artist whose carefully constructed life of lies was collapsing around him. As Gianni settled into his Miami Beach mansion at the height of his influence, Andrew bought a one-way ticket to Minneapolis, where two men who trusted him were about to pay for it with their lives.

In the 1920s, members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were among the wealthiest people on the planet, thanks to massive oil reserves beneath their land. Then they started dying: poisoned, shot, and blown up in their own homes. Local law enforcement wouldn't help, and some of them were in on it. There was no FBI to call. Not the way we know it. This is the story of the conspiracy that targeted the Osage for their oil money, and the investigation that transformed a small federal agency into the most powerful law enforcement organization in the country. This is episode 2 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy. New episodes come out every Monday, with all four available now, ad-free, on Crime House Plus.

On August 31st, 1997, Princess Diana died in a car crash in a Paris tunnel. She was 36 years old. The official investigation concluded it was a tragic accident caused by a drunk driver and high-speed paparazzi pursuit. But for millions of people around the world, the explanation never quite fit. Questions about the events leading up to that night, the role of the British establishment, and what Diana herself had feared in the months before her death have fueled debate for nearly three decades. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the life, the crash, the investigations, and the theories that have kept the world asking whether there is more to the story than what was officially told.
