It seems almost impossible. But this past May, for the five children of Linda Lunsford, they might have finally found some answers to what happened when their mother didn't come home from work in December of 1996.

The Stas Reeflay Case
Everything is on the internet...The good, the bad, and the downright horrible. And among these content creators are a growing number of social media celebrities-people who have become famous for their YouTube videos, TikToks, or livestreams.

The Horrible Death of Jessica Lane Chambers
The small town of Courtland, Mississippi isn't perfect by any means, but when 19 year old Jessica Chambers was found burning alive along the side of the road on a horrible night in December of 2014, her small community did whatever they could to help find justice for her. For months, police interviewed, searched, and questioned as much as they could to find a lead, but all that they had to go off of was a partial name she whispered out in her last moments alive.
