Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

It's been eight years since Crystal Roger went missing. Her then-boyfriend, Brooks Houck, immediately became the main suspect.  The mom of five was last seen at Houck's home. Rogers' car was found abandoned with a flat tire on the Bluegrass Parkway two days later. Her keys, phone, and purse were inside the vehicle. Houck was interviewed, but not arrested. Houck has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence. The details of why, however, remain sealed until his arraignment.  Houck's bond has been set at $10 million cash. This is the second arrest related to Crystal Rogers' disappearance. 32-year-old Joseph L. Lawson was charged with conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence in the case. Lawson has pleaded not guilty. His connection to this case is not yet known, but Lawson's father worked for Houck.  Rogers’ body has not been found.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: James Shelnutt – Attorney – The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C.; 27-year Atlanta Metro Area Major Case Detective and Former S.W.A.T.

Whether you've lost a loved one to an illness, time or a crime, death affects us all.  How we deal with death is extremely personal.  Paranormal investigator and host of Kindred Spirits Adam Berry 's new book "Goodbye Hello," looks at how supernatural and psychological research can help us understand what happens after death. Is there an afterlife? Why do spirits remain on earth, and what can they teach us about ourselves? Can paranormal activity help solve crimes? Police looking into the murder of a nurse in California do not think so, but one woman's visions lead to a body.  Join Nancy Grace and her panel as they discuss the nature of death with Paranormal investigator and host of Kindred Spirits Adam Berry.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: Darryl Cohen  Former Assistant District Attorney -  Former Assistant State Attorney (Florida), Defense Attorney, Cohen, Cooper, Estep, & Allen, LLC, CCEAlaw.com, Facebook: "Darryl B Cohen", Twitter: @DarrylBCohen Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist,AngelaArnoldMD.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital, Voted My Buckhead’s Best Psychiatric Practice of 2023  Adam Berry - Paranormal researcher, executive producer and star of Kindred Spirits on the Travel Channel and Discovery+, Author: “Goodbye, Hello Processing Grief and Understanding Death Through the Paranormal” just released, www.AdamBerryBooks.com, Instagram @adamberry, Twitter @AdamJberry, TikTok @TheAdamBerry  Nicole Partin – CrimeOnline.com Investigative Reporter, Twitter: @nicolepartin  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A college secret is said to be the motive behind the murder of an Ohio Mom. Brenda Powell was bludgeoned with a frying pan and then stabbed more than 30 times. Daughter Sydney Powell, 19 at the time, was charged with murder. Prosecutors claimed Sydney Powell did not tell her parents that she was suspended from Mount Union University months earlier for poor academics. Brenda Powell was on the phone with college officials when her daughter struck. Defense experts argued that Sydney Powell suffered a psychotic break when she killed her mother. Three experts found she was schizophrenic and could not discern right from wrong.  Experts for the prosecution asserted Powell had mental health issues, but was not insane when she committed the crime.     Joining Nancy Grace Today: Brian Stano - Summit County Assistant Prosecutor and Lead Prosecutor on the Sydney/Brenda Powell Homicide Case   Dr. Carla Manly - Clinical Psychologist, Author: “Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships & Love Fearlessly” Lt.

Tatyana Remley stands charged with soliciting someone to kill her husband. Remley approaches a friend with an offer of $2 million dollars to end her estranged husband's life. The friend went to police, who set up a sting.   The couple is in the midst of a divorce. In her filings, Remley says her husband held a gun to her head, threatening to kill her, and chased her around the house with a knife, trying to kill her. Remley is asking the court for $15,000 a month in spousal support, saying she pays  $12,000 in monthly expenses.   In 2012, the Remley couple gained attention for orchestrating a mobile equestrian event named “Valitar in Del Mar.” The show was quickly canceled, however, plunging the couple into lawsuit battles with vendors who claimed they didn’t get paid.

New court documents aimed at clearing Richard Allen for the murders of Delphi teens Abigail Williams and Liberty German blame white nationalists,  practicing Odinism for the deaths.  Allen's attorneys says the murders were carried out as part of a pagan ritual.  The 136-page document points to the gruesome crime scene noting that sticks and tree branches were placed orderly - on and around the girls’ bodies  and pagan religious runes could also be seen.   Claims are also being made that other suspects were not pursued. There are also allegations that evidence was suppressed and even changed.  The attorneys have requested a Franks hearing to determine if there were improprieties in obtaining a search warrant for Allen's home.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Fran Longwell - Former Deputy State’s Attorney,  Former Assistant State’s Attorney specializing in child abuse, sex offenses and homicides  Dr. Bethany Marshall  - Psychoanalyst https://www.drbethanymarshall.com/, Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter:@DrBethanyLive Chris McDonough-Director At the Cold Case Foundation, Former Homicide Detective, Host of YouTube channel- ‘The Interview Room’, ColdCaseFoundation.org Dr. Mark Mirabello Professor of History at Shawnee State University, Author: “The Odin Brotherhood”, https://www.markmirabello.com Dr. Maneesha Pandey - Chief Forensic Pathologist for the Forensic Pathologists LLC in Ohio, Board certified forensic pathologist,theforensicpathologist.com Max Lewis - Reporter, FOX59, Twitter/Instagram: @MaxLewisTV, Facebook.com/MaxLewisTV  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
